Floyd Mayweather’s Gigli vs Logan Paul’s Prime vs The Rock’s ZOA: Nutrition, Price, & Specs Comparison
Floyd Mayweather’s entry into the beverage market throws a jab at established brands backed by celebrities like Logan Paul and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. But how does Gigli stack up against Prime Hydration and Zoa Energy? Let’s dive into the ring for a breakdown of nutrition, price, and specifications:

  • Nutrition:
  • Gigli: Focuses on health with superfood extracts like Ashwagandha and Ginseng, but packs a psychoactive punch with THC (5mg or 10mg per can). No information available on sugar content, vitamins, or caffeine.
  • Prime Hydration: Targets a younger demographic with a sugar-free, sports drink-esque option containing electrolytes and coconut water. Billed as having “artificial sweeteners” like sucralose and acesulfame potassium. PRIME also has there energy drinks which contain 200mg Caffeine in a 120oz can.

  • Price: Gigli and Zoa come in at similar price points but different quantities, with their variety packs: Gigli at $28.99 for a 4-pack and Zoa at $24.99 for a 12-pack. Prime Hydration offers a better value at $29.99 for a 12-pack.
  • Specs: Gigli comes in a variety of flavors like Blueberry Lemonade and Blood Orange Margarita. Prime boasts flavors like Tropical Punch and Ice Pop. Zoa offers a range of fruity and citrus options. Both Prime and Zoa are non-alcoholic, while Gigli is the only one with THC-infusion.

Success Lessons from Floyd Mayweather. « Money Matters with Nimi

While all three target health-conscious consumers, they cater to different niches. Gigli appeals to those seeking a functional beverage with a psychoactive effect. Prime targets a younger audience with a sports drink feel. Zoa positions itself as a vitamin and caffeine-infused fitness drink. With its unique blend of health and THC, Gigli might carve out a space, but it faces competition on price and established brands in the functional beverage market.

Does Floyd Mayweather Own Gigli?
While Floyd Mayweather has certainly thrown his considerable influence behind the new health drink Gigli, his role is primarily that of an investor. This detail comes directly from the man himself, via a recent Instagram post, where he excitedly shares news of the venture. Yet, despite his clear involvement and promotion of Gigli, the specifics of Mayweather’s stake in the brand remain shrouded in mystery. Public details about his exact ownership percentage or the terms of his investment have not been disclosed, leaving fans and followers curious about the depth of his involvement in the THC-infused health drink’s business operations.

Mike Tyson has awkward moment with security guard at Miami Open

By

Mike Tyson had an interesting run-in with a security guard, who momentarily refused to let the legendary boxer to his seat at the Miami Open as play was going on.

Mike Tyson took a break from training for his highly-anticipated fight against Jake Paul. The legendary boxer stopped by the Miami Open to enjoy some tennis, but found himself in an awkward run-in with a security guard.

On Tuesday, Tyson attended the Miami Open to watch the quarterfinal match between No. 27 Victoria Azarenka and Yulia Putintseva. Yet upon trying to get to his seat, he was stopped by a security guard who refused to let him pass until there was a stoppage in play.

Sky Sports commentators directed their attention to Tyson, who seemed to grow slightly annoyed while having to wait on the steps before being seated. One of the announcers heralded the guard as “brave,” jokingly asking, “You know this is Mike Tyson?”

“Iron Mike” has not been shy about expressing his love for tennis in the past. His daughter Milan grew a knack for the sport at just three years old and has developed into a rising star, even training with Serena Williams’ former coach Patrick Mouratoglou.

While speaking with Mouratoglou back in 2022, Tyson shared that tennis had changed his life and “broadened my horizons.” “Our whole life has changed over tennis,” he said. “I thought we were doing well and everything, and everything we were doing was making money, but that’s not bigger than my daughter playing tennis.

“She’s bigger than everything in our life now,” he continued. “I see her transcending into something she would never have before if she hadn’t got involved in tennis.”

Milan isn’t the only tennis player that Tyson enjoys watching, either. The 57-year-old frequents matches at the US Open and Indian Wells, among other professional tournaments.

This isn’t the first time that Tyson has faced an issue getting to his seats at the Miami Open. At last year’s tournament, he delayed the final between Elena Rybakina and Petra Kvitova after arriving fashionably late.

As Rybakina was going through her serve routine, the umpire noticed Tyson was still standing and called for all spectators to take their seats. Once the former heavyweight champion reached his chair and sat down, the crowd around him erupted in cheers. An additional break ensued, with play finally resuming after the noise died down.

