Oh, here we go again... Isn't it obvious that Mayweather is simply puting on an act, trying to entertain, stir up emotion, cause controversy - and, granted, does it badly? :huh Is he immature? Is he badly advised? YES! But is he a bad man? Of course not?:deal
I agree actually. He does act like a dick but you see his genuine love for his mother and especially his children and you can tell he plays the badguy but deep down is not really a badguy. He's just a businessman who thinks he's funnier than he actually is.
See, what he's doing in that video is what most young men would do in front of their bedroom mirrors at the age of 13/14/15. Mayweather is a moron, playing up to the morons off-camera guffawing at the rubbish coming out of his mouth, not realising he's just sitting up, rolling over and playing dead like a dumb dog for laugh biscuits. What a sad and lonely individual - he's like a black Richie Rich - lots of $$$ but no real friends.
I found this quite amusing from him - It means he's relaxed n comfortable with that aura surrounding him, the **** talkin stuff, and he's just having fun. But I do have to say that doesn't sound like his friend Curtis but copy-cat stuff from The Game and the Documentary, Ironic ****. PBF should stick to boxing. GGGGGGG-UNOT.
When Floyd fought in his hometown (Michigan) he drew HOW MANY people? Hardly any!!! Do you think Oscar or Ricky would EVER have that problem? AND if Floyd is such a draw why is is that even there in his adopted hometown yesterday of Las Vegas NOBODY showed up to greet him at the MGM while Ricky had the entire state there??
Personally I can only go by the numbers. With this fight he has now done back to back 8 figure gates, and this fight sold in 30 minutes. Despite his fans having unlimited access to tickets in all his previous fights, Hatton has never been close to selling out a fight in America. I don't know about you but to me that indicates that Floyd is in deed a draw. Whether people come to cheer or boo him, the bottom line is that when he fights, people will come. Is that not what a draw is?
I am actually posting to two guys from Michigan in another group that can't stand him and want him to lose now. I personally don't know how far love or hate goes around in that american state for Floyd since there are other very good fighters coming from there like James Toney. But he had a lot of support when he took on Phillip NDou back then... I think it's a case that Floyd has been too much time around in Vegas by now. Most of those that are rooting for Ricky are brits but I would go as far as to say that there are those many Hatton supporters in the States who are also Hoya's fans and Floyd's haters.
Honestly.. do you really think Floyd give a rats ass whether you defend him or not?.. especially against them prejudice dogs with all bark and no bite? , i would have thought a grown ass man would have better things to do than bemoan a man who's actions is his own business and no-one elses, i'm inclinded to think this thread is just another tedious attemp to get the Floyd haters thongs in a twist, congratulations it's worked. :roll:
So I suppose you assume people you post about care what YOU think about them? Don't be foolish, my man. This is a ... MESSAGE BOARD... the reason they have this -newsflash- is to post opinions and comments about boxing and its boxers. I did that. I am also not posting to get Floyd haters to do anything... I for one believe Floyd will - should- win BIG on Saturday. I am not talking anything about the fight, though, etc etc his skills etc. I am talking only about a man - a 30 year old father- who acts the way he does in front of the world.
Excuse me what do you mean "the people you talk about"?.. i don't waste my damn time opening hateful threads about a boxers "personality" because it's none of my business, in case you haven't noticed this is a BOXING FORUM designed to talk about BOXING, not how a man acts at a damn hip-hop radio station infront of his people!!, ya'll are ridiculous, you implyed that you've met Floyd and he was fine with you so why can't you take the man at face value instead of following the sheep?, for gods sake you're meant to be a man who's been inside the industry!!, grow up and find something conducive to do rather than hate on a man who's talent you could never match.
Skills, it's true but guess what? I feel safe in the knowledge that my parenting skills will outmatch the pretty one's anyday. AND for a guy that seems to hate these types of threads you and your clicking fingers seem to find your way back to this thread quite often, no? And yes I am in the game... the game of life. I am talking about Floyd here as a person who conveys himself a certain way... it has nothing to do with boxing anymore when u come down to it. He's a rich man, and thats greatf or him, he can get away with acting like that but you know what sucks? I know MANY MANY kids with 10 cents in their pockets who act just like him... they wont be so fortunate later on in life to have the same comforts as him because unless they hit it big at powerball there will be no jobs waiting for them to make the money to support a way of life that Floyd will enjoy. And their way of portraying themselves will ENSURE that
When Hatton fights Oscar (which if the reports are believed, will happen next summer) it is likely to take place at Wembley Stadium with a capacity of over 80,000. I can guarantee it will sell out. Mayweather could not sell out stadia like that in the US or anywhere. The combination of Hatton fighting back at home, and the fanbase Oscar has makes this a huge bout. *Although why Ricky would take this fight I dont know, Oscar is too big.
