Mike Tyson Warns 50 Cent About Boxing World
50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather have already signed several high-profile boxers to TMT Promotions, including Yuriorkis Gamboa, Andre Berto, Billy Dib and Celestino Caballero.
“I wish 50 Cent the best of luck in the world with the endeavor that he’s doing, but this is something that 50 Cent has to know when you’re dealing with something like boxing and you’re dealing with human beings,” Mike Tyson said. “We calling it peddling the flesh. Even though you’re paying them, you’re still dealing and flesh.”
According to Mike Tyson, the sport of gambling is so corrupt, that he believes it should be taken over by the government.
Mike Tyson warned 50 Cent that his new company with Floyd Mayweather could also cost him his career as an entertainer.
“50 is a rap star, 50 is an entertainer, 50 is an entrepreneur,” Mike Tyson said. “He doesn’t really know the ins and outs of boxing. He probably knows what Floyd tells him, but once he gets in this arena, everyone that was ever his friend on the other side is [now] his enemy.”

Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes to face charges of fraud
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes and former Chelsea and Valencia
defender Asier del Horno are facing charges of fraud after being accused
of falsifying documents that showed they were qualified skippers.
The pair were members of more than a 100-strong group who were identified as being able to drive yachts along the Spanish coast, despite not having completed, or even taken, the necessary examinations.
Spanish newspaper Las Provincias reports that Valdes failed to explain how his identification was flagged up during the criminal investigation.
Under national laws, all motor boats that exceed four metres in length must have an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) issued, if they are to be driven.
The newspaper also reports that Del Horno, currently a free agent after being released by Levante last season, like Valdes, failed to adequately explain the situation.
Both players have been charged, but not arrested, with the investigation continuing. Valdes is due to feature for the Blaugrana against Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Two Nigerians Sentenced For $50m Bank Fraud In USA
A United States federal judge last Monday sentenced two Nigerians to
decades in prison for their roles in a $50 million bank fraud conspiracy
that authorities say spanned six states and depended on employees of
some of America’s largest banks stealing customers’ identities.
US District Judge Michael Davis sentenced the alleged ringleader, Julian Okeayaninneh, 44, of Colton, California, to 27 years in prison.
Earlier in the day, Davis sentenced Olugbenga Temidago Adeniran, 36, of New York, described as a high-level manager in the conspiracy, to 22 years in prison.
A federal jury in Minnesota convicted Okeayaninneh and Adeniran in February on multiple counts, including bank fraud conspiracy and aggravated identity theft.
So far, 27 people have either pleaded guilty or been convicted in the scheme, in which customer identities were stolen, then bought and sold, and used to create phony bank and credit card accounts, apply for loans or get cash.
Prosecutors say the conspiracy was carried out from 2006 through 2011 in Minnesota, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, New York and Texas.
Authorities said the scheme victimised more than 500 people around the world by stealing their personal and financial information. The Minnesota Financial Crimes Task Force led the investigation, dubbed Operation Starburst, which brought together investigators from local, state and federal agencies.
“Today’s sentences send a clear message to those identity thieves and fraudsters who conspire with dishonest bank employees to wreak havoc on the personal finances of innocent customers,” US Attorney for Minnesota B. Todd Jones said in a statement.
In the statement, Louis Stephens, special agent in charge of the US Secret Service in Minnesota, described the operation as “a complex criminal conspiracy with an organisational hierarchy and effectiveness much like traditional organised crime.”
After Okeayaninneh’s arrest, authorities found more than 8,000 stolen identification documents in his storage locker, including hospital records, bank records and credit reports.
US prosecutors say Adeniran used fraudulent credit cards to obtain cash from banks and buy merchandise from the Mall of America and Southdale Center.
Victims included customers of American Express, Associated Bank, Bank of America, Capital One, Guaranty Bank, JP Morgan Chase Bank, TCF Bank, US Bank, Wachovia Bank, Washington Mutual and Wells Fargo.
