LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather Jr. lives in what he calls his Big Boy house, a $9.5 million golf course mansion he likes to show off whenever HBO trots out its "24/7" show to promote his fights.

If you've ever spent $59.95 for one of those fights, you helped pay for it. Nothing wrong with that, though it's not likely to get you an invitation to the pool parties out back that always seem to get the neighbors talking.

But now it's time for Mayweather to leave the pool and head for the gym. Time to drop all the excuses and stop all the procrastinating.
