Whitlock: Is ‘Money’ Mayweather out of money? Boxing legend re-enters ring at 49 because he’s been ‘living for the culture.’



Legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather, 49, is set to come out of retirement and re-enter the professional ring after a bout against Mike Tyson this spring. According to his official statement, he “still [has] what it takes to set more records,” but in the sports media world, rumors are swirling that “Money” Mayweather is actually just broke.

“All across social media, there are rumors and stories coming out about Floyd Mayweather — him auctioning off property, him being in bankruptcy, him being out of money, and that’s why he’s going to fight Mike Tyson,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says.

He displays a tweet from Richard Allison that captures the wildest claims about Mayweather’s lavish spending habits:

“He’s blown it all. And now at 49 years old, he’s got to go back into the boxing ring and continue to fight because he’s in a lot of debt,” Whitlock says.

There’s a way to enjoy the fruit of one’s labor without allowing it to consume you, he argues, pointing to basketball GOAT Michael Jordan as the best example.

“Michael Jordan didn’t want to be relatable; [he] wanted to be helpful and have a good time. You can do both. Michael Jordan has played golf everywhere; he’s gambled everywhere, but he’s also taken time to be helpful,” Whitlock says, pointing to the four family medical clinics Jordan has opened in North Carolina specifically for uninsured or underinsured patients.

Mayweather, on the other hand, has only been “living for the culture,” he says.

“The culture doesn’t reward anybody. It steals and destroys. ... Don’t be Floyd Mayweather.”

Jason Whitlock: Why white college kids are taking the NCAA Tournament by storm



The landscape of college basketball is changing, and after noticing a larger amount of standout white players flooding the courts during this year’s NCAA Tournament, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock has a theory as to why that is.

“The same thing that’s going on in the NBA is going on in college basketball. You got Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic and Cooper Flagg running around everywhere all over college basketball,” Whitlock begins.

“This is the exciting whites storming the NCAA Tournament, and no one wants to talk about it. No one wants to know how we got here. Let me go a cut deeper about what’s going on here as well because it’s not just the players,” he says, pointing out that there are no black American coaches in the Sweet 16.


“Kelvin Sampson, we’ll claim him as a coach of color. You guys know Kelvin Sampson’s one of my favorite people. He’s Native American, but things have gotten so bad for black coaches that we have to pretend like Kelvin Sampson is a black American coach. He’s not,” he continues.

Whitlock believes none of this will be discussed because “it’s all connected to a bigger issue in the black community” that he points out is off limits.

“And that’s the fact that there’s a leadership problem in black America. And that’s because black America has a matriarchal culture. We’re led by women. Women are not great leaders. Period. End of story,” he explains.

“They keep shoving it and slamming it down your throats that these queens, black and white, and particularly lesbians, they’re great leaders. They’re just like men. And I keep telling you all, look at what’s happening to black America,” he continues.

"That’s the take today that no one else is going to make or give you or ask you to marinate on. But it is so crystal clear and so obvious,” he adds.

Jason Whitlock EXPOSES the truth about interview with Cam Newton



When BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock sat down with Cam Newton on “4th & 1,” the result was more than just a heated debate; it was a revealing and surprising dialogue — despite their well-known differences.

The pair engaged in a respectful conversation that left Whitlock with the feeling that it was a rare moment where two opinionated men with fundamental disagreements were able to understand each other.

“I’m so glad that I agreed to appear on Cam Newton’s ‘4th & 1’ program,” Whitlock begins. “It was an opportunity for me to show a fuller picture of myself, takes me out of my comfort zone, and was an opportunity for me to get a bit more insight into Cam Newton.”

“I thought it was a very healthy discussion. I thought it was a very entertaining discussion. I thought it was a very authentic discussion, and I tip my hat to Cam Newton,” he continues.


Whitlock points out that not only was it “authentic” but that it was one of the first times he’s seen two black men who have almost nothing in common ideologically — and have a fair amount of tension in their relationship to boot — sit down together and have a “respectful” conversation.

And Steve Kim agrees, telling Whitlock that he “really enjoyed that interview.”

