The world's best boxer:  announced his next opponent (Robert Guerrero), announced a new TV deal which could be worth over $250 million, then visited Ottawa Hills High School in Grand Rapids to play a little basketball.

Mayweather's Las Vegas mansion has helped to keep us informed and entertained via Twitter.

Gevor was disqualified for his illegal move, which didn't sit well the Armenian-German, who tracked Küchler down in the corner of the ring after the match was declared and began throwing punches at the referee.

As you can see from the the video below, this excites the crowd. Although we'd like to think they're cheering because the security guards were so quick to pounce on Gevor, not because he was wailing on the ref.
