    Now he's boring.

    Same rehe****d lines over and over again, "That's not my focus, I'm not worried about that, working harder not smarter, we'll have to see, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, it'll all about timing, I'm going to do what's best for Floyd Mayweather, well, it's been a long road/career,"...blah blah blah, same s*** in every interview.

    I miss this, "I'm running my mouth and looking for someone to shut me up, and if no one can shut me up then Imma keep running my mouth!"

    He used to have such a fire, frenzy about him.

    He's lost his appeal.

    It's sad because floyd used to be marketed as a really humble and genuine guy, unfortunately that marketing gimmick didn't work and acting like a stereotype that's all image and no substance has earned him more star power. It's really unfortunate because i don't think that's who he actually is.

    i can see why. that floyd is not a draw at all. he makes me want to not watch the fight.

    but be happy because that's how he's acting for this fight. real freaking boring.

    I think the fame that's come with being the marquee name in boxing has ruined his life. Imagine all the fake women and friends this guy has gone through. Poor *******.

    Nah breh. He also was in Russia last year giving game at a boxing gym. I'm sure all of can understand that sometimes we're hype and excited and other times we can be laid back and chill.

    He and Smitty seem to have a genial relationship so this should not be any surprise.

    Nobody knows for sure if that marketing gimmick would've worked actually. It was the Delahoya fight that made him huge, and by then he had already changed his image and his marketing persona.

    such a young age and was cool as shi-. many folks say hes not a dig when the cameras are turned off. hes actually quite likeable.

    the skill level at such a young age is extraordinary

    Floyd has always been cool.

    Too bad he's consumed with another identity soon as the cameras flip on.

    Floyd is a smart business man. He's managed to leverage an outlandish character named "Money Mayweather" against a very boring conservative style that does not usually appeal to casual viewers. Its actually made him a lot of money.

    Now I don't think Money Mayweather is his real personality, I do think its a side to Floyd though. Thats why he is so comfortable promoting fights.

    If Floyd was an exciting fighter you would probably see him drop the Money Mayweather antics because he wouldn't need them to draw viewers.

    are you kidding me


    Some of my favorite trash talk from Floyd came from the Mosley and Canelo fight.


    "They build them up, and you know what I do? Smack em down....It's funny because the only time Canelo's been on PPV is when he was on my undercard! But he's such a big star. He's such a big star Oscar."

    Floyd used to be such a bad a**.


    Then watch the Mosley face-off if you want to see Mayweather get in his face or heck anywhere. They were even physical at one point I'm pretty sure.

    I think it's just redundant to him. To be fair the man is almost 40 years old. Not that he has matured lol, but I think he figures there's nothing he needs to say to Pacquiao.
