Isn’t this going to be awkward for one of Kobe’s friendships?! We’ve seen Kobe Bryant & Floyd Mayweather show a lot of love for each other over the years — it only makes sense…two of the best at their sports. Well now someone big in Floyd’s camp wants to trademark the name “Black Mamba.” Check out who it is & let us know what you think — who should have it?!
Via TMZ:
There’s a major sports star who’s trying to get the rights to call himself the “Black Mamba” — only it’s not Kobe Bryant, it’s Floyd Mayweather’s uncle … who’s been using the nickname for decades.
Roger Mayweather – a former boxing champ turned trainer — filed a trademark application with the U.S.P.T.O. hoping to win the rights to the mark, “Roger ‘Black Mamba’ Mayweather.”
FYI — Roger says he gave himself the nickname years ago after watching a nature show about reptiles.
According to official documents, Roger is in the final stages of locking down the trademark … which he intends to use to brand his boxing empire (personal training, coaching, etc).
