Mayweather Orders First Kode57 Super Car For $2.5M
Third Arena Football Super Bowl
Ken Okuyama's bold Kode57 supercar may have only just debuted in Monterey but it's already been confirmed that retired boxer Floyd May- weather has placed an order for the car.
The man who sells May- weather all of his cars, Obi Okeke, claims he has been
and that Mayweather has been the first to splash down the reported $2.5 million price tag.
Looking suspiciously like the Ferrari Rossa, the Kode57 has been inspired by racing cars from the 1950's and 60's, par- ticularly the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and Jaguar XKSS.
When you talk about defen- sive stars from past University of South Florida football teams, George Selvie and Jason Pierre-Paul quickly come to mind.
As defensive ends, they owed a lot of their success to a powerful defensive line, and on that line was Richard Cle- bert.
With a lot of his time being spent with his family and a great job, Clebert has found the time to be a constant in the Arena Bowl League, and this Friday at 7 p.m., he will be playing his final Arena League game in their Super Bowl that will be held in Arizona, featur- ing the Arizona Rattlers

Usain Bolt Will Cash A Massive Paycheck In 2016
The 29-year-old Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt, took home $32.5 million over the calendar year leading up to the 2016 Summer Olympics, and he stands to make even more in the coming year after Rio de Janeiro.
Bolt ranked No. 32 on Forbes Magazine’s annual list of the top 100 highest-paid ath- letes, raking in $2.5 million in winnings and another $30 mil- lion in endorsements between June 2015 and June 2016.
The $32.5 million figure from his previous year is a more accurate depiction of Bolt’s earning power, as he re- portedly makes up to $400,000 in appearance fees for each of his estimated eight annual events in non-Olympic years. Add a sponsorship deal with Puma worth more than $10 million per year through 2025, nine more global en- dorsements and seven regional

In addition to Puma, Bolt has represented Gatorade, Visa, Virgin Media, All Nippon Airways, luxury Swiss watch- maker Hublot and Australian telecom brand Optus, among other popular companies, ac- cording to Forbes. He launched Miami-based company Cham- pion Shave just before the Olympics.
On top of all that, Bolt ap- pears as a character in the wildly popular video game Temple Run.
