    Anyone done it before?

    I plan to meet Sugar Ray Leonard in March at Cardiff comic con, don't care to see anyone else. Is it pay your money, 50 sec pic and move on?

    If so, I hope someone makes sure he's clean so the kids don't witness any "Gator" moments.

    I met Floyd at a Halloween party he hosted at Foxwoods Casino. My gf won tickets for a personal meet and greet. I always thought his over the top arrogance was a little but if an act, but it's real. He was a *****. It was on his contract that he was meeting with fans who won the meet and greet, but he couldn't be bothered to shake hands, say what's up, nothing. After waiting for 3 hours, we were ushered up to his VIP, with his crew. He's told that we are there, he walks up, no hello, poses for a picture, turns his back to us and goes back to his people.

  9. Dude, everybody has a tough day once in a while. Imagine all the stress he goes through, considering how hard he works. He probably was having a rough day.

    Stop being a hater.

    I doubt joe cal will be there, he was charging £75 to meet and sign a picture at the london comic con a few years ago, I didn't see one single person go up to him, he was just sat there looking ****ed off

    I like floyd aswell but if the story is true its pretty ****ty of floyd?

    He can pose for pics but no personal greeting no friendly appreciation to fans who pay good money to see his fights? I mean i know a guy like floyd wouldnt be able to walk dowm a street without dealing with that but if he is hosting an event an part of it is a meet an great competition he should honour it. Bad day or not

    I met Andre Ward at the unemployment office once, seemed like a nice guy. They offered us both jobs at a factory out of town but he said it was too much of a drive for him. Not sure what he's up to these days?
