We don't know what your diet will be like over the next month ... but Floyd Mayweather might be doing a little calorie counting, 'cause the champ has three lbs. to shed before the May 2 superfight.

TMZ Sports got their hands on a pic of Floyd tipping the scales for his mandatory 30 day weigh in ... and the Money Man came in at 150.5 ... 3.5 pounds over the welterweight limit of 147.

If you're worried about Mayweather making weight ... don't. We spoke with his high class chef not too long ago and she told us Floyd typically ratchets up his diet and training closer to fight date.

As for Manny, we're told the medical board of the WBC has been trying to reach out to the Filipino slugger for his weigh in ... but hasn't been able to make contact.

We saw him a little while ago ... at See's Candies.

An Indiana Pacers player and his girlfriend were stabbed -- and two ATL Hawks players were arrested for obstructing police -- in a violent incident outside of an NYC nightclub early Wednesday morning ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The stabbing victim is Pacers forward Chris Copeland ... who was stabbed in the stomach around 4 AM after leaving 1Oak nightclub. His girlfriend was slashed in the arm, breast and butt.

Officials says the injuries sustained by both Chris and his girlfriend are NOT life threatening. However, Copeland reportedly suffered a broken elbow in the attack and is undergoing surgery.

Cops say they arrested the person suspected of the stabbing -- 22-year-old Shezoy Bleary. Cops say Bleary used a switchblade in the attack.

Police say Copeland and his girlfriend were having a conversation when Bleary (who didn't know either of them) interjected ... and a fight ensued.

Two Atlanta Hawks players -- Pero Antic and Thabo Sefolosha -- were arrested at the scene for trying to prevent police from setting up a crime scene.

Outside the club, Chris' GF told the media, "We were attacked out of nowhere by a f*cking black civilian."

She continued, "We have nothing to say. We are scared for our lives."

Copeland's teammate Paul George just tweeted about the incident -- saying, "Pray for my brother Chris."

9:40 AM PT -- Antic and Sefolosha left the 10th precinct Wednesday afternoon and are headed to court for their arraignment.

12:30 PM PT -- The two Hawks players were just in court briefly. Each was charged with resisting arrest and Obstructing Government Administration. They were released on their own recognizance and are due back in court on June 16.

12:50 PM PT -- According to the criminal complaint, Antic and Sefolosha were told six times to clear the scene, but would only "move a couple of feet away but refuse to clear the area."

When it came time to arrest Sefolosha, police say he flailed his arms, twisted his body and kicked his legs. It took four people, according to the complaint, to get him into cuffs.

Score another black eye for the WWE ... John Cena proved again how real the sport is with his fresh new panda eye.

Cena was snapped in Glasgow Wednesday showing off an Irish makeover ... but we're not exactly sure how he got it. It's a safe bet to assume he picked it up while grappling with a dude in a cod-piece.

It's apparently a great week for shiners ... supermodel Christie Brinkley got banged up Monday when she did a Fabio and took a bird to the face while vacationing down in Turks and Caicos.

Together they make a matching set.

The axle doesn't fall far from the tree ... especially when the tree is a skateboard legend -- so says Tony Hawk who tells us his son Riley is a BETTER skater than he is.

It's hard to believe ... considering Tony is the greatest to ever hop on a board -- but the 46-year-old icon says his 22-year-old son is already a STUD on wheels ... and he's getting better.

"My son is already better than me in a lot of ways," Hawk says ... "He's more of a street skater. He's way more technical. He hits the handrails, the ledges and stuff."

Question is ... could Riley hit a 900 like his daddy??

Check out what Tony has to say about that.

And then watch Riley's skate video below -- the guy can shred.

The marriage may be over ... but NBA star Matt Barnes says he's finally made peace with his estranged wife Gloria Govan ... telling TMZ Sports, "I'm always gonna love my ex."

