Floyd Mayweather put cake to camera this weekend ... to show off a custom dessert at a belated Pacquiao victory party ... a dessert that's worth $15,000!!!!

It all went down at LIV nightclub in Miami -- where Mayweather was partying with a bunch of people from his TMT crew -- including DJ Jay Bling, Ricki Brazil and P-Reala.

At one point, Mayweather was presented with a 90-pound custom cake from Divine Delicacies
(coordinated by his friend Ms. Bling) ... a lemon rum cake that contained more than 10,000 Swarovski crystals!!!!

But get this ... we're told Floyd LOVED the look of the cake so much, he didn't want anybody to eat it until the party was over. At one point Floyd said, "I'm serious about nobody cutting my cake!"

We're told everyone obliged ... but when Floyd finally gave people the green light, only a few select people were given permission to dig in -- and didn't come close to finishing the whole thing.

Nick Young's days of raging and having fun are over ... 'cause now that he's engaged to be married, Swaggy says he's trading in the fast life -- for bingo.

Moments after he proposed to Iggy Azalea, Young shot a video talking about what his life is going to be like after trying the knot.

"I've retired my jersey man, I'm done. I'm gonna go play bingo and cards ... that's my life now."

Moments later, one of Nick's friends poured out some liquor for Nick -- saying, "To my dead homie."

Soooo ... congrats!?

If Tom Hanks' son wants to use the N-word in a rap song, he'd better watch his ass -- so says WNBA legend Lisa Leslie who says "the real homeboys" could have a real problem with it.

Chet Haze -- who is extremely white -- has been on a crusade to justify using the N-word ... saying it's not about race, it's "about the culture you identify with."

So, how does Leslie feel about it?

First off, she's not a fan of the word -- saying, "It's really unfortunate that it's a word that's hung around for 200 years plus."

Game respects game ... at least when it comes to LeBron James ... who was so impressed with the kid who won the 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee -- that he just sent him a whole bunch of awesome Cavs swag ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The kid who popped up on LeBron's radar -- Gokul Venkatachalam -- is a HUGE Cavaliers fan who rocked a LeBron #23 jersey underneath his button down shirt ... while dominating the spelling bee.

A rep for the Cavs tells us LeBron and the team were so impressed by the performance ... they hooked Gokul up with a pair of Nike Lebron XII's ... inscribed with a personal message from King James ... plus a bunch of team apparel.

We spoke to Gokul, who hasn't yet received the swag ... but says he is "pumped" that LeBron and the team recognized his accomplishment.

Pretty cool, right?

Two Boston tow truck operators didn't want to go down as the guys who hauled off Rob Gronkowski's party bus, so they let him off the hook ... and the Gronk couldn't have been happier.

Matthew from Todisco Towing tells TMZ Sports he was called to Howl at the Moon in Boston early Sunday morning to haul off a bus that was parked illegally in a private lot.

Despite the bus being adorned with a Body Armor logo (which Rob endorses) and his #87 ... Matthew claims he had no idea he was about to tow Gronk's ride.

Once the bus was up on the truck and ready to go, Matthew says several patrons began asking him, "Don't you know whose bus that is?"

Then, someone from Rob's entourage came out and promised to move it ... and Matthew decided, "I didn’t want to find out what the end result would be if I had towed the truck. You know Pats fans wouldn’t have that."

So Matthew let the truck down and that's when Gronk emerged -- super thankful for the reprieve -- and posed for a few pics.

Matthew was quick to tell us ... Gronk never asked anyone to stop or offered any kind of favor. Everyone involved was just acting out of the kindness of their hearts.

Not everyone was so lucky ... a few other cars did get towed that night.

Pays to be Gronk.

Former NFL linebacker Ray McDonald burst through his ex-fiancee's bedroom door in a drunken early morning rage, threatening her and their baby boy hours before his first arrest last week -- according to new docs filed by the woman.

Kendra Scott filed for a restraining order in the wake of McDonald's 2 arrests last week. In her docs, she lays out her version of what went down on May 25 -- saying the ex-49er showed up at her apartment at 3 AM. She says he was drunk when he "broke down her bedroom door by breaking the knob."

Scott says she grabbed their 2-month-old son and then Ray cornered them and got physical. She doesn't say exactly how he attacked her.

In the docs, she repeatedly raises alcohol as an issue for McDonald, saying she became "concerned he had a drinking problem." After their engagement in Feb. 2014 ... she says he frequently called her an "ignorant bitch" and a "lazy bitch" if she didn't clean up after his parties.

Scott says the physical attacks increased, and then in August 2014 it got really bad when he came home drunk, choked her, dragged her, and kneed her in the stomach ... while she was pregnant. As we previously reported ... this is the incident that led to McDonald's first arrest.

No charges were filed in that case because Scott didn't cooperate with the D.A. In the docs, she says she hoped he would change.

Scott was granted the restraining order this week, and it requires McDonald to say 300 yards away from her and the baby. He also cannot have any contact with her.

Sepp Blatter has officially resigned as the president of FIFA -- after an FBI sting operation into the organization that led to the arrests of 14 FIFA execs.

Blatter says he will spearhead the search for a replacement.

Blatter ran for reelection and WON last week -- but says he now believes he is not getting the support he had hoped for from the international soccer community.

In a statement to the media, Blatter said ... "FIFA's interests are dear to me. That’s why I have taken this decision. What counts most for me, is the institution of FIFA and football around the world.”

Caitlyn Jenner has some tricky day-to-day changes in store, including where she eats, drinks and changes clothes ... at the country club which has become her home away from home.

Bruce Jenner became a member of Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, CA 15 years ago. He golfed there almost every day and established close relationships with his golfing buddies. It's a very exclusive, ritzy club with an initiation fee ranging between $150,000 and $300,000.