“On a global scale, this is like Reagan and Gorbachev coming together, and you guys tore down that wall. I actually think you guys might have a little bit, dare I say it, a friendship,” Kim jokes.

“I can honestly say, at least from what I observed ... I thought he came away with a clearer understanding and a heightened respect for you, Jason, as a person, after that conversation,” he adds.

Shemeka Michelle also believes the pair had an “excellent conversation,” but she admits there were moments of frustration.

“There were times that I was on the edge of my seat, a little bit frustrated by Cam’s explanation, and I feel like he wasn’t bending sometimes the way I wanted him to bend or actually understand your point of view,” Michelle tells Whitlock.

Michelle also notes that she saw a different side of Whitlock in the interview.

“When you’re on ‘Fearless,’ I don’t think you’re very confrontational. Like there are times when I think you could have body slammed a few people. I’m not going to name any names. Like you really could have given them a verbal body slam, but you were kind,” Michelle says.

“But this time, I feel like you didn’t do that. You were in a different space, and I just saw a different Jason,” she adds.

Jason Whitlock SLAMS WNBA's new CBA as 'more welfare money’ fueled by Caitlin Clark and the ‘alphabet agenda’



After years of a media-driven pressure campaign over pay and treatment, WNBA players have secured a significant salary increase. On March 18, the league and its players' union (WNBPA) announced their verbal/tentative agreement on a new collective bargaining deal that will dramatically increase player salaries by tying pay to revenue shares.

But given that the WNBA has long been financially propped up by the NBA and has only recently started generating enough revenue to trigger player revenue sharing (and potentially turn profitable), Jason Whitlock sees the league’s new deal as undeserved welfare disguised as earned success.

“Nothing that happened with the WNBA and their CBA agreement had anything to do with proper business or these women getting what they're owed or what they've earned or what they deserve. This is being given to them to execute an agenda,” he says.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Whitlock exposes the corruption behind this new WNBA agreement and calls out ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith for pandering to the “alphabet agenda.”

“They want the next group of leaders to all be in support of the alphabet movement, the disruption of the nuclear family, the destruction of the nuclear family, the destruction of a Christian culture, and so they are making alphabet mafia soldiers the heroes and leaders for your kids,” says Whitlock. “That's what this is all about.”

He pokes fun at ESPN's Stephen A. Smith for enthusiastically celebrating the landmark deal on a recent episode of “First Take,” during which he praised Nneka Ogwumike (Seattle Storm forward and president of the players' union) for her leadership, telling her sister Chiney Ogwumike that Nneka "has set a standard," "deserves to be applauded," and that the agreement is "a damn good deal.”

But the truth, says Whitlock, is that this deal had nothing to do with Nneka Ogwumike or any genuine achievement.

“Two things are responsible for them getting overpaid: Caitlin Clark and the alphabet agenda," he says.

“We just gave the welfare sport more welfare money. The WNBA is a welfare sport. It's no different than women's soccer. That was a welfare sport for 40 or 50 years,” Whitlock continues, exposing the pattern of “take money away from men, give it to women” to create “more lesbian feminist leadership.”

He accuses Smith of pandering to the WNBA: “He’s applauding it out of arrogance, foolishness, the desire to remain in power, the desire to remain in the good graces of the feminist and the alphabet mafia people that actually control his salary, control his platform.”

“This is what selling out looks like.”

"This is TRASH!" - Why the Oscars Ratings COLLAPSE is a Massive Win for America

Oscars ratings collapse as Jason Whitlock blames ‘woke’ Hollywood for cultural decline



In 1996, the Oscars viewership totaled a whopping 45 million — but now, in 2026, the number has dwindled to a measly 17 million.

“At 17 million, it’s attracting about 5% of the American public,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock comments, adding that Clay Travis made an interesting point regarding the celebrity awards show.

“Big media take: the only reason broadcast TV networks still exist is the NFL. Go look at ratings, if the NFL isn’t on NBC, CBS and Fox, what are people watching on these channels? Bigger media take: sports is the only reason cable TV still exists. Am I wrong? Debate, discuss,” Travis wrote in a post on X.

The Oscars, like sports, Whitlock comments, “used to be a powerhouse.”


