If you're going to learn to box, then why not be taught by the best?
Pop
star Justin Bieber has been picking up the tricks of the trade from
Floyd Mayweather Jnr who took him on the pads in his Las Vegas gym.
Bieber has long been part of Mayweather's considerable entourage and has been nicknamed 'Moneybags' by the pound-for-pound No 1.

Mayweather,
meanwhile, has revealed he is considering putting on a show in London
later this year having visited the city as part of a whistle-stop
European tour.
'I
went back to Paris before going to London, England to look at some
different venues because I'm looking to do a show out there in
December,' he told fighthype.com. 'Not me, but Mayweather Promotions.'
A video of Mayweather being accosted by a woman in a Brixton barbers went viral after she claimed not to know who he was.
'There's
a lot of people that may not know who Floyd Mayweather is,' he added.
'You must realize this, there's a difference between me and any other
athlete.
'You
have to pay extra money to see me; you can watch them for free. You can
just turn on any local cable or satellite network and see athletes, but
with me, you have to pay.'

British
speedster Amir Khan is among those hoping to get the call but
Mayweather looks unlikely to accept a fight with Manny Pacquiao.

suggested a long-awaited clash with his rival would definitely happen.
