To study

On a more serious note the lectures will go something like "You work hard, you a winner. I came to Vegas with nuttin', now I'm a multi-millionaire. My daddy taught me everything, except what my uncles taught me. But I taught myself everything. Ho's be trippin'. I have 90 cars and can't decide which one to drive. Why am I in a country named after the world's largest mammal? I respect Amir Khan. Imma beat his ass. I'm the greatest fighter of all time, even though I didn't fight my biggest rival. I spend enough money on baseball caps to feed all the starving people in Africa. Bob Arum tried to make me a slave. Did I mention my cars?"

Yes, to study. He needs a plan B for after boxing. Catering, maybe? Fastest hands in the world of the commie chef.

Not sure of purpose of visit, but chance to see him in UK is great. Especially as post boxing he'll prob do something stupid that'll prohibit him from visiting uk again - a--la Tyson

Darts?

An Irish mate of mine thinks Phil Taylor is the greatest athlete of all time (seriously ).

Floyd thinks HE is the greatest of all time.

Head to head it is then. Three rounds in the ring then first one to a 180.

[Wales]

Hate Phil Taylor, so id pay to see that. Best "athlete" (presume he means sportsman) of all time based on what? Winning multiple world titles in a sport only us and one or two other nations play! Like Baseball "the world series" in america. Only they play it! Basketball in the olympics !!

No idea what link is to these 2 universities but i "know" tickets will go on sale, so presumably some sort of talk? But why do that with his money? Also, ill bet the 2 unis will look to cash in and charge over the top.

[Wales]

Basketball, a prime example of inequality in sport - basically if youre under 6ft at 12yrs old theres no point even contemplating starting.

I live in the US (originally from London) & constantly mock my Yanks mates about the whole "Whole Champions" thing.

But in their defence the World Series of Baseball started when it was sponsored by an old New York newspaper named "The World".

But yes, any American who actually believes a US team is a 'world' champion because they won a US title is a knob and deserves to be mocked. Which I do. A lot.

Saying that, they call the President of the USA the 'Leader of the Free World"

Plus its just big boys rounders. We all tried rounders in primary school then sacked it off.

The term "football" annoys me too, for obvs reasons. Doesnt make sense when they (almost) never use the foot.

Hey ho, their good points outweigh the bad.

Hate term "football" too - never use feet in the damned game (1% of the time)

Hey-ho. From UK perspective their good points outweigh the bad!

Mate, you have no idea how upset Yanks get because we call football football

As far as I am concerned there are five versions of football. Proper football, Rugby football then the three regional versions - American, Aussie & Irish.

[Wales]

I catch myself calling it "soccer" when im over in america. Thats gut wrenching!

If I like the person I'll say soccer. If I'm up for a row I'll say football and go for it. It's fun. There's no argument they can use to win.

I think the purpose of his trip to Europe has something to do with his business investments - according to an interview with Ellerbe recently. However these University visits must be just an add on. Strange that he would visit those two in particular.

I was at the Peacock when he visited in 2009 to publicise the Marquez fight. It was Mayhem but I did manage a brief chat with Roger Mayweather.

[hurlock]

Stay humble my sheepaz!! Now let me make it rain, if you wanna hundred dollar bill put yo hand up!!
Yeah let me see some titties!!!shake dat ass!! Mmmm tap dat!!

& get a entourage of atleast 20 people to remind yo ass how you got where you are...HARD WORK!!!!

[mickey1975]

He's doing loads of dinners at up to £300 a ticket.

[forcefraser]

Will he be mentioning himself in the third person?

I imagine a conversation between himself and Ricky hatton would be a confusing broth of planets, third persons and tickling contests

[sweetscience]

he is at the Reebok stadium its £200 per ticket

i imagine if Khan fight doesnt happen he will scrap it

"TBE the best ever TBE TBE TBE"

[Parson Cross]

He's here 8 June primarily to launch his clothing range but whilst here he's doing dinners in Leeds and London.
There is then a tour planned starting mid June but a lot of people are jumping the gun because its not confirmed yet.

[Final round]

From Twitter .100 standing, 250 for a sit down meal and 500 for sit down meal and a photo

Is that that clothing range all them TMT t-shirts that him and his cling on types never take off?

I reckon he's probably a nice guy. A talk with him is something that I would go to - tho like his little public workout in London a year or 2 back, it would be like flies round sh*t. Too crowded.
All this best ever talk is OTT for me tho. Sure he's good, highly competent and gets results for for all his flaws, I take Muhammad Ali anyday, thankyou please.

The Leeds one you're probably on about has already been cancelled...

[Parson Cross]

I'm sure Alba.
Advertising and actually happening are a bit like Wazza bills.
I genuinely hope it does come off but personally I wouldn't buy a ticket until the Money Man confirms it.
The only date that is nailed on as far as I'm concerned is 8/6 Leeds.
If it does come off by the way add Leicester 18/6.
Final Round - whose twitter account is that from, and at which location ?

Mickey is right 21/6 Leeds already pulled.
