Daniel Cormier says he definitely wants in on the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight ... telling TMZ Sports he'd be cool taking 2nd billing in exchange for "life-changing money."

Of course, the fight would be Cormier vs. Jon Jones -- a rematch that would headline any other card.

Cormier says he hasn't been involved in any talks to appear on the card (probably because the main fight hasn't been made yet) ... but if it comes to fruition, he wants in.

"Any human being that gets part of the Pay-per-view would definitely want to be a part of that," Cormier says, "If you are on a card with Mayweather and McGregor, and me and Jon Jones. It would do ridiculous numbers. You'd get paid."

Regardless if the mega fight happens ... D.C. says there's 1 thing he's gotta do to cap off his career ... beat Jon Jones.

Floyd Mayweather took his rain-makin' abilities from the strip club to the basketball court Thursday night ... and the champ had no problem cashing in.

Floyd posted the video showing off his solid jumper ... knocking down 6 straight shots with ease.

Heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder is being sued by another boxer over a post-fight melee back in February in which Wilder allegedly screamed out, "F*ck your kids."

The man behind the suit is fellow heavyweight fighter Dominic Breazeale -- who fought on the same card as Wilder in Birmingham, Alabama on Feb. 25.

After the boxing matches, Wilder and Breazeale got into it in the lobby of the Westin Hotel -- a violent incident Breazeale claims was started by Wilder and his camp.

In his suit, Breazeale says he was with his wife and kids (ages 5 and 8) when Deontay and his brother, Marcellus, attacked him out of nowhere ... throwing punches, spitting and cussing like crazy people.

Breazeale says his wife begged the Wilders to stop fighting in front of the children to which Deontay replied, "F*ck your kids."

Breazeale says not only was he assaulted and injured in the brawl -- but his kids are emotionally scarred by the incident.

Breazeale says his younger child is afraid for his father's life and repeatedly asked if Deontay and Marcellus are going to kill him.

Andre Ward wants Sergey Kovalev to know he's in for a bad night when they face off in the ring again ... telling TMZ Sports "he's got big problems" come June.

The Champ says he's not fazed by Kovalev threatening to end his career ... and even challenges the Krusher to back up his words.

Ward says Kovalev's words only fuel his drive to dominate the light heavyweight rematch ... and hints there won't be any controversial decision this time around.

Floyd Mayweather called out Adrien Broner right to his face Tuesday night about that crazy diss video he made about the champ ... and in a shocking twist, he totally let Broner off the hook!!!

As we previously reported, Broner called Mayweather a "bitch" (and other offensive names) for backing rising boxing superstar Gervonta "Tank" Davis in his beef with Broner.

FYI, Davis (who's undefeated) is part of The Money Team and says Broner is jealous of his success.

Well, Mayweather went right to Broner last night and told him straight-up -- YOU'RE TRIPPIN'.

Broner backed down in a big way -- and admitted he only made the video in the first place because he thought Floyd was secretly pitting Davis and Broner against each other.

So, Floyd and Broner are friends again ... but Davis still wants to beat AB's ass and told "TMZ Sports" he wants to get a fight on the books for 2018.

Enough talk ... boxing champ Gervonta "Tank" Davis says he's ready shut Adrien Broner's mouth with his fists.

Broner WENT OFF on the undefeated 22-year-old fighter earlier this week in an n-word laden, homophobic tirade ... and even blasted Floyd Mayweather for allowing Tank on The Money Team.

But Tank joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Tuesday night on FS1) and fired back -- saying Broner's hate stems from simple jealously.

"I came up so fast and I'm taking his spotlight," Davis said ... "He fell short."

Davis says Broner was supposed to be the "next Floyd Mayweather" but he fell short and it's killing him.

Meanwhile, Davis is 17-0 and the reigning IBF junior lightweight champ.

Davis says the two are headed for a showdown ... and that sounds great to us!

It's time ... to rumble!!!!!

UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer says if Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather actually happens -- he'd love to do the fight with his famous ring announcer brother, Michael Buffer!!

Of course, you know Michael Buffer for famously busting out his signature catchphrase at some of the biggest boxing matches of all time ... "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!"

So, if the two sports collide ... why not bring in the best from both sports to fire up the crowd??!

** WARNING: Horrible language, violent threats, and homophobia **

Adrien Broner just reignited his beef with Floyd Mayweather ... calling the Money Man a "bitch," and it's all over his relationship with a rising boxing superstar.

