The production value was good, but they were going too hard for that "gritty real" thing and it kinda came off corny at times. It's clear that they were trying to show the real Floyd here - not the **** talking actor that we see on HBO's 24/7 - so in that respect it made things more interesting, but in the end more sad as well. Observations...

1) Miss Jackson is about as fake and full of **** as they come. Honestly Hugh Heffner's "wives" seem to have more validity and that's not much. But she locked in her paper when she got knocked up.

2) It's obvious that most of the "friends" are just moochers hanging around to be part of the party. How many of these guys will be around 20 years from now when there's no more bottles, VIPs and strippers?

3) The one "real" thing Floyd has in his life is boxing and THAT'S IT. The money/attention/friends/women will all go away at some point.

4) Underneath it all is a truly good person who just seems want to be loved (as corny as that sounds). There probably weren't too many hugs from Daddy growing up and he has deeply rooted issues that have never been dealt with. Everything in his life is a mask, a medicine, for the emotional/psychological problems deep inside him.

5) Floyd is his own worst enemy b/c instead of dealing with some of the issues that stem from his childhood, he makes excuses and carries a chip on his shoulder. His legal troubles had nothing to do with him being "black, rich and outspoken" - they have everything to do with him not doing some hard, tough work and fixing himself from the inside out.

OK so most of us knew this **** already. But even the biggest *****s should be able to see it more clearly in this documentary than any episod eof 24/7. HBO's show is just an extended trailer - a bunch of quick jump cuts and flashy slow motion shots. But this documentary was different, the production team just sat back and filmed. You get to see real interaction between Floyd and the people in his life. Just observe that **** and you see how unnatural and AWKWARD much of it is.

It's tragic in a way b/c the guy had so much money so early in his life that he was able to mask all of his issues and still live comfortably (albeit in a fake way), where as most of us have to work on ourselves and "grow up" to become men. In some ways, Floyd just never had to go thru some of the processes most of us had to because of the "money". That's ultimately all the dude is... money.

Sounds like Floyd is living paycheck to paycheck. If doesn't get smart with his money soon he will be broke and really alone. making 40-80million dollars per fight and have money trouble is just flat out ridiculous.

funny how so many people are trying to psychoanalyze him. You guys don't know floyd on a deep level so your dubious speculations are meaningless.

Why weren't Pacquaio fans (aka Mayweather haters) giving him this much attention during his 24/7s? It's embarrassing.

Why would people say he has money trouble? You see a rich man spending money and all of a sudden you like he going broke!? Floyd is a lot smarter than people give him credit for, you don't become the highest paid athelete by accident.
