| MIAMI - Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have finally met — in person.And now talks might get serious about them meeting in the ring.The fighters were both sitting courtside, directly across from one another, at a Miami Heat game on Tuesday night. Mayweather went over to Pacquiao at halftime, the men shook hands and chatted briefly, then exchanged phone numbers.He gave his number to me and said we will communicate with each other, said Pacquiao, adding that he had never before met Mayweather in person.Asked to clarify if the exchange meant the two would negotiate directly about meeting in the ring, Pacquiao said that was the case.Mayweather did not respond to a question asked by an AP reporter. Not now, one of his security guards said, as Mayweather fiddled with his phone.A bout between the two would almost certainly be the richest ever in boxing, potentially grossing as much as $250 million. Mayweathers take alone could exceed $100 million.Mayweather said last month that hes ready to make the fight happen May 2. Asked Tuesday if that date can finally be the one, Pacquiao — who has said its time to give boxing fans what they want — nodded and said yes.When Mayweather said he wanted the May 2 fight to happen, he said Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum had been the main obstacle for it not coming together in the last five years. Mayweather repeated his old charges about Pacquiao not wanting to do blood tests prior to the fight for it not happening five years ago.He also has no doubt that he could beat Pacquiao.I know that hes not on my level, Mayweather said last month.Pacquiao has a similar confidence, saying on Twitter recently that I can easily beat @FloydMayweather, I believe that.It appears to be happenstance that Mayweather and Pacquiao were together on Tuesday.Pacquiao has been in Miami for several days, after serving as one of the judges in the Miss Universe pageant at Florida International University. He was supposed to leave Tuesday night but said his flight was cancelled — as many were in South Florida because of the crippling effects felt nationwide by the havoc a winter storm caused in the New York and Boston areas.So Pacquiao decided to come to the Heat-Milwaukee Bucks game. Hes a noted basketball fan and has a good relationship with Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, who is of Filipino descent.Mayweather has been a regular courtside attendee at Heat games for several years.And it just so happened they picked the same game. Pacquiao said he didnt expect to see Mayweather — who had a seat just a few feet from Spoelstras spot on the side of the court where the Heat have their bench.Mayweather, the WBA and WBC welterweight champion, hasnt lost in 47 fights. Pacquiao, the WBO welterweight titleholder, is 57-5-2 in his career.Even the Heat weighed in on the buzz surrounding the potential fight. They put photos of both fighters on their video screens during a first-half stoppage in play, with the caption Coming in 2015?Theres no sure answer — yet. Andre Reed Jersey .

According to a release sent by the league, the Saskatchewan Roughriders were the only team to exceed the cap. Their total salary expenditure of $4,417,975 was $17,975 over the salary cap of $4.

The 28-year-old lefty made his MLB debut in 2013, making 10 starts and going 2-5 with 4.05 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. Albers was named the Twins organizations minor league pitcher of the year for 2013.Berea, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - The Cleveland Browns have officially ended Johnny Manziels rookie season by placing the rookie quarterback on injured reserve Wednesday. Browns head coach Mike Pettine had already stated during his Monday press conference that Manziel would miss Sundays season finale at Baltimore with a hamstring injury the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner sustained in Clevelands Week 16 loss to Carolina. Manziel wasnt able to meet expectations in his NFL debut, as the first-round pick was beaten out by journeyman Brian Hoyer in the preseason and served as the backup for the Browns first 13 games. He got his chance to start in Clevelands game against Cincinnati on Dec. 14, but managed just 80 passing yards and was intercepted two times in a 30-0 loss to the Bengals. The former Texas A&M star was 3-for-8 for 32 yards before exiting late in the first half of Sundays 17-13 setback to the Browns.dddddddddddd. Hoyer replaced Manziel but hurt his throwing shoulder during the Carolina game and did not take part in Wednesdays practice. His status for Sundays contest remains uncertain. If Hoyer cannot play, either newly signed Tyler Thigpen or undrafted rookie Connor Shaw would draw the starting assignment at quarterback. Thigpen was just signed by the Browns on Tuesday, while Shaw is currently still on the teams practice squad. Nose tackle Ishmaaily Kitchen was also put on IR Wednesday due to a leg injury, while fellow defensive lineman John Hughes was activated from injured reserve/designated to return. Hughes has been sidelined since spraining his right knee against Oakland in Week 8. The third-year pro had 10 tackles in four games (two starts) prior to the injury. ' ' ' |
