Blind Item #13

This former A+ list athlete/cheat is using his new business venture to sign up a bunch of unknown fighters to ridiculously one side contracts but not doing anything for them except letting them train for 50% off.

Tyson has “Tyson’s Ranch” now and is doing a cannabis music festival.... never really saw boxers as weed smokers though lol

ARod runs a bunch of MMA gyms.

Whoever signs this contract is too trusting and not too bright. Always read stuff yourself and have an attorney explain it to you.

Even without all the legalese this contract sounds ridiculous.

@Tricia13

Floyd Mayweather can't read too well. If this is him then whoever drafted the contract is trying to undermine Floyd or he is in on the scam.

I would be surprised if this is Mike Tyson. He was taken advantage of many times himself.

Def sounds like ARod the MMA world is small so you take any contract you can get starting out for exposure. On top of how much he pushes his gyms when he is on Shark Tank. For a Shark most of the time he sounds more like a walking advertiser than a Shark. Everybody gets a shit deal on the first contract. But jesus you cheap shit let them train for free at least.

I wonder if this is Jon Jones. He won Saturday and he probably couldn't pass a piss test to save his life. I'm waiting for this title to get stripped. It would surprise me if he did something like this because he knows his career is going to end soon. A nice way for him to make some money.

Thank you @T.W..
Glad (and hope you on the mend:)))

Scumbag former athlete acts even scummier, big surprise.

plot said...

Lance wouldn't train fighters and he's off doing some traveling radio show or some such shit, where he is just as unrepentant and macho-defensive as ever.

ARod is on Shark Tank????? For WHAT? He is a fucking athlete not a genius investor...not that the show has any real successful product developers, other than maybe Mark Cuban.

not jon jones. hes planning on fighting 3 times this year.

sandybrook said...

Technically Floyd just fought an MMA exhibition fight over the weekend, so he cant be called former. I think its ARod. Oscar dela Hoya has too much to lose if he's running this scam, his entire boxing empire.

MountainMama said...

I need to know how the guesses are cheaters. I mean they all have scammed the game in one way or the other in the boxing genre after Ali.

hunter said...

@plot - I had a similar reaction to seeing ARod on Shark Tank.

Cuban is cool but Lori Grenier has also had phenomenal product development success (outside of Shark Tank).

plot said...

@hunter

I just did my own fucking research and NO SHIT, Lori has game. I had no idea. Household products are not my usual area of interest but she keeps nailing it. Good for her.

Thanks for the correction.

The Shark I can't abide is Kevin O'Leary, who swindled customers and Mattel alike. He has NO game and is your basic con artist. He shouldn't be on the show except he looks the part.

Unknown said...

It is him..(ARod) just do some research you lazy fucks.. takes no time.

The one thing Tyson is not is dumb, he had one hell of an education.
