Mayweather owes IRS millions, records show

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has said rumblings about his financial troubles are nothing more than rumors, but public records obtained by The Associated Press show the boxer nicknamed "Money" owes about $6.4 million to the Internal Revenue Service and others.

The IRS hit the former pound-for-pound boxing king with a lien in October for $6.17 million in unpaid taxes from 2007. A New Jersey Superior Court judgment from the same year shows he owes $193,000 in state taxes there.

Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's manager, disputed the records.

''Floyd Mayweather does not have a problem with the IRS," Ellerbe said Thursday. "He doesn't owe the IRS $6.1 million ... I don't (care) what a lien says."

IRS spokesman Raphael Tulino said that the agency does not comment specifically on individual tax situations.

Also: Cruiserweight Dewey Cooper faces Cory Phelps in an eight-round bout to headline tonight's Guilty Boxing card at the Plaza.

Las Vegas' Abdon Lozano meets Andre Gorges in a six-round welterweight bout, with Lonnie Smith meeting James Lester in a six-round lightweight fight.

Six amateur mixed martial arts fights also will be contested. The first bell is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Donovan rips Beckham as bad MLS teammate

David Beckham has become a bad teammate on the MLS's Los Angeles Galaxy, according to Landon Donovan.

"All that we care about at a minimum is that he committed himself to us," Donovan was quoted as saying in an excerpt of Grant Wahl's book "The Beckham Experiment," set for publication July 14. "As time has gone on, that has not proven to be the case -- on the field, off the field.

''If someone's paying you more than anybody in the league, more than double anybody in the league, the least we expect is that you show up to every game, whether you're suspended or not. Show up and train hard. Show up and play hard."

Beckham joined the Galaxy in July 2007 from Real Madrid and has a $6.5 million average annual income from the team.

Also: Forward Jozy Altidore, backup goalkeeper Brad Guzan and midfielder Ricardo Clark were among seven players added to the U.S. roster for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Forward Conor Casey, midfielders Benny Feilhaber and Sacha Kljestan and defender Jonathan Bornstein also were added.

CFL fines wide receiver for TD salute to Jackson
