Floyd Mayweather Vs. Manny Pacquiao Fight May Only Happen ‘By The Numbers’ (Video)

Manny Pacquiao lost a split decision fight last night to undefeated fighter Timothy Bradley who advances to a 29-0 record with 12 Knockouts. Although I won a wager with several friends last night when I picked the 5-1 odds underdog to beat Pacman, I was surprised just like anyone else when it was announced that Bradley won the fight by a split decision.  Although I felt Bradley held his own, it was pretty evident that Pacman was in control of things.  The fight that everyone REALLY wants to see is the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight, but it’s likely to never happen after this point. For those that aren’t aware promoter Bob Arum represents both Pacquiao & Bradley so with last night’s loss it sets the stage for an obvious rematch for sometime in November.  I believe it’s all a ploy to avoid any contest with Mayweather for a possible big-time fight in November.  We have have to face reality that it’s never going to happen.  The video above maybe the closest Boxing fans will ever get to see in terms of a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight if we simply did it by the numbers.

Dan Rather Speaks With Bill Maher On How ‘Corporate Media’ Is Killing The Truth To The People (Video)

I watched this last Friday night on Bill Maher’s show & found it to be very interesting to see former CBS news anchor Dan Rather speaking on how corporate media is being controlled by Washington. It’s something that many of us already know, but to hear a veteran journalist like Dan Rather who worked for years in news speak on it is an great exclamation point to the problem due to a lack of transparency.

The Gangster Squad (Movie Trailer)

“Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and–if he has his way–every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop…except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart. “Gangster Squad” is a colorful retelling of events surrounding the LAPD’s efforts to take back their nascent city from one of the most dangerous mafia bosses of all time.” – GangsterSquadMovie.com

R&B/Soul: Mar – “Our Attempt”

Swedish R&B/Soul singer Mar is back with another quality soul gem with “Our Attempt” which is his first single off of his 5 song EP called “Seeing Her Naked” that he’s releasing in conjunction with Okayplayer. Mar is one of those types of artists that you may not be a familiar with them, but you grow fond of their work with every release because they keep the quality control level high everytime. I’m still bouncing to the joint he did with D.C. producer Oddisee called “Inglewood” as well as the “April 14th” joint with london based swedish singer Szjerdene. Looking forward to the hearing the entire EP later this month especially after looking at this sexy cool looking cover above….

Scott Storch Arrested For Cocaine Possession In Las Vegas (Video)

As a fellow Philadelphia native it hurts me to see producer & arranger Scott Storch go through his struggles with drug addiction. Considering I remember meeting him during his early days with The Roots. According to TMZ, Scott was picked up in Las Vegas last month after failing to pay for his hotel room before getting knocked for cocaine possession. Hopefully Scott can live up to his “Tuff Jew” moniker & eventually kick the habit or get it under control somehow.

NY Police Officers Caught on tape Planting Drugs On A Black Couple (Video)

On February 11, 2011 the UPD pulled over two people on the corner of Oneida Street and Clinton Place in Utica New York. The video shows Utica Police Officers Palladino and Padulla allegedly placing something in the man’s vehicle. It is argued that this is the same bag he took from the driver at around 6:30 of the original video. One of the many reasons this video was posted was because neither suspect had any cocaine on them, yet felony controlled substance charges were given–at a later time than this traffic stop–then eventually dropped. The Utica Phoenix news website had crashed due to the amount of traffic they received in the first 24 hours after this was posted. Obviously they now have since moved to a larger, faster server and all should be working as it should.

50 Cent Explains The Difference Between SMS Audio Headphones & similar celebrity products (Video)

I want to check out the quality of 50 Cent’s new SMS Audio wireless headphones. I’m interested in using some wireless ones as long as they are of the utmost quality, durable, & reliable. With so many artists coming out with headphones it’s not hard to think that most of these celebrities are just out for a quick check. In this interview 50 Cent explains the difference between his headphones & other artists like Dr. Dre, Diddy, & Ludacris who also sell or have headphone endorsements. 50 explains that in addition to having control & more ownership of the company itself instead of them just using his name to sell product, he also detailed that he will also pursue efforts similar to his Street King initiative to feed a billion people in Africa. 50 says a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the headphones will help to feed people here in the U.S. Check out the commercial for the new headphones below…

Prince: A Purple Reign (Documentary)

“Many have rated Prince Rogers Nelson, the diminutive musician, as the greatest of his generation. Rhodri Huw’s well-structured film looks at the career of the boy from Minneapolis and how he came to revolutionize black music in the 1980s and beyond. Via albums such as 1999 and Purple Rain through to his explicit lyrics and spectacular stage shows, Prince has rarely lacked ambition or imagination. Huw’s film captures the highs and lows of Prince’s career and also his battle for control of his music.”
