Floyd Mayweather will do anything to beat Manny Pacquiao ... even subject himself to -220 degree nitrogen gas during Cryotherapy sessions ... intended to heal his body.

TMZ Sports spoke to David Levi ... owner of SubZero Recovery in Vegas ... who tells us Floyd makes daily ... and sometimes nightly ... trips to his business for the insanely cold therapy.

The Cryo sessions last 90 seconds to 3 minutes ... and according to Levi, it helps to enrich blood, expel toxins and also does a bunch of other cool stuff.

"Floyd comes in every day," Levi said, "I'm used to getting calls at 3 or 4AM with Floyd asking me to open the facility so he can use the machine."

As for the misery of sitting in -220 degree cold ... "Floyd hates getting in, but he knows what it does for him, so he tolerates it."

The WWE is cashing in on Eddie "Hot Stuff" Gilbert even though he's been dead for 20 years ... at least according to his family, which is dragging the league to court to get a cut of the action.

According to docs ... Eddie's dad, Tommy Gilbert, is in charge of the estate and says the WWE is plastering his son's image and likeness all over TV and other media platforms without permission -- and, more importantly, without paying them a dime.

Tommy says old wrestling footage of Eddie -- a pro from '79 until his death of a heart attack in '95 -- is being used to promote the WWE.

Interestingly, Eddie's fam isn't suing to block use of the footage -- they just want a judge to force the WWE to fork over a share of its profits, plus damages.

A WWE rep tells us, "Through the years, WWE has acquired the legal rights to library footage of various former wrestling organizations including Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Mid-Southern Wrestling among many others. WWE has made substantial investments to acquire these copyrighted works and has the legal right to use them."

Larry King made a strong case for green-lighting HGH in baseball.

King was leaving Craig's in WeHo Saturday night when our photog asked about the hormone.

King clearly thinks the ban is ridiculous, comparing it to aspirin. Larry seems to think of HGH more as a healing Rx than a fountain of youth drug.

Larry also reveals how long he's been on the pill ... and it's a LONG time.

The Game is in chill mode, temporarily hanging up his basketball jersey and definitely staying clear of cops on the court.

Game's had his troubles lately on the hardwood ... he punched an off-duty cop during a game last month after the 2 got into it. The cop sued, and Game allegedly attacked a member of the team that served him with the lawsuit. Police are also investigating the incident.

Floyd Mayweather's camp has a message for Manny Pacquiao -- enjoy your "Mayweather" punching bag while you can ... 'cause it's the ONLY way you're gonna beat up on Floyd's face.

The bag was a gift from boxing super fan and legendary attorney Robert Shapiro (from O.J. Simpson fame) ... who commissioned the piece from a popular artist.

We spoke with a bunch of guys from The Money Team who tell us Floyd got a good laugh out of the bag -- but made one thing clear, it's only fueling Floyd's anti-Pacquiao fire.

People make some funny faces when they're firing a baseball at 90-miles-per-hour -- and thankfully, their hilarious expressions were captured on camera for your cyber enjoyment!

Britt McHenry's getting no sympathy from fellow female sports media star Jillian Barberie -- who tells TMZ Sports what the ESPN reporter did was "horrible" ... and she needs a serious attitude adjustment, stat.

Jillian -- who worked on the "NFL on FOX" for 10 years -- was out at Craig's last night and told us she knows what it takes to make it in the industry and would NEVER have been so disrespectful.

"I think it's horrible. You have to be gracious," Barberie said ... "Be nice to the people that are helping you out."

L.A. Kings superstar Jarret Stoll -- boyfriend of Erin Andrews -- was arrested in Vegas on suspicion on drug possession ... for allegedly bringing cocaine and ecstasy to a Vegas pool party.

According to local reports, 32-year-old Stoll was busted Friday at the Wet Republic pool party at the MGM Grand.

Stoll was reportedly taken into custody by the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. Unclear if Andrews was with him at the time.

Stoll was taken to Clark County Detention Center -- where he was booked. He was released on a $5,000 bail.

