    ****in ridiculous. These guys are supposed to be professionals. I thought Floyd was joking when I heard about this earlier. Why the hell would he wait this long to say something? Why the hell is Roger letting his nephew run his life?

    This Mayweather circus act is getting out of hand.

    Well I hope Jeff would ruin it, he is the only one with smarts with his college education. I just can stand hearing about this fight coming from a huge Floyd fan. I just don't understand a family running their mouths telling the whole business.

    Steve fired Roger, after Roger said he would talk to Floyd then didn't show up for work. Once again, a lack of professionalism. I don't know what the hell Floyd's probem is. Once again, had he said something when this fight was signed, I wouldn't be that big of a deal. The fact that he waited this long is unacceptable.

    Ummm, I dont blame Roger one bit. Any idea how much more he makes from Floyd as opposed to Forbes? He would have to train Forbes for 10 years to make what he will make in one fight with his nephew.

    You don't blame Roger? The guy just straight ditched Forbes today. Furthermore, he should've realized the conflict of interest from the get go. He should've definately made Floyd aware of the situation before he decided to train Forbes for this fight. Forbes also shares some blame for hiring someone who has a vested interest in him losing as his trainer. Floyd gets some blame for waiting this long to say something.

    There are conflicts of interest everywhere in DLH/Forbes and DLH/Mayweather

    Here's to Forbes pulling the upset with Uncle "Jazzy" Jeff in his corner:cheers

    roger had no business training forbes. floyd is right in putting his foot down. let jeff train steve because like others have said there is no way steve forbes is going to beat oscar.

    I don't have a problem with it at all. It should not have played out publicly, but when you have $20 Million on the line like Floyd does, you need to look at the business angle.

    If Roger did anything to help Forbes win (Hard to imagine) or exposed ODLH, it will hit Floyd's wallet.
