Back in March, Daniel Geiger of Business Insider made a report that a real estate investment boxing legend Floyd Mayweather had allegedly made in New York City, which Mayweather claimed cost $402 million, never actually occurred.

As a result, Mayweather hit Business Insider with a $100 million lawsuit for defamation and denied the report’s validity.

In the aftermath of this, a YouTube account called Fighters Corner published a video titled, “Stephen A Smith EXPOSES Floyd Mayweather For Going BANKRUPT After $402 Million SCAM”. The video went viral (despite not actually having Smith speaking about Mayweather), and made many wonder whether Mayweather was broke.

Mayweather has since spoken out about this, calling out anybody who claims that he’s broke or tries to discredit the amount of money he has in his bank account (which made Teofimo Lopez say, ‘I ain’t never seen numbers like that in my life!’ when he saw it).

But Mayweather isn’t relying on others to talk about how much money he still has. He took that upon himself with a July 4 Instagram video that showed him walking around a supercar dealership and showing off four cars that he said he had just purchased.

The post is captioned, “When y’all make another video about me being broke, make sure you include this footage.”

After showing the first three cars (which look to be a McLaren, a Porsche, and a Ferrari), Mayweather heads outside to flex a Mercedes-Benz sedan, of which only 99 exist in the world. This was the final supercar that Mayweather said he had purchased.

Mayweather earned his “Money” nickname for the staggering amount of money he earned during his iconic, undefeated professional boxing career. And he clearly wanted to make it knows that he’s still got enough of that money to make purchases like these cars.

Venus Williams was told her uterine fibroid symptoms were ‘normal’—here’s what she wants you to know

Venus Williams is used to fighting battles on the tennis court.

But in a recent revelation, the seven-time Grand Slam champion shared a very different kind of struggle—one that didn’t involve rackets or rivals, but doctors and misdiagnosed pain. For years, Williams says, her complaints about fibroid-related symptoms were brushed off by the very people she turned to for help.

“It just got too bad, and I couldn’t handle it,” she said in an exclusive TODAY interview.

JUST IN: Why Serena Williams Sends Emotional Message to Sister Venus Williams

And her story isn’t just powerful—it’s painfully familiar for many women, especially Black women, navigating the healthcare system while battling conditions like uterine fibroids.

“They told me it was normal”

In an interview that sparked important conversations across social media and health circles, Venus opened up about how she struggled for years with bloating, pain, and fatigue, only to be told over and over again that it was “normal.” For a while, she even believed it. After all, she was a professional athlete used to pushing through discomfort.

But as the symptoms worsened and began interfering with her everyday life—and her game—it became clear something wasn’t right. The problem? Doctors still weren’t listening.

Eventually, she was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, a condition that affects an estimated 70% of women by the age of 50, yet remains widely misunderstood and, too often, underdiagnosed.

What are fibroids?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They can be as small as a grape or as large as a melon, and while some women may not experience any symptoms at all, others—like Venus—can suffer from:

Heavy periods
Pelvic pain
Bloating
Frequent urination
Fatigue
Pain during sex

Despite how common they are, fibroids are frequently dismissed, especially when the person reporting them is young, not planning a pregnancy, or simply told to “tough it out.”

Why fibroids fly under the radar

One reason fibroids go unnoticed or untreated is that their symptoms overlap with what many people—including doctors—consider “normal” period experiences. A little cramping? Everyone gets that. Bloating? Must be your cycle. Heavy bleeding? That’s just hormones, right?

Wrong.

While some discomfort can be normal during menstruation, pain that disrupts your life isn’t. Neither is bleeding so heavy it soaks through pads or tampons in under an hour, or bloating that makes you look six months pregnant. “As bad as things were for me, crazy amounts of bleeding like you couldn’t imagine … my doctors told me it was normal,” she said. “I never realized (anything) was wrong.”
Venus’s experience highlights the normalization of suffering that many women endure, often chalked up to just being a woman.

Venus’s story is a reminder that we need better conversations around period health, reproductive issues, and pain—especially in medical spaces. Too many women are told that their pain is “in their head” or “just part of being female,” which not only delays proper treatment but causes deep emotional frustration and mistrust in healthcare.

What you can do if you suspect fibroids

If you’re reading this and wondering whether your symptoms might be more than “just a bad period,” here’s what to know:
Track your symptoms. Write down how often you’re experiencing pain, bloating, or heavy bleeding.

Don’t be afraid to get a second opinion. If your doctor brushes you off, it’s okay to seek someone who takes your concerns seriously.