Stoll was clearly in Vegas to unwind after the Kings were eliminated from contention from the NHL playoffs.

The Kings have issued a statement saying, "We are aware of police reports out of Clark County, Nevada regarding Jarret Stoll."

Not everyone at ESPN wants Britt McHenry back on the air -- with several employees (including on-air talent) telling us plain and simple -- "She should have been fired."

We spoke with a whole bunch of ESPN employees ... from producers to production people and even famous faces ... and not one person said they're down with the 1-week suspension.

One high level producer tells us, "She's the worst. Hopefully she'll be fired soon."

Another person told us, "[What she did] reflects on all of us at ESPN. She will be fired soon. If not, I'll be shocked."

"She came off more than rude in that clip. It seems like she needs some humble pie," says another ESPN staffer ... "[ESPN] can find a million Britt McHenrys to replace her."

One famous ESPN'er (who also didn't want to be named) told us, "Put it like this, she's replaceable."

Steven Seagal nearly ended Luke Rockhold's fighting career earlier this year -- when he executed his legendary "death touch" on the UFC fighter ... who admits, "He put me on notice!!!"

Rockhold -- who's fighting Lyoto Machida at "UFC Fight Night" Saturday -- told us all about the run in with Seagal in Vegas back in January ... where he got straight up OWNED!

FYI -- Seagal is no joke, the guy is a real life martial arts expert -- a 7th-dan black belt in Aikido.

Check out the pic below -- you can tell by Luke's face, he wasn't messin' around!!!

Aaron Hernandez's jail I.D. has been rejected again -- with Cragslist banning the sale of the item ... so now the seller is trying his luck on Mark Zuckerberg's turf.

As we previously reported ... the guy who currently has the I.D. says he happened to come across the item during his stint at Suffolk County Jail, where Hernandez arrived in July 2014.

He tried selling it on eBay, but the site killed the auction. Then he moved it to Craigslist, which also shut him down. So, now he's moved to Facebook ... where he's upped the asking price to $6,000.

His sales pitch -- "Act fast who knows how long this may be posted up."

Here's UFC fighter Conor McGregor ... showing off some pretty insane core strength on the rings on the beach in Santa Monica.

UFC badass Paige VanZant stripped down to her hot pink bikini ... and got face-to-face with Felice Herrig moments ago ... for some half-naked smack talk before they square off tomorrow.

It all went down in New Jersey -- where the women will battle it out in the octagon at "UFC Fight Night" on FOX.

Both women weighed in at 115 lbs ... both are 5'4" ... and both have insane physiques.

Legendary boxing promoter Don King is recovering from kidney stone surgery ... TMZ Sports has learned.

A rep for the World Boxing Commission confirmed King was hospitalized ... after doctors located several kidney stones in the 83-year-old's body.

We're told he's recovering at the hospital -- surgery went well and he's doing fine.

King was recently out in public to speak at an event at Howard University on March 28th and seemed fine.

Brooklyn Beckham is developing quite a following on social media, but he's nowhere close to his father David ... which pops was sure to remind him of ... in the most embarrassing way possible.

The video's hysterical ... 16-year-old Brooklyn posted an Instagram video to celebrate crossing the one million line. David just had to poke his head in and put his son in his place ... by reminding him that 52 million people follow him on Facebook. BTW, David inflated it by 2 mil.

Brooklyn's reaction is classic.

ESPN reporter Britt McHenry has been invited to partner up with the minor league baseball team in her hometown -- to give an anti-bullying speech to 1,000 elementary school kids ... TMZ Sports has learned.

After ESPN suspended McHenry for a week for going off on an impound lot attendant -- the Brevard County Manatees in Florida reached out to McHenry to come out to the park as their guest field reporter.

In addition to the reporting gig, the Manatees -- the A-Advanced affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers -- wants Britt to attend one of the team's "Education Days" on April 22nd to "discuss the importance of anti-bullying to an audience of 1,000 local elementary school students."
