Floyd's got the Tupac thing.

"I never had a police record, until I had a record"

In 2pac's case meaning a music record. In Floyd's case, meaning a championship record.

The only bitches on here talking about Floyd aint this or that are from the ****ing UK ..:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl THAT **** IS CLASSIC

Ok...ONE big misconception about the so called HOOD or rough upbringing. MONEY DONT HAVE **** TO DO WITH ANYTHING. For one, it is not like Edison Miranda type of upbringing where he had to eat from a trash can. In bad areas, mother****ers got money whether it be legal or illegal, then you got mother****ers that dont have money THAT WANT TO TAKE YOUR ****. If Floyd had money in a somewhat black area he had it rough. Most dudes with CAKE get killed just for that fact. Again you dumb ass pond dwellers, you dont know **** about the hood. The most gangster mother****ers GOT money. Broke mother****ers are bottom feeders and get no respect in the hood. In the hood, broke dudes are the stick up boys and the thieves or junkies. Or just the run of the mill dudes in the hood that aint about **** and if you clowns seen them looking hood with dirty do rags and braids and a white T you would think that "hey, he is thug" NO NO NO..those are clowns. You would see a dude on the block with some ****ing fresh ass clothes, fresh hair cut not even looking like he belongs on the block and he will be THAT *****. Damn....drive through there one day. See if hood dudes look and dress like Mayweather(which they ****ing do) or The image in your mind of what you see in the ****ing UK as some goofball in a hoody of off-brand variety and just bopping down the street like he is tough. LOL.....:deal

what is he talking about? I think it's common knowledge these comments about his youth are just bollocks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"The home that I come from, I had a father who was a hustler and a mother who was on drugs. That's one of the reasons I had to fight," Mayweather told Sky Sports News.
"I had to quit school so my family could be in a better position, I had to be the man in my home at the age of 16.
"Every day I have a flashback going back to my street life, because it'll never leave me.
"My friends hustling on the block, shootings, hearing guns was normal, if you didn't hear a gun during the week you'd wonder what was going on.
"My friend got killed, my friend got stabbed, there was all sorts of crazy stuff.
"Going through what I've been through, my father being shot in front of me, my mother being on drugs, living with seven people in one bedroom, my grandmother struggling, being in a drug infected neighbourhood. Walking to the gym in four feet of snow, doing just whatever it took to make it to the top."
Mayweather has endured a rocky relationship with his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr, who did train him for one fight before returning to the guidance of his uncle Roger.
"My father come over and he's a got a certain look on his face like he's envious of me. And it's shame when a person is jealous of one of their own children.
"I know, the eyes don't lie. But I'm happy with my uncle Rog, that's my dude, through thick and thin."
Mayweather does, though, have a close relationship with his mother, who he says is the only woman he needs in his life.
"My mother, I can remember when I was a kid we had no Christmas, she had to go out and steal stuff for us.
"I got her a wedding ring on her right hand because she don't have no husband, I am her husband, and that's my wife.
"I don't need to be going out there and getting married, to fight your whole life just for some woman to get all of your money.
"When it's all said and done my wife is my mother, that's my sweetheart and that's my baby."
Mayweather is a controversial figure, especially in the run-up to big fights, but there is obviously some calculation behind it all, as he looks to amass a huge fortune from the sport of boxing.
"I am controversy and controversy sells," he added.
"I'm the face of boxing, have you noticed that when De la Hoya faced all those other guys, he didn't get what he got when he faced me, with me he made his biggest payday.
"Zab Judah made his biggest payday with me, Baldomir had his biggest payday with me and the list goes on and on.
"My $4 million house is paid for, my Rolls Royce is as well, all my flashy cars are all paid for.
"Between five and 10 years I'll be a billionaire, that's my ultimate goal, or to be the first African American to have a casino, where I'm 60-70 per cent owner of the casino, something of that nature, on Las Vegas boulevard.
"No matter what obstacle they put in front of me I'm not embarrassed by anything I've been through, I'll fight through it all."

Sounds like a bit of historical revisionism.
