Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula and Welcome to Season 08 Episode 64 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Friday morning 08 March 2024.
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Blue Continent.
In rugby union BREAKING NEWS: Sources inside Rugby House say that Fiji Men’s 7s Coach Ben Gollings was sacked last night by the Fiji Rugby Union.
They also say that he will be replaced by Rio Olympics 2016 gold medal-winning Captain Osea Koilnisau who was originally short-listed with Gollings for the job.
In football: Manchester City cruised into the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals with a second-straight 3-1 win over FC Copenhagen, while Real Madrid were pushed all the way by RB Leipzig but narrowly made it through after a 1-1 draw.
In other games, Bayern Munich hammered Lazio 3-0 and PSG beat Real Sociedad 1-2.
In SportsBiz: During 2023, the NFL teams’ total number of posts on social media platforms - X, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube impressions and engagements were tracked and their overall value calculated. As such, the NFL’s overall social media value is estimated to be worth US$1.1Billion.
In rugby league: Sydney Roosters prop Spencer Leniu has pleaded guilty to racially abusing Ezra Mam and issued a public apology to the Broncos young gun, “I want to apologise to Ezra and his family for using the word I did and I am sincerely sorry to cause him such distress,” Leniu said.
The Samoan international is likely facing up to two months on the sideline for calling Mam a “monkey”.
In Combat sports: Francis Ngannou will earn US$20.2Million from his fight against Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia later today. This figure could increase as it doesn't include earnings from pay-per-view sales or any extra bonuses agreed in the contract.
In comparison, Ngannou's biggest UFC payday was after he defeated Ciryl Gane and he took home US$608,000.
Welcome to the big league Francis!
And that’s a wrap!

Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula and Welcome to Season 08 Episode 63 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Thursday morning 07 March 2024.
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Blue Continent.
In rugby union: Fiji defeated Junior Manu Samoa 31–17, to claim the inaugural Oceania Rugby U20s Challenge at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland yesterday.
The young Fijians combined finesse and firepower in a dominant performance and their ability to stay composed under pressure was the difference in the end.
The final was a brilliant display of young Pasifika talent, showing that the future of rugby in the Islands is very bright.
In football: British Police allege Matilda’s Captain Sam Kerr called an officer a “stupid white bastard” in her taxi run-in that has her facing a trial next year.
The Sun is reporting that Kerr made the comment to one of two officers after being sick following a night out amid a dispute over her taxi fare at Twickenham in south west London, in January 2023 but Kerr only faced a London court this week.
The Matildas Captain, who is part Indian and English, denies the allegation.
In SportsBiz: During 2023, the NFL teams’ total number of posts on social media platforms - X, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube impressions, and engagements were tracked and then ranked based on overall value. The report notes that the NFL’s overall social media value is worth US$1.1Billion and the social media value of the Top 5 NFL teams are:
· Eagles: US$52.6M
· Cowboys: US$40.7M
· 49ers: US$39.9
· Chiefs: US$38M
· Steelers: US$32.3M
In rugby league: The 2024 NRL season is off to a flying start with the four teams in Las Vegas putting on a show for fans old and new.
No team is ever perfect in March, but the overall quality on display far exceeded that of typical Round 1 games as the Roosters and Sea Eagles broke patterns of previous seasons to hit the ground running
The Roosters are well known as slow starters, up against 2023 grand finalists Brisbane, expected to be one of the best teams in the NRL this year, the Tricolours played out of their skin in Vegas.
Did you know, Manly had lost nine season-openers in a row before their 36-24 victory over the Rabbitohs in Sin City?
In Combat sports: ON THIS DAY in 1964, less than two weeks after Cassius Marcellus Clay claimed the World Heavyweight boxing title from Sonny Liston, he revealed his new name, Muhammad Ali, along with his conversion to the Nation of Islam.
The new champion said, adopting the new name allowed him to be “freed from the identity given to my family by slave masters.”
It signaled a refusal to conform to American societal expectations of the time - one that would ultimately define his career and legacy.
Ali ultimately refused induction into the US military, upon being selected three years later, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to US participation in the Vietnam War.
Ali’s refusal to be drafted became a high-profile legal case, rising to the US Supreme Court, where his conviction was ultimately overturned.
During this extended saga lasting nearly four years, Ali did not fight as he was denied a boxing license, essentially robbing him of the athletic prime of his mid to late 20s.
But national sentiment steadily turned against American involvement in Vietnam and Muhammad Ali's standing as an influential cultural force in America was cemented in the pages of history.
Rest in Peace Champ.
And that’s a wrap!

Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula and Welcome to Season 08 Episode 44 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Wednesday morning 14 February 2024.
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Blue Continent.
In rugby union: Can the Tongan Thor, Taniela Tupou save the Melbourne Rebels?
While their 2024 future is secure, the Melbourne Rebels could be told they’ll be closing their doors within weeks, after revelations the ailing Super Rugby Club has just A$17,300 in the bank.
The team has entered voluntary administration and auditors from PwC have found they owe over A$20Million, including:
· A$11.6 million in taxes
· A$5.7M to board members
· A$2.8M to suppliers
· A$1.1M in unpaid stadium fees
· A$720,000 to the state revenue office and
· A$250,000 in employee superannuation.
Their assets amount to some office furniture, gym equipment and two cars.
In rugby league: Clubs are unleashing new recruits and naming some of their biggest stars for week one of the NRL Pre-season Challenge.
On Thursday Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs vs Melbourne Storm, 7pm at Belmore Sports Ground.
On Saturday Newcastle Knights vs Cronulla Sharks, 1.45pm and Sydney Roosters vs Manly Sea Eagles, 3.45pm in Gosford.
Parramatta Eels vs Canberra Raiders, 5.55pm and South Sydney Rabbitohs vs St George Illawarra Dragons, 8.05pm at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Sydney.
On Sunday New Zealand Warriors vs Wests Tigers, 2pm in Christchurch.
North Queensland Cowboys vs Brisbane Broncos, 4pm in Mackay.
Finally, the Dolphins vs Gold Coast Titans, 6.15pm at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
In football: Tottenham’s Aussie Manager, Ange Postecoglou is one of the favourites to replace Jurgen Klopp, however the top target for Liverpool is former Reds star and current Bayer Leverkusen Manager Xabi Alonso.
The Reds have reportedly been in discussions with the Spanish legend about the role for more than three months.
In combat sports: Tom Aspinall has cleared the air on his negotiations leading up to UFC300.
As the interim UFC Heavyweight Champion, Aspinall has been campaigning for bouts with the undisputed champion Jon Jones, and his challenger Stipe Miocic.
Only one of those names came up in negotiations, however.
In SportsBiz: History has been made as Super Bowl LVIII now stands alone as the most-watched event in American television history.
The Chiefs’ 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers on CBS drew an average audience in the US of 123.4 million, beating last year’s record Super Bowl draw of 115.1 million by 7%, according to Nielsen

Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula and Welcome to Season 09 Episode 01 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Easter Monday morning 01 April 2024.
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Blue Continent.
In rugby: The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua sit in 7th place on the Super Rugby Pacific ladder on 13 points, one spot below the Rebels who they play this Friday night in Melbourne – a must-win game for both teams.
No doubt Mick Byrne will be pushing his troops hard for one more big effort, before their bye round next weekend, followed by the Hurricanes and Moana Pasifika at home in a back-to-back run which will be critical in determining where the 2024 Fijian Drua end up.
In football: Son Heung-min’s late winner fired Tottenham to a 2-1 win over Luton but Aston Villa beat Wolves 2-0 to retake fourth place in the Premier League.
Meanwhile Man U thought they had done enough to beat Brentford when Mason Mount scored in the 96th minute, only for the hosts to hit back and claim a well-deserved point.
Chelsea remain in the bottom half of the table after they twice blew a lead at home to 10-man Burnley in a 2-2 draw.
In boxing: An errant elbow from Sebastian Fundora in the second round, proved to be Tim Tszyu’s undoing yesterday afternoon, with a deep cut to the Australian’s head, a critical turning point, as the towering American claimed a split decision victory 116-112, 115-113, 112-116 at T Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, to become the new unified World Champion at 154 pounds.
It was Tszyu’s first defeat of his professional career.
Meanwhile in the undercard, fellow Aussie Michael Zerafa vowed to “steal the show”, that he would upset WBA Middleweight Champion Erislandy Lara to become a world champion.
Instead it was the brutal left hand of the Cuban Lara that stopped the Australian in brutal fashion, sending Zerafa crumbling to the canvas in the second round.
In rugby league: The NZ Warriors overcame an early injury blow to secure a 20-12 win over Kalyn Ponga and his Newcastle Knights in Auckland yesterday, with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck starring in his return to the No.1 jersey for the Kiwis, topping the metres run at 278M.
Panthers flyer and Dally M Rookie of the Year 2023, Sunia Turuva has put himself on the open market after negotiations with Penrith fell flat.
The Panthers reportedly tabled A$350,000 per-season, but Turuva, who is without a deal past 2024, could reportedly field offers worth around A$500,000 by rival clubs.

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 07 Episode 12 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Friday morning 13 October 2023.
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
OK here we go - our world famous tips for the RWC2023 quarter-finals: On Sunday at 3AM in Q-F1, we tip Wales to weewillywonka Argentina in Marseille, at 7AM in Q-F2 we tip New Zealand to zuckerberg Ireland in Paris.

Plus Papua New Guinea Kumuls vs Cook Islands and Samoa vs Fiji women at Santos Stadium, Port Moresby.
In Football SportsBiz: France’s Ligue 1 is in the final season of its current media rights deals and wants to boost its financial value exponentially with new contracts.
BeIN Sports currently has Ligue 1’s media rights for broadcasts outside of France, for which it pays US$85Million annually. Ligue 1 would like that number to triple.
In an effort to increase what its games are worth to broadcasters, the league is considering playing regular-season games in the US.
In Combat sports: In huge news for UFC Featherweight King, Alexander Volkanovski, he has been catapulted into a Lightweight title showdown against reigning champion, Islam Makhachev at UFC294 next Sunday.
The Aussie fan favourite comes into the Abu Dhabi event as a late replacement for Brazilian Charles Oliveira, who has been ruled out after being seriously cut during a sparring session.

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 07 Episode 73 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Monday morning 18 December 2023.
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Blue Continent.
In rugby league: With superstar free agent Jarome Luai’s future expected to be settled in the coming days, the market for the remaining crop of elite playmakers is heating up.
The Bulldogs are still in need of a partner for gun five-eighth Matt Burton.
While the Cowboys are also battling to retain their young No.6 who could field offers worth around A$1Million, and the Canberra Raiders could also do with a Jack Wighton replacement.
In rugby union: In a first for Fiji sports, the Fijian Drua has launched its very own travel booking website to make it even easier for fans to attend matches in Fiji, Australia and New Zealand.
Launched in partnership with New Zealand travel technology experts Travel Lab, Fijian Drua Travel is the first of its kind for any Super Rugby side and is a one-stop shop for fans wanting the best packaged deals including flights, accommodation, matchday tickets, matchday hospitality, ground transfers and many other activities.
The website is now live, featuring excellent flight deals with Drua airline partner Fiji Airways as well as leading Fiji resorts and hotels.
In football: Carlo Ancelotti says he is in “no rush” to sign a contract extension with Real Madrid amid continued speculation that Brazil’s national team wants to hire the Italian coach.
Ancelotti’s contract runs out at the end of this season. “There’s no rush. We’re here until 30 June 2024.”
In combat sports: The UFC’s most hated fighter, Colby Covington, failed to live up to his tough talk, flopping in his UFC296 main event loss to UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards.
The American nationalist, who was heavily cheered pre-fight - received boos after he went quiet once he got into the octagon, with Brit, Edwards winning by unanimous decision 49-46 on all three scorecards.
In SportsBiz: The Los Angeles Dodgers pulled out all the stops to land Shohei Ohtani, including a big sales pitch from the late great NBA star Kobe Bryant.
According to ESPN, the Dodgers showed a six-year-old recorded video message from Bryant as part of their pitch to land Ohtani – OK, apart from a 10-year, US$700Million contract.
In 2017, Bryant made the minute-long video for the Dodgers as a favor in pursuit of Ohtani, but he instead signed with the Angels.
But this time, the Dodgers got the highly coveted player and Ohtani spoke highly of the video from the Lakers star, who died in a January 2020 helicopter crash.
“That was one of the highlights of the whole meeting,” Ohtani told ESPN. “I was really surprised to see it. It was a strong and touching message.”
Apparently, that moment became the cherry on top for Ohtani to commit to Los Angeles in the largest contract in professional sports history.
Show me the money! For US$700M I’ll sign anything!
And that’s a wrap!

