    First Female NFL Coach, Accepting an Invitation to Floyd Mayweather's Fight

    Could there be a conflict of interest?

    With the amount of money he bets, I wonder if he'll get her to make a few calls in his favor. Can we say he just bought a NFL Refree?

    Jen Welter, the "training camp/preseason intern coaching inside linebackers"
    will be there to watch Andre Berto knock him out.

    This guy seems to be a breath of fresh air for the women's progressive movement. Seems he's always doing something positive for women, a modern day Rosie the riveter in a male body. Ha, anyway Floyd and his team are one of the smartest out there and thats why his brand is able to get him the purses he gets, he couldnt have made a better choice than this.

    Word on the street is that Floyd made millions fixing WPFL totals during Jens days as inside Linebacker for the Dallas Diamonds. Probably his way of paying her back.
