For those of you who are annoyed by boxing's impeccable credibility and constantly growing relevance, you'll be glad to know that non-heavyweight champ Floyd Mayweather wants a new career as a rapper.
Mayweather says he wants to become a rapper instead — and change his name to Money. The fighter, 30, who knocked out Brit Ricky Hatton last month, plans to ditch his “Pretty Boy” ring name and work with US rap star 50 Cent. He bragged: “When you talk money, you talk Mayweather.”
Sure why not? If 50 Cent has taught me anything, it's that rapping consists of looking menacing and talking shit you don't back up. So all Mayweather has to do is stop backing up his trash talk and he'll be a huge success.
This story would have been so much better if Floyd has announced his intention to become a raper.

If he announced his intention to being a raper, he would be working with Mike Tyson….Or me.
What happend to becoming an MMA fighter?
Nickname will be Money? Will he do a rap remake of "Take Me Home Tonight"??? Or "Shakin'"???
I hope those two songs are stuck in everyone's head.
Just because you are good at one thing doesn't mean you will be good at something else. For example, I am great at screwing beautiful women but am terrible at finding them.
This goes well with his "I want to be in MMA" campaign. Is there nothing this man can't do?
Youmomsmellsfunny-Yeah, speak coherently.
WDYA, i've got 2 tickets to paradise.
-A man has the right to change his name to vatever he vants to change it to. And if a man vants to be called Money Mayweather, godammit this is a free country, you should respect his vishes, and call the man Money Mayweather!
-His daddy call him Bitch, imma call him Bitch.
My street name is Smooove "Money" G. If Mayweather wants a fight, he's got one. No one jacks the G.
People always end up calling me "oh god no!" but I'm not really sure why.
I could probably be the most accurate puncher of all time too, if I only threw 100 punches a fight and they were all counter punches.
Ricky Hatton really let himself go after the fight.
WDYA – Why yes, they are stuck in my head now. Thanks for that.
I would be more excited if Joe Buck wanted to become a rapper and Floyd Mayweather wanted to sell popcorn. Let's mix up the racial stereotyping a bit.
Thanks to WDYA's and alumni's comments together, I now have Walking in a Hatton Wonderland stuck in my head. It's no Don't Stop the Rock, but I guess it will do.
@UU – Pack your bags, we leave tonight.
For my next (first) prize fight, my entry music will be Walkin on Sunshine. Or maybe Relax. "Relax…don't do it…when you wanna cum…" What could those lyrics possibly mean???
I'd rather hear Butterbean rap about gravy.
Hope he gets shot.
Hope he gets shot at the Mexican border.
I'd rather hear Butterbean rap about gravy.
At least he had the balls to actually step into an MMA ring and not just talk about it or talk shit about MMA fighters.
But yeah, I'd pay to see that.
Apparently, the Wu Tang Clan told his fake ass to get off Shaolin Island and take that Vitamin Water with him before the spirit of the ODB knocked his punk ass out. When I think of Cash, I think of Johnny bitch!
Rap and boxing… two things I detest equally.
Put it on American Idol and you've hit my trifecta for shitty content.
Foolish mortal–you don't announce your intention to become a raper.
At least, the great ones don't.
