pot wasnt real. Neither, admitted Floy
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The pot wasnt real. Neither, admitted Floyd Mayweather Jr., was much else that went on in the cable television shows promoting his latest fight.Not the joint rolling parties with a bevy of female friends in his Las Vegas mansion. Not the 31 minute fights without a break in the Dog House of his gym just off the citys glittering Strip.Not even the betting that went on between Mayweather and others over who was going to win.I dont want to just sell a fight, Mayweather said. I want to sell a lifestyle.Called before Nevada boxing regulators Tuesday to explain what went on in the Showtime All Access shows aired earlier this month before his rematch with Marcos Maidana, Mayweather said it was all just made-up entertainment to sell the fight.It worked, he said, bringing in enough of an audience for him to sell more pay-per-views for a fight in which he was guaranteed a $32 million payday.It wasnt real marijuana, Mayweather said. Its all about entertainment.Mayweather, who earlier this year was licensed as a promoter in Nevada, was summoned by Nevada State Athletic Commission Chairman Francisco Aguilar to explain scenes in the All Access show that ran a few days before the fight. Mayweather is listed as the executive producer of the show, which bills itself as a reality series filming boxers before their bout.Turns out it wasnt so real after all.Its a new generation, a young generation, Mayweather said. We believe in going outside boxing and doing something different. Because we did something different we got better pay-per-views this time around.Showtime does not release pay-per-view buys but various reports say the rematch with Maidana did slightly better than the first fight, which did not reach 1 million buys. Mayweathers fight last year with Canelo Alvarez was boxings richest, drawing some 2.2 million buys.Mayweather appeared before the commission with longtime adviser Leonard Ellerbe and one of his attorneys. Notably missing were his normally large entourage and the very large bodyguards who usually trail him everywhere.Aguilar and the other commissioners were most interested in two fights shown on All Access. which was presented as going on for more than a half hour without break, ending only when the beaten boxers quit. On the show, Mayweather is shown arranging the bouts and cheering the fighters.The dog house — the rules are you fight till whoever quits, Mayweather said on the show.Appearing before the commission, though, Mayweather said the fighters got three to four long rest breaks during the sparring sessions.We do take breaks when we spar. I make sure, Mayweather said. Im not going to let anyone get hurt because safety is very important to boxing.Attorney Shane Emerick said scenes showing cash exchanging hands in bets on the fight also didnt happen, and Mayweather knows gambling in the gym is illegal. He also said Mayweather doesnt smoke marijuana or drink alcohol, and wouldnt be around secondhand marijuana smoke because it could show up in drug tests for the fight.Mayweather is shown in All Access at his mansion while joints are being rolled and smoked. At one point he tells an assistant to go get some more rolling papers.Commissioners said they were happy with Mayweather appearing before them, and satisfied with his explanations.You accomplished your goal, Aguilar said. I think you represented yourself well.Asked as he was getting on an elevator to leave why anyone would want to watch the show if they knew it was all staged, Mayweather smiled and said: You know I love you guys.

Discount Minnesota Vikings Jerseys . -- Phil Mickelson will be watching the final two rounds of the Masters from home for the first time in 17 years.Fort Worth, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - It took an extra session, but No. 21 Baylor prevailed over TCU, 66-59, on Saturday. Defenses shined in this game with the teams combining to shoot 33.6 percent and make just 3-of-25 from behind the arc. Taurean Prince scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Bears (12-3, 1-2 Big 12), and Rico Gathers added 17 points and a career-high 18 boards. The Horned Frogs (13-3, 0-3) lost for the third straight game after finishing non-conference play undefeated. They have now lost 21 games in a row in Big 12 play. Kyan Anderson tallied 16 points for TCU, its only player to reach double figures. The entire game was played in a 12-point window in which neither team led by more than five until the Bears hit four free throws in the final 10 seconds of OT. With shots not falling from the floor, the teams needed to get to the line, but they are each among the worst free throw-shooting teams in the country. Baylor made 31-of-46 shots from the charity stripe, and TCU made just 15-of-28 attempts. I thought TCU defensively was outstanding, said Baylor coach Scott Drew. The good thing is we found a way down late to come back and get a win in the Big 12. At the end of the day, its tough to win the game let alone a road game. TCU took its biggest lead with 4:46 to go in regulation on Amric Fields layup, but a Prince dunk and Lester Medford three-point play tied the ggame.dddddddddddd With 1:21 to go, Karviar Shepherds jumper broke a 51-51 tie, but Kenny Cherys shot at the other end brought Baylor even. Baylor had possession of the ball with an approximate one-second difference between the shot and game clock, but TCU forced a shot clock violation with less than a second in regulation. Video replay showed 1.7 seconds remained for TCU to try and win in regulation. However, after Anderson received the inbounds pass, he stumbled and could not get a shot off. The Bears never trailed in overtime after Chery hit a pair of free throws on their first possession. The Frogs shot just 1-of-6 from the field in OT. We are a better team than we have shown, especially with free throws and turnovers. We just have to fix that, said Anderson. A back-and-forth first half ended in a 28-28 tie. After Baylor made three of its first four shots from the field, it made just two of its next 17. Kenrich Williams jumper with 4:37 to go in the first half put TCU up 21-19, but the Horned Frogs did not hit from the field again before the break.
