    • Bernard Hopkins has gotten testy and even violent at boxing press events before. BHop is an old-school fighter when it comes to selling a fight, he's admitted he'll go the extra distance to add some heat. This time it was different.

      Hopkins wasn't under control and Pascal really got under his skin when he start screaming for the future Hall of Famer to take drug test to prove he's clean.

      "He ambushed the whole press conference as far as talking about the fight. He was accusing me of my last fight that I shouldn't have been as good, as fast, as strong, and I competed," Hopkins told WFAN in New York. "Whatever he was thinking he was desperate and he started saying 'take a test, take a blood test, take this, take that.'"

      Hopkins was really irked when Pascal tried to connect the dots between he and Shane Mosley.

      "Then he started bringing up that I was a friend of Nazim Richardson, who has been my trainer for years, and Nazim Richardson trains Sugar Shane Mosley and we know Sugar Shane

    • Floyd Mayweather is dealing with legal woes and apparently embarking on a career as a professional sports gambler, so we're no closer to to seeing him step in the ring against Manny Pacquiao.

      Mayweather appeared on the Afternoon Saloon radio show on ESPN1000 in Chicago to talk about some recent sports betting tickets he posted on Twitter. The "Pac-Man" fight came up and Mayweather said he can't figure out why so many Americans are Manny fans.

      "The thing is this I'm an American citizen and I represent this country with the red, white, and blue. The only thing I want is the people in my country to stand behind me. I'm in my own country and I have a lot of people against me," Mayweather said (6:10 mark). "Our country is a great country, it's a clean country, and all I ask him to do is take the test, that's it. He takes the test and we got a fight."

      At the end of the Mayweather again expressed his frustrations with Americans who side with Pacquiao (8:40 mark).

      Most folks around baseball think Jose Canseco is shady. He's starting to develop the same reputation in the fight world.

      The former MLB star was paid $5,000 before a celebrity boxing match in Florida, no-showed and then sent his twin brother Ozzie to fill-in.

      Canseco was caught because of some strange texts to the promoter and some observant fans, who noticed Ozzie didn't have tattooed arms like Jose.

      "A bait-and-switch,'' promoter Damon Feldman told the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. "I'm disgusted."

      The first signs of a problem emerged Thursday night on Jose's Twitter account.

      At the event, Feldman grew suspicious when Ozzie kept asking for the rest of his pay before the fight.

      "The guy I thought was Jose kept asking me to pay him in cash before [the fight],'' Feldman said. "I told him I had to pay him by check for business reasons. He said he needed cash. We went back and forth."

      There was also a strange text that should've been the giveaway.{ysp:more}

    • Mike Tyson is watching Charlie Sheen's roller coaster ride from afar, but he feels like he can relate to what the wayward actor is going through.

      Joining the fellas at ESPN1100 in Las Vegas this week (video - NSFW), Tyson was asked about Sheen, his drug tests and recent behavior (2:03 mark).

      "I don't know what's happening to Charlie.  If he's passing the tests everyone's giving him. He is acting a little bit strange, I like to be on the show too, but I believe that's my dark side thing.  We're going to get it together Charlie. I don't know where he's at. But this is where I've been, I don't know if he's there — I've been a damn fool, I've been on drugs and embarrassed myself and other people too of course, and I thought I was awesome," Tyson said. "That's where I've been, so I don't know. I've been in places where I wish I could move under a rock and not look at myself no more. So I don't know, but Charlie doesn't seem to feel that way yet."

    • PacmanTwitterBoxing's pound-for-pound champ is tough as nails in the ring, but he wilted in the toughest arena in the world -- the Internet.

      Congressman Manny Pacquiao's affair with social media was a short one. After dealing with a fake account that sprouted up in January, "Pac-Man" decided to try Twitter with a real account in late February.

      Pacquiao quickly found out there's no buffer on Twitter. His  problems began a few days ago as he watched a Filipino Congressional impeachment hearing from afar. Training for his fight with Shane Mosley in May, Pacquiao tried to ease concerns about his absence from Congress during the major vote. From GMA News:

      "I vote NO! and I can give my explanation thanks," he [tweeted] emphatically just a few minutes before midnight [on Mar. 21].

      That unleashed a hail of criticism from followers, who wondered why Pacquiao wasn't fulfulling his political duties.

      "to hell with @congmp. Why the [expletive] did you run for congress when you know you'd barely be present?"