Kia ora, Talofa, Ma’lelei, Bula, Aloha and Welcome to Season 10 Episode 03 of Breakfast Bites, by TEIVOVOdigital.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on Wednesday morning 03 July 2024 where it is cloudy 22 degrees Celsius at 5am.
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the blue continent.
In Rugby Union: The British Women’s rugby 7s team has been slammed by feminists, led by Women’s tennis legend Martina Navratilova, and fellow British Olympic team members to Paris, for posing in lingerie.
In rugby league: NRL games tomorrow - Parramatta Eels vs South Sydney Rabbitohs, 7:50pm AEST at CommBank Stadium. On Friday: Cronulla Sharks vs Gold Coast Titans, 6pm in Coffs Harbour, Brisbane Broncos vs Penrith Panthers, 8pm at Suncorp Stadium.
And in football – EURO 2024 results this morning: Netherlands 3-0 Romania and in an upset Austria 1-2 Turkiye.
Switzerland, Germany, England, Spain, France and Portugal are already into the quarters; now joined by Netherlands and Turkiye.
In Sports Biz: July 01 every year marks the payment of serious money in ongoing salary deferrals for several former MLB stars including:
Some of these payments are well in excess of the 2024 salaries of many current MLB stars.
Many more deferral payments are forthcoming from current contracts, which provide short-term financial flexibility for teams and longer-term security for players.
All of these contracts, however, pale in comparison to the US$680Million in total deferrals for Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani. The Japanese baseball phenom agreed to set aside US$68Million of his US$70M annual salary to help keep his new team competitive, and he will be paid that money instead between 2034–2043.
At Wimbledon: Andy Murray has withdrawn from Wimbledon due to an ongoing back injury. His game was scheduled to yesterday evening, the latest possible slot on Centre Court, to give the British tennis star a chance of faking it, but it was not to be.
Meanwhile, No. 2 seed Novak Djokovic pulled off a miraculous return, defeating Vit Kopriva, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 in his first match since undergoing surgery on his right knee.
In the Paris Olympic Games: American teenage sprint sensation, Quincy Wilson is set to become the youngest ever US male track Olympian after the 16-year-old has reportedly been picked in the 4×400M relay team for the Olympic Games in Paris.
Wilson’s selection comes after a brilliant debut at the US Olympic Trials last week, where he twice broke the Under-18 400M world record of 44.59 seconds in the semifinals on Sunday, two days after he initially broke the record with a time of 44.66.
In Combat Sports: Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka scored huge salaries at UFC303 with the Brazilian Pereira banking US$3Million plus one of the largest fight bonuses in UFC history, with Dana White awarding Pereira US$303,000 for his successful UFC Light Heavyweight title defence.
Czech fighter Prochazka received a career-best US$1M pay day.
Finally, the BBC has been slammed for posting “Misstiano Penaldo” as the highlight tag of Cristiano Ronaldo’s missed penalty kick in their quarter final against Slovenia yesterday.
“Misstiano Penaldo” – that’s hilarious!

