Last weekend, Floyd Mayweather defeated Conor McGregor in a boxing match by a TKO decision that pushed his record to 50-0. Because of that, Mayweather passed Rocky Marciano’s boxing record of 49-0, which is a feat in itself. However, Mayweather’s friend 50 Cent has one more fight he feels that the retired fighter should pursue in order to break the record of Mexican fighter Richard Lopez, whose professional record shows 51 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw. Via a now-deleted Instagram post, 50 said, "You see this s*** we got Rocky Marciano record with 50-0 now they show up with this Richard Lopez record,” 50 wrote on Wednesday (August 30). “I’m gonna get Floyd to fight again, but I’m gonna need time Smh we need 1 more. TBE #50centralbet.” Despite 50’s instigating, Mayweather has made it clear the fight with McGregor was his final one. Source: hiphopdx.com

It's been years since we got a Moto X, but Lenovo hasn't forgotten about Motorola's one-time flagship. As predicted by leaks, Motorola unveiled the fourth-generation model at IFA in Berlin, and it's... definitely not the Moto X you remember. For one, it's among the few smartphones out there with built-in support for Amazon's Alexa, and it's part of an even more exclusive club of devices that just let you speak to her the way you'd speak to an Echo. Motorola confirmed that it was working on Alexa-capable devices at this year's Mobile World Congress, but we're a little surprised Amazon's assistant first wound up here instead of, say, a fancy Moto Mod. The differences don't end there, either. Remember how you could use Moto Maker to turn earlier models into devices that were uniquely yours? Well, that's over — the X4 comes in any color you want, as long as it's black or bluish-gray. While not customizable, the X4's aluminum and

Amazon has been hit with a proposed class-action lawsuit by a couple who claims defective eclipse glasses purchased through the online retailer damaged their eyes. The couple is seeking to include other customers who were similarly affected. Corey Payne and his fiancée, Kayla Harris, filed the lawsuit in federal court in South Carolina on Tuesday evening, saying they purchased a three-pack of eclipse glasses on Amazon in early August. They assumed the glasses would allow them to safely view the United States' first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in a century on Aug. 21. Later that day, however, Payne and Harris began to experience headaches and eye watering. They later developed vision impairment, including blurriness and distorted vision in the following days, according to their lawsuit. The couple said they did not look into the sky without wearing the glasses when they viewed the eclipse. Amazon, which sells items from various retailers, began to email customers starting

SanDisk has just introduced its newest microSD card and it's a 400GB one. Yep, no mistake it the numbers: this just happens to be the largest-capacity microSD card available on the market, and it comes at a hefty price, as you'd expect. The new 400GB SanDisk microSD card costs a whopping $250. Up until now, Samsung's 256GB microSD card was the biggest one available, and it is currently sold for around $150 on Amazon in the United States. In terms of transfer speeds, the new 400 gig SanDisk card can reach up to 100MB/s for file transfers and goes as SDXC UHS-I class of a card. It is rated as App Performance Class A1, a rating that signifies that the card can run apps as well. And usually this is phone makers number one concern with external cards: they are often slower than built-in memory. That is the number one reason why companies like Apple with its iPhones and Google with its Pixel phones does not include the option for an external microSD card. It could simply slow d

The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to complete the trade that will send Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics after Boston added a 2020 draft pick to the package. Initially, the blockbuster trade that saw all-star point guards swapping teams caught a snag after the Cavs had questions about Thomas' health following a mandated physical. The 2020 pick that Cavs get comes from the Heat after being sent to Boston in the Zoran Dragic salary dump in July 2015. Vladtv

Best Buy issued an apology after one of its Houston stores was caught selling cases of water for ridiculously high prices. A photo showed 12 packs of SmartWater advertised for $29.98 each, while a 24 pack of Dasani was going for $42.96. Immediately after the photo appeared online, social media accused Best Buy of taking advantage of the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey. Many people are currently struggling to find food, shelter, and water. Best Buy had this to say, "This was a big mistake on the part of a few employees at one store on Friday. As a company we are focused on helping, not hurting affected people. We're sorry and it won't happen again. Not as an excuse but as an explanation, we don't typically sell cases of water. The mistake was made when employees priced a case of water using the single-bottle price for each bottle in the case." Source: complex.com

