Floyd Mayweather and Andre Berto just got owned ... by Showtime, which is now gunning for anyone who tries to lure viewers away from the pay-per-view channel.

It ain't Martina. It's not Steffi ... Andre, Pete or McEnroe -- the greatest player to ever step on the tennis court is SERENA WILLIAMS ... so says Billie Jean King.

In the past, Billie has raved about Serena's potential ... saying she has what it takes to be #1.

TMZ Sports has obtained the Cameron Jordan police report -- in which one witness claims the New Orleans Saints player stated in the nightclub, "I can have any bitch that I want."

Jordan is under investigation for allegedly slapping a woman's ass at Republic nightclub in N.O. and then spraying her and her boyfriend with champagne in an aggressive manner.

According to the police report, the accuser's boyfriend told cops he confronted Jordan about his disrespectful actions toward his GF in the restroom -- and that's when Jordan said, "I can have any bitch that I want."

The BF says he told Jordan, "She was not a bitch. She's my girlfriend."

The man claims Jordan condescendingly asked, "How much do you weigh? 180?"

The BF told him he weighed 190 -- and that's when Jordan allegedly picked him up and "held him high in the air against his will while passersby took pictures."

Cops were notified and began investigating and the sex crimes unit was contacted to look into the alleged ass slap.

11:42 AM PT -- The Kern County D.A.'s office tells us Phillips has NOT been charged with sexual assault and there is no pending sexual case against him.

Translation -- the sexual assault kit must have not shown any signs of a sexual assault.

Another shocking twist in the Lawrence Phillips murder case ... TMZ Sports has learned officials believe the victim may have been sexually assaulted around the time he was killed.

The former NFL running back has already been charged with 1st degree murder in the April 11th death of his cellmate at Kern Valley State Prison ... where Phillips was already serving time for a plethora of other crimes.

But an incident report obtained by TMZ Sports shows officials administered a sexual assault kit on the victim in the days following the murder.

We spoke with officials involved in the murder investigation who tell us a sexual assault kit is NOT a standard operating procedure with murder victims at KVSP -- "There would have to be a reason to believe [a sexual assault occurred]. Some evidence or something else."

It's unclear what the sexual assault kit turned up -- or if prosecutors plan to charge Phillips with a sex crime.

Great news for Ronda Rousey -- one the stars of the original "Road House" says he's PUMPED the UFC champ will star in the remake ... saying it's the perfect way to honor Patrick Swayze.

We spoke with Marshall Teague -- who played Jimmy (the kung fu bad guy) in the 1989 flick. Jimmy was the guy who had his THROAT RIPPED OUT by James Dalton (Swayze) during the lake fight.

Now, with Rousey tapped to star in the reboot -- Teague says Ronda is the PERFECT lead.

"Adding Ronda is a great idea. You don't want to try to rebuild Patrick Swayze. He was a unique talent and can't be duplicated."

Teague adds, "Ronda knows it's not going to be easy. Fans of the original might question her, but we all know she will do great."

As for Ronda, she issued a statement saying, "It is a great honor to play a part in celebrating the life of a man that inspired so many. I couldn't be more grateful to have this opportunity to pay respect to the beloved Patrick Swayze."

Just because Wladimir Klitschko moved in with his baby mama and fiancee Hayden Panettiere doesn't mean he gets control of the decor ... which is why the boxing champ sleeps in a pretty pink bedroom.

Check out the pics from Domino.com featuring the Nashville pad Hayden and Wlad share ... complete with a queen size master bed -- shocking considering he's 6'6" and 245 lbs (then again, she probably doesn't take up much space).

Wlad does have his own man cave -- a "music room" complete with a couch where the arms open up into insulated beer coolers.

The love affair between The Donald and The Brady continues ... despite Brady sorta backing off his endorsement of the presidential candidate.

As we previously reported, Brady was rockin' a Trump campaign hat in his locker the other day -- but when asked if he'd VOTE for Trump, Brady hedged and said he hadn't made up his mind.

Russell Wilson did the impossible ... he just found a way to make Ciara's famous ass look even better -- put it in a lakeside mansion with killer views.

TMZ Sports has learned the Seahawks QB plunked down $6.7 million (of his new $88 mil contract) for the crib overlooking Lake Washington in Bellevue, WA -- and the place is insane!

Good news for ex-Atlanta Hawks player Pero Antic -- TMZ Sports has learned officials are DROPPING the case against him for his role in that violent clash with NYPD officers back in April.