Ask for an ultrasound. It’s often the first tool used to detect fibroids.

Learn about treatment options. These can include hormonal therapies, minimally invasive procedures like uterine fibroid embolization, and, in some cases, surgery.

Canelo Alvarez Calls Out One Man For Rematch And It’s Not Dmitry Bivol

Canelo Alvarez is targeting a rematch with one former rival in particular.

The 34-year-old from Guadalajara, Mexico is just shy of 70 fights in to an outstanding professional career which began two decades ago when he was just a 15-year-old boy.

Since entering the paid ranks, Canelo has won world title across four weight classes including the undisputed super-middleweight championship which he won for the second time on May 3 when he defeated Cuba’s William Scull in Riyadh.

The Mexican icon is just two months away from doing battle with fellow pound-for-pound star Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford, as the pair get set to lock horns on Saturday September 13 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Despite his considerable success, Canelo has tasted defeat on two occasions since making his debut, with the first of these losses coming against retired five-division world champion Floyd Mayweater Jr in 2013.

In a feature with DAZN Boxing, Canelo admitted that he would ‘love’ to face Mayweather again to potentially avenge the defeat he suffered, but admits that he does not believe this will ever happen.

“Yes, of course [I would like to fight Mayweather again]. I would love the opportunity to get revenge. Obviously we know it’s not going to happen but yes, I would love to get rid of that little thorn.”

Mayweather drew the curtain on his professional career back in 2017, just months after he stopped MMA legend Conor McGregor in the tenth round of their monumental crossover match-up in Las Vegas.

The 48-year-old from Michigan remained undefeated for the duration of his tenure, defeating all 50 of the opponents he faced including Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya and Miguel Cotto.

‘Just keep doing it’: Eye-Opening Tiger Woods News Emerges This Week

Tiger Woods is currently off the competitive golf scene following his March Achilles surgery, his 14th major operation.

Despite this hiatus, fans continue to spot him on the course, often as a supportive dad.

Recently, Woods was seen at the Nicklaus Junior Championship in Tequesta, Florida, cheering on his 16-year-old son Charlie, who finished sixth in a field of 122.

Woods has remained present throughout his son’s rise, including celebrating his first American Junior Golf Association win in May.

However, an astonishing fact about Woods’ own golf game came up this week. On the latest episode of Golf.com’s “Subpar” podcast, that star’s former caddie Steve Williams divulged a wild long‑held secret.

Williams routinely gave Tiger incorrect yardages to exploit his adrenaline‑charged state.

“The one thing I always noticed for Tiger when he was running a little warm is the adrenaline that he would get going,” Williams explained. “I could tell that when the adrenaline was going, he would walk quicker, he would talk quicker. Everything became a bit quicker.”

“The biggest thing I did was adjust the yardages all the time. I mean I was constantly doing that. You know, if it was 160 yards and it’s a 9-iron, I’d be telling him it’s 170 or something,” Williams continued.

“I’d be adjusting the yardages so often because he just got the adrenaline going and ball started going further and further.”

Even on par‑threes, Williams recalled telling Tiger a six‑iron distance as a seven‑iron to keep him in check. The longtime caddie admitted this took courage.

“I had to be extremely aware of that, and I got a very good handle on that, to the point where I can recall one round at Bay Hill in the final round of one of his victories there,” Williams remarked.

“I didn’t give him the right yardage – the correct yardage – on any shot for the entire round… I did that so often when he got running hot and got the adrenaline going,” Williams added.

“Yeah. It took him a while to (figure it out). I can’t remember or pinpoint exactly when he asked me something about it. He said, ‘Just keep doing it. You know what you are doing.’”

FINALLY! Eddie Hearn reveals when Anthony Joshua will make long-awaited comeback

Anthony Joshua will return to the ring before the year is out.

The Watford powerhouse has been out of action since suffering a devastating knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois last September.

During his hiatus, AJ underwent elbow surgery, which will keep him out of high-intensity training for a few more weeks.

But with the end of his rehabilitation in sight, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has begun talking to his client about his next steps.

“AJ is going to get back into the ring around November, December,” Hearn told talkSPORT.com.

“He’s chilled. We don’t decide his opponent, he will, with his training team.

“But collectively, we will say, ‘Here are four or five guys, what do we think? What do we like?’

“Obviously, you do have to be conscious of a potential fight with Tyson Fury, but we are not going to hang around forever, so you need to come back with a good win, and that will be the plan at the end of the year…

“There have been some texts back and forth between me and him [about his next fight].