This year’s Miami Open has been full of surprises, with several big names falling in the early rounds. On Monday, No. 1 seed Iga Swiatek lost to Ekaterina Alexandrova (6-4, 6-2). Just several hours prior, U.S. Open champion and No. 3 seed Coco Gauff was knocked out by No. 23 Caroline Garcia in three sets (6-3, 1-6, 6-2).

Following a brief break from boxing, Tyson’s attention will likely re-focus on his upcoming bout versus Paul. The two will step into the ring on July 20 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with Netflix broadcasting the event.

Eddie Hearn slams Francis Ngannou over Joshua ;filthy’ defeat excuse

By

Eddie Hearn has slammed Francis Ngannou for appearing to suggest that his demolishing defeat by Anthony Joshua was down to his early arrival at the arena.

Eddie Hearn bolsters his Matchroom stable by signing the brother of outstanding amateur | DAZN News GB

Joshua knocked down the former UFC heavyweight champion three times in two rounds to secure a dominant victory in Saudi Arabia.

Ngannou, in a recent interview on the MMA Hour, said that he arrived at the Kingdom Arena, in Riyadh, two hours earlier than Joshua, appearing to suggest that this was a ‘trick’ to tire him out.

Joshua’s promoter Hearn has taken exception with the comments, suggesting the 37-year-old ‘should know better’.

He told Boxing Social, ‘I was baffled. It is a bit disappointing really.

“He said they got him to the arena (early), who is they? You get given times by the broadcaster.

“He said that he was made to come to the arena early to tire him out for the fight, which is really an inexperienced boxing guy talking here, he should know better.

“You get your time, which is the ideal time that the organizer or the broadcaster would like you there, you make your own mind up.

“Some fighters like to get there three hours before, some like to get there an hour before, it all depends on the fighter.

“If AJ is told for example that “we want you there at 10 ‘o’clock” and we know that the fight is happening at 1am, then we would come a little bit later, because he doesn’t want to be hanging around that long.’

Hearn also reacted to a social media post which contained Ngannou’s comments, stating: “I’m not sure he has come round yet.”

Ngannou after the fight confessed that he couldn’t remember being knocked out by Joshua and that from going back to his stool in between the first and second rounds, he ‘wasn’t there anymore’.

Mike Tyson’s wife speaks out about 57-year-old husband accepting Jake Paul fight

By

Tyson is making a boxing comeback against social media sensation Paul in the summer and he is training hard for the fight according to his wife, Lakiha Spicer

UFC boss Dana White is confident Mike Tyson is preparing for his Jake Paul fight properly after speaking with the boxing legend’s wife.

Mike Tyson will take on Jake Paul

Boxing icon ‘Iron Mike’ is preparing for a comeback fight against social media star Jake Paul on July 20 at the 80,000 seat AT&T Stadium in Texas. Tyson will be 58 by the time he steps foot in the ring and there is a 30-year age gap between him and Paul, who wasn’t even born when ‘Iron Mike’ had a record of 45-2.

Although UFC boss White admitted he doesn’t want to see Tyson still fight, he is glad to hear the ring legend is taking it seriously. “I love Mike Tyson and I’m not a fan of anybody fighting at our age, but he’s a grown man obviously and he’s going to do what he’s going to do. I talked to his wife a couple of days ago and he’s taking it serious and he’s training for it,” White told Lex Fridman.

“I think Mike Tyson is one of the most unique guys who have crossed over, any of the other fighters from his generation have no way of making money without fighting and Mike Tyson has made a lot of money outside of fighting. Tyson still has that aura that you could be in a restaurant, you’d be like ‘Holy f***, Mike Tyson is here.’

Jake Paul - YouTube

“He still has that aura and energy in a room, he makes lots of money outside of the ring but I think he ends up getting these offers that he can’t refuse.” Paul has a professional record of 9-1 and his third fight took place on the undercard of Tyson’s last outing, an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020.

Paul recently ditched mega-fights against popular opponents in a bid to build up his record, knocking out unknown boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland in his last two fights. White mocked Paul by bringing up the influencer’s only defeat to Love Island star Tommy Fury and jokingly said he will fight Clint Eastwood after his bout with Tyson.

“Jake Paul did fight a kid his age and he lost. I just saw this thing on the internet yesterday and I reposted it where it says if he beats Mike Tyson he’s going to fight with Clint Eastwood next, Clint Eastwood is 93 years old,” White told Henry Cejudo and Kamaru Usman on the Pound 4 Pound podcast.