Point guard Derrick Rose only spent one season with the New York Knicks before being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now, Rose has spoken on his time with the Knicks, saying it was both “crazy and confusing.” According to the Associated Press, Rose said, “On the court was when it was the craziest to me. Some of the strategies and all that, I didn’t understand. It was confusing. It was just a learning experience.” Previously, Rose was very critical of the triangle offense that was pushed by former team president Phil Jackson. The point guard’s older brother Reggie Rose spoke on his younger brother’s mind state throughout his last few years in the league, saying, “I’m not going to lie to you; the last two or three years, Derrick has been through a lot mentally,” said Rose's older brother, Reggie. “When you’re losing more than you’re winning, it can get difficult. So with him going to be in a winning environment again now, able to see how LeBron (James) prepares himself, the thing

2017 has been a chaotic NBA off-season, with the major free-agent acquisitions and blockbuster trades. Headlining it all was Kyrie Irving being shipped to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, two additional players, and a draft pick. Kyrie was packed and ready to leave Cleveland, but just when it seemed the deal was finalized, questions about Thomas' health sidetracked the trade. Looking to capitalize, the Milwaukee Bucks have put forth a trade including reigning rookie of the year Malcolm Brogdon and forward Khris Middleton and could potentially include future first round draft picks as well. The offer put forth by the Bucks is not nearly as good as the Celtics' offer, but it may serve as the next best option. Stay tuned for updates. Source: complex.com

Not even a day ago, Pastor Joel Osteen was under fire for not opening up his church doors to those that were affected by Hurricane Harvey. He used the excuse the church was flooded but many didn't quite believe what Osteen was saying. Now, finally, Osteen has opened up the doors to those that need shelter. "Victoria and I care deeply about our fellow Houstonians. Lakewood's doors are open and we are receiving anyone who needs shelter," Osteen tweeted on Tuesday. But this offer seemed a little too late for some including T.I. The rapper took to Instagram to say exactly how he was feeling about the situation and he didn't hold back: "This is why people (like me) don't trust the mega churches.

Conor McGregor accomplished an impressive feat last weekend and went almost 10 rounds against Floyd Mayweather before losing by TKO. His remarkable appetite for punishment has its consequences, however, as the Irish brawler was issued a two-month medical suspension by the Nevada Athletic Commission on Tuesday. McGregor has been suspended from competition until Oct. 26 and is barred from "contact" until Oct. 11. A medical suspension is reportedly standard regulatory practice in combat sports and shouldn't affect his next fight. The mixed martial artist received praise for his boxing debut, winning the first round of the bout according to all three judges and landing a total of 111 punches, reports ESPN.

Showtime is taking action to satisfy angry customers whose viewing experience was interrupted during the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor fight. The network's VP of communications, Chris DeBlasio, claims that a "very limited" number of complaints on the issue has been received and that they are each being reviewed in order to determine who will get their $99.99 back. Executives believe that a good number of viewers who placed their orders last minute may have contributed to the 10 to 20-minute delays that hindered the experience for some. Only those who are direct-to-customer purchasers of the fight will be taken into consideration for a refund. Those who saw the event through a third party site will have to reach out to their respective providers. One such provider that is said to have been plagued by delays was UFC's Fight Pass. UFC says that it is in communication with its vendor, NewLion, to establish what went wrong, and that the company will be reviewing

Amazon's Music Unlimited is getting a lot cheaper... for university students, that is. The e-commerce site is slashing 50% off its subscription fee for the music streaming service, provided that you can verify your enrollment in a degree-granting college or university. This means that eligible users will only have to pay $4.99 per month, down from the usual rate of $9.99. Students that are on Amazon Prime can get it for even cheaper - $6 for 6 months, much less than the regular Prime rate of $7.99 per month. Such a move is hardly surprising, as Music Unlimited's chief competitors Apple Music and Spotify also offer similar deals. Spotify has been enticing students with $5 monthly rates since April, while Apple has been doing it since May 2016. In any case, it's good to hear that audiophiles going through college are now spoiled for choice. AMAZON'S CHECK OUT OFFER HERE

