Floyd Mayweather has been released from prison, and just in time, too: the poor guy was totally wasting away in there! The boxer served two months of a 90-day sentence for domestic battery and walked out of Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas yesterday. He hugged various friends and family members – including 50 Cent – on the way to his car, but did not say anything to the media. Mayweather was jailed on June 1 after pleading guilty to an incident in September 2010 where he got physical with Josie Harris , the mother of his three children. It’s unclear, boxing-wise, what the future now holds for the undefeated champion. Fans are clamoring for a Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao bout, yet there’s little reason to believe this will happen any time soon. If ever. Mayweather has spoken of retirement and he did make $85 million in fight earnings last year – but when your nickname is “Money,” you can never have enough. We’ll see him back in the ring soon.
‘We’ve been working on a song for a while now,’ he tells MTV News of Keys, while also gushing about mentor Blake Shelton. By Christina Garibaldi Jermaine Paul Photo: MTV News It’s been a week since Jermaine Paul won the second season of “The Voice,” beating out Juliet Simms to take the title for Team Blake, but the former Alicia Keys backup singer still can’t believe all that has happened to him in such a short amount of time. Paul stopped by MTV News on Monday and reflected on the moment they announced his name as the winner and how his coach, and friend, Blake Shelton was able to bring him back to reality. “I was going through a whole emotional, mental shock, and I even physically thought my legs weren’t under me, I had my hands on my head,” Paul said. “I had this crazy tingling sensations like going through my head — it’s a feeling I can’t even explain — and he brought me back to reality and grabbed me and was like, ‘You did it, man! It’s you!’ It was an amazing feeling.” Many were surprised when Paul chose Shelton to be his mentor in the beginning of the season, given that he’s an R&B artist, while Blake is a country star. But much like Shelton and fellow coach Adam Levine , Paul developed his own “bromance” with his mentor. “He’s a good guy, he’s a man’s man, he’s a what-you-see-is-what-you-get type of guy, and that’s the kind of guy I try to be,” Paul said. “That was ultimately one of the main reasons I chose him as my coach. I just felt his sincerity, the realness. He jokes around a lot, you know? When he walks in the room, he definitely has a way of lighting up the air.” Another huge supporter of Paul’s is his former boss, Alicia Keys. Paul revealed that the superstar singer was always advocating for him to begin his own solo career. “She’s always been supportive. Even while I was singing, I would tell her, ‘I want to go solo,’ and she was like, ‘What are you waiting on?’ and I would tell her, ‘I’m waiting on God to fix things out,’ and she was like, ‘Maybe God is waiting on you.’ ” Clearly, Keys’ advice has paid off for Paul, who is hoping to release a track with her on his future album. “We’ve been working on a song for a while now,” Paul said. “And, you know, what better time than now?” Are you excited for Jermaine Paul’s debut album?

Rapper tells MTV News about being at Mayweather’s match against Miguel Cotto with the Biebs and Lil Wayne. By Rob Markman 50 Cent Photo: MTV News Everyone loves a champion, and currently there is no bigger boxing champ than Floyd “Money” Mayweather. Not only did the outspoken pugilist attract a record number of pay-per-view fans for his May 5 match against Miguel Cotto , he also brought music’s brightest stars to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on fight night. Of course 50 Cent was on hand to cheer on his buddy Floyd, and Justin Bieber and made their way to the ring as well. Many fight fans were surprised to see that the Biebs had been in Mayweather’s dressing room for the fight preparations; after that, JB walked with the undefeated Floyd to the ring, helping to hold the champ’s belts. “Justin is also a Floyd fan. They love the sport. A lot of people like it and haven’t actually made contact or received anything to make them feel like it was cool or comfortable enough for them to come,” 50 said about JB’s much-discussed ring walk. “When it actually happens and it goes down like that, it feels good. When they get a chance to see different genres, different people, everybody’s excited.” One of the more excited fans was Floyd’s daughter Iyanna, who, according to 50, was fixated on the teenage idol. “Floyd’s daughter, Yaya, she saw half the fight, the other half she was looking at Bieber,” the rapper joked. “He just got that thing for the younger generation, too — he’s it.” Some were also surprised to see Lil Wayne in the ring. In the past, he and 50 haven’t been the best of friends, so many assumed that Floyd would inherit Fif’s perceived rap beefs , but that isn’t the case. In fact, Mayweather is a Weezy fan; he listens to his music constantly while training. “Floyd has a huge passion for music that people don’t know about,” 50 explained. “It’s a big part of what makes him comfortable and takes his mind off of how hard he has to work to stay being the #1 fighter in the world. With Wayne’s music momentum, he’s a part of that; he’s been a part of the playlist, so it’s cool.” After Floyd dusted off Cotto in a unanimous decision, he, Bieber, Weezy and 50 all celebrated in the ring and even posed for a few pictures. Though Fif sported his patented menacing scowl, he insists that there was no problem whatsoever. “The pictures, when I’m not paying attention, they take some really weird facial expressions of me,” he said. “I’m like, ‘What the f— was I thinking at that point?’ It’s nothing there to make me feel uncomfortable.” Should Justin Bieber join Floyd Mayweather’s Money Team?