In Sports Biz: July 01 every year marks the payment of serious money in ongoing salary deferrals for several former MLB stars including:
- · Bobby Bonilla who receives US$1.2Million annually from the New York Mets from 2000 until 2035, plus a second deferral agreement with the Orioles at US$500,000 each year from 2004-2028.
- Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. will receive the final US$3.6M from a 16-year deferral agreement with the Reds.
- Manny Ramirez will receive US$2M from the Red Sox as part of a 16-year deferral pact running through 2026.
- Chris Davis will receive US$9.1M from the Orioles as part of deferrals contained within his prior US$161M contract. According to Spotrac, Davis has another US$40M due from the team between now and 2037.
Some of these payments are well in excess of the 2024 salaries of many current MLB stars.

The Australian said on ESPN during the Serbian’s dominant first round win that he would be hitting with the superstar he once used to ridicule on social media, and who beat him in four sets in the 2022 Wimbledon final, but has now formed a bromance with.
“Hitting with Novak tomorrow on his day off. Feel like a little kid again. Feeling excited. Long way back from this surgery,” he posted on social media.
In the Paris Olympic Games: The rugby 7s competition at the Paris Olympic Games 2024 will actually kick off before the Olympic Games officially starts.
Pool games will be played from Wednesday through Friday, with the finals on Saturday after the official opening ceremony.
In Combat Sports: Suspended boxer Ryan Garcia revealed that he 'finally' has a girlfriend before posting pictures with a mystery woman on his X account.
Garcia, 25, is currently serving a year-long suspension from the New York State Athletic Commission after testing positive for performance enhancing drug Ostarine, before his dominant upset over Devin Haney on 20 April.
While his boxing career is on pause, Garcia's dating life remains active, as he claims: 'I finally got a girlfriend that’s dope.'

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 07 Episode 70 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a sunny and bright Thursday morning 14 December 2023.
Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Blue Continent.
In rugby union: Eddie Jones has been named by Japan Rugby Union as their new Head Coach, six weeks after the Australian quit the Wallabies following their dismal showing at the Rugby World Cup 2023.
Jones previously coached Japan for three years from 2012 and led them to their historic win over South Africa at the 2015 World Cup.
In rugby league: BOOM GONE - interim Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson has revealed the merger club have pulled out of the race to sign NZ Warriors superstar Addin Fonua-Blake, “I’ll give you an exclusive, we’ve actually withdrawn our offer for Addin Fonua-Blake,” Richardson said.
He added, “I think he’s a great player, he’s one of the top three front rowers in the game. Our forward pack is really strong, and we can add to that with our young players coming through.”
In football: UEFA Champions League results: Lens 2-1 Sevilla, PSV 1-1 Arsenal, Bayern Munich 1-0 Man U, Copenhagen 1-0 Galatasaray, Napoli 2-0 Braga, Real Madrid 3-2 Union Berlin, Inter 0-0 Royal Sociedad and Benfica 3-1 Salzburg.
In combat sports: UFC President Dana White has poured cold water on Conor McGregor’s UFC comeback, refusing to offer a date for the former champion’s return to the Octagon.
It was announced in February that McGregor would return to competition against Michael Chandler in 2023, though no date was revealed for the bout.
Ten months on, the fight is still up in the air, and White was coy on when asked about the Irishman’s return.
In an interview with TNT Sports, the UFC President said, “At the end of the day... I say it all the time: Conor is extremely wealthy, has a lot of different options in his life. When Conor gets that hunger back and really wants to come back and fight, it’s all up to him.
“If you look at what the guy has accomplished in such a short amount of time, the amount of money that he’s made, and the business opportunities that he’s taken outside of the Octagon, Conor can do whatever the hell Conor wants to do – and good for him.”
And that’s a wrap!
