Mayweather challenges Kobe to 1-on-1 for $1 million

Floyd Mayweather has dropped his next money challenge, and he's going after the Black Mamba.

Mayweather took to Kobe Bryant's latest Instagram post and challenged the retired NBA star in the comments to a one-on-one contest with $1 million on the line:
For those with doubts, that is Mayweather's official account:

No word yet on whether this one will be available on pay-per-view.

Was the condition that Kobe had to shoot left handed and only from 3?

Or is he just paying Kobe to play pickup ball?

Kobe will be too OP left handed. Chicken-(bleep) Mayweather will demand Kobe only use a pinky on each hand and has to hop one-legged before Mayweather will play him. Preferable if Kobe's Achilles is still not fully healed.

No way MoneyMay thinks he can beat the Mamba 1 on 1. I'm thinking this will be a paid event. If so PBF will make a grip. Wonder what the rules will be, if it happens? Money has to be given the McGregor edge.

Worth about 400 million dollars.

PBF knows how to keep his name in the headlines. He'll find a way to use his name fame to cash in.

pay 1 million. generate maybe 10-20 million or more or whatever in ppv. sounds like a good smart business deal in the world of suckers that we currently live in.


doubt kobe goes for it though. he'll see right through the scam and unlike floyd, cares about the fans.

Like him or not Floyd is very adroit at using what he has to fill his coffers.

Here's a man who didn't graduate high school. His father was a cocaine dealer who coached him from prison, his mother a addict. We are products of our environments.

Because of from where he came to where he is I congratulate him.

Not sure what the 1 on 1 competition would be but I can definitely eliminate reading and spelling from the list.

Unless he's boxing or fighting in the UFC, I don't think there will be any interest in him participating in extra curricular activities.

No environment excuses the beating of women.

Quite a few and scholastic education has little to do with it. Same deal with professional athletes. The short explanation is just because they made a million in a year it doesn't mean they should spend like they make a million a year.

My point is, Floyd may be illiterate but not stupid. Some are down on him and rightfully so, because of his personality. His rearing gives me place to apply reason for his behavior.

But this is about Floyd vs Kobe. As usual there is a LG diversion.

I am a Money Mayweather fan...think he is clearly one of the greatest to ever put on the gloves....but these continued desperate attempts at remaining relevant or in the spotlight is beginning to seem pathetic.
