    no. i was just talking about in this forum. there were no press that i saw in there today, so i am not sure about any rules to go buy w/ questions.

    floyd's gym is in china town in vegas.

    haha. i said i cant reveal anything. especially when there is a possibility things dont go the way they appear to be going at this point. no tourney that i know of, just something that would affect celestino personally that would ultimately affect everyone in the division. it would likely make things right in the division finally really that is all i can say because it is something he is working on that nobody really knows about. sorry i hate to tease. as soon as i can officially break the news, i will do it. and i am pretty sure i could get it on here before anywhere else (besides celestinos site, of course.)

    If you ever get chance then yea that would be great! I can guarantee that thread will be a million pages lol

    When you say he has issues with some of the things out of the ring are you in a position to eloborate I understand if not?

    If you could ask him specifically I have always heard good things and whilst I am a fan I am skeptical, (people always say good things when you are winning!)

    I dont want to get too personal. i just think that he thinks what a lot of other people would say. floyd has changed quite a bit since he became "money" mayweather. that is about as comfortable as i would feel talking about that. jeff definitely has his on the record and his off the record comments. and the things we have talked about regarding floyd i can only assume would be off the record. at least as far as family is concerned, unless he says it is ok for me to write it, i dont want to take the chance and write something that might **** him off. he has been really cool with me and i dont want to betray his trust. however, now that i know him better, i am getting to ask him better questions. so the next interview i do with him i will see if i can get him to expand on the family life.

    havent paid attention to the names of the restaurants, but they do have hilarious names. when you eat there, you can probably hit his gym with a rock

    Thats understandable I dont want to be a jerk and put you in a difficult position either. I had thought most of the sh!t talking money did was just him BSing and trying to get publicity, if Jeff has issues with it that says to me some of it must be arrogance and that he is somewhat like he portrays.

    floyd didnt train at all. i was surprised at how into watching the sparring he was though. particularly during the pelenchin and brandon gonzales sessions. he was even standing on the ring during quite a bit of it. when he wasnt doing that he was hanging out with the little kids that were around. like i said, he was in a good mood and just having fun it seemed.

    i didnt really get near him too much other than the couch incident. i didnt want to make it seem like i was trying to sneak my way into anything. the one thing i learned from my days in security is that you get a lot further ahead if you act like you belong and dont act in awe when you are around celebrities. they feel a lot better usually when they see you as another person and not some fan trying to hang around them. so i didnt really pay him too much attention (although i did get my pic w/ him as we left). the more times i go back, the more i will be accepted and hopefully the more access i get. the advantage i have is that this wasnt a one shot opportunity for me. so i dont need to be aggressive. i can go there whenever jeff and pelenchin go. i can afford to take my time
