Carrie Underwood, Muhammad Ali and Gronk all in the same place???

Former world champion Shane Mosley says he'd love to have a rematch with Manny Pacquiao ... this time to pummel his face in the name of gay rights.

Mosley and his GF were on their way out to NYC to watch Manny fight Tim Bradley on Saturday night -- despite calls for protest -- but say they don't support Manny's views on gay people.

In fact, Shane (with some coaxing from his GF) told us he's down to get in the ring with Manny again ... and this time, he'd fight in HONOR of gay rights.

If Adrien Broner wants to roll up on Floyd Mayweather, he's gonna have a HUUUGE problem -- so says Floyd's TMT bodyguard Greg La Rosa.

Greg -- one half of Floyd's "Barbarian Brothers" security team -- was at LAX when we asked about Broner's vow to fight Money.

Long story short ... Greg says Broner better keep things to the ring -- 'cause if he tries to pull anything in the streets, it's not gonna end well.

A.C. Slater's no bitch ... so says UFC superstar Urijah Faber who tells TMZ Sports when it comes to fighting, Mario Lopez is the REAL DEAL.

Faber says he and Lopez have been friends for a while -- and can personally vouch for his fighting skills ... saying Lopez really excels in boxing and wrestling. For real.

"Mario is a beast, brother."

The "Extra" host is 42 years old -- but Faber says the guy is in insane shape and could seriously hold his own if Dana White comes calling for a real deal UFC fight.

Zack Morris rematch, anyone???

Wanna make some money?

Do you trust one of the greatest boxers of all time?

Great. Pay attention.

We got right down to business with Roy Jones Jr. -- asking him straight up, "Who should we bet on in the Amir Khan vs. Canelo Alvarez fight on May 7th??"

He answers the question -- so, might be time to book that trip to Vegas.

Here's proof 47-year-old Will Smith still has it in the squared circle -- video of the Fresh Prince getting some in-between takes work with a woman ... who could probably really kick his ass.

Will is in NYC filming "Collateral Beauty" and took a break from set to duck into the Overthrow boxing gym ... for some light sparring with WBC women's champ Alicia Napoleon.

Check out the clip ... Smith looks like he hasn't forgotten the moves he learned on "Ali" ... pulling off a perfect rope-a-dope. We're told he also hit the heavy bag a little while he was there.

Rumble middle aged man rumble.

Boxing superstar Adrien Broner turned himself into cops in Ohio this morning ... for allegedly beating and robbing a man outside a bowling alley with a gun.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Broner was charged with felonious assault and aggravated robbery in mid-March ... and a warrant was issued.

Broner arrived at the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department Monday morning ... where he was processed and released after posting $100k bail.

AB posted on Instagram immediately after, saying "They let me out y'all.... #AboutBillions #ImGood".

FYI -- Broner fought in the Premier Boxing Champions on Friday night in D.C. He knocked out opponent Ashley Theophane in the 9th round.

Gloves are off ... Floyd Mayweather is hitting Adrien Broner where it hurts -- calling him a broke ass "snake" who's become a real life problem.

Mayweather called in to FightHype.com and went off on his former friend ... ripping him for everything from AB's legal issues to his boxing record to his bank account.

It's brutal ... especially the part where Mayweather says AB stands for "Always Broke."

"One of my cars cost more than he made in his whole career."

Yeah, but one of your cars cost more than MOST PEOPLE make in their career.

Wanna see Matt Barnes beat the living hell out of Derek Fisher? Great, now you can.

A dude named Eric Bui turned the feuding NBA stars into characters in the new "EA Sports UFC 2" video game ... and let 'em battle it out in the Octagon.

It didn't go well for Fisher.

Enjoy!

Oscar De La Hoya says he's known Donald Trump for decades -- and says he "truly feels" his old friend's antics are simply an act in a diabolical plot to get Hillary Clinton elected.

He's dead serious.

Oscar joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show on FS1 -- and brought up Trump ... saying Donald inspired him to put together his upcoming superfight between Canelo Alvarez and Amir Khan because they both come from backgrounds that Trump has targeted in his campaign.

Amir is Muslim and Canelo is Mexican ... and Oscar says, "Let me put them in there and create this big mega event and show Trump that we belong in this country."

They fight in Vegas on May 7th.

Floyd Mayweather stopped a media tour dead in its tracks to shout-out a 15-year-old prodigy who's taking the boxing world by storm ... and Floyd says he could be the next Money Team fighter!

