Boxing

In case you wondered if the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight was a rich people's event, check out the aerial view of the private jets at McCarran International Airport in Vegas.

The pic was snapped Saturday and it makes it very clear ... you won't see many 7-figure figures sitting backwards on Southwest on the ride back.

Floyd Mayweather may have hugged Manny Pacquiao after the fight, but all is not forgiven with Floyd's fierce grandma.

Bernice Mayweather was leaving the MGM Grand in Vegas after the fight when to told our photog ... there can be no post-fight friendship until Manny takes back all his trash talk against the champ.

Jake Gyllenhaal is no boxing fraud -- the guy can brawl for real ... this according to a real deal ex-kickboxing champ who worked with Jake on his new boxing flick.

TMZ Sports spoke with David Buglione -- a former U.S.K.B.A World Welterweight Kickboxing Champ -- who worked closely with Jake as his stunt double in "Southpaw."

Long story short ... Buglione says Jake trained so hard for the role, he feels he made himself into a legit boxer.

"Without a doubt he could compete. The time he put into the role, the way he transformed his body. It was incredible."

"He started training 3-4 months before the thing even started. By the time we got into it he'd picked up angles, knew how to move and pivot, and sit on his punches."

Lesson? Don't judge a book by it's cover ... or Bubble Boy might just kick your ass.

MOST BALLER DAY EVER!!!!!!!

Rob Gronkowski -- along with some of his New England Patriots teammates -- just hopped on a private jet after watching the Kentucky Derby ... and are now headed to Vegas for the fight!!

BALLER!!!!!!

The Derby was a major team outing -- even Tom Brady made the trip out to Louisville -- but it looks like the QB tapped out when Gronk and Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola decided to charter a jet to Sin City.

It's good to be rich.

11:45 AM PT -- Michelle just tweeted -- "After hearing my credential was pulled, I went home. Told this morning that HBO was able to get it re-approved late last night. That's it. All she wrote. I will now concentrate on Game 7. #GoSpursGo"

10:53 AM PT --Floyd's camp says the reporters are ALL WRONG -- claiming they were NEVER blocked from attending the fight.

Floyd's rep Kelly Swanson just went to Twitter and said, "No one including ME banned [Rachel Nichols] from covering the fight. She is already credentialed. #Facts"

"And [Michelle Beadle] isn't even on the pres list. She's credentialed through [HBO Boxing]. Yes credentialed. #Fact#2"

Swanson says both reporters still have their credentials.

ESPN reporter Michelle Beadle says she has been blocked from attending tonight's Mayweather v. Pacquiao fight ... and claims it's all because she ruffled some feathers in Mayweather's camp.

Floyd's camp hasn't explained why Beadle is blocked -- but it seems it has to do with the fact Michelle has been critical of Floyd and his history with domestic violence.

CNN reporter Rachel Nichols says she has also been blocked from the fight -- Nichols has suggested the ban has to do with the fact she pressed Mayweather on his violent past during an interview back in September.

We're reaching out to Mayweather's camp for an explanation, stay tuned.

If the 'look good, feel good, play good' adage is true ... Manny Pacquiao might be in trouble tonight ... 'cause TMZ Sports has the FIRST pictures of Floyd's fight night boxing gloves ... and they're SWEET.

Boxing brand Grant Worldwide's CEO Elvis Grant Phillips tells us his company hooked the champ up with 8 custom pairs of gloves. Mayweather picked his 3 favorite ... that he'll take to the MGM Grand.

We're told Floyd's torn between the Red/Blue/Silver and Gold/Red/Blue pairs ... it's a tough decision, 'cause he loves them both ... especially the metallic color schemes, which run $2,500-a-pair.

As far as Manny, no word yet on what his gloves look like ...

It was supposed to be the hottest ticket of the year ... but it's gone cold ... and now multiple investors who tried to flip tickets to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao tell TMZ Sports they're losing BIG MONEY.

As we previously reported, ringside seats hit the market for upwards of $80,000 ... and face value of the crappy seats originally went on sale for $1,500.

A bunch of high profile ticket brokers and investors bought up as many tickets as they could get -- thinking it was a sure bet ... since interest in the fight has been through the roof.

But it just ain't panning out -- with one broker blaming the high prices and the fact that tickets only went on sale 10 days before the fight -- and investors are losing their asses.

One company told us they initially bought 80 tickets ... but only moved 20 ... and now they're holding the bag on 60 high-priced stubs.

"It's an embarrassment. We lost a significant amount of money," one broker tells us.

Same story for another ticket broker -- who tells us things have gotten "desperate" and they're slashing prices like crazy.

While Manny and Floyd are knocking each other's heads off, millions of fans will be getting knocked on their asses ... from dat drank ... thanks to a host of drinking games that are taking the net by storm.

The games are catching fire on social media ... and although they vary in the rules and conditions of the swallowing of the booze, it's clear that everyone who participates WILL BE HAMMERED.

Here are the rules to one of the more popular games making the rounds at the moment:

-- If Justin comes out with a stupid grin on his face 1 shot.

-- Every time they show a celebrity in the crowd 1 shot.

-- If they mention Floyd's dad 2 shots.

-- If they mention Manny's politcal career 2 shots.

