Happy Birthday, Champ: Floyd “Money” Mayweather hit Las Vegas over the weekend to celebrate his 43rd birthday by sporting a custom-made leather bomber jacket designed and created by Wooter Apparel.
Anytime the lights shine bright on a boxing ring around Las Vegas for a marquee fight you can probably expect Floyd “Money” Mayweather’s name to somehow be associated. While the news out of the MGM Grand Garden Arena centered on Deontay Wilder suffering the first defeat of his career and relinquishing his WBC heavyweight belt after a seventh round TKO against Tyson Fury, Mayweather was occupied with a little celebrating of his own by holding a birthday bash as the legendary boxing champion turned 43-years old (on Monday, February 24th). Partying at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood, California before hitting Drai’s Nightclub in Las Vegas, “Money” looked fresh donning his custom-made red, white, and blue leather bomber jacket from Wooter Apparel complete with Floyd’s 50-0 boxing record. Mayweather received the customized jacket at the recent Boom Cups Celebrity and Charity basketball game in Miami during Super Bowl Weekend and proved to be the gift that keeps on giving.

MERCY MILLER STAYS ON THE RISE AS PLAYER TO WATCH AT MINNEHAHA ACADEMY
You can always count on two things when it comes to Miller Gang — they are all about putting family first as a lasting Master P mantra, and they know how to take care of business on the basketball court. That’s certainly become the case for both Junior Hercy Miller and 8th grader Mercy Miller, who are part of a powerhouse program at Minnehaha Academy in Minnesota after transferring from Oaks Christian in California. With older brother Hercy receiving college offers from the likes of Mizzou playing alongside hoop studs like Chet Holmgren and Jalen Suggs, Mercy has used his time on the JV squad to compile a highlight reel season thus far. Besides those red Minnehaha Redhawks uniforms from Wooter Apparel looking hot, Mercy Miller has been fire on the court and remains a player to watch on the rise.
