There is always some type of shady activity going on behind the scenes in the boxing world, which is why outside of Floyd Mayweather, the sport is fading. Andre Ward, who is ranked #2 pound for pound boxer in the world behind Floyd is saying a grimey promoter tried to ruin him and cheated him out of millions of dollars.

You better have Xzibit’s conditions up to par when you book him for a show…or you MIGHT just get a steel chair in your face! A promoter found that out the hard way last night during a concert in Adelaide, Australia, when apparently X to the Z experienced a horrible car ride from the airport to the hotel, and to add insult to injury, had no car at ALL to take him to the venue and was forced to take a cab after he couldn’t get the promoter on the phone.

Mike Tyson is usually the one in the middle of chaos, not the one trying to keep the peace.

I am happy to see Tyson on the come up and doing good after all the negative years in his life. Hit the jump for the video.