The boxing star is Gervonta "Tank" Davis ... an undefeated champion and member of Mayweather's Money Team who recently called out Broner, demanding a fight with him.

Broner apparently took the challenge as the ultimate sign of disrespect, claiming he and Davis are pals, and alleging Floyd tricked the kid into making the challenge, and he ain't happy.

He also vows to do to Davis what Faizon Love did to that guy at the airport. You know the video.

We warned you, watch at your own risk.

Wanna drive like Floyd Mayweather? If you've got a cool $4 mil you can buy his old 2015 Bugatti ... on eBay!

TMZ Sports has learned the boxer recently sold his 2015 Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse to the Luxury Auto Collection in Scottsdale, AZ ... which is now offering it up with a $3.95 million price tag.

L.A.C. even created a post on eBay in case any rich people wanna get in an online bidding war over the whip.

The listing says the car has a top speed of 254 mph, with a 0 to 60 time of 2.4 seconds.

"With only 150 Grand Sports built worldwide, this car was one of the last Grand Sports brought to the US this is an extremely rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive and boxing history."

Mayweather also sold his 2011 Bugatti Grand Sport to L.A.C. ... which is on sale for $2.45 mil.

Ex-boxing champ Kelly Pavlik worked out two plea deals in a single day, resolving charges relating to a pellet gun attack from 2015 and allegations of breaking and entering in 2011.

As we previously reported ... the former WBO and WBC middleweight champ was charged with felony assault in 2015 after he shot a guy with a pellet gun.

Prosecutors added the breaking and entering charge stemming from a 2011 incident where he allegedly broke into a foreclosed house and stole piping.

A rep for the Mahoning County Court tells us Pavlik pled guilty to a reduced charge in the gun case on Thursday. He was sentenced to 6 months in jail, but the judge suspended the time.

In the breaking and entering case, he entered a supervised diversion program that will last at least a year. If he successfully completes the program, the charge will be dismissed.

Conor McGregor laced up his gloves and boxing shoes and hit the asphalt in Ireland for a little outdoor training for the Floyd Mayweather fight ... and he looks good.

The UFC star ran through some speed drills with fellow UFC fighter Artem Lobov -- who also happens to train with Conor's coach, John Kavanagh.

Floyd Mayweather has one-up on Superman ... his cape is designer made.

The boxer was pre-gaming in Miami before hitting the clubs with his pal, Adrien Broner -- rocking a Versace robe with a matching blanket he used as a cape.

A short time later, they hopped in a TMT Jeep -- customized with TMT rims.

Inside the club, there was dancing, drinking and ladies.

Hayden Panettiere says she's "pretty confident" her baby daddy, Wladimir Klitschko, will destroy Anthony Joshua when they face off later this month ... telling TMZ Sports "we're ready."

Hayden breaks down her role in Klitschko's preparation ... and says she's gonna be right in the front row when it all goes down at Wembley Stadium on April 29.

Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather will SUCK ... so says Lennox Lewis who says the hypothetical match is more of a spectacle than a real fight.

The former heavyweight champion of the world says he respects both guys in their respective sports -- but putting them both in the same ring is a disaster waiting to happen.

Roy Jones Jr. says he's NO LONGER in the cockfighting game -- telling TMZ Sports his roosters are now used to train human fighters ... instead of feathered ones.

Photos have surfaced of rooster cages at Roy's Florida compound -- leading some to suspect the boxing legend was involved with underground bird fighting.

But Roy says the rumors are 100% false -- insisting he quit the sport when it was outlawed in 2008 in Louisiana, the last U.S. state to ban the sport. Although he enjoys cockfighting, Roy says he would never break the law.

Roy says he would love to move to a country where the sport is legal -- like Mexico or Puerto Rico -- but he's too busy training boxers ... and uses the birds as part of his workout regimen.

Picture that scene from "Rocky II." Roy says he's been using that training method for decades and it helps with hand eye coordination.

As for claims cockfighting is animal abuse, Roy is adamant he's not forcing the birds to do anything they're not biologically programmed to do ... and says most cockfighters love their birds like their own children.

Floyd Mayweather will still be welcome at his daughter's cheerleading events -- despite the showdown with officials over the weekend ... TMZ Sports has learned.