We broke the story ... Matt and his reality star wife separated back in September due to "trust issues" and at first, things were pretty nasty between the two.

And even though Matt hasn't formally filed divorce docs yet (we're told it's just a matter of time) ... the L.A. Clippers star told us both sides are finally moving on ... under peaceful circumstances.

"She's always gonna be my homie. She's the mother of my kids," Barnes says.

FYI -- the two were married back in 2012 and have 6-year-old twin boys together.

"She's always gonna be a part of my life ... so I have no ill feelings toward her."

WNBA superstar Brittney Griner is taking a hard stand on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Indiana -- saying if the Women's Final 4 was in the Hoosier State, she would've BOYCOTTED.

Griner -- who's openly gay and set to marry her GF Glory Johnson later this year -- was at LAX last night when she told us, "If the Women's Final Four was there, I damn sure wouldn't have went."

She added, "I wouldn't want to be discriminated [against]."

Scott Steiner is calling BS on Hulk Hogan -- claiming he never threatened to kill the guy before WrestleMania ... and says Hulk's just acting like a scared little bitch.

We broke the story ... Steiner is under investigation over a March 26th encounter with Hulk's wife Jennifer -- when she claims Steiner grabbed her at the San Jose airport and told her he was going to kill Hogan. Jennifer and Hulk filed a report with police the next day.

"I'm not going to dignify [Hogan's] lies," Steiner said ... "I didn't put my hands on her."

Steiner says he did approach Jennifer that day -- but only to talk some serious smack about Hulk introducing "Macho Man" Randy Savage at his WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.

"I told her Hulk introducing 'Macho Man' into the Hall of Fame is bullsh*t ... He hated him. Everyone knew that."

Steiner says there were cops nearby during the airport incident -- "So if she felt her life was threatened, why didn't she talk to the cops?"

As far as the investigation goes, Steiner says he has NOT yet been contacted by police.

He did have one final thought -- "It's not my fault Hulk Hogan is afraid of me."

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for the Lakers ... small forward Wesley Johnson has been sued for allegedly slamming his BMW into another driver who claims she was seriously injured in the wreck.

TMZ Sports has learned ... the 27-year-old NBA player was hit with a lawsuit stemming over an August 14th crash -- when he allegedly rear-ended a Ford Focus on the 91 Freeway in L.A.

The alleged victim, Victoria Kane, claims Johnson was driving at a high rate of speed when he hit her -- sending the Focus across the HOV lane and into the highway median.

Kane claims she suffered multiple injuries to her head, face, shoulder, neck and arm -- and an ambulance transported her to a nearby hospital.

TMZ Sports obtained pics of Kane's car -- which was totaled in the wreck.

We reached out to Johnson for comment -- so far, no word back.

NFL wide receiver Greg Little has a big problem -- his landlords are trying to evict him from his sick Hollywood Hills bachelor pad ... but GL says HE'S the one getting screwed.

Here's what we know ... back in January, the 25-year-old free agent began renting the insane 3 bedroom crib for $15,000 per month. And things seemed to be fine until Greg missed a payment.

The landlord says Greg's rent check bounced -- and he's given the NFL player an ultimatum ... pay up or get out. Greg didn't take either option and is still occupying the home.

But Greg says that's a load of crap ... claiming he INTENTIONALLY withheld payment from the landlord because the house is essentially a lemon.

"When you pay for a high dollar house, you want everything to be smooth," Greg tells TMZ Sports ... "stuff was breaking left and right. They wouldn't fix the stuff."

The landlords have now filed court docs to force Greg out of the home.

Greg says he's not trying to be difficult -- he just wants to be treated fairly.

Bo Jackson used to be the king of TWO sports ... now, he's got problems handling a #1.

Jackson called in to "TMZ Hollywood Sports" and told us about how he's getting his 52-year-old body ready for his annual charity cycling event, Bo Bikes Bama ... but he's moving a little slower than he used to.

