He gave up sex with his girlfriend Blac Chyna for WEEKS ... but J'Leon Love's vow of celibacy paid off BIG TIME 'cause he won his fight Sunday ... and now Blac Chyna is ready to rumble at home!

As we previously reported, Love -- a member of Floyd Mayweather's "The Money Team" -- swore off sex for more than a month so he could focus on fighting Jason Escalera in Vegas.

Well, he won the fight in the 7th round ... but he wasn't able to collect his real prize right after the fight ... 'cause his GF was out of town (in Pittsburgh) on business.

But sources close to B.C. tell us ... "She plans on seeing him this week, and when she does he is going to be very VERY happy. He will get the big win again."

Sooo .... congrats!

It pays to be #1 ... just ask Golden State Warriors superstar Klay Thompson -- who celebrated his NBA championship with a 2-on-1 underwater twerk session at a Vegas pool party.

It all went down at the Liquid Pool Lounge party at the Aria ... where Thompson and a bunch of his teammates let loose ... poppin' champagne and dancing with hot ladies.

But the highlight ... when Klay and two female friends hit the pool and got their grind on!

Afterward, Klay made a video with two OTHER ladies ... while slamming Moet.

Wonder what the Cavs are up to?

Big weekend for Philadelphia Eagles running back DeMarco Murray ... who married his longtime girlfriend -- and then announced she's PREGNANT!!

Marco tied the knot to Heidi Mueller -- his longtime girlfriend and mother of his 2-year-old daughter -- at the Four Seasons in Dallas.

And during the festivities ... Heidi also announced she's pregnant with their 2nd child!

Here's video of international soccer superstar Paul Pogba trying to pull off a funky flowered shirt in Hollywood Sunday night.

Our resident couture fashion expert (Anna) says flowered shirts are "in" right now.

Our resident Jersey Shore fashion expert (Babcock) says it looks like someone fired paintballs at the shirt and it sucks.

Our resident hipster fashion expert (Brian McDaniel) says it looks like something a millennial would wear. So pretty much it sucks.

But we can all agree on one thing -- he probably paid A LOT of money for it.

Here it is ... the $400,000 engagement ring Dallas Cowboys star Orlando Scandrick gave to Draya Michele ... 7-carats strong!

Boom!

As we previously reported, Scandrick popped the question to the "Basketball Wives L.A." star ... roughly one month after they broke up -- using one hell of an olive branch.

Draya said "Yes" ... we're guessing the insane piece of jewelry designed by Jason of Beverly Hills helped do the trick ... and now the couple is on track to tie the knot after 2 years of dating.

One year after trashing the U.S. Men's soccer team, Swedish soccer superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic has returned to America ... wearing a NY Yankees hat.

Zlatan -- one of the most famous soccer players on the planet -- hit up Craig's in West Hollywood Sunday for a romantic date night with his girlfriend Helena Seger.

On the way out, we asked the outspoken 33-year-old how he felt about the global FIFA scandal -- to which he responded, "It's not my area my friend ... I play soccer."

Then he laughed.

It's the first time we've seen Zlatan back in L.A. since last summer ... when he told us the U.S. soccer teams "a big joke."

Three different BILLIONAIRES have thrown their hats in the ring to buy Floyd Mayweather's $3.8 MILLION Ferrari ... so says Floyd's car guy ... but the buyers have all asked for special favors to "sweeten the deal."

We broke the story ... Floyd put his ultra-rare Ferrari Enzo up for sale last week -- and now, his personal car dealer at Fusion Luxury Motors, Obi Okeke, tells us the response has been INSANE!

"People have been calling from all over the world ... countries like Australia, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, India, South Africa, Nigeria and the United States."

But the best part of the story ... Okeke says several people have made full-price offers -- but they each come with interesting caveats.

"I got some crazy request from a 60-year-old man who wants to buy the car -- but only if he can lace up some gloves and spar in the ring with Floyd in his gym."

Here's a list of some of the other requests coming from people who made a full-price offer:

-- Buyer wants a 1-on-1 dinner with Floyd
-- Buyer wants a video shoot with Floyd and the car
-- Buyer wants Floyd to make himself available to take a picture with buyer's entire family

Okeke says 3 of the potential buyers are people who have made Forbes' Billionaires List ... though he says he's going to keep the names private for now.

He was the target of some of Donald Sterling's most racist and disgusting comments -- but Magic Johnson says he's forgiven the former Clippers owner ... telling TMZ Sports, "I don't keep grudges."

Not only did Sterling single Johnson out in his racist rant to V. Stiviano and order her not to be seen with Magic or any black people at Clipper games ... but he went on to say he's a terrible role model because he has HIV.

Johnson handled the whole thing with crazy amounts of class at the time -- but now that a year has passed ... we wanted to know how he feels about Sterling now .

Rob Gronkowski is a championship football player ... sometimes we forget, because it seems all he does is dance.

Gronk let loose at The Underground in Chi Town Friday night, sharing DJ honors with DJ Dante as he sang and danced with family and friends.