“It was like a big party, a big holiday event, Oscars night. Families would dress up, families would throw parties, people would invite everybody over, people would have wine and beer and drink and food,” he recalls.

“It was like a celebration. It was a mini-Super Bowl. And now it’s nothing. And it’s nothing because it moved away from reality. It’s nothing because the movies are nothing. They are straight trash,” he says, blaming DEI for the quality of films.

“The woke movement has done this. Woke movies, woke television, woke everything, the move away from reality. Movies and TV no longer reflect our reality. And that has made sports the last thing still connected to reality, the last thing that still reflects an American reality. It makes sports more valuable,” he explains.

And sports still reflect an American reality because many of them are attached to patriotism.

“There is an underserved market of people out here that want to see things on television, things in popular culture, that reflect a love for America and are connected to something that’s believable,” Whitlock says.

“This is how I know they have killed capitalism, because there’s this great mass of America that just wants popular culture to serve them up some reality, some masculinity, some moral values loosely connected to Christianity,” he continues.

“They want to celebrate America,” he adds.

‘The real pandemic’: Jason Whitlock sounds alarm on black youth violence, blames breakdown of family structure



BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is raising concerns over disturbing scenes of youth violence, pointing to viral footage from spring break in Daytona Beach and the Washington Navy Yard as evidence of what he sees as a growing cultural crisis.

“I see these videos, I see these events, and it breaks my heart. And it breaks my heart because nothing's being done about it,” Whitlock says.

“If you do any research, the first eight years of a child’s life — critical to their development. And if both parents aren’t on that job those first eight years, you virtually have no shot with course-correcting or fixing or properly adjusting that child,” he continues.

And when Whitlock plays a clip of spring break in Daytona Beach, gunshots ring out, teens are scattered all over, and he describes “women losing their weaves as they run away.”


In another video from the Washington Navy Yard, a fight breaks out between teenagers who appear to be, like in the Daytona clip, majority black.

“Oh, the black kids fighting each other. I’ve never seen that. That’s so unusual,” Whitlock says sarcastically.

“Part of the reason I bring this up is, like, there is an enjoyment that black people clearly have about seeing other black people fight with each other. We whip out our phones, and we record it. No one does anything to stop the fights or break them up,” he continues.

“It’s a recording opportunity,” he adds.

However, while Whitlock is pointing out his disappointment with how the next generation of black kids are turning out, plenty of people don’t seem to want to hear it.

“People are upset with me right now for talking about it,” he says, adding that people often point out that white kids have problems too.

“They have problems. Drugs, you know, sexual degeneracy and all that, feminism. They have problems, but they’re just not as acute because they still have families,” he says. “They still have mom and dad in the home in relatively large numbers.”

“There’s a crisis of black fatherhood, of divorce, dysfunction, kids unsupervised, kids raised by televisions and video games and iPhones,” he continues.

“This is the pandemic, the real pandemic, and it’s not being discussed,” he adds.

'Third wheel’ LeBron James embraces reduced role — could the Lakers now become playoff threats?



On Monday night, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 100-92, with star point guard Luka Doncic scoring 36 points to extend the team’s winning streak to six games.

BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock thinks the reign of LeBron James is finally coming to an end — and even more, the longtime power broker may be OK with it.

“LeBron James seemed somewhat comfortable as the third leg, the third wheel,” he says, noting that even head coach JJ Redick is now referring to James as a third option.

Now that James, who Whitlock has long argued is a hindrance to the team’s success, is in his rightful place, will the Lakers finally reach their competitive potential?

On this episode of “Fearless,” Whitlock and guests Jay Skapinac, Dre Baldwin, and Steve Kim debate the future of the purple and gold.

“I know Charles Barkley will be upset with me for even suggesting this, but could the Lakers be a serious threat in the postseason?” Whitlock asks the panel.

For Baldwin, the answer is complicated.

“I say they are a threat because they have a very good player in Luka Doncic. They have Reeves, and of course, LeBron is still a very good third wheel. ... As long as he's OK with being in the third seat and staying there ego-wise, they are a threat,” he says.

