Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has joined old rival, Floyd Mayweather, in dropping off the Forbes Money List for the Top 100 Athletes in 2020.

Last year, the ‘Pacman’ slipped to 92 on the annual rankings as his career began winding down. Since then, and despite beating Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman in 2019, Pacquiao doesn’t even make the compilation.

Earning $26 million last year, the Filipino Senator was unable to garner enough cash to squeeze into the Highest-Paid sports stars.

Mayweather left the honor roll in 2019 as Pacquiao’s earning power began to wane. Floyd has now only appeared on the list once in the last four years.

Despite that fact, Floyd Mayweather was named by Forbes as the Highest-Paid Athlete of the Decade on an amazing $915 million.

Back in 2015, when the pair finally faced each other at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Mayweather vs Pacquiao broke box office records.

Sales of 4.6 million Pay-Per-View’s skyrocketed the welterweight stars to numbers one and two respectively.

Mayweather came top on an unreal $300 million. For his part, Pacquiao earned $160 million thanks to the May 2 extravaganza.

Third-placed Cristiano Ronaldo was over $80 million behind Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao as the sport took center stage.

Only four boxers made the 2020 register, though, with Tyson Fury leading the way. The WBC heavyweight champion was a full ten million ahead of British rival Anthony Joshua on $57 million.

Deontay Wilder was a mere half a million behind AJ. Whilst Canelo Alvarez, who took 4th place in 2019 on $94 million, dropped to number 30 this time around.

The current pandemic and lack of live-action has hit many sportspeople hard. Earnings were down across the board as Roger Federer was one of only three to take home more than $100 million.

FORBES TOP 10:

#1 Roger Federer
#2 Cristiano Ronaldo
#3 Lionel Messi
#4 Neymar
#5 LeBron James
#6 Stephen Curry
#7 Kevin Durant
#8 Tiger Woods
#9 Kirk Cousins
#10 Carson Wentz

BOXERS:

#11 Tyson Fury – $57 million
#19 Anthony Joshua $47 million
#20 Deontay Wilder $46.5 million
#30 Canelo Alvarez $37 million


NOTABLE:

#21 Tom Brady
#25 Phil Mickelson
#29 Naomi Osaka
#32 Sebastian Vettel
#33 Serena Williams

BIAFRA REMEMBERANCE DAY:Facts you need to know

In This Photo:
Major General Yakubu Gowon at Dodan barracks, stands before a map of Nigeria as he brags to foreign journalists and reporters at a press conference that the war with Biafra would be over in 4-8 weeks.
However, things never went as planned as Gowon got the shock of his life after the galant Biafran troops brutally repelled Nigerian federal troops in their first advancement into the Biafran territory.
After several failed attempts to penetrate the walls of Biafra, Gowon abandoned his original plans which he bragged before journalists and resorted to foreign mercenaries assistance in carrying out reckless aerial bombardments targeted mainly at civilians in churches, market places, schools, hospitals and village squares.
With the help of the British government and others, Gowon successfully imposed a total blockade, cutting off Biafra's food and military supplies, and as a result, millions died of severe hunger and starvation.
The war which he (Gowon) boasted to end in 4-8 weeks lasted for 3 years (1967 - 1970).
It remains on record till date that Nigeria suffered enormous military casualties while on the side of Biafra it was mainly of civilians who died.
The war ended in "No Victor, No vanquish".

MUHAMMED ALI'S DAUGHTER SPEAKS ON THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD

I


 LAILA ALI ,Muhammed Ali daughter speak her mind on the death of GEORGE FLOYD  killed by American cop




 grew up listening to my father teach me about racism. He would say we are not free, until “we” are “all” free! If you needed to see it to believe it, now you know what’s been happening for decades. Sadly, Black parents have to teach their children that even though God created them equal, they will not be treated equal. Imagine trying to explain that to your child. We have to teach our kids how to survive and avoid being killed because of the color of their skin. I hope to see the day that ALL human beings can truly be free!
Sending prayers and blessings to the family and friends of # GeorgeFloyd and all those who have suffered and lost loved ones due to racism.

Two policemen held as teenager dies from stray bullet injuries

He said the Commissioner of Police (CP) Hakeem Odumosu has ordered indepth investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ezekwe’s death.

“The incident happened on May 26, at about 10:45pm. The said police officers fired shots from their pin down point along Berger by Third Mainland Bridge in circumstances yet to be determined.

