    Remember when Floyd was known as "Pretty Boy" and was actually exciting to watch? He actually sought to fight the best back then, even calling out Mosley.

    What I wanna know is, what happened between then and now, when he became "Money"? My guess is he fell in love with the money. Back when he was Pretty Boy, he wasn't the huge PPV star that he is now, and had to fight the best.

    Its an old pro wrestling promotional tactic. Boxing too.

    He looked in the mirror and decided he needed a new nickname.

    Money. That's what happened. It ruined him.

    The guy is a circus act now.

    Pretty Boy fought in a weight class where he wasn't overly outsized by everyone.

    IDK, I don't think Floyd expected to become as big as he is now.

    This is actually the truth, he started balding and changed his nickname.


    As to money, it was always about money, he just wasn't a draw when he was PBF so he was forced to take tougher fights.