Derrick Rose is getting a second chance...or a fifth. The once dynamic and explosive point guard has gone from NBA MVP and franchise centerpiece to a backup many have lost faith in, but the Chicago native wants everyone to know that he can still ball. Rose made $21 million last season averaging 18 PPG for the lowly New York Knicks, but he will make just $2 million after signing for the league minimum with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Eastern Conference champs, however, give Rose the chance to start anew and resume chasing what would be his first NBA title. In an interview with The Associated Press, Rose discussed his low points, dealing with numerous injuries and a civil trial over a rape allegation of which he was eventually cleared. In all, it's fueled him, and he's been working extra hard to get ready for this upcoming season. It's unclear whether Rose will be playing behind Kyrie Irving or Isaiah Thomas; he just knows that he'll be ready to prove himself. He know

Lamar Odom was living his best life with the Los Angeles Lakers. He had friends, family, stability, and was an integral part of the team's 2009 and 2010 championship wins. His life, however, was upended when the Lakers traded him to the Dallas Mavericks, he disclosed in an interview with Shams Charania for The Vertical. “That trade from the Lakers basically ended my career and purpose,” Odom told The Vertical. “I was never really myself ever again. Being in L.A., the structure, the people I knew, it hurt leaving. I had great memories with the Lakers, with Kobe and Pau. That was a special time in my life. “I got traded the season after we lost to Dallas in the playoffs, and I had won Sixth Man of the Year for the team. To trade me after winning Sixth Man of the Year…what else do I got to do? Why? “I think about it all the time, about how much I had left in the tank. I had issues going on. But barring injury, could I play in the NBA today? I could play. I should still be playing.”

Matthew Stafford became the NFL's highest paid player after agreeing to a five-year extension with the Lions that will pay him $27 million per year on average, or, $135 million over the life of his contract. It is predicted that the quarterback market will be bursting with record signings with Drew Brees and Kurt Cousins' contracts expiring after this season. Stafford and Carr's names were bound for free agency in 2018 as well, but both Detroit and Oakland forewent using the franchise tag on their young slingers and figured to pay up before likely having to offer up even bigger deals in the competitive off season to come. Prior to Stafford's $135 million tag, Carr held the record thanks to a $125 million deal he signed in June. While Stafford has long faced questions about his ability to lead a team into the post season, having yet made any post season noise, his numbers are solid without a doubt. The 29-year-old holds franchise records for completions (2,634), passin

Unfortunately, things in Houston have gotten terribly devasting due to Hurricane Harvey and the major flooding that it caused. Now done to a tropical storm, it seems that Hurricane Harvey isn't yet done and is set to deliver 20 more inches of rain. At this time, people are trying to do as much as possible by sending help, donating money and providing as many positive thoughts as possible. Including the Houston Rockets owner, Leslie Alexander. Alexander donated $4 million dollars today to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund that Mayor Sylvester Turner started. The Rockets made the following statement: "Our hearts are heavy seeing the devastation that so many of our friends, family and neighbors are experiencing." Houston Rockets point guard, Chris Paul, donated $50K to Texans' defensive end, J.J. Watt's fundraiser (see above).

Recently, Amazon announced a merger with Whole Foods Market Incorporated. According to reports, Amazon bought Whole Foods Inc. for $13.7 billion and made it clear that once the merger went through that they would be slashing the prices of goods at the supermarket by almost 43 percent. The merger is not without some cross-promotion though, as Amazon has already begun to place their products along with signage in some Whole Foods locations. On the first day, social media users who entered Whole Foods posted photos of signage that said “Pick Of The Season” on it. But instead of fruit or vegetables being on the sign, Amazon’s Echo was placed on it. One photo finds a picture of the Amazon Echo and Amazon Echo Dot with their prices slashed right next to a bale of peaches. Another photo features the devices directly in the window of a Whole Foods location. Source: twitter.com

Houston, Texas was recently hit by Hurricane Harvey, a storm that hit the Texas Gulf Coast this past Friday night. The storm has left five people dead so far, and numerous injuries have been reported. Rescue efforts have been moving forward for those in the disaster area, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency, aka FEMA, has noted that a full recovery from Hurricane Harvey will take years. The administrator for FEMA, Brock Long, told press “FEMA is going to be there for years, sir. This disaster recovery — this disaster is going to be a landmark event.” He went on to say “We’re already pushing forward recovery housing teams. We’re already pushing forward forces to be on the ground to implement National Flood Insurance Program policies as well, and doing the inspections that we need. So, we’re setting up and gearing up for the next couple of years.” For those unaware, Long was a manager at FEMA when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Many are worried about FEMA’s response to the

McGregor stated that he felt the referee stopped the fight too early, and he should have been allowed to keep fighting. Mayweather walked away roughly $100 million from the fight, while McGregor earned an estimated $30 million. Mayweather's lifetime earnings are roughly $1 billion

In the lead up to the new chapter in her life, she sat down with the Dan Patrick Show to talk about her career and with that came inquiry into her politics, which have served as an asset to her among some viewers, and a deterrent for others. Her stance on Colin Kaepernick has been an unpopular one among African Americans, and despite growing support for the former 49ers quarterback having inspired a different tone from such former critics as Stephen A.