“He is a student of the game, he watches every heavyweight fight.

“So we just go, ‘What do you think about this guy?’

“But his general reaction is ‘Yeah, no problem’. I have never known him to say no to anyone.

“Maybe that is where we have maybe slipped up a couple of times.

“But that is the nature of man. He has fought everybody in his career, and he will continue to do so.”

A fight with Fury is not expected to come next as ‘The Gypsy King’ isn’t planning on competing again until 2026.

However, AJ could end up in the ring with another one of his long-time rivals, Deontay Wilder.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ returned to winning ways last weekend with a stoppage victory over underhanded American Tyrrell Herndon.

Hearn is currently in talks with Wilder’s manager, Shelly Finkel, over a possible clash with another one of his fighters, Dave Allen.

But Hearn claims Team Wilder has also expressed interest in a bout with Joshua over the coming months.

Wilder is due to box twice more before the turn of the year and could close 2025 in style against Joshua after another tune-up.

Why Serena Williams Sends Emotional Message to Sister Venus Williams

Venus Williams is widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players in history, celebrated for her remarkable skill, athleticism, and resilience on the court.

Throughout her illustrious career, she has captured seven Grand Slam singles titles, including five Wimbledon championships and two U.S. Open trophies.

However, her appearance on the tennis court in recent years wasn’t the most recognized one; instead, we have seen her at more social events than playing tennis. Venus Williams recently revealed that she has been battling fibroids, a condition that has affected her throughout her tennis career.

READ: Venus Williams was told her uterine fibroid symptoms were ‘normal’—here’s what she wants you to know

In May, Venus Williams confirmed that she has not officially retired from tennis, stating that she remains open to returning when the time feels right. Since then, it has been revealed that the elder Williams sister has been dealing with ongoing health issues, A personal challenge she first publicly discussed in an interview with Self magazine.

Venus Williams’ health battle with Fibroids

Venus Williams has revealed that she has been battling fibroids, a painful condition that affected her during some of the most iconic moments of her career. The tennis star discussed her health struggles in an interview with NBC News’ Zinhle Essamuah, opening up about the challenges she’s faced and the impact the condition has had on her life and performance.

Fibroids, non-cancerous tumors that develop in or around the uterus, cause terrible pain, nausea, and persistent anemia during periods for some time. Many of these symptoms worsen during menstrual cycles, a reality Venus Williams openly discussed in her interview. Those were the symptoms that Venus Williams shared during her interview with Zinhle Essamuah.

Williams shared in the interview that she had taken advantage of this time, hoping to surpass this situation, “I’ve been taking this time to rest and recover and live my life and be, you know, a happy person without fibroids.”

Serena Williams Sends a Message of Support to her sister

It is well known that Venus and Serena Williams share a strong, supportive bond both on and off the court. Together, the Williams sisters have competed in numerous tournaments, achieving an incredible 14 Grand Slam titles and three Olympic gold medals in women’s doubles.

Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll’s relationship could break down again for one major reason

There could be trouble on the horizon for Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll.

The 36-year-old golfing icon threw a curveball when, just a day after his victory at the Wells Fargo Championship, he filed for divorce from his wife Erica, 37, with whom he shares a four-year-old daughter, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy.

However, the breakup would be short-lived, as just a few weeks later, Rory and Erica, who met in 2012, made a U-turn on their plans to divorce. The reason for their split was never publicly confirmed, but it was reported that the pair faced struggles in the relationship due to a combination of factors.

JUST IN: Tiger Woods’ new flame Vanessa Trump endured ’emotional rollercoaster’ with…

Erica reportedly felt lonely in their marriage and wanted a more traditional family life, which didn’t exactly bode well with Rory’s demanding and busy golf career.

At the time, one source told US Weekly that Erica felt isolated while her husband was away for tournaments and that they were living “very different lives”.

Regardless of the reasoning behind the divorce filing, the pair seemingly got things back on track. As recently as the 2025 Masters week in April, Erica was there supporting her husband, even going as far as to serve as his caddie.

But could there be trouble on the horizon? Astrology expert Inbaal Honigman seems to think so, if one factor props up that is.

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, she stressed, “Rory and Erica’s star signs have a lot in common, which can be a blessing or a curse, because a relationship of two similar people can enhance their worst qualities as well as their best.

“Both Taurus, which is Rory’s sign, and Virgo, which is Erica’s sign, are Earth signs. Earth signs in astrology are practical, reliable and grounded,” Inbaal explained, adding, “They’re both dependable and responsible.”