But now that Bruce is Caitlyn, the rules partially segregate her from the male members.

For starters, there's a grill in the locker room that is male only. The women's locker room has its own eating area which is way more scaled down.

Our Sherwood sources say the board will enforce the rules, which means the camaraderie Bruce shared with the other members will be impeded now that she's Caitlyn.

But we're also told the board is open to an appeal by Caitlyn herself. She can attempt to make a case that she can keep the same privileges she had when she was Bruce.

He's a martial arts expert ... but Jackie Chan says he's NEVER heard of MMA superstar Ronda Rousey.

Weird, considering Chan is also an action film buff ... and Ronda's been blowing up with roles in "The Expendables 3" and "Furious 7."

In fact, when Chan was cruisin' through Beverly Hills yesterday -- he told us he's still making MORE action flicks ... including "Rush Hour 4" -- and was having dinner with Chris Tucker to talk about the project.

What Rihanna wants, Rihanna gets ... this time, it seems her sights are set on an international soccer superstar -- because the two hooked up for a very early breakfast date this morning in NYC.

The singer hit up a 24-hour Cuban diner called Coppelia around 5AM with Real Madrid's Karim Benzema -- a handsome 27-year-old who also plays on the French national team.

The two looked pretty cozy inside the eatery -- but left separately.

But here's the deal ... Rihanna is a HUGE soccer fan and first reached out to Benzema during the 2014 World Cup. They exchanged tweets in which she told him she "felt his pain" -- he replied, thanking her for the support.

So, friends ... or more than friends? They both happen to be single right now ...

Stay tuned.

RG3 is firmly planted in the pro-Steph Curry camp -- when it comes to kids at news conferences -- telling TMZ Sports he plans to follow suit with his own little girl ... when she's old enough.

The Redskins QB and his wife Rebecca welcomed their 1st daughter Reese Ann earlier this month -- so, when we saw him out in D.C. this weekend we had to ask ... is Reese Ann gonna get a Riley Curry moment?

Of course, certain media members have been bitching about Steph's decision to bring Riley to the NBA post-game pressers -- claiming she disrupts the regular process with her adorableness.

But Griffin's all about it ... telling us he'll "for sure" bring her to the podium ... "I just don't want to bring her too early."

By the way, RG3 was attending an event called the House Inc.’s National Capital A Cinderella Ball -- which honors children connected to the military with a disability or life-threatening illness.

Iggy Azalea is officially on her way to becoming Mrs. Swaggy P-- her NBA star boyfriend Nick Young popped the question ... and she said, "Yes!"

It all went down at Nick Young's 30th birthday party Monday night -- with the L.A. Lakers star getting down on one knee and busting out a fat 10 carat yellow diamond ring.

The two started dating back in 2013 -- for their first date, Nick took her to a Target to go shoppping.

From there, they hit it off quickly -- with Nick once taking her home from a club and bragging, "What I'm about to do with this shouldn't be legal!"

Soooo ... congrats!!!

Bruce Jenner would have had his "ass handed to him" if he came out as a transgender woman back in the '90s ... so says someone who spent a lot of time in women's clothing, Dennis Rodman.

The Worm just called in to "TMZ Hollywood Sports" and says he's extremely proud of the way people are accepting Caitlyn ... and says society has come a LOOONG way in just a few short decades.

In fact, Rodman says he specifically remembers spending HOURS trying to talk Sports Illustrated into letting him pose on the cover in women's clothing back in 1995.

Now, Dennis says he thinks Jenner is breaking down some huge barriers for the LGBTQ community -- telling us, "A lot of athletes will come out now and say they're gay. Watch."

And with Caitlyn saying she's still trying to figure out her sexual preference, Rodman has a message for the 65-year-old -- "If you wanna go on a date with me brotha, let me know."

Steph Curry isn't the only NBA superstar taking on LeBron this week ... 'cause Paul George tells TMZ Sports that he might wanna slide into "Space Jam 2" even though it's a role that was fit for the King.

George was out in L.A. recently when we asked about his favorite basketball movies ... and whether or not he'd ever want to step onto the silver screen.

Check out the clip -- George says the one film that might get him to flex his acting skills is "Space Jam 2" -- a flick that's been rumored to be in development for a couple of years now, with LeBron supposedly in the lead role.

General Mills -- the makers of Wheaties -- had an interesting reaction to the passing of Bruce Jenner and the birth of Caitlyn.

As you know, Bruce's image was an iconic box cover for the cereal in 1977 ... one year after he won gold at the Olympics.

We contacted General Mills Monday and asked about their reaction to the new photos, and they told us, "Bruce Jenner continues to be a respected member of Team Wheaties."

We followed up by asking if they acknowledge the presence of Caitlyn and the response was short and to the point: "We stand by our statement."

We were told General Mills has had its statement locked and loaded for a while.

It's interesting ... the company rolled out the box cover in 2012 for a retro campaign celebrating the achievements of Olympic gold medalists, which also included the images of Muhammad Ali and Mary Lou Retton. We don't know if they will use Bruce's image in the future.

Marshawn Lynch just went Beast Mode on his own home aquarium ... getting a custom ultra high-end fish tank installed in his pad ... complete with some of the nastiest fish in the sea.

The Seattle Seahawks star hooked up with the guys from Animal Planet's "Tanked" recently -- who are famous for customizing tanks to their client's personalities.

Lynch's tank is pretty badass -- it's designed in the shape of his Beast Mode logo ... complete with Skittles-colored coral and a Hennessy bottle chillin' inside.

The guys from the show appeared on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" and told us all about it ... and revealed the final product -- and its notoriously angry fishy inhabitants.
