MADISON SQUARE GARDEN RESERVES DEC. 1ST FOR FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR./MIGUEL COTTO II!
Rumors are never in shortage when it comes to boxing—especially rumors surrounding certain names, such as Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and their respective opponents. Their theoretical future opposition sometimes changes half a dozen times before something is signed and set. We have been hearing that Manny Pacquiao wants to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., while some say there is a strong probability that he will face Juan Manuel Marquez for the fourth time, and others claim that a rematch with Timothy Bradley will be his next ring appearance. As far as Floyd Mayweather Jr., we have not heard much lately. They only news that have been surfacing is regarding his jail sentencing and updates surrounding that aspect of his life. That was until today. There is now a strong rumor from FightNews.com stating that Mayweather Jr. vs. Cotto II is pretty much set in stone and will be officiated as soon as Money is out of jail. The date is being set for December 1, 2012, at the Madison Square Garden arena in New York. This would be a blockbuster event, as Cotto has a tremendous army of fans in New York, and it would also be a treat to see Mayweather Jr. fight outside of his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. After losing some of his planned opponents, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez wanted Cotto as his next foe, but Cotto rejected that offer. I assume that he got offered a hefty paycheck to fight Alvarez and had refused for a very good reason that we are yet to discover. If the fight between Mayweather Jr. and Cotto gets inked, then it is safe to assume two things: Manny Pacquiao will likely face Bradley toward the end of the year, and the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Jr. fight would likely take place in the summer of 2013.

11 THINGS YOU SHOULDNT DO IN A NIGHTCLUB!
11 Things you shouldn’t do in a nightclub!
Going to clubs would be much more enjoyable if people knew how to behave when there. But there are some benefits to clubbing: you are surrounded by strangers that become new friends, give you a bump or even go back to your place to bang you. Unfortunately, you are just as likely to be surrounded by strangers who will become your fake, annoying friends; these are people from the bridge and tunnel crowd that might even possess several STD’s. Going out is like a double edged sword: you never really know what end of the experience you are going to get. It could be a shit night or a great night. So for those of you who do go out often, we would hope you already know not to do any of these things. For those of who do not go out often, stay away from breaking these rules at all costs, you will be thanking us later.
1. Do not take phone pics inside of the club!
Most clubs are dark, so none of your pictures will come out decent, especially with your lousy Instagram filter. Besides, the last thing you want to look like is the tourist or the desperate sorority girl who is snapping pictures right and left of everything going on. The last thing you want is to have a million pictures of you wasted. It is just bad public representation on your Facebook, and the untagging process is brutal. No need to have evidence of bad decisions; keep those for the mental highlight reel. If you really want to take a photo that badly find the club photographer and have him take your photos he probably has a better camera and if you’re a woman you can probably flirt with them and get the photos for free.
2. Do not be a club groupie!
We remember one time I went to a club event and Ron Artest was they special celebrity guest host that night and I swear women and some guys were treating him like he was David Beckham with his shirt off and all we could say was “ Do they not know that it Ron Artest?”. Now from time to time, nightclubs will have celebrities visit to boost that nightclub’s reputation (just like WIP with Chris Brown and Drake). These celebrities are either there to party, or to collect a ridiculous appearance fee. It is way too common that we have seen people in the club try to flock towards the celebrity to get a picture with them or join their table. We even know one person personally who tries to start a conversation with every celebrity they see at a club. It’s people like you that make going to the club the most terrible thing ever. Newsflash! The celebrities do not give a fuck about you, and the last thing they want to do is to take a picture with you. There is no need to be a celebrity groupie and post statuses on Facebook that they are at the club. They are NOT partying with you, you just happen to be in the same room as them. And that is about as relevant as saying you live in the same country as them, too.
