Manny Pacquiao -- IT'S TEBOW TIME!!!





If Jesus had to pick a side in the Mayweather vs. Pacquaio fight, it's probably fair to say that Manny has successfully stacked the deck ...


Pacman hooked up with his "brother in Christ" Tim Tebow at Manny's training center in Los Angeles on Saturday to hang with the former Heisman Trophy winner.


It doesn't appear Tim worked out ... seems like they just kicked it and talked about their common interests ... J.C.


In other news, Mayweather better start trying to make friends with the Pope.

Suge Knight -- Hit and Run Victim Told Cops ... 'I Fu**ed Him Up!'


breaking news


0317_Cle-Sloan_suge_knight_getty_tmz


The guy who survived the Suge Knight hit and run proudly told deputies ... he attacked Suge with a flurry of punches right before getting run over.


According to investigator's docs ... Cle "Bone" Sloan was still in his hospital bed when he described the incident to cops by saying, "I fu**ed him up!"


In the docs, Sloan adds he punched Suge several times through the driver side window ... and when Suge tried to exit his truck ... he punched him some more. That part of Sloan's story matches exactly with the surveillance video TMZ first posted of the incident.


But Sloan also told investigators he was attempting to walk away from the truck when he was hit -- but in the video he still appears to be fighting when Suge throws the truck in reverse and smashes Sloan.


Another inconsistency ... Sloan says he arrived at the Tam's parking lot AFTER Suge. In the video ... Sloan is waiting right next to the parking lot when Suge pulls up.


Suge has claimed he only ran over Sloan and Terry Carter in self-defense ... believing they were getting ready to shoot him.

Mayweather/Pacquiao Fight -- New WBC Belt Unveiled ... $1 Million Swag!!


EXCLUSIVE


0317-floyd-mayweather-manny-pacquiao-belt-chosen-EMERALD-01Floyd and Manny are fighting for more green than they thought on May 2nd ... 'cause TMZ Sports has the first look at the WBC belt the two men will be vying for ... and it's as emerald as Oz.


The World Boxing Council didn't just want any old championship belt to be handed out to the winner of this historic bout ... so they decided to commission a special prize for the victor.


Two belts were made ... an "onyx" version and an "emerald" version -- and a fan vote on the WBC website last week determined which belt will be delivered to the winner.


It was a tight contest but emerald took it with 53% of the vote ... although both belts are said to be worth nearly $1 MILLION ... so there was no real loser.


Except of course the guy that gets his face knocked off on the 2nd.


Actually he kinda wins too ($100 million bucks).
