    Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather Promotions CEO:

    First of all, nobody is going to go back and forth about one's religious beliefs because there's only one that can judge us all. As far as Floyd not selling in Grand Rapids, let me set the record straight.

    After Floyd won the title from Genaro Hernandez 15 years ago, when he first went to Grand Rapids to defend the title against Carlos Rios, the fight was a complete sellout in 90 minutes with over 12,700 in attendance, and there were all kinds of fire marshal issues because there were so many people standing in the aisles. I know because I was there. And for the record, Floyd wasn't responsible for promoting or marketing any of his fights in those days. He was under someone else's banner. But one thing's for sure, once he gained control and became his own boss, the enormous record-breaking pay-per-view and box office numbers speak for themselves, making him the highest paid athlete in sports today.

    As far as Broner is concerned, it's simple: it's a big brother/little brother mutual admiration and nothing anybody says is going to interfere with that. I think Andre Ward is an excellent fighter and I wish him the best. He can root for Guerreo all he wants, but the outcome will be the same with Floyd whooping that ass anD Floyd taking a Brinks truck home full of money that night. We won't be talking about this anymore because we gotta stay focused and take care of our business at hand, which is this huge pay-per-view event on May Day

    "We won't be talking about this anymore because we gotta stay focused."


    In other words, Floyd knows he shouldn't have said what he did over something so small.

    What I find interesting about this is it's not typical Floyd mind games, he went after a popular black fighter who has a manger who is loved in the South, he really should focus on the fight I've said Floyd won't retire undefeated and not taking a fight seriously is a great way for that to happen.

    When Leonard Ellerbe speaks, he ethers people. He hits people with the truth in a professional way.

    Amazing how the highest paid athlete in sport and number 1 P4P boxer in the world can be so insecure.

    He was the ****ing one that started it! :lol:


    Just Floyd being his contradictory, rude self.

    Floyd = Great fighter, **** human being.

    (no photo op of him throwing turkeys at poor people will convince me otherwise

    Mayweather's problem is he's incredibly insecure, it's why he avoids genuine threats in the ring, and lashes out randomnly either verbally or physically...

    He mentions Ward's gold medal as it's blatantly obvious he is insecure about just having a bronze...pathetic man

    My goodness, Floyd is pathetic :lol:.

    His hatred clouds his common sense, and has only gone and gave Andre Ward a bit of limelight.

    :lol: before he lost to Balomir.

    Williams, Cotto circa 2008, Margarito, Martinez etc

    Half of those fighters were called b class - by Floyd himself!

    P4p No 1 fights Ortiz, Marquez a weight class above him, Hatton wasnt even a welter :nut
