I blame Floyd Mayweather for this. Not the thief.

Who keeps a $7 million worth of jewelry in their house that isn’t locked up in a vault the size of Texas! If I was hurting for money in today’s economy, I’d entertain the idea of pick-pocketing the boxer too. Actually scratch that, I’m more of a car guy. Anyways, apparently he had the jewelry just laying around the house August 17th between the night hours and seven and nine.

Although it is a shame for losing that much money in jewelry, I’m still trying to comprehend what man needs to invest that much money in jewelry. Is he trying to become the Liberachi of boxing?

Anyways, so you’d think that the thief came in like Ocean’s Eleven with an intricate system of tunnels and gadgets? Oh no my friend. All this man needed was a hooded sweatshirt and an open window.

But then it became so clear once I read the Top 30 Villians in Sports Movies on Rivalfish.com.

It’s Ivan Drago from Rocky IV!

Coincidence? I think not!

In another twist, his opponent in that fight, Danny Batcheldrin, was suspended as well for the same infraction.

I don’t feel sorry for either of the boxers, but I do feel for the fans who didn’t get to see a knockout.

For guys that are juicing, they sure don’t look or play the part.

Toney won the fight with a split decision and they both face up to a year suspension.
