    I think the media is sometimes blowing it out of proportion...esp. when it comes to reports like Floyd kicking out a Pinoy photographer or something.. i mean we dont even know the whole story.

    IMO there is a possibility that Floyd's ******* persona could be a marketing strategy...it is effective if you think about it. he is selling himself to be hated.

    Pac, on the other hand, is well known for being a 'good' guy...probably the main reason why you dont see reports on him losing millions at a poker table or banging some Brazilian models cause it is bad publicity..

    Unlike Floyd, who always gets criticized whenever he does something rude and stupid.

    What I find funny is before 24/7 floyd ask the fans what floyd did they want to see.

    If that doesn't tell you something then I can't help you guys.

    I really don't care if he acts like the former Mike Tyson for as long as he is consistent.

    He revealed this back when he first did 24/7. He said nobody wants to see two good guys, so i decide to play the bad guy. He's right, the world likes drama. Mayweather is selling this fight as he always do. :bbb

    Almost. The only problem there is that he looked more like an moronic douchebag idiot than a bad guy.

    To be honest, If you're the bad boy inside the ring... Nobody gives a heck outside of it.

    Mayweather is looking at the camera, thinking 'lookie here, i want to make this 24/7 more interesting, so i'm going to mock my father just for the hell of it. " Victor Ortiz's personality is dry, so Floyd made it a Mayweather show instead

    Noone can argue that he's not entertaining outside the ring though.

    I think he plays up to the villain role to sell the fight. I also thing he's probably is an arrogant douche.

    However he is very funny and entertaining. No one is more fun to watch on 24/7, even if it is to hate on him

    I liked the final scene of 24 7 where he's jogging down the street going- "Whats going on with everybody? Oscars Dressing in Drag and Doing Drugs, Ortiz is Acting lke a Victoria Secret Model" Haha

    but he gives turkeys to the poor on holidays...

    and he loves and respects the fans...

    count me out as one who ain't buying his fights. He's already guaranteed millions. WTF does he need my money for?
