Roger Mayweather talking that talk
By Chris Robinson
While he will never be confused for a diehard Manny Pacquiao fan, veteran trainer and former two-division world champion Roger Mayweather has seemed to gain a little bit of respect for the Filipino icon in recent times.
Pacquiao is fresh off of a 12-round blitzing of gritty but outmatched Chris Algieri in Macau, China this past weekend and Roger feels that the eight-division champion from General Santos City is ready for a crack at the man regarded as the best fighter in the world, his nephew Floyd.

There is a new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Las Vegas
By Chris Robinosn
The beautiful thing about Las Vegas is that this is truly a city that embraces change.
Tourists all over the world may flock to this destination, but you can actually take loads of inspiration from several residents in the area who are making moves of their own.
During a recent visit to the North side of town, we crossed paths with John Schouten, who recently opened up a new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. And while the chain may already be world renown, Schouten’s down-to-earth, homely approach with how he is operating his new facility is what is so engaging.
But don’t take our word for it. Please check out the new Dickey’s location at 6584 North Decatur Boulevard (702.655.0027) and keep up with the latest news on their chain on FACEBOOK.
Stay tuned for more updates.