50–0 Floyd Mayweather, Richest Boxer in the World, Reveals the Biggest Regret of His Life

By

Regardless of being rich or poor, fat or skinny, every human being on this planet has regrets! And the same goes for one of the greatest fighters that ever entered the square circle, Floyd Mayweather Jr. No, it’s not about a specific fight! No, it’s not about a business deal! And no! It’s not about an expensive purchase.

What it’s really about is ‘Money’ Mayweather’s relationship with his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr. The father-son boxing duo have failed to look eye-to-eye on many occasions throughout their lives. Whether it’s arguments that saw the legendary boxing son banishing his father from his property or bitter public remarks that intensified their feud, Mayweather Jr. & Sr. have always ended up on opposing corners. While appearing in an interview with India’s ZOOM TV on March 19, Mayweather openly expressed his regret over the conflicts with his father.

Despite regret, Floyd Mayweather stands by the decision he made
Growing up, it was Mayweather Sr. who ignited the flames of boxing in his son, starting something that ended up making Mayweather a super hit. However, that doesn’t mean they didn’t have any problems. In 1992, Mayweather Sr.’s hustling lifestyle caught up to him! He was sentenced to five and a half years in prison on drug charges.

Floyd MAYWEATHER

It forced a young Mayweather Jr. to train with his uncle, Roger Mayweather. He did go back to training with Mayweather Sr. after he was released from prison. But ‘Money’ went back to Roger before the Victor Ortiz fight. It was a decision that drew a rift between the father and son. So, when the host of the interview asked Mayweather about his regrets in life, he said, “I regret beefing with my dad. When me and my dad bump heads, we [couldn’t] see eye to eye at that particular time.”

However, Mayweather still held his father in high regard. He told the host, “My dad is such a great man, such a beautiful person.” He then added, “When I was younger, I think I made the best decision because if I didn’t make the decision that I made, I probably wouldn’t be where I’m at. So, it was a good decision.”

Nevertheless, despite reaching unparalleled levels of success because of his decision back then, he would never choose “Money over genuine love for my children, my mother, and my father. Because once [the person’s] gone, you can’t get that person back.” While the father and son duo have managed to leave their differences in the past, their past looked quite different from today!

‘Money’ Mayweather beefs with Mayweather Sr.
The year was 2011, ‘Money’ was a few days away from his fight against Victor Ortiz when Mayweather Jr. and his father had to be separated by people. The back and forth began with something minuscule but soon turned into an all-out brawl in Mayweather’s gym, captured on camera by then-boxing broadcaster HBO.

Why is 'Floyd Mayweather dead' trending? | The Sun

In the middle of the argument, Mayweather Sr. claimed he was the one who helped hone Jr.’s skills. In response, Jr stated, “You can’t train nobody when you’re locked up. This [Roger] is my trainer right here! Jealousy don’t get you nowhere.” Offended by the remark, his father said, “What jealousy? Who is jealous,” claiming he is the best.

Years have passed since Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his father were at odds with each other. To the relief of his fans, their relationship is much more stable. However, what do you think about Mayweather’s statement?

Don’t Write Him Off: Anthony Joshua’s Former Trainer Gives Prediction On Possible Showdown With Tyson Fury

By

It’s the showdown all boxing fans want to see.
A former member of Anthony Joshua’s camp has given his view on the possibility of Joshua taking on Tyson Fury.

After brutally dispatching of Francis Ngannou earlier this month, the boxing world is desperate to see Joshua finally step into the ring with Fury, in what would be one of the biggest fights in British boxing history.

Fury has to navigate his way past Oleksandr Usyk when the pair finally lock horns in May. If Fury successfully beats the Ukrainian, it could open the door for the titanic bout.

Richie Woodall, who worked with Joshua as part of his team at the Olympics in 2012, has been asked about the mouth-watering fight. Although he can see Joshua’s improvement, he still says the match would be too tough to call.
“Last couple of performances he’s boxing really well, it’s working with Ben Davison,” he told Boxing Social.

The way he knocked out Ngannou was very impressive indeed. I think the fight everyone still really wants to see deep down is Tyson Fury versus AJ.

“But Fury has a very difficult fight against Usyk, but Tyson looks in really good shape so it’s a close one to call. I’m actually going for Fury, I think he will be too big for Usyk, but I can’t wait for it.

