    Everyone has a different opinion but I don't think Berto is a loudmouth nor have I seen him talk alot of ****. I'm not aware of Berto having alot to do with his business dealings and I have to dis agree with Floyd being a success in business outside the ring. I recall Mayweather Sr saying "He wasn't broke, but he had a money problem".

    Don't want to start a fight (have to put that in on ESB!) but could you tell me why you think Berto is a loud mouth and Mayweather has had business success outside the ring?

    How does a guy with no talent be able to get paid millions of dollars, fight bums, and hostage a championship belt whilst taking away important tv dates from the real talented guys? Be an Al Haymon fighter lol, just ask Andre Berto

    Mayweather has made alot of money (and blown alot too). He had some pretty good endorsement deals for awhile as well. (His gambling also does him well).

    Berto talked alot of **** on twitter and boxingtalk. I think he was forcing himself to do this, but he really got kinda full of himself in the last year.

    It may have been to combat all of the talk about him being protected and cherry picking, but he tried really hard to make it seem like he was the one everyone was afraid of.

    And that Twitter war with Mosley was just outrageous.

    I see what your saying but as you said he lost alot of endorsement deals and I can't believe that gambling helps at all ... Of course he puts his winning tickets on twitter he is never going to put the losing ones on is he? I fear for Floyd when he really retires Haymon doers his job, high reward low risk for his fighters . Good manager but you can see why boxing fans dislike him ... Good for his clients not good for boxing

    Haymon giving so much to his boxers at the expense of the boxing public. That's why Haymon is hated. His boxers gets excessive money way above their actual worth (i.e. Berto, Floyd).

    Anyone who attempts to defend individuals like Don King and Al Hayman are not true boxing fans,but rather fanboys of bias behaviour.
    Please **** off and choose another sport to support.:tired

    Haymon's pull is a bit much. He kept getting Berto million dollar paydays against nobodies and one of the things that really irks me is how Paul Williams was the CHALLENGER to Martinez and he got to walk second in their rematch. You never hear about him getting his non-black fighters awesome paydays against cans.

    Black people are infallible, anyone who criticizes one is clearly a racist. There's simply no other explanation.

    Perhaps it's because they so often seem favoured and people like the underdog to win?

    I'm sure the Haymon fighters cry into their cereal bowls full of dollar bills.
