    Here's a few positives for those who worry about Mayweather and his future

    - his children seem to be well-adjusted, happy, well-behaved, healthy and nice, and they seem to love their father. With a father like him, you'd think they would be spoilt brats, but they're not. We may not get to see what Mayweather is like behind closed doors with his kids, but since his kids are good and since they clearly love him, he cannot be that bad a father, can he?

    - his mother is alive and looks healthy and she loves him and he loves her too! He seems a good son.

    - Unca Roger and that weirdo Ellerbe really care about him and will always be there for him. He inspires love and affection is his closest friends, so he cannot be wholly rotten!

    Mayweather will always have his family. Once the money runs out, the hangers on, the leeches, the Ms Jacksons and the hoes will disappear, and Mayweather will become a happier person because he will still have his kids who love him, and close friends like Ellerbe, the guys who work his corner and the guys running the gym, his mum and his uncle. And, as long as he stays healthy, that's all that matters, right?

    Floyd is insecure and he does make bad choices, he is a lonely and pathetic figure when he is with his crew and with the hoes, and he may not be that wise, but he's got the basics right: family is the most important thing and if you have your health, any of the material things are just a bonus.:good

    What a post! :deal:good
    It's the last paragraph that does it!

    He will continue to be like this at least until his boxing career is over. The way he is living life, his people-pleasing tendencies, hedonism to take the edge off the pressures of boxing will continue.

    Then he's going to start focusing on his life, and he'll grow more. There's a good chance he'll be broke or almost broke.

    If he changes any aspect of his character now, then he might lose his boxing ability (mentally). That's probably why some people are letting him do what he needs to do to succeed and attain this super human level of greatness, and they're not 'correcting' him. After all, they know boxing is more important to Floyd than anything else.

    He has a LOT of issues to overcome, or else he will spend himself broke and he'll go downhill. Where is Roger Mayweather's money from his career earnings I wonder? Even still, Floyd Sr wasn't Roger's dad, Floyd Sr had given his son a gift, but also mental issues that he needs to overcome. Let's just hope he doesn't hit the bottle after his career is over.

    Just look at the likes of naz and lewis who still have their wealth. Naz in his time probably spent his money just as wildly as floyd, the guy lives like a king in dubai. When his cusson was talking he spoke about how when they first moved to vegas, in their 20s, they used to go out wild but now their alot smarter, and with time floyd has changed and knows how to do things. Floyd has been making real money since 08, when he was 30 plus, the guy knows how to and how not to spend his money.

    This sounds about right.....I think I can pass on seeing this one. The fight on the other hand won't get the same treatment. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Floyd show out. i think with Rob in front of him he'll be looking unstoppable and will look to take some chances against a limited foe. Think Gatti/Floyd.:bbb

    They're well-adjusted etc. right now, but right now they're most likely quite spoilt as Mayweather spoils his groupies and women.
    If Mayweather turns broke, it may mess with their threshold for happiness and they could grow up with depression issues.

    He'll always have Roger (who is going through a mental decline), I don't know enough about Ellerbe on a personal level. He'll make new friends too when he retires. He has his family i.e cousins, aunts etc. That's a good solid basis.

    Ms Jackson without a doubt wouldn't be there for Floyd if he lost his money, that's one thing for CERTAIN.

    I wonder what MVC thinks of this video

    Nah, his kids don't seem spoilt at all. They have an upper-middle class/upper class upbringing, in good schools, etc. They will be ok.

    Ms Jackson is just there to play the role of his woman. He clearly doesn't feel affection for her and he is clearly not attracted to her. He'll be out of the picture in a year or two, imo, even before he retires.

    It was flashy but devoid of genuine substance about the man but man he tries to sound tries to sound like a wise man. It was one of the poorest representations yet. Floyd seems like a very hollow man outside of boxing with a fairly hollow lifestyle if this video is anything to go by.

    I also had an ethical problem with the building him up as a hero when the theme of the whole show was about him going to jail for a misdemeanor. The man didn't even serve the full sentence and at the end he is talking like how hard and life changing prison is. What about him giving drake a lecture on success and drakes holding in his laughter

    Just hype the fight the normal way, save the documentary life struggle **** for real stories

    just watched it, basically a floyd propaganda video

    h'e so sharing and just wants to give and entertain he went jail with no evidence he's a normal person great dad blah blah blah

    u got the scene with him giving advice to Drake where he says turn tha camera off cause its private yet it still made final cut...

    his actress supposed fiance not bothered and cant squeeze a tear out when he's off to jail but has her hand out to receive her final wad of cash... nicely edited but clearly created to paint floyd positively but only succeeds in exposing insecurities and hangers on...

    F**k all this and lets just see the fight!!
