USA TODAY- Floyd Mayweather Jr., the world’s top pound-for-pound boxer, said Tuesday that he and some other investors would be seriously interested in buying the embattled Los Angeles Clippers from Donald Sterling, who was banned for life by the NBA for racist comments and may soon be forced to sell the franchise by NBA owners. “I can’t come in here talking about Mayweather only going to get 3% or 4%,” Mayweather, a huge Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers fan, said at the MGM Grand. “I got to get a solid percentage. “But do we want to buy the Clippers? Yes we do. We’re very, very interested in buying the Clippers.”
Well it has begun. Right after all Donald Sterling’s comments were made public, everyone assumed Magic Johnson would get his group together and buy up the Clips. But now that it’s official from Adam Silver that Sterling is banned for life, everyone with millions of dollars is coming out of the woodwork to throw their name in the hat to own the team. Floyd Mayweather, who clearly has the money, is apparently getting together with De La Hoya and other investors to put the funds together. David Geffen, the music mogul, has had interest in the past in the team and now is back in the news. And I guess Rick Ross (celebrity net worth of 25 mil. Come on playa) wants to own a share and Diddy (he has the money) also wants his name in there. Personally I think if you put together Floyd, Diddy and Magic that would make a really bad ass trio of owners that would become the new place to want to play in the NBA. First it was in Miami with Bron Bron, then Brooklyn with Jigga, now it’s LA and not for the Lakers but with Diddy and the Money Team.
Fucking hilarious that Ricky Rozay wants in. Stick to Wingstop home boy