As we previously reported, Antic and his ATL teammate Thabo Sefolosha were both arrested outside 1 OAK nightclub on April 8th ... in the melee that ensued after another NBA player (Chris Copeland) was stabbed nearby.

Cops say both Pero and Thabo refused to leave the crime scene -- and the situation escalated with both NBA players ultimately getting arrested for disorderly conduct and obstructing authorities. At the time, cops said Pero had gotten physical with one of the arresting officers.

Cops investigated the incident ... and we're told officials are now convinced Pero was trying to DEFUSE the situation.

As one source puts is ... while Sefolosha was resisting arrest, Pero was trying to tell him to calm down and do what the officer said. When Pero grabbed the officer's shoulder, officials don't believe it was in an aggressive manner and the cop was not injured.

Bottom line -- Pero's off the hook.

As for Sefolosha ... a trial date has been set for October 5th. Thabo says he suffered serious damage to his leg at the hands of the arresting officers.

Floyd Mayweather doesn't really have a solution for his big ticket catastrophe -- saying he's merely crossing his fingers and hoping that sales go up for his retirement fight with Andre Berto.

Floyd faced the media Tuesday -- where he was asked straight up if he was worried about the shocking lack of interest in the Sept. 12th bout ... with thousands of tickets still unsold.

"I just try to stay positive and keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best," Mayweather said.

Floyd then kicked the question over to Mayweather Promotions CEO, Leonard Ellerbe -- who said the slow sales are NOT concerning at all ... "normal business."

Yeah, maybe for most people ...

Today in Ridiculous Donald Sterling Lawsuits -- Donald sues over an oil painting of HIMSELF that he claims an old friend took and won't give back ... seriously.

Yup, the disgraced former L.A. Clippers owner claims his former female "friend" Maiko Maya King took several items from him in 2014 when she had access to his home ... and refuses to give them back.

Among the items ... an oil painting of Sterling, an envelope with $10,000 cash (hmmm ... ) and a hearing aid with a special battery.

Oh, and in the court docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Sterling argues that his painting is worth ... get this ... $10,000!!!!! (Who the hell would ever pay for that?).

It's the question everyone wanted to ask ... and Matt Lauer finally did -- does Caitlyn Jenner golf from the women's tee ... or the men's?

It's an interesting question considering Bruce Jenner (when Caitlyn was Bruce Jenner) was a beast on the links ... and had a reputation for RIPPING tee shots.

But during their golf course interview on the "Today" show Wednesday -- Caitlyn states the obvious ... she's a lady, and therefore plays from the women's tee.

Matt playfully objected, saying it was unfair ... so Cait offered to play from "the tips" (the furthest tee) ... essentially bragging that she'd beat Matt's ass from anywhere on the course.

UFC legend Chuck Liddell says watching a Floyd Mayweather fight is a SNOOOOOZEFEST ... telling TMZ Sports he can't stand bouts where guys aren't trying to destroy each other.

Chuck was at the Arclight Theater in L.A. when he told us he respects Floyd -- "he makes a lot of real good guys looks stupid" -- but says his fighting style basically puts him to sleep."

"I'm not a big fan of guys that go out and just score enough points to win a round, Chuck says ... "I wanna watch a guy go out and try to take someone out."

Donald Trump tried to stay eyes wide open on one of the highlights of the U.S. Open Tuesday, but he put a lid on it.

D.T. dozed off as he watched Serena Williams beat big sister Venus.

NY Mets superstar Yoenis Cespedes channeled his inner Xzibit ... and PIMPED THE HELL out of his new ride -- a custom built 3-wheeled beast that he's now trying to sell.

Cespedes hooked up with Alex Vega from The Auto Firm in Miami to design a 2015 Polaris Slingshot ... which they stripped down to the studs and rebuilt with custom everything.

The end result is pretty cool ... a sick Avorza sound system, crazy lower LED lights that turn the street blue, a turbo kit for extra power and a special Avorza air ride suspension.

We're told Yoenis' MLB contract prevents him from driving the car -- but he loves designing custom rides and figured it would be a fun project.

Now the guys are selling the whip -- asking price is $75k.

A bunch of hardbodied female bodybuilders showed that Muscle Beach is as much about buns as it is guns ... glutin' it up all over Venice Beach, Ca for a Labor Day bikini body showdown.

The ladies strutted their stuff at the 7th annual Muscle Beach Championship and bikini competition this past Monday and from the looks of these pics ... it was a really cheeky competition.
