As Bradley left to fly to England for his first world title fight in 2008, the couple's bank account was a paltry $11.
"We were dead, dead, dead broke," Bradley said, laughing. "I had to win. We had no choice because we'd given everything we had to this and we were just about out of money."
These days, Bradley has no such financial pressures. He'll make a guaranteed $5 million to fight Manny Pacquiao for the World Boxing Organization welterweight title on June 9 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. If the fight does well on pay-per-view, Bradley has the ability to double that amount.
It's a long way from where the couple was four years ago, when Bradley was preparing to face Junior Witter for a super lightweight championship. After long discussions, Bradley and his girlfriend decided that he should focus 100 percent on boxing and survive solely on her salary.
Monica Manzo and Timothy Bradley were middle school…

BoxingScene.com recently spoke to former welterweight champion Kermit Cintron. The fighter of Puerto Rican descent has been inactive since his loss to knockout loss to Saul "Canelo" Alvarez last November. Cintron said that he has been working out in the gym and enjoying time with his family but that he wants to return to the ring.
"I've been staying in some what shape. I've done a lot of weight training," Cintron stated.
"I've been helping kids at the boxing gym and spending time with my family. I still want to fight but need to make some changes in order for me to continue. I'm a promotional free agent right now. I'm doing good and am enjoying my time with my kids," he continued.
Like the rest of the boxing community, Cintron was saddened by the news of Paul Williams' tragic accident that left the former welterweight champion paralyzed from the waist down. Cintron said that even though they were one time adversaries in…

Even bromances have breaking points. Like most friends over the course of time, 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather (allegedly) got into a fight at a Las Vegas restaurant.
According to a tweet from DJ Freddy Fred, Floyd and 50 fought because he owed the Get Rich Or Die Trying rapper $10,000.
With all the money Floyd has, we’re sure that couldn’t have been the main issue–possibly an ego trip?
We just hope this isn’t true because Floyd can go to jail for assault with a deadly weapon being that he is a trained boxer!

Floyd Mayweather is just days away from facing his delayed sentence from charges stemming from an altercation over a year ago, but that hasn't stopped the businessman from making moves. Mayweather has been having serious talks with Hall-Of-Fame Rap artist and movie producer Ice Cube, about working on future projects together.
We know Ice Cube best work is the super successful 'Friday' series in which he starts in, is it possible Mayweather could co-produce the next installment of that series how big is that for Mayweather Promotions. Floyd's oldest daughter, the one he calls Yaya is making her acting debut in a film produced by 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather company as well.

Khan said to thesun.co.uk “The drug tests is in the contract. All my opponents from now on will have to take the tests are there is no fight. I signed up with the Voluntary Anti Doping Association…For every one of my bouts, there will there will be a clause in the contract to either agree or I will walk away.”
Khan can get away with this for the time being but once he takes another loss or two, he might look a little silly trying to come across like he’s dictating the terms. For a fighter that is coming off of a loss to Peterson and who also suffered a 1st round knockout defeat that he never even tried to avenge against Breidis Prescott, it looks like Khan isn’t seeing the big picture here.
Khan is really a fighter that was just exposed – again – in his loss to Peterson in his last fight, and really fought poorly by fouling and running to try and escape his pressure. I could understand Khan being the one that’s calling the shots if he had won his last fight…