“One Musa Yakubu, 35, was injured at the point and a stray bullet hit Tina at Berger Iyana-Oworo Bus Stop. The bullet pierced through the left upper side of her lap.

“She was rushed to hospital by a team of policemen led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO). The battle to save her life lasted for two days. She died on May 28, at about 9:29pm while on admission. The second person is in stable condition.

“The police have been in contact with the families of the victims from the day of the incident. The command deeply sympathised with the family and friends of the deceased person.

“The Commissioner of Police calls for calm and assures the family that the perpetrators of this dastardly act will face the full weight of the law. He reiterated his stance on zero tolerance for impunity. The public will be updated on the outcome of the investigation.”

The former President of the United States of America Barrack Hussein Obama has given his opinion on the murder of George Floyd by an American police man
    A look at what He said



THE GENTLE GIANT,GEORGE FLOYD. REST ON BRO


Handcuffed.
Face Down.
Knee on his neck.
They did nothing.
He called the officer "Sir."
They did nothing.
He begged for his life.
He begged for water.
He begged for mercy.
They did nothing.
His nose bled.
His body trembled.
He lost control of his bladder.
They did nothing.
He cried out, "I can't breathe."
They did nothing.
Twelve more times.
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
"I can't breathe."
They did nothing.
One last time, he gasped, "I can't breathe."
They did nothing.
He lost consciousness.
They did nothing.
A firefighter demanded they check his pulse.
They did nothing.
Off duty medical personnel begged them to stop.
They did nothing.
Deprived of oxygen.
His organs screaming.
His brain frantic.
They did nothing.
They watched George Floyd die.
His life fading.
A slow death.
They did nothing.
A lynching on the ground.
They did nothing.
For eight agonizing minutes.
Four officers watched.
He cried out for his Mom...
A grown man...
Crying out for the woman who gave him life....
As he feared joining her in death.
And still they did nothing.
A black man.
A gentle giant.
Murdered because he was black.
And still, they've done nothing.
Probable Cause exists.
A Double Standard exists.
The officers should be arrested.
And still they've done nothing.
This is the picture of George with his mother.(above)
May they both Rest In Peace
May justice be served

GEORGE FLOYD,RIP AND WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR HIM AND AN END TO RACISM


We cooperate, we die. We run, we die. We fight back, we die. We beg, we die. We lie down, we die. We put our hands up, we die. We mind our business, we die. We’re unarmed, we die. We’re detained, we die. Tell us, what the HELL are we suppose to do to keep the cops from killing us?
# BlackLivesMatters
# THUGLIFE= The hate u give little infants fucks everybody.

Will the red card stand?

Ballers, If a player scores a goal and takes off his jersey in celebration, and the referee shows him a second yellow card (which leads to a red card). Only for VAR to review the goal and rule it as offside. Will the red card stand?

RELATIONSHIP PART 3


https://goldendiamite.blogspot.com/p/relationshippart1.html?m=1
RELATIONSHIP PART 3
When relationship gets to some points, one may conclude that he or she can go to any extent to sustain it. Many have lost best friends due to relationship which they thought they needed to pay the sacrifice of losing the best friend of theirs just to make the relationship work. But often , relationship does not really go as we expect. Many who we thought could be our best comfort in difficult times due to the love between us left us alone. And find out their ways without considering how hurt and broken our hearts become.When we care about someone deeply, we experience connection and the good feelings of belonging. We expect these to go on forever, but unfortunately all of human nature is not wired this way.Most first loves do break up and some later ones as well. Friends we consider to be forever move on to others who better suit their tastes. Love suffering is one of the great mysteries of the human condition; it hits the self-esteem very hard. Love gone wrong. We never get the life nor the love we expect. And we do not deserve the emotional pain of betrayal, but it happens just the same.
Learning to deal with the excruciating feelings of being left is a greater part of being a human being.Why People Leave Relationships
People leave because they fall out of love and know the relationship is not meeting their needs. Some leave because they cannot stay any longer and be true to themselves. Some can’t tolerate the conflict, mind games and continual fights. Some betray the ones around them because they need new vistas or experiences. Some become totally absorbed in new hobbies. Some run away from tried-and-true love because they need the excitement of someone new; they aren’t mentally ready to settle down to one person. Some stay and seek out others outside the relationship because that is what they grew up with- parents who couldn’t be faithful to their partner. Give thanks that you have the ability to move on.