“Taurus is a little more indoorsy than sociable Virgo,” the astrologer pointed out, noting, “Virgo is a little more humorous than quiet Taurus, but they’re very similar.

“On the one hand, it makes them compatible, as both will be great at running a household and being respectful of one another.”

However, this very factor could be their downfall. Inbaal warned: “On the other hand, Earth signs aren’t very romantic, so neither are great at expressing their emotions, which can be a difficulty in long-term relationships.”

Relationship expert Jacob Lucas also weighed in, and he had quite the opposite opinion.

“When people get divorced, and they’re fully separated, they’ve had time to reflect upon what happened. They are probably less angry; they’ve had time to think about things.

“They’ll be able to recognise their behaviours, aka, ‘I overreacted there.’ Things may have gotten out of hand, and it is good to have the time apart to recognise why you were together in the first place,” he added, seemingly hinting things may be between and stable for the couple this time round.

Davis also holds victories over the likes of Ryan Garcia, Leo Santa Cruz and Jose Pedraza, with 28 of his 30 professional victories coming via stoppage.

He made his most recent ring appearance against Lamont Roach Jr on March 1, fighting to a majority decision draw against the former WBA super-featherweight champion at the Barclays Center in New York City.

The pair are set to face each other in a highly anticipated rematch on August 16 in Las Vegas, but ‘Tank’ Davis looks to have his sights set on a showdown with IBF world super-lightweight champion Richardson Hitchins.

In a social media exchange with Hitchins, Davis sent a scathing message to the 27-year-old from New York as he urges his countryman to ‘be ready’ for him, hinting that a fight between the pair could be made in the near future.

“When I see you be ready.”

Hitchins successfully retained his IBF crown on June 14, stopping Australia’s George Kambosos Jr with a thunderous body shot in the eighth round of their bout at The Theatre at Madison Square Garden.

The 27-year-old is unbeaten in his 20 professional outings since his debut 8-years-ago and will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of Davis’ highly anticipated rematch against Roach, which could prove to be a ‘fight of the year’ contender.

Tiger Woods’ new flame Vanessa Trump endured ’emotional rollercoaster’ with…

Vanessa Trump has opened up on the “emotional rollercoaster” she went through with her eldest daughter, Kai Trump, last summer when choosing which university she would be attending in 2026.

The U.S. President’s former daughter-in-law may have hit the headlines earlier this year when her relationship with Tiger Woods was officially announced, yet her recent admission on another memorable moment within the last 12 months has now also caught the attention.

Kai recently gave fans a glimpse into what her mom is really like behind the scenes in a TikTok video of the two sharing dinner together. Thankfully for the 47-year-old, Woods’ children are already fond of her, with their warmth towards their dad’s new girlfriend a mutual feeling – as U.S. President Donald Trump gave the romance his seal of approval.

READ: Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are ‘wedding bells serious’: ‘She’s finally found happiness for the first time in her life’

Trump, however, has recently turned heads by revealing what it was like to help her daughter choose her university for next year. Last summer, the mother-daughter duo visited a number of colleges, before Kai ultimately chose to play golf at the University of Miami.

And while she is incredibly proud of the 18-year-old and will offer her full support, Woods’ new flame couldn’t help but admit that it certainly took a toll on her emotions in a recent video uploaded to Kai’s popular YouTube channel.

When asked by one fan to share one of their favorite moments together, Trump said: “We visited quite a few colleges this past summer, which was an emotional roller coaster, a little bit.

“Because obviously when your kid goes away you want them to pick the school that they want to go to, but inside I also want her to go not too far.”

Trump then added that, despite feeling anxious about her daughter leaving home, she remained quiet about the situation in order to allow the aspiring golfer to choose her own path. After Kai chose Miami, Trump admitted that she felt “lucky”.

Her daughter recently caught the eye at the 41st edition of the Nicklaus Junior Championship where she performed alongside Woods’ son, Charlie, although it was the latter who ended up by far the happier at the end of the two-round tournament.

The teenagers, bearing the weight of such huge names on their back, have emerged as two of the nation’s most promising golfers within their respective age categories, and put their skills to the test once more by teeing off in Florida at the end of last month.

After finishing even-par for the tournament with a final round 69 (2-under), Charlie placed sixth in a field of 122 boys golfers, finishing just four shots back of eventual winner Jeremy Hsu of Port St. Lucie, who won the tournament at 4-under.

