Boxing: Damn, Middleweight Champ Andre Ward Being Sued For $10 Million!

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.

(Video) Caught On Tape: Xzibit EXPLODES On Promoter Backstage…Throws A Chair At His Face!

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. He was in Minnesota to promote his boxing event “Friday Night Fights” when the two boxers involved started shoving each other and trying to attack each other on stage. Tyson was having none of that and pretty easily separated the two. Not sure how much damage they would of done cause both guys look 100 pounds soaking wet. 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.
