On Saturday night, unparalleled loud mouth and cheap shot artist Floyd Mayweather, Jr. extended his career record to 43-0 after he defeated Miguel Cotto (37-3) by unanimous decision (118-110, 117-111, 117-111) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Since I’m not much of a boxing guy – all my boxing is of the foxy variety – I had to depend on Twitter for fight analysis, and words used to describe Mayweather’s victory included surgical and diabolical, while I just saw things as punchy and huggy.

But the big difference between Mayweather and Cotto came before the fight even began, as the pugilists made their way to the ring with their respective entourages. Cotto came to the ring with his son, a respectable tribute to the inspiration he provides to his own flesh and blood. Mayweather, on the other hand, was joined by Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and… Justin Bieber?

Who says that boxing has forgotten the 13-year old female demographic?

Rappers have made some of the worst movies in the history of American cinema. Cam’ron’s infamous Killa Season comes quickly to mind, but there have been countless more, including 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Trying. A 17% on the Rotten Tomatoes ‘Tomatometer’, however, will not keep Fiddy from giving they public more of what they obviously do not want. His new movie, Things Fall Apart, for which he lost 60 pounds, finally has a trailer. And by God, does it look awful.

As you’ll recall, Fiddy plays fictional Michigan Wolverines football star, Deon Barnes, whose NFL aspirations are ruined after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now, with the help of his family and Dr. Ray Liotta, 50 must beat cancer and the odds by making it to the NFL. But the producers done messed up big time, filming at a Grand Rapids community college stadium and indoor soccer facility, painting pieces of wood to fill in as extras, using that same community college team’s uniforms, while making sure to include no actual connection to the University of Michigan. All of which make the movie a perfect storm of suck, and the trailer certainly lives up to expectations. It’s posted after the jump, for the consideration of the Academy.

Good afternoon, ESPN. Hey, we’re calling for 50 Cent. He’s a big fan of SportsCenter and he wants to come on. He does? Yeah. He…wants to come on SportsCenter…as an anchor? Yeah, we were thinking more like an analyst, you could ask him questions, and he could give you his opinions on sports. Fitty has opinions on sports? Well, no, not really. Sounds great. When can he come in?