Gronk's in the Windy City for the Nascar Xfinity Series Race at the Chicagoland Speedway. He's the Grand Marshall.

Former NFL superstar Asante Samuel is jumping in the rap game ... starting his own record label ... and he tells TMZ Sports he has his eyes on an ex-teammate with RIDICULOUS rhyme skills.

Samuel -- a 4-time Pro Bowler and one of the best CBs of his era -- recently launched the Eighties Nation record company ... which he hopes will make some cash ... and a difference in his hood.

"I saw it as a way to help people get out of our hood and give them jobs and a way to stay out of jail."

Samuel says he's got big plans for his company -- and he's taking his cues on how to grow the business from some of the biggest names in hip hop.

"Jay Z, Cash Money ... I study all of them and I look up to those people."

As for his roster, Samuel says he's got some serious talent with guys like TeeStunna and TeeJay out of Ft. Lauderdale ... but the next guy he signs might be a guy who's STILL in the NFL.

"My guy Willy Mo (DB for the Atlanta Falcons). I would sign Will Moore when his playing days are over if he's serious about it."

Check out Willie (and Asante's) rhyming skills below ... you be the judge.

Golf legend John Daly tells TMZ Sports he's rededicating himself to the sport ... and it's all because of a 15-year-old rising sensation who Big John calls "a complete inspiration."

The up-and-comer is Cole Hammer ... who captured the attention of the golf world this week when he cried before his 1st shot because he was overcome by the moment.

"It reminds me about everything the sport has done for me," Daly says ... "and quite frankly drives me to get off my ass and play more."

Hammer is the 3rd youngest player to ever compete in the U.S. Open -- and Daly says the kid's determination is truly inspiring.

How bad do the New York Yankees want A-Rod to have his 3,000 hit ball back? So bad that the team is offering a smorgasbord of AWESOME pinstriped-themed goodies ... so says the guy who caught it.

We spoke to Zack Hample ... the lucky dog who snagged A-Rod's historic dinger, and he tells us the Yanks made an incredible offer to him the minute the MLB authenticated his ball.

According to Hample the deal included ...

- Seats in the "Legends" section of Yankees stadium

- A personal meeting with A-Rod

- His own press conference with the media

- Appearances on the YES network for the rest of the season

- A "sizable" donation" to the charity of Hample's choice (with A-Rod to match the donation)

FYI -- sitting in the swanky "Legends" section of Yankees stadium is a big deal, with tickets running up to $1,500 per game ... and include gourmet food and drinks for the whole 9 innings.

Hample says it ain't just the Yanks who want the ball -- with multiple auction houses and collectors offering big cash for the rock -- but he hasn't made up his mind about what to do with it just yet.

Rihanna partied with her new boyfriend and the old one who beat her.

It seemed like just another night at Henry's in West Hollywood Saturday at 12:52 AM when Rihanna showed up. Then -- 3 minutes later -- Chris Brown shows up and walks inside. There's no sign of Rihanna's new BF, soccer star Karim Benzema.

Fast forward to 2:01 AM. Chris leaves the club. Exactly 1 minute later, Rihanna makes her exit. And then, at 2:04 AM, Karim surfaces and leaves the club.

More trouble for Warren Sapp ... the NFL Hall of Famer has been named a suspect in a domestic violence investigation in Las Vegas ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... a report has been filed against Sapp in which the 42-year-old is accused of getting into a physical altercation with a woman in a casino on April 28th.

We're told cops met with the alleged victim at a different location after the incident and took a report ... though Sapp was not present at that time. Law enforcement sources tell us the woman appeared to have suffered minor injuries.

Our sources tell us Sapp has NOT been arrested or charged with a crime at this point ... though cops are still investigating.

It's just the latest legal problem for Sapp ... who was arrested for soliciting and assaulting two prostitutes in Arizona back in February.

We reached out to Sapp for comment ... so far, no word back.

File this one under, "Duhhhh" ... but Travis Barker says dating smoking hot UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste is "awesome."

Yep.

We broke the story ... the two have been dating for several months and are still going strong. So, when we saw the rock star in Calabasas yesterday, we had to get the update.

The good news ... dating a ridiculously attractive hard-bodied model is everything it's cracked up to be.

Bieber has one ... so does Jamie Foxx and Chris Brown -- but the guy who ignited the biggest sales boom of those new 2-wheeled scooters is Cavs star J.R. Smith ... TMZ Sports has learned.

It's called the PhunkeeDuck -- a foot-controlled motorized scooter -- and Smith was often seen zooming around on one during the NBA Finals ... watched by roughly 18.5 million people.

We spoke with PhunkeeDuck founder Max Waxman who tells us sales exploded thanks to the NBA Finals exposure ... "We did almost as many in sales as we had done in the prior 5 or 6 weeks."

And that's HUGE considering Bieber had been showing off his PhunkeeDuck to his 30 million Instagram followers and Foxx had brought his on "The Tonight Show."

"The exposure J.R. got us helped a tremendous amount. To have the whole NBA Finals audience see and talk about our product made a huge difference."