“Now, are they actually going to win and come out of the West? I say no. They have all offense. They are not very strong defensively,” he caveats.

Kim is optimistic about the Lakers' playoff prospects so long as the team continues to prioritize team performance over LeBron’s court time.

“You got to be able to play by the pecking order, and that'll be the test for both JJ Redick and LeBron James,” he says.

Skapinac is more hesitantly optimistic.

“[LeBron] has actually muffled and suppressed his own ego for a couple games here, Jason. Can he do it for the next 16 games of the regular season and then for the remainder of the playoffs? ... I still will hedge my bet and say no on that,” he argues.

Even if LeBron’s ego stays in check for the remainder of the season, however, he nonetheless has low hopes the Lakers will be serious championship contenders.

“It's a stretch to suggest they'll get out of the first round. They're going to finish somewhere between three through six,” he predicts.

Jason Whitlock: The NCAA tournament has a Bruce Pearl problem



Former Auburn coach Bruce Pearl appears to be stealing the show as an analyst for the NCAA men’s tournament — and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is already over it.

“There’s no reason for Bruce Pearl to be the most interesting man in the NCAA Tournament,” Whitlock says on “Fearless.”

“For him to be overshadowing the players and the coaches in this tournament — and he is — that’s a problem. You have legitimate stars in this NCAA Tournament, and everyone’s talking about Bruce Pearl,” he continues.

“The former Auburn coach, the man that is still taking money, as we learned yesterday, from Auburn, while promoting Auburn, while taking a dump on Miami, while taking a dump on SMU. The former coach at Auburn and Tennessee should not be the most interesting man in any NCAA Tournament. He never won one,” he adds.


“I want to walk you through why this is a problem,” Whitlock says, pointing out that there are incredible stories all over the NCAA Tournament that aren’t getting the attention they deserve — because it’s all on Pearl.

“There’s more conversation about Bruce Pearl today than there is about Cameron Boozer at Duke. Cameron Boozer is a 6’9" post player — power forward — who’s led Duke to the number one overall seed. He’s a fascinating story,” he explains.

“He has a twin brother on the Duke team that’s going to be starting. I believe his name is Cayden Boozer … the Boozer brothers and Duke. Fascinating story. Overshadowed by Bruce Pearl,” he says.

“He’s sucking up all the oxygen in the room. He’s launching this television career, which I hope ends after this year. He’s done enough damage,” he adds.

Whitlock slams Oscars DEI rules after Michael B. Jordan speech: ‘This is programming’



As Hollywood continues to embrace diversity mandates — which couldn’t have been more clear at the 96th Academy Awards — the film industry is sending the wrong message about merit and inspiration.

“The Academy Awards came up with new criteria for how to win or be eligible to even win the Best Picture nominee,” Whitlock says, noting that potential winners had to meet DEI requirements.

“At least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors submitted for Oscar consideration is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group in a specific country or territory of production,” read some of the Representation and Inclusion Standards of the Academy Awards.


“At least 30% of all actors not submitted for Oscar consideration are from at least two underrepresented groups which may include women, racial or ethnic group, LGBTQ+, people with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing,” reads another guideline.

“This is all programming. This is all brainwashing. This is all a reflection of unreality,” Whitlock says, before playing a clip of Michael B. Jordan, who won the award for Best Actor.

“I stand here because of the people that came before me. Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker, Will Smith. And to be amongst those giants, amongst those greats, amongst my ancestors, amongst my guys,” Jordan said.

He then added, “I just want to say thank you for everybody in this room that has something to do with my success.”

“You know, he rattles off this group of black actors,” Whitlock comments, pointing out that when it was his dream to be a great sportswriter, he didn’t choose his heroes based on skin color.

“What — you’re telling me that in 2026, the only people that can inspire black kids are other black people? I just — I don’t get this. This is so limiting,” he continues. “White people get to be inspired by any and everybody. There's a white kid, right now, today, that’s sitting around saying, ‘Hey, I want to be like LeBron James.’”

“They get access to be inspired by whatever human being is on the planet. Their options for inspiration are limitless. We’re telling black kids, subtly and straightforwardly, that the only people that can inspire you are other black people,” he adds.