-- If they mention Mike Tyson dissing Floyd 3 shots.

-- If the winner DOESN'T thank God first 3 shots.

-- 4 shots for a punch below the belt.

-- 5 shots for a draw.

-- 5 shots if Pacman gets knocked out.

-- Finish the bottle if Mayweather gets knocked out.

The guys from "Pawn Stars" can spot a money making opportunity from a mile away -- which is why they believe a Mayweather LOSS would be HUGE for the city of Las Vegas in the long run.

Don't get it twisted ... Corey and Rick Harrison -- who were hangin' at the D Hotel -- told us they're rooting for the hometown guy, Floyd Mayweather ... but explain why Floyd taking the "L" would be MUCH BETTER for Sin City.

Boxing champ Adrien Broner was handcuffed and detained by cops in Las Vegas Thursday night, but not arrested ... and his people say it's all because an "a**hole security guard" didn't like the way he was dressed.

People in Adrien's camp tell TMZ Sports ... the 3-time world champ and 7 members of his posse went to Tao nightclub in the Venetian and plunked down $11k for a table. They say the host took the money and let them in, so they took the escalator up to the club and then things went south.

They say a security guard stopped them and said they had to leave because they weren't dressed properly, claiming their jeans and shoes were a deal breaker. Adrien got pissed and said it was hip-hop night and Fabolous was performing, so they were not only dressed appropriately but others were wearing the same thing.

The guard wasn't moved and ordered them to leave. Adrien refused so the guard called the cops.

Police came, cuffed Adrien and took him to a room. His people say police held the boxer for 20 minutes, let him go and then Adrien and his crew left the hotel.

Check out the video ... you hear Adrien say, "They're mad 'cause I'm rich" ... something that seems to be a theme when Broner meets cops.

Broner was arrested in Ohio back in January for DUI. The boxer humblebragged to the arresting officer he was "blessed" because he made more than $100 million in his career. He pled not guilty and the case is pending.

So far no comment from Tao.

So what's the first thing Manny Pacquiao does after making weight for his big fight?

Scarfs a pack of Butterfinger cups.

Bart Simpson would be proud.

Wanna bet if Justin Bieber will WEAR A HAT during his walkout with Floyd Mayweather??

Well, now you can ... because betting websites are seriously TAKING ACTION on the pop star in some crazy new prop bets for the fight..

We spoke with the people over at BetOnline.ag who tell us Bieber is a hot topic when it comes to prop bets ... which is why they're taking action on the guy. For example:

Will Bieber wear sunglasses during the walkout?
Yes -380 No +260.

Translation -- it's so likely he'll rock shades, you have to bet $380 to win $100.

There's more ...

Will 50 Cent walk out with Mayweather?
Yes +185 No -275

Jamie Foxx's National Anthem time
Over 94 seconds -120
Under 94 seconds -120

Filipino National Anthem time
Over 76 seconds -120
Under 76 seconds -120

It sounds ridiculous, but prop bets are HUGE during major sporting events!

They might hate each other this week, but Manny Pacquiao says he hopes to have a real FRIENDSHIP with Floyd Mayweather ... after they beat the hell out of each other in the ring.

Manny just appeared on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" -- where he also told us that reports he paid more than $3 MILLION for tickets for his friends and family is 100% true.

Question is ... he get a discount? Check out our clip for the answer.

There's more ... we also asked Manny if he thinks Floyd's boast about being better than Muhammad Ali is true. His answer is very interesting ...

He may be the heavyweight champion of the world, but Deontay Wilder still has goals -- telling TMZ Sports he wants to bang Nia Long ... in a sex scene for a Hollywood movie.

See, Wilder has dreams of becoming an actor in addition to the whole boxing thing ... and clearly, he likes the idea of doing some romantic work with the star of "Love Jones," "The Best Man" and "Big Momma's House."

In fact, Wilder says he's had a HUUUGE crush on Long for years ... and in the clip, makes the ultimate pitch to be her leading man in the sack.

You gotta watch the clip -- dude's HILARIOUS!

Bad news for Suge Knight ... Floyd Mayweather will NOT be posting his $10 million bail if he wins his fight this weekend ... this according to a key member of Floyd's Money Team.

TMZ Sports just got off the phone with one of Floyd's most trusted members of his TMT crew -- who tells us Suge's lawyer was just plain wrong when he told media outlets there was a plan in place for Floyd to fork over the money.

We're told Floyd and Suge were close in the past -- but they haven't been in contact in several years.

Suge is currently locked up in L.A. on murder charges -- and his attorney Matthew Fletcher reportedly said Knight was counting on Floyd to cover his bail.

Mike Tyson just WENT OFF on Floyd Mayweather -- saying he's "delusional" for comparing himself to Muhammad Ali ... and called him a "little scared man."

Tyson was doing an interview with the Undisputed Champion Network -- when he was asked about Floyd's claim that he's truly the "greatest" of all time.

Clearly, that set Tyson off ... who proceeded to explain why greatness isn't solely defined in the ring.

Long story short, Tyson says Floyd's just a "small scared man" ... who's so afraid for his own safety in public that he can't take his kids to school without a security team.

"Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people, greatness is being accepted by the people."