3. DO NOT WAIT IN LINE….FOR ANYTHING!
I don’t care where you are on earth, If you stand in a line for more than 10 mins you’re officially a loser. We do not care if this is the bathroom line or the line outside to get in: the golden rule of life is that if you have to wait on line, you most likely do not belong there. If you have to piss like a race horse, just bully the line and cut it – we have done this countless times. If there is a line outside the club, either get together and get VIP or cut your losses and go to another bar (The drinks are probably cheaper anyway.). Go somewhere else if you cannot get in right away, or find a contact to help you get in instantly. If you’re a woman and you’re waiting in line…..You’re not that attractive. #FixYoFace
4. Do not take off any articles of clothing in the club!
Far too many times have we seen guys take their shirts off. Trust us, there is no way to look good when sweaty. But also, there are far too many times that we have seen rookie girls take their heels off because, “Their feet hurt.” There is nothing sexy about taking any piece of clothing off in a club, and especially taking your shoes off. Here is a thought: if your heels hurt, do not wear them. Here is a thought for you guys, as well: if you need to take your shirt off, go home. Your deodorant has most likely disappeared, so you smell like shit.
5. Do not hangout with the promoter!
Unfortunately, we live in a world where promoters are flocked to every venue. Being a part of a promoter’s table gives you a bad reputation: no one wants to be the promoter’s groupie. Of course, there will always be girls who do not know any better, that is why they are a part of the promoter’s table in the first place. Worst of all, your stomach will be in clear disagreement the morning after from all the cheap “Wodka” you consumed. Promoter girls are never as hot as the promoter ever says.
6. Do not fight the bouncer!
Many have tried and believe me none have succeeded! This is plain and simple: you will never, ever win. No matter how drunk you are, or how big you are, you will not win. If you take a second to think about it, trying to fight a nightclub bouncer is just completely unfair……for you. How can you beat a guy that knows you do not have a weapon (Because they fisked you before you walked in), more sober than you (Because only people that try are completely wasted), and deal with guys like you on a regular basis (So they know all the tricks). Remember people that Rocky/Drago shit only works in the movies.
7. She will never “Be right back”!
O you thought this only happened in scary movies?.....well its worse in the real world. If you ever hear a girl saying “I’ll be right back,” then you can kiss her goodbye forever because, I hate to break it to you, she is not coming back. If she were, she would not be leaving you! What she is bascially saying, is, “Thank you for the free drinks that you gave me along with your terrible conversation.” Do not fall for this move, just move on to the next one.
8. Never use your credit card!
When it comes to nightclubs, Randy Moss said it best “Straight Cash Homie!” We get that you want to be a good friend or show that you’re a big dawg so you will drop your card to book the VIP booth or start a tab for the night, but there are some rules to live by. If you put your card down make sure you tell the VIP hostess that it only to book the booth, after that get the crew together before yall head out to the club and start a collection plate. It is very important that you do no later than 2 hours before you head out because if you don’t ….well like they always say “a fool and his money will soon depart”. Don’t be the happy go lucky friend that allows your boys to “Get the money to you tomorrow morning.” because sorry, you will never get paid back by anyone the next day. Either have the cash, give up some ass, or just say “I’ll Pass!”.
9. Do not just order Champagne in the VIP!
This rule does have a exemptions if there bottles of Rozay, Ace of Spades, and anything else of $500.00/bottle, but for most of you regular guys this is a very bad no-no. When doing VIP you should never have more champagne bottles than alcohol bottles on your table. Champagne is finished way too quickly for you to enjoy it, and no one gets drunk. Ladies like champagne, but they drink that way too damn slow. Only get one or two bottles just to finish the night that way the ladies at your table will be loose off the goose but still feel classy off the champagne which leads to them to feel more comfortable and easier to take home without having to worry about them throwing up.
10. Do not drunk order more bottles!
It happens all the time! People order bottles to start off, get drunk off the bottles but still want to keep the party, bring on more bottles! Now this sounds like a good idea, but it never is. If you’re already feelin right and the bottles that you start off with run out…..just go and order shots at the bar. If you order more bottles more than likely your just showing off and the loudest guy in the room is the weakest guy in the room. You never finish the new bottles and if you do finish them now you’re really messed and you’re gonna probably be passing out soon. Buy more bottles and you’re gonna have two headaches in the morning….in your head and your bank account.