"I got up this morning and went to the bathroom to pee ... and pulled a muscle," Bo joked.

But the real headline could be that Bo thinks he's gonna get his "BUTT KICKED" in the ride by his former nemesis Brian Bosworth -- who's announced he's participating this year.

Richard Sherman never backs down from a challenge ... and never hesitates to tell you about it (see Erin Andrews) -- and dirty diapers are no different for the Seahawks superstar.

Sherman was flying into LAX last night when he did something he never does -- help out an opposing QB ... in this case, the Redskins' RG III. Sherman had a baby boy back in February, and Griffin's got one on the way.

Griffin told TMZ Sports yesterday everyone says his sleeping days are over -- and Sherm co-signed on that, and added another tip ... saying, "Get ready for a wild ride."

And it sounds like the wildest part for Richard has been dealing with soiled diapers. Check out the clip, especially if you're RG III.

As if NHL star Jack Johnson hasn't had enough drama over the past year -- now, officials say he was a pawn in a Ponzi scheme allegedly run by a former NFL star ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, ex-Miami Dolphins cornerback Will Allen has been accused of stealing millions of dollars from investors who thought they were funding his business of loaning money to pro athletes.

Now, according to docs obtained by TMZ Sports ... officials say one of the athletes he told people he was loaning cash to was Johnson ... who had reportedly gone broke after his parents allegedly spent his fortune.

Johnson's story made national headlines -- since he had made more than $18 million in his NHL career at that point.

According to court docs, Allen and his business partner told investors they were gathering cash to make a $5.65 million loan to Johnson ... who is currently in the middle of a $30 million contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

But officials say Allen and his partner lied to his investors -- because the loan to Johnson was only for $3.4 million ... and instead, they used the rest of the money to shower themselves in riches.

Allen and his partner have been charged with fraud.

Ex-Florida State cornerback P.J. Williams -- a projected 1st round NFL Draft pick -- has plead NOT GUILTY to DUI ... though he admits he had been drinking earlier in the evening.

As we previously reported, Williams --who's 21-years-old -- was arrested while leaving a McDonald's parking lot in Tallahassee early Friday morning after hanging out at a local nightclub.

However, P.J.'s lawyer Jonathan Simon tells TMZ Sports the NFL prospect was the designated driver that night ... and had cut himself off HOURS before he got behind the wheel.

"He did have a drink or two earlier," Simon says ... "But at 3 AM, he was taking everyone to McDonald's. It's what 21-year-olds do."

Simon says Williams is adamant he was not driving drunk -- and plans to fight the case all the way to the end.

We're told Williams did NOT submit to a breathalyzer or a blood test during the arrest -- and Simon believes dash cam video of the incident could actually help P.J.'s case.

The case is due back in court soon.

Former Miami Dolphins cornerback Will Allen is a mini-Bernie Madoff ... so says the SEC which claims the ex-NFL player ran a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme and blew some of the cash in clubs and casinos.

According to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Allen -- who signed a $12 million contract with the Dolphins in 2006 -- was a co-owner of Capital Financial Partners, which made loans to pro athletes.

The SEC says 36-year-old Allen and his partner raised $31 million from investors but only loaned out $18 mil ... and used some of the remaining money to PARTY THEIR ASSES OFF!

Now, the government agency is going after Allen and his partner for all of the money they allegedly stole -- plus interest and penalties.

FYI -- Allen was a 1st round pick in the 2001 NFL Draft ... and played in the league until 2012.

Shocking moment in the Aaron Hernandez case -- the ex-NFL star's lawyer just suggested that Aaron was a WITNESS in the Odin Lloyd murder ... and the killer was someone he knew.

Hernandez's attorney just wrapped up his closing statements -- and while once again denying Aaron pulled the trigger ... told the court that Hernandez was merely a witness.

"He was a 23-year-old kid who witnessed something, a shocking killing, committed by someone he knew," Aaron's lawyer said.