Kai, meanwhile, finished tied for 21st out of 32 golfers, having struggled to a final round score of a 3-over 74, putting her 17-over for the tournament. That’s despite playing the front nine at 1-under – the best of any girls player in the final round.

Both teenagers currently attend the Benjamin School, a private school in Palm Beach, Florida, where Kai is varsity captain of the golf team. Like her, Charlie is also aspiring to become a pro on the greens, and recently secured his place in the U.S Junior Amateur Championship in July.

Floyd Mayweather Flaunts Ultra-Rare $1 Million ‘Toy’ Purchase in Clapback to Bankruptcy Rumors

**Earlier last month, reports surfaced that boxing icon Floyd Mayweather Jr. had filed a $100 million lawsuit against Business Insider.**

The legal action stemmed from an article claiming that a $402 million real estate investment in New York City’s Upper Manhattan, which the 48-year-old former champion had publicly touted, could not be verified in public records. This implied that the real estate deal might be fabricated.

Soon, rumors began swirling on the internet that Money Mayweather was facing bankruptcy. This was furthered by Mayweather’s former friend, 50 Cent, who suggested that there might be some truth to the rumors. In the wake of the news, a YouTube channel called Fighters Corner posted a video titled “Stephen A. Smith EXPOSES Floyd Mayweather For Going BANKRUPT After $402 Million SCAM,” which quickly went viral, racking up nearly 470K views in a month, sparking speculation about Mayweather’s financial health.

Amid the swirling rumors, Floyd Mayweather Jr. appeared at The Real Deal’s New York City Forum on May 7, where he addressed the bankruptcy claims head-on. “Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but if that’s what you call having two private jets, owning 100 buildings, and being able to do what you want, then I’m pretty sure everybody is going bankrupt,” he responded. True to form, Mayweather has since silenced his critics, this time with yet another humongous purchase.

Just a few hours ago, Floyd Mayweather Jr. took to Instagram with a post that read, “When y’all make another video about me being broke, make sure you include this footage.” The video showcased four of his newest car purchases, adding to what’s estimated to be a $40 million car collection. Reportedly, Floyd Mayweather Jr. owns around 100 cars of various makes and models. His all-black fleet is based in Los Angeles, while an all-white collection remains in Miami. And this latest batch of luxury vehicles is just another addition to his ever-expanding garage.

In the video, the 50-0 boxer can be seen inside a showroom alongside his car dealer, Nick, while proudly walking the viewers through his newest purchase. “It’s the money man. I’m back like I ain’t never left,” he begins. Pointing to a blue sports car, he explains, “This is one of my new toys. I like to call this Miami Dolphins or Tiffany Blue, whatever you want to call it.” The clip then shows a Ferrari 488 Spider: “This toy right here, I like to call the Italian Stallion. Kind of reminds me of Rocky Balboa.” Next, he unveils a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, adding, “I like to call this one right here, White Girl Waste.”

Finally, Floyd Mayweather walks outside while stating, “They say, save the best for last.” And Nick introduces the crown jewel, a rare Maybach Landaulet G-Wagon, valued at upwards of a $1 million. “One of only 99 in the world,” Nick explains, adding that it had “delivery miles” on it. Mayweather climbs into the vehicle, sits back, and declares, “First class on the ground. Money May, y’all know the rest,” before ending the video. That should be enough to show the former boxer is doing pretty well in life, right?

Regardless, if you still think Floyd Mayweather Jr. went broke, he’s more than ready to offer a few more receipts to prove otherwise.

Floyd Mayweather breaks silence on bankruptcy rumors with a flex

Through his legendary boxing career and sharp business ventures, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has built an astonishing net worth of $500 million. So, when reports surfaced questioning his financial standing, many were taken by surprise. In what appeared to be a direct response to those claims, the 48-year-old shared a bold post on Instagram, writing, “I’m still Cocky, I’m still Flamboyant, I still don’t give a F#ck!”

During his time in the ring, Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated every opponent he faced. Meanwhile, two of his most notable rivals, Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez, are preparing for high-profile returns. Pacquiao, now 46, is set to face Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title, while Canelo takes on Terence Crawford in a super middleweight superfight on September 13. Mayweather, however, has shifted his focus to business, becoming a serious real estate investor with growing interests in that field.

Still, his boxing skills haven’t completely faded. Recent training footage of Mayweather hitting pads has reignited speculation about a possible comeback. At 48, a return to professional boxing seems unlikely, but he’s remained active through exhibition bouts, having faced the likes of Logan Paul, Tenshin Nasukawa, Deji, and Mikuru Asakura.