“But I think the one we want to see is AJ, I think he’s improving with Ben Davison, fair play to him so why not, it’s an exciting division.

 

“We’ll have to judge it on [Fury’s] next fight with Usyk, it’s going to be a difficult fight and he’s going to have to be at his best so Tyson versus AJ is 50-50 at this stage but if he beats Usyk he starts the favorite.”

Mike Tyson gave a shocking response after Deontay Wilder claimed he could KO him in his prime

By

Mike Tyson gave a typically humble response after Deontay Wilder claimed he would “kick the hell” out of a prime version of ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’.

Wilder, who slumped to a unanimous decision in his last fight against Joseph Parker after he survived a barrage of overhand rights and left hooks, previously bragged about the idea of beating a younger ‘Iron’ Mike.

Back in 2018, when TMZ specifically asked then-WBC heavyweight champion Wilder if he would stand a chance against Tyson, he responded: “Yes.”

‘The Bronze Bomber’ then went on to claim that he fears no heavyweight, past or present.

“Me vs Tyson in ’86, I’d kick the hell outta that guy,” he said without hesitation. “Listen, I’ve got to keep it real. I know people always go back to the old school or look at the new school and there’s no school where I’m not No 1 on Earth.”

Two years later and Tyson, who will fight Jake Paul later this year, responded to Wilder’s bold claim.

Speaking to TNT Sports, he said he was unsure if the Alabama-born fighter would have beaten him but admired the 38-year-old’s confidence.

“I don’t know [whether I’d beat him],” Tyson said. “I love the fact that he thinks that, because that’s the way I would think as well.

“He’s supposed to think that way, he is the heavyweight champion of the world and that’s something very special.”

Tyson certainly remained humble in front of the BT cameras but back in 2018, he was once again asked if Wilder could have beaten him in a fight.

“I don’t think so,” he replied.

Former British heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis was far more vocal in his response to Deontay Wilder’s comments.

“I just heard Deontay Wilder said he would destroy a young Mike Tyson,” he said.

“My thoughts are that it’s easy to talk until you actually get in the ring. I like Wilder but he’s never been in there with someone that ferocious who truly wants to break his ribs with every punch. I don’t see it.

“I love Wilder’s confidence… you need that to sit atop the heavyweight division… he’s hungry and shows up in probably best shape in division… but there’s levels to it… and he’s still adding to his arsenal.

“My best advice to the entire crop of young heavyweight champs is to focus on being the best of YOUR era! Out of respect and reality. It’s unprovable. Of course people asked, but I found no need to speculate or compare myself to my idol Ali or any other of the past greats.”

Lewis added: “History will decide your place among the all time greats… so go out there, clean up the division, defend your title, reign supreme and your work will speak for itself.”

Boxing fans are in a frenzy after AJ’s cryptic post

ANTHONY JOSHUA has teased an imminent fight announcement – just weeks after his destruction of Francis Ngannou.

The Watford warrior made light work of the former UFC heavyweight champion earlier this month, brutally knocking him out in the second round of their Saudi showdown.

AJ, 34, is now in prime position to face the winner of the historic undisputed heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk in May.

But the London 2012 gold medallist has hinted that he may be back in the ring sooner rather than later.

On Friday night, AJ posted a photo of himself on the phone to his Instagram story with a caption suggesting he may have received a “call” about his next fight.

It read: “Incoming call from @258management. AJ: ‘How can I help?’ @258mgt: ‘They want you to fight.’

“AJ: ‘I will get ready.'”

Joshua’s cryptic post spread like wildfire on social media, with some boxing fans fearing it meant bad news for the previously postponed Fury vs Usyk.

One asked on X: “Fury or Usyk is dropping out of the fight?”

Another said: “Which ones pulled out? Fury or Usyk? I’ll go the latter this time?”

Most fight fans, however, were convinced AJ is teasing a rematch with the resurgent Joseph Parker, who has won his last five on the bounce.

One said: “It means he’s fighting Joseph Parker in July.”

Another said: “Means Parker 2 man I’ve tried to deny it but that’s probably what’s happening.”

And another said: “Joe Parker if [Deontay] Wilders taking on [Zhilei] Zhang.”

He could find himself fighting for the IBF heavyweight title later this year as the sanctioning body is set to strip the winner of Fury vs Usyk of the belt.

That stripping will take place in order for their long-time mandatory challenger – Filip Hrgovic – to vie for the strap.
