    Doesn't seem too keen on them. He wants a percentage of the company, I think he's said before. Not that he's hurting. He fights twice this year and he's the highest earning athlete on the planet, generated in two nights and without an endorsement deal. Everybody else that makes the high end of the list is usually endorsing 3 or 4 corporations.

    Eating healthy is overrated to the extent knocking out all bad foods wont make you a superstar. Also people act like mcdonalds is completely devoid of nutrition and thats not true. Mayweathers metabolism is in overdrive because of hos training. Its going to use EVERYTHING in the meal including the sugar. Which scientists are finding is of course beneficial during athletic exercise. I mean fat and sugar equals energy. As lonf as you are constantly on the move as our ancestors were its only helpful.

    I think he can get away with this because he is a true 147 pder... not like a lot of other guys who rehydrate to 154+ or even 160 (clottey/margarito)

    People equate mcdonalds with heroin. When you can get an equally shitty meal in practically any restuarant. Just because you pay 20 dollars for a meal doesnt mean its more nutritious then a 2 dollar cheeseburger.

    Keeping his weight down while eating junk food is not impressive at all! I know plenty of people that do that...They're all gym rats! What is amazing is the fact that he performs at such a high level while eating all that garbage.

    Let the man enjoy his food, works his ass off! When you workout that much it won't matter too much. Although, with age...he will start to become unhealthy from it. Physically and mentally.

    You can get away with eating junk food and still be a star athlete. It's proven. I know this. But it's interesting for me that Floyd would follow this route. Although he has "Randy Moss" like ability, I always thought of him more as a Chris Carter type who was meticulous in his training and diet. Like T.O. and many others who follow a strict training regimen and won't put unhealthy foods in their body.

    You don't see Ferrari telling there costumers to put some shitty gasoline/oil in their cars. Olive Oil > McDonald's grease. One is good for your body, good for your heart, good for your mind....and the other...clogs it up.

    But anyway, I thought it surprising but funny. Even though I some glimpses of it over the years with him eating chips, candy, and soda.

    On that note, many tend to continue to eat the foods they grow up on. Comfort food. And Sometimes it is hard to get those calories in your system. Healthy foods aren't always high in calories and the ones that are, it gets boring I feel to continually eat the same thing.

    But damn...the amount of sugar and grease in your system, short term and long term at this stage of his career....I don't know...not what I would advise. But hey, it is still working for him so........enjoy life the way you want to.

    I'm now off to eat some soft chocolate chip cookies and go to the gym later tonight.

    You guys have a lot to learn about fighters. He's eating a chicken sandwich and fries. Everything isn't just pasta and lettuce or a good steak and veggies.

    You can eat junk food from time to time. Just not regularly.
