Meet Hulk, a 17 month old bully pit bull weighing around 175 lbs and he's not even finished growing yet.



The video, which racked up more than a million views in its first week, left many viewers wondering if The Hulk really was the world's largest pit bull. While there is no official size record for pit bulls, many aspects of The Hulk's size are truly amazing. 

First, Dark Dynasty K9's (DDK9), a specialty breeder of large security dogs, credits The Hulk's massive size to his bloodline. The kennel's web site explains the dog's pedigree and traces the Hulk's ancestry back five generations:

"What is a bloodline?" is a very popular question and one that can be debated. To us at DDK it is the ability to create a consistent look. All bloodlines start off by selectively in and out breeding with a number of other bloodlines to create the style you are looking for. In time you should start to see a consistency in the production of the dogs. Here at DDK we are known for XXXL working style American Bullies that stand from any other bloodline by the look and the drive to work and protect. Like all other creators of bloodlines, we have a vision and started the long selective process to say "I have created a look that is different and distinguished". We give full credit to all bloodlines used to create the DDKLINE: Camelot, Petersons, Mcenna, Razors Edge, Gotti, Watchdog, Grayline, Red Lion, Dagger, Chevy...and the list goes on. In the past 8 years of breeding we could fill a whole page with the direct bloodlines used to create DDK in the past 8 years, as well as the bloodlines used to create those bloodlines; and with the proper research all this information is available. By selectively choosing dogs the DDKLINE was born and is here to stay.





While the video of The Hulk may seem incredible, DDK9 has dozens of additional photographs documenting the pit bull's massive size. This dog is only 17 months old and may still be growing. 




The Hulk may look scary, but DDK9 insists he is a sweetheart. The breeder says while its dogs are bred primarily for security, they are also great family dogs.

The fight is expected to be the richest contest in boxing history --  with both pugilists projected to take in well over 100 million dollars.
Good work if you can get it folks ...

Watch Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Chat During Heat Game

Phone numbers, not punches, were exchanged when Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather’s went face-to-face on Tuesday night — not in the ring, of course, but during a chance meeting at a basketball game in Miami.
The two welterweights, who were in attendance for the Milwaukee Bucks win over the Heat, took a couple of minutes during halftime to chat. Both Mayweather and the Pacman appeared to remain cordial during the exchange, despite years of trash talk and accusations in the absence of a deal that would allow the fighters to settle one of modern boxing’s most-debated rivalries.
“It was a private discussion. They had a private, friendly discussion and that’s all I really want to say,” said Michael Koncz, Pacquiao’s adviser, according to ESPN.
During the exchange, the two boxers also swapped phone numbers, indicating that they may begin taking a greater role in negotiating a deal for a potential showdown in early May, according to the Associated Press.
“He gave his number to me and said we will communicate with each other,” Pacquiao told the AP.

18-year-old hacker behind massive bank data theft in China

Police in ‪#‎Guangdong‬ Province have revealed fresh details about a gang of 11 men who were arrested in May last year for stealing the ‪#‎bankcard‬ data of over 1.6 million people.
The ‪#‎gang‬ was led by an 18-year-old, surnamed Ye, who had apparently learned programming on his own and then drifted to a life of ‪#‎hacking‬ and‪#‎crime‬.
The gang reportedly sold the data they stole to a number of online agencies. The data were eventually leaked to those, who, using loopholes in online payment systems, siphoned off an undisclosed amount.
According to the police, the potential amount of money on the cards that could have been stolen is estimated at nearly 1.5 billion yuan ($214 million).

The first breakthrough for the police came in May 2014 when they arrested Ye along with his 10 gang members. At the time, they also found 11 computers and 13 POS machines, among other items.
When searching through Ye’s computer, they found the personal data of over 1.6 million people’s bank cards.
While cracking the case, police have warned people to be cautious while making transactions online.
“Use Ukey and other devices that banks provide to ensure security. They are the strongest in protection. So far, we haven’t found any case of Ukeys being hacked,” Mr. Liao, an official with Guangdong police told CCTV.

The case has sparked a wide ranging debate on Chinese microblogging platform Sina Weibo, with many condemning the poor security system of banks.
“Banks should work on dealing with the loopholes! What are they doing every day?” wrote a user named @Jianghaishan.
Others, meanwhile, are seemingly in awe of the 18-year-old Ye for running such a sophisticated operation: “A genius is a genius if he/she is on the right path, but a scourge if he/she takes the wrong way…” opined a user named @HyunQingl.
