Floyd Mayweather fights his (supposed) final fight Saturday, and with that, boxing will lose its obnoxiously rich sayer of controversial things. That description is also apt for another person who’s been in the news recently: Republican presidential candidate and very-rich controversial guy Donald Trump. In fact, they’re more similar than you think. Given a Trump or Mayweather quote, it’s tough to tell who said what.
