Floyd Mayweather Jr., the world's top pound-for-pound boxer, said Tuesday
that he and some other investors would be seriously interested in buying the
embattled Los Angeles Clippers from Donald Sterling, who was banned for life
by the NBA for racist comments and may soon be forced to sell the franchise
by NBA owners.
"I can't come in here talking about Mayweather only going to get 3% or 4%,"
Mayweather, a huge Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers fan, said at the MGM
Grand. "I got to get a solid percentage.
"But do we want to buy the Clippers? Yes we do. We're very, very interested
in buying the Clippers."
Asked if he would then move the Clippers to Las Vegas, Mayweather said, "No,
we'll leave the Clippers right where they're at. Actually when I'm not
boxing, I'm at the games all the time anyway, because I can walk to the games
(from his Los Angeles home)."
The undefeated fighter, who faces Marcos Maidana on Saturday in a Showtime
pay-per-view event reiterated, "Me and my team want to buy the Clippers. And
we can afford the Clippers."
Mayweather said the worst part of buying an NBA franchise is that he would
have to stop betting.
He also defended Sterling, whose racist comments were documented in an audio
released over the weekend and ultimately led to his ban and a $2.5 million
fine from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
"I don't have nothing negative to say about the guy," Mayweather said. "He's
always treated me with the utmost respect, he has always invited me to games,
always. And he always says, 'Floyd, I want you to sit right next to me and my
wife.' "
重點就是:
全世界最有錢的運動員Floyd Mayweather Jr.想要買快艇 (包含他身邊其他投資者)
他想買,他也買得起
會不會將快艇遷移到Las Vegas?Mayweather說不會
Mayweather說買一支NBA球隊的最糟糕的地方是
他不得不停止下注賭球 (他非常愛賭運動賽事)
Sterling一直很尊重他,也有邀請他去看比賽,所以對他也沒啥好評論的
