3 Of Floyd Mayweather's Luxury Cars Valued At $1,000,000 Burned In Transport Fire


Floyd Mayweather and Andre Berto

The richest boxer in the world, Floyd Mayweather, has lost three of his luxury vehicles, valued at approximately $1,000,000. The cars were being transported from Mayweather's main house in Las Vegas, Nevada to his second property in Miami, Florida, when a fire broke out in Phoenix, Arizona. Mayweather has insurance, so it will cover it.

Mayweather's fights and associated tie-ins have grossed $800,000,000. If Mayweather returned to the ring from retirement, he could be the first boxer to hit billionaire status, which would be quite an accomplishment, considering how difficult a sport boxing is and the amount of work it takes to make it to the top of the field.

Side Bar: my personal theory is that Andre Berto did it cause Floyd beat him in their fight LOL (I'm totally kidding).

Side Bar 2: my good friend, who has been a chef for many years, baked a beautiful cake that was served at a private party Mayweather hosted in Miami recently (Congrats, girl!). She is the best baker I know. She's made cakes with designer purses, footballs, flowers...she even did a cake one time with a 3D Disney World on top that was unreal.

Floyd Mayweather Paying His Chef $1,000 Per Plate For Every Meal Until Manny Pacquiao Fight


Floyd Mayweather and Chef Q

The world's highest earning boxer, Floyd "Money May" Mayweather, is paying his personal chef $1,000 per plate in the lead up to his highly anticipated fight against Filipino star, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. That's $184,000 for 46 days work. Chef Q, born Quiana Jeffries, has been flown in from North Hollywood, California to Mayweather's residence in Las Vegas, Nevada to exclusively cook for him until his May 2, 2015 bout against Pacquiao.

Chef Q, who is on call 24-hours a day stated, "My daily schedule for Floyd is ‘There is no schedule’...I am here for him anytime. 24 hours, 7 days a week. If he needs me at 3 am, I am there cooking up breakfast. Also, we are really big on juicing right now...So if Floyd wants something to drink, it’s juiced through organic fruits." Mayweather was known to drop $10,000 per month at his favorite sushi restaurant in Las Vegas.

Floyd Mayweather Is Paying This Chef $1000 Per Plate Until His Pacquiao Fight

Food News 3/17/2015 - Floyd Mayweather is not someone you should learn to budget from. Of course, if your nickname was “Money” too, things might be different. There are probably few other more expensive ways to prepare for a fight than by hiring a private, on-call 24/7 chef to prepare healthy $1,000 meals for you.

Mayweather hired California-born Chef Q, real name Quiana Jeffries, who served as executive chef at Soul Dog in North Hollywood, California and is also affiliated with caterer Chefism. But until the May 2 Pacquiao/Mayweather fight, she is “The Chef that’s Beastin in Floyd Mayweather’s Kitchen,” according to her Instagram.   

Chef Q told TMZ Sports that she doesn’t even normally charge $1,000 a plate, but Mayweather “felt my dishes were worth that much.” Chef Q is cooking up an estimated four meals a day for 46 days until the fight, so she’ll be raking in about $184,000 in total. “He’s always been mindful of what he eats but there is something different about this fight.”...

Public Protests On Behalf Of 90-Year-Old Florida Man Arrested Three Times For Feeding The Homeless


Arnold Abbott

90-year-old chef, World War II veteran and civil rights activist, Arnold Abbott, who has been feeding the homeless for many years, has become the victim of a new ordinance in the South Florida city of Fort Lauderdale, which neighbors Miami. People in Fort Lauderdale are no longer allowed to feed the homeless in public places. It must be done in a building sanctioned by the city.

For many years, Abbott, a Christian, has been feeding the homeless hearty meals he cooks, even ordering them pizza from restaurants. He also runs a culinary school teaching the homeless how to cook and find jobs. Many have spoken up in favor of Albert. Even the police look embarrassed to cite Abbott and two local preachers who are helping his effort. However, police are acting on the orders of local lawmakers. Each citation carries a fine of $500 and up to two months in jail. Abbott successfully fought a similar ban in 1999. Protests have been held in support of Abbott.

If Arnold is jailed on one of these citations, the Judiciary Report will start an online campaign on this site, encouraging the public to vote out every single lawmaker responsible for the ordinance. Each lawmaker responsible for the ordinance will be listed by name on this site in the lead up to the local elections, with the request the public vote for your rival (and if I do the online campaign right, you guys will be homeless and need Arnold's food *tongue in cheek statement*).

In all seriousness, being homeless is a terrible thing for many. Do not penalize the people trying to help the homeless. It's cruel. There are so many problems plaguing society. Picking on and arresting a 90-year-old man, who has been feeding the homeless for decades, is wrong and should not be a priority. That's not what you were elected to do and the people of South Florida and many more all over the country are not with you in targeting him, wasting taxpayer money.

Stephon Marbury Facing Foreclosure On Million Dollar Condo After Paying Off Mistress


Tasha and Stephon Marbury

In 2012 former NBA basketball player Stephon Marbury, lost his Los Angeles mansion to foreclosure. One year later it is happening again. Marbury is facing foreclosure on his million dollar New York City condo. This is ironic, as he probably now regrets paying off his former private chef, to keep quiet about the details of their extramarital affair. He could have used that money to pay off the mortgage on his condo.

His wife, Tasha Marbury, is featured on this season's "Basketball Wives" reality show, where she briefly answered questions about his hurtful affair. Tasha confirmed it to her fellow reality stars, who looked a bit stunned and saddened. At the end of the day no one deserves a payoff for damaging someone's marriage.

It was a betrayal of his wife's trust for the chef to be in her home, collecting a paycheck and fooling around with her husband. Stephon's wife has stuck by him, yet the chef has abandoned him, even taking him to court for money she was not morally entitled to in any fashion. Now he sees who truly loves him.

Well-known British chef, Nigella Lawson, 53, famous for her television cookery shows and line of books on cuisine, was publicly choked by her husband, Charles Saatchi, 70, in one of the couple's favorite Mayfair restaurants, Scotts, located in London, England.

Shortly after, Saatchi began choking Lawson, who erupted in tears at his shocking conduct. He repeatedly put his fingers around her neck and squeezed, causing her visible discomfort. Police are investigating the incident as one of domestic violence. Lawson, the mother of three minors, was later seen leaving the couple's multi-million dollar Chelsea home in London, carrying suitcases. Saatchi, a wealthy gallery owner, is known for likening himself to the devil in promotional items regarding his work. Now he's behaving like him as well, via attacking his wife in what onlookers indicate was an unprovoked incident.

Blame Being Shifted From Conrad Murray In The Michael Jackson Manslaughter Trial


Conrad Murray

Blame is being shifted from Dr. Conrad Murray in the manslaughter death of the late pop star, Michael Jackson, to members of the singer's staff. The defense in the criminal trial is wrongly trying to blame Jackson's bodyguard, Alberto Alvarez and his personal chef, Kai Chase, for not calling 911 fast enough, claiming the doctor told both of them to do so.

Another perplexing item is Murray instructing the chef to get Jackson's preteen son Prince for help when the singer was unresponsive from a pharmaceutical drug overdose the doctor unethically administered. None of these individuals are trained medical professionals. What were they going to do during this tragedy that Murray could not as a doctor.

Murray needs to man up and accept the blame in the case, because if he did not supply the Propofol in the incorrect medical setting (meant for hospital use with a nurse and anesthesiologist present) Jackson would not have died in that bedroom from intoxication and cardiac arrest.