Verizon introduced its original Unlimited plans back in February, and it was a plan with simple and straightforward conditions, but these new plans bring us back to more complicated rules, fine print details and caveats. These plans give you the best unlimited choices, but you also get what only Verizon can give you: the best network, the best rewards program, the best way to manage your plan with the My Verizon app and the best selection of phones and devices,” the company wrote in its press release. However, contrary to the unlimited choice that it promises, Verizon has limited video streaming to only 480p on its Go Unlimited plan. The new plans will be effective nearly right away, starting on August 23rd. Customers that are currently signed up for a p

Ideally, it will be with his last team, the Milwaukee Bucks. "I want to go back to what I left [in Milwaukee]," the 29-year-old told The Crossover.

Earlier this year, Kyrie requested a trade from Cleveland so that he could be the focal point on a team and not in the shadows of LeBron James.

If you're a long-time smartphone user, there's a pretty good chance that you've experienced the "pleasures" of getting a cracked touchscreen. It happens to the best of us - after all, phone displays are made out of glass, a material that tends to shatter when dropped, even if it carries the "Gorilla" branding. After such an incident occurs, some learn to peacefully coexist with the spider web pattern on their display (if it remains functional), others just go out and buy a new handset, while quite a few people also choose to stop by a repair shop and get a replacement screen installed. Going for this third option might seem as a sensible thing to do, but it turns out that it might completely compromise the security of your phone.

Since then, the rapper tried to leave the court’s jurisdiction without permission. Along with that, he was drug tested and tested positive for narcotics in his system. Following that, DMX’s lawyer asked a judge via a letter for permission to temporarily be off of house arrest to perform at shows in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and Atlanta. DMX’s probation officer did not think the request was smart, but the judge granted the request for the rapper.

Along with having a “coach” with him all day, DMX must pay for the coach with his own money.

If you didn't know, Best Buy is running a promotion on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, but customers can also get some of Apple's iPads for much better prices. But if you can't afford the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, even if they're discounted, here is another deal on an older iPhone model that might fit your budget. The iPhone 6 is on sale for a limited time at Best Buy where customers can get it for just $199.99. Since the iPhone 6 usually sells for around $300, you'll be saving $100 when you buy the iPhone 6 via Best Buy.

If you decide to go for Best Buy's deal, you might want to check our out full iPhone 6 review for more in-depth details about Apple's smartphone. Phonearea

You might have thought that Lady Luck was on your side on Friday when consumers had a brief window of opportunity on Amazon's web site allowing them to order the Amazon Echo Dot for free. This is the version of the Echo that resembles an overgrown hockey puck. Normally priced at $49.99, a "technical error" took the price down to $0 for a very short period of time.

The so-called "technical error" had to do with a promotion for audiobook service Audible that was accidentally applied to the Echo Dot. Amazon owns Audible, so it is possible that some cross-promotion between the Amazon Echo Dot and Audible is being prepped. Does that mean that the lucky ones who managed to snag an Echo Dot for free will get to keep the smart speaker that they "purchased?" In a word, the answer is no. Now we do have to tell

As the NBA season was nearing its end the one name running neck and neck with Russell Westbrook as the favorite for the league's Most Valuable Player award was James Harden. Most sports writers gravitated towards Westbrook, despite Harden's phenomenal run, as did most players, but there were quite a few notables who shockingly voiced their liking for Harden to win it in 2017, as did 2016 MVP Steph Curry. To Westbrook's good fortune, those haters proved to be the minority this week. On Friday, August 18, the NBA announced the winners of its third annual Players Voice Awards. What set's the PVA's apart from the official performance awards is that writers and fans don't get to vote. The Players Voice Awards are completely determined by input provided by the nominees' peers of the NBPA [National Basketball Players Association]. Westbrook's 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists proved to be enough to win him the highest honor on the ballot. His fellow
