Boxer Manny Pacquiao recently defeated Miguel Cotto in a brutal 12 round match this past Saturday at the MGM Grand Hotel for the WBO welterweight title. The winner, Manny, will now face off reigning and undefeated champ, Floyd Joy Mayweather. Jr (who has a flawless record of 40-0).

Here's a clip of Floyd 'Pretty Boy' Mayweather giving his opinion on the Pacquiao's recent match with Miguel Cotto, his thoughts on how the sport of boxing perceives him and more.

In the past, Mayweather has been criticize by boxing insiders and fans of the sport for not taking on worthy of opponents. If that's the case, Floyd (who is often referred to as Pretty Boy and Money Mayweather) can't do much running now. Both Pacquiao and Mayweather will box-off in the ring in 2010.

Serena Williams, Tennis Superstar & Common's super boo, is currently featured on ESPN The Magazine "Body Issue", due to hit stands this Friday, October 9th. She looks fierce!!!

The "Body Issue" also features over 30 popular sports figures. Which include Dwight Howard (aka Superman), Manny Pacquiao and NFL players Casey Hampton and Torry Holt... amongst others. For more info, pep USA Today.

It's hard to believe that early in Michael Jordan's career, the basketball great was cornered by German-based footwear & apparel performance brand, adidas. In the video, below, the former NBA player says that Nike gave him a deal that was to good to refuse. Jordan also admits that while in college he wore Converse sneakers (side note: The North Carolina Tar Heels were sponsored by Converse), and never wore Nike until he inked a Nike contract. Along with the sportswear leader, Nike, Jordan has been a major spokesperson for Gatorade, Ball Park Franks, McDonalds, Hanes, Wheaties, Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, Rayovac, Wheaties, and MCI. 

Today, the Nike Jordan brand is one of the most in demand in the country. It's also been a athletic sponsor for college sports programs such as Cincinnati, St. John's, Gerogetown, and Michael Jordan's old school North Carolina. The brand also endorses players from all sports realms, including Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets), Carmelo Anthony (Denver Nuggets), Terrel Owens (Buffalo Bills), Derek Jeter (New York Yankees), and several others. 

Who knows what would have happen if Michael Jordan would have signed a sneaker contract with adidas. Would sneaker heads camp out for a 3-stripped branded Jordan shoe? The world would never know. But, we do know that the Air Jordan Jumpman Logo and Nike Swoosh is internationally synonymous with MJ.

Here's a old school commercial for Nike Air Jordan, staring Michael Jordan (as himself) and Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon.