11. Do not do drugs…..in public!
This has to be the most idiotic action of them all. Yes, drug use is pretty big at clubs, and if you are going to do it then do it in the bathroom. Nothing will hurt your image more then people seeing you blow coke off your credit card. And if you are doing coke, just know you are probably not going to get your dick up for the rest of the night. Congratulations! Do not talk someone ear off in the club! In case many forgot, clubs have extremely loud music. So the last thing you should be trying to do is to blow someones ear out by having a full conversation. Keep the conversation simple and short.
Last min tips for the club!
*Don’t complain to the bartender about how long you had to wait to order.
*Don’t steal drinks off the bar!
*Keep getting a hook-up from the bartender to yourself.
*Don’t dance to the point where you are dripping sweat….it’s gross! (Take Breaks!)
*Never fight in the club! *Do not request a song in the DJ Booth with no type of money!
*No making out on the dance floor! (Go to the bathroom with that shit!)

FORMER BAYLOR BASKETBALL STAR ARRESTED IN ROBERT GRIFFIN III EXTORTION ATTEMPT!
Baylor’s basketball team has had no shortage of controversy, drama and legal problems surrounding it in recent years, and there is now another incident to add to the growing list. According to 254Sports, Richard Khamir Hurd, a former Baylor Bears basketball player, has been arrested and charged with extortion against No. 2 overall NFL draft pick and Heisman-winning QB Robert Griffin III. The report states that the 25-year-old is being held in McLennan County Jail as of Monday morning, and is set to appear before Federal Magistrate Jeffrey C. Manske at 2 p.m. There were no details released on why he was arrested except an alleged connection to an “attempt to extort” the new Washington Redskins quarterback. 254Sports found that FBI agents arrested Hurd and returned him to Waco, site of the Baylor campus. Special Agent Eric Vasys was contacted by telephone and said he would not talk about the incident until after the court date. Hurd was a walk-on back in 2004 and played with the team for four seasons, mostly as a bench player that saw limited time on the court. He averaged 1.9 points and 1.2 rebounds in 66 career games. According to Adam Shear of ABC’s Waco affiliate, KXXV, this is not the first time that Hurd has had legal problems and was arrested in 2008 on sexual assault charges.

WILL SMITH SPEAKS ON MEN IN BLACK 4, I AM LEGEND 2, AND PASSING ON DJANGO UNCHAINED
It’s a bit ironic that Men in Black 3 star, Will Smith, was recently quoted as saying, “I don’t want to be the sequel guy,” especially when there are a number of potential franchise sequels with him in the works. Including a possible Men in Black 4, there are also Independence Day 2, Hancock 2, Bad Boys 3, I Am Robot 2 and, of course, I Am Legend 2. While some of you may be confused by Smith’s possible return in that last one, I’ll point you to the alternate ending of the original 2007 blockbuster.
We recently reported that I Am Legend 2 screenwriter, Arash Amel, was making progress on the script before moving on to another project. Smith was also reported to be a producer on I Am Legend 2 in that post, however, as Smith says to BBC News (via Eurweb):
“Producers are working on it. I’m not actually working on it. If it’s great, I’m into it.”
When asked if he’d reconsider, Smith confessed:
“Probably not.”
He went on to talk about the aforementioned sequels, saying:
“I don’t want to be the sequel guy. I figure I’ve got about six or seven more years where I can run and jump a little bit and then I’m going butt and gut for the rest of my career. Butt and gut.”
However, Smith noted that if fans drummed up a groundswell of support for Men in Black 4, he’d consider the project.
In an unrelated article over at Empire (via The Playlist),Smith talked about turning down the role of the freed slave in Tarantino’s upcoming Django Unchained, and it may not have been for the reasons we all thought:
“I came really close, it was one of the most amazing screenplays I had ever ever seen. I was in the middle of ‘Men In Black 3‘ and [Tarantino] was ready to go, and I just couldn’t sit with him and get through the issues, so I didn’t want to hold him up. That thing’s going to be ridiculous. It is a genius screenplay.”
This is how star Jamie Foxx described it:
“When this movie’s done, there’s gonna be some hot button issues but, given my background, I think I’ll be able to get some points across. The one thing that stuck out to me in the script was that Django was married. Back then, to be married was taboo. This is a love story. He’s not trying to stop slavery. He’s not trying to do anything but find the love of his life – which is like trying to find a needle in a world of haystacks.”
