Floyd Mayweather Jr. is gearing up for a rematch in his exhibition bout against John Gotti III.
Their first fight in 2023 ended in chaos following a stoppage in the sixth round.
As Mayweather prepares for the upcoming match, the undefeated boxing legend took some time out of his training to teach his grandson a few boxing techniques.
Kobena Woyome, Ranking Member of Parliament’s Youth, Sports, and Culture Committee, has disclosed that Ghana spent a staggering $15 million on feeding athletes during the 2023 African Games.
According to a document provided to the parliamentary committee, this expenditure was incurred over a span of just 18 days.
In an interview with Joy Sports, Woyome emphasized that the committee is seeking further details and plans to launch an investigation into this substantial spending.
“With a total expenditure of $245 million, it’s alarming to learn that $15 million was allocated solely for athlete meals over 18 days,” Woyome remarked.
The committee aims to verify the number of participating athletes and other pertinent details related to this expenditure.
This revelation comes amid ongoing disputes over broadcasting rights for the African Games. Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif had previously stated that $3 million was paid to the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) for coverage of the 13th African Games.
However, GBC Director-General Professor Amin Alhassan has contested this figure, stating that the broadcaster received only $105,000.
Six companies, including PSG, Quality Media Production S.L., The Production Room (TPR), Silicon Productions, GBC’s 24-hour African Games Channel (Support), and Positive Communication, were the recipients of recent payments.
A memo, reportedly signed by GBC Director-General Professor Amin Alhassan, outlines the funds distribution: PSG received 2,056,534 euros, $1 million was allocated to Quality Media Production S.L., Silicon Productions got $165,000, and GBC’s 24-hour channel was allocated $105,000.
These figures challenge earlier statements made by Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif, who informed the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that $3 million had been directly paid to GBC for game broadcasts. Professor Alhassan denied this, emphasizing that GBC only received $105,000, leading to further questions.
In response, the Youth and Sports Ministry clarified that $2.5 million was transferred to GBC in two separate installments, with an additional $1 million distributed to third parties as per GBC’s directions.

Ghanaian rapper Medikal, whose real name is Samuel Adu Frimpong, has recently been surrounded by rumors of a secret romance with fellow musician Eazzy.
The buzz began when popular Ghanaian socialite Davon shared details on Snapchat, claiming that Medikal and Eazzy were involved in an intimate relationship. This revelation has fueled speculation, with some netizens believing they’ve uncovered evidence that confirms the alleged affair, despite Medikal and his wife, Fella Makafui, seemingly moving forward with their lives.
Addressing the rumors, Medikal took to Snapchat, saying, “Whatever you hear about me, believe it. It’s true. Don’t doubt it. What you see online is only a glimpse of what’s happening behind the scenes. If I revealed everything, it would be too much to handle.”
He further explained that he has learned the importance of keeping his personal life private, saying, “I’ve decided to stay under the radar and keep most of my private life off social media. I’ve learned my lessons and won’t be sharing anything more online.”
While flying recently, Ghanaian musician Patapaa, known for his quirky style and comedic flair, added another amusing story to his repertoire.
Mid-flight, Patapaa surprised the cabin crew by jokingly asking if they could serve him fufu. The request, which came after he was offered the usual in-flight meal, had both him and the flight attendants laughing.
He later took to Instagram to share the experience, laughing at the situation and how it played out. Patapaa’s playful nature turned a routine moment into a light-hearted interaction that everyone on board enjoyed.
This incident is just another example of Patapaa’s talent for spreading laughter, whether he’s performing on stage or cruising at 30,000 feet in the air. His followers are sure to remember this latest episode as another classic Patapaa moment.

“I am not an Afrobeats artist. I am an African artist,” Flavour emphasized.
