50 Cent is not only a rapper, entrepreneur and actor, but now he added boxer promotor to his line of specialities!

On Saturday, the former Olympic gold medalist, Yuriorkis Gamboa won his fight against Michael Farenas on the big night
Juan Manuel Marquez defeated Manny Pacquiao.

The Cuban boxer, who was fighting for the FIRST time in over a year, knocked OUT Farenas in the 12th round and made 50 a proud promoter.

If Mitt and Ann Romeny's faces aren't hilarious enough in the picture (above), make sure you check out the reaction shot after the jump! LOLz!

Eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao was unexpectedly knocked out cold Saturday night during the WBO world welterweight fight in Vegas, and Mitt Romney and his wife Ann witnessed it all. Juan Manuel Marquez's fist must hurt something FIERCE!

Pacquiao was favored to win 47-46 in five rounds, especially with the broken nose he gave Marquez in the round before being knocked out.

Obvs, that's not how it turned out! Nuts!

Manny Pacquiao is pound-for-pound the best boxer in the world.

That means that even though weight differences would prevent a fair fight between him and a heavyweight, if all boxers were the same weight, Pacquiao would be top dog.

Aside from his incredible skill, he's also got one incredible body!

So Men's Health came up with a workout that will get you pumped up like Pacquiao:

No, it wasn't in a boxing match or anything.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was ordered to pay Manny Pacquiao $113,774 for defamation!

Pacquiao said Floyd falsely accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs in 2009.

In a new business venture, 50 Cent might be dropping his ol' pal Floyd Mayweather for a chance to partner up with his enemy!

It's true, 50 Cent is starting a promotional company, but it doesn't look like Floyd wants to be a part of it anymore — we wonder what happened… and if it's because of Manny Pacquiao!

Here's what Manny's advisor said:

The past few days must have been nuts for Manny Pacquiao, because he's already apologizing to the gay community for his sad and anti-gay comments.

The last we heard he was denying quoting Leviticus at all, but that doesn't really change his stance much on homosexuality and gay marriage.

Here's what he's saying now:

“I want to clarify that I didn’t say I wanted all gays put to death. The reporter asked me a question. He said, ‘Obama is in favor of legalizing gay marriage and what’s your opinion?’ He asked me about my opinion and I told him my opinion that that I don’t agree, and I’m against same sex marriage, but I didn’t say that I’m condemning the gays because, you know, I have relatives. I have gay relatives and friends. That’s all I said to the reporter.

“To the gay community, I apologize. I’m against same sex marriage, but I’m not condemning you. My favorite verse is ‘Love one another as you love yourself. Love your neighbor.’ So, I love everybody!”

How can you even claim to love everybody and still reject the idea of equal rights? What makes a straight couple more privileged than a gay couple?

This apology seems pretty empty to us. Especially since we feel like you're only doing it because you're in hot water.

By the way, what's the point of having religious freedom in this country if we let religions dictate our laws? It just doesn't make sense. We started this country for that very reason! Believe what you want, just don't let it interfere with the separation of church and state!

Especially when it comes to something as amazing as one human loving another so much that they want to take vows legally recognized in honor of it.

Equal rights for all!

Well, that didn't take long.

Boxer Manny Pacquiao is denying that he quoted the Bible when he was asked about President Obama's support of gay marriage, and that the original publication is lying about it.

He has been getting a LOT of flak for it, even being banned from places like The Grove in El Lay.

Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao has come out swinging against reports that he made anti-gay comments in a recent interview, saying it was a lie the publication made up.

Manny isn't just a boxer, though, he's also a devout Catholic and a Congressman in his homeland of the Philippines, along with being super married (even though he's been linked to be less devout in his marriage as he is a Catholic).

Here's what he's saying now:

“I didn’t say that, that’s a lie…I didn’t know that quote from Leviticus because I haven’t read the Book of Leviticus yet. I’m not against gay people… I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way. What I’m critical of are actions that violate the word of God. I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God.”

What he doesn't seem to understand is that being against equal rights for any reason is STILL being intolerant of those who are being discriminated against, regardless of your reasons! ESPECIALLY if you're in a position of influence!

Also, double especially if you've been linked in reports to a Filipina actress named Krista Ranillo while you're still married under "the law of God."

So wrong!