Mayweather was at the W Hotel in D.C. when he noticed Lorenzo "Truck" Simpson in the crowd ... and stopped an interview to call out the kid.

"I see it, that kid can fight!"

Turns out, his instincts were right ... Truck reportedly has a 145-2 record as an amateur and has SIX National Silver Gloves titles under his belt.

In the clip, Floyd said he wants to sign Truck "when he gets a little older" -- explaining, "Everything takes time. We ain't worry about that. We'll get there."

Afterward, Mayweather issued a statement to TMZ Sports saying, "[Truck] is a great amateur fighter. His is only 15 right now but I look forward to working with him when he turns 18."

Step aside Marco Rubio, legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum says Donald Trump is a "disgrace" and wants to take him down in a boxing match.

Arum thinks the other Republican candidates are going soft on Trump. At a boxing event Friday he vowed, "I'll handle him, not like these guys who don't hit him and treat him with kid gloves."

Watch the clip ... he's talking a big game.

Mayweather-Pacquiao would never have happened if a Hollywood waiter didn't get involved ... so claims the waiter who's suing to get a chunk of the financial windfall from the fight of the century.

Gabriel Salvador says he was a waiter at West Hollywood hot spot Craig's when regular customer and CBS honcho Les Moonves came in for a meal. Salvador, an avid boxing fan, says he told Moonves he could set up a meeting with Manny Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach -- which, he thought, would be the first domino in making the fight happen.

According to docs obtained by TMZ Sports ... Salvador eventually got all 3 men together at Scarpetta in Bev Hills in May 2014. For setting up the sit down, Salvador says he told all parties he wanted a "customary finder's fee" of 2% of gross proceeds earned by Pacquiao, Roach and CBS/Showtime from the fight.

In the suit, he says Moonves and Roach agreed to the terms and Roach even said, "You will never have to work another day as a waiter in your life."

Salvador admits he got a ticket to the fight, one night at a Vegas hotel and a $10,000 check to cover expenses.

After the fight, he says Moonves told him CBS didn't make any money on the fight, and he'd have to collect his fee from Pacquiao and Roach. But Salvador says Keith Davidson, an attorney for Manny and Freddie, tried to strong arm him into accepting $50,000 -- and if he didn't he would lose his job and never land any acting gigs.

Yes, like most waiters in this town ... he's also an aspiring actor.

Salvador, who's still waiting tables, is suing Manny, Freddie, Keith Davidson and CBS for his finder's fee ... which he estimates at $8.6 million.

Sources connected with CBS tell TMZ ... Salvador had nothing to do with setting up the fight and this is him trying to score a payday after the fact.

Nina Agdal is the latest model to head into a ring with a trainer, proving hot babes are to boxing what football players are to dabbin'... they're all doing it.

The S.I. 2014 cover girl hit the ring at the world famous 5th St. gym in Miami with owner Dino Spencer.

Dino says Nina's a regular who comes in and trains everyday when she's in town.

Her workout is no joke ... 3 minutes of heavy hitting followed by a minute of lunges, burpees and planks ... done 15 times.

Normally, seeing Nina with so much clothing would be a bummer, but check out her killer reflexes!

She a TKO.

The superfight at Jerry World is one step closer to fruition ... 'cause Oscar De La Hoya met with Jerry Jones Thursday to discuss Canelo Alvarez vs. GGG at AT&T Stadium.

As we previously reported, Gennady Golovkin's camp had been in touch with Jones -- who expressed great interest in hosting the fight at his mega-stadium in Dallas in September.

Well, Oscar reps Canelo -- and made the trip to Big D to push along the conversation ... and by the looks of things, it's going well.

There are two other venues in the running -- the MGM Grand in Vegas and NYC's Madison Square Garden ... but we're told both sides REALLY want to make this thing happen in Dallas.

BTW, we spoke with GGG earlier this week about the prospect of fighting at AT&T Stadium -- and the guy was PUMPED ... telling us it would be "HUGE" for the sport.

Magic Johnson is lashing out at Manny Pacquiao -- saying he'll NEVER watch another Pacman fight after he trashed gays as "worse than animals."

The NBA legend went to Twitter and wrote, "I applaud Nike for terminating Manny Pacquiao's contract after his derogatory statements that gay people are worse than animals."

"Fans of all walks of life including gay fans supported May/Pac fight putting $100M in his pocket. I guess to him their money is still green."

"I won't be watching another one of Manny Pacquiao's fights."
