He has proven that time and again. I know they are all motivated by money, the Manny's, the Mosley's, etc., but clearly Floyd does not care one inch for the fans and that is why he will never be a beloved boxer on a personal level. I am sure he will fight Mosley or Manny if he is given the lions share, and based on his opponents, does he really deserve it? I don't think so.

He's the most fan friendly boxer currently fighting today, at least as far as revenue goes.

Who else provides entertainment like Floyd Mayweather? Just watch compare his 24/7 shows to the ones without him in them, they arn't even worth watching imo.

Everything he does and his persona is to create excitiment for the fans anf get them to want to watch the fights.

Anybody who has ever been to a Floyd press conference on here are all unanimous in their praise for Floyd's interaction with the fans.

Look at the Hatton Floyd pre fight build up. Whilst Ricky was making it really personal, with wanker gestures directed at Floyd, Floyd carried out his role as the bad guy with aplomb, hyping the fans up, giving them everything they wanted of him.

He's an entertainer.

He's number 1 so will obviously always be a target but there is nobody else in the sport right now at the top of their game that comes close to bringing the excitiment and atmosphere that Floyd does.

If he wants to be an entertainer than he should take his sorry a$$ to New York and perform on Broadway. This if fuking boxing, not a bad rap video.

I find nothing that Floyd does entertaining. In fact I won't even watch his 24/7 shows, because I can't stand his disrespectful, arrogant antics. You may find that kind of behavior appealing, while I find it vomit inducing.

He's #1? Really? I think Manny would have something to say about that. Floyd is #2, which is very fitting considering he is a piece of $hit.

Where's JT Rock when you need him, I can't stand against the legion of haters on my own.

But seriously, Floyd would dominate Manny Pacquaio, I doubt the Filipino would win more than a single round.

Unfortunately, Floyd won't step into the ring with Manny, or any other real threat to prove that.

I just want to clarify that I am a big fan of Floyd's boxing ability, but I am not a fan of Floyd as a person.

Floyd need to get his own crack pipe and stop sharing with his dad and uncles.

Random observation, no way in hell Floyd made 8 million dollars to fight Sharmba Mitchell, I'm sorry that just can't possibly be true.

Now I'm more than 2 minutes in. To be fair, this guy is a lot more in tune to boxing than I would expect him to be and talking about him not knowing anything about boxing, LOL. Guy's points sometimes are iffy cause he doesn't like Floyd but he knew a surprising amount about boxing. Knows Paul Williams, knew how many KO's Archie Moore had (well in the ballpark), knows Ricardo Lopez, Brian Fucking Neilson (Floyd didn't even know him

), Willie Pep. Knew exactly when Pacquaio had been stopped, etc. That guy actually sounded like a boxing fan that was fairly knowledgable, I was a bit shocked really. Saying something like JMM moved up 17 pounds is wrong but probably based a bit on JMM having his bigger fights at jr. lightweight. The guy made some questionable points but he knew a lot more about boxing than you're normal American.

To be fair I totally get Mayweather fans getting upset about him not accepting that Mayweather's also moved up. Also PBF has fought a lot better fighters than Williams so excusing away the Quinbaldomir loss by saying that's what happens when you fight good fighters is a bit iffy.

But the JMM fight was a propaganda piece and he hasn't fought anybody on the level of Calzaghe, well ever.

Floyd douchebagmeter: Boxing will be dead when I leave, geezus. Talking about SRL losing to Hector Camacho when he was decrepit.

Ahaha dude used the big ass gloves line talking aout the Zab, that was Sal The Butcher, it had to have been.

Just because the guy was off in some areas, don't mean he didn't call a spade a spade.

Floyd has been campaigning as a Welter weight for nearly 5 years and has yet to face a true Welter. lol Ring Mag has floyd listed as the number two

I was off for two years. (By choice waiting for all the welters to destroy each other like I predicted)
Shut up, it was 18 months. Hopkins does it all the time standing on his head and he is nearly 45

I am my own promoter, I am my own boss.
Why don't you fight Mosley?
That is not up to me to decide. lol

Bob Arum wont do business with me.
Arum Offers 8 million to fight Margarito and Floyd turns it down to fight a man who had no business being called a lineal champ.

I fought Zab Judah!
After he lost to Baldomir.
Way to go tough guy, you really put your balls on the table with that move.

You have 35 fights (40)
Archie Moore has 135 knock outs! (131)

This dude was owning Floyd left and right, front and center.

So this year, two white white boy rappers have made floyd look like an idiot.

Word to Floyd, stay away from white rappers

And BTW Rugged was there to promote his album and he had no idea they would be talking to Floyd.

I am just glad it was some one who would not be on the phone sucking on Floyd's stick for twenty minutes. The man told Floyd what he needed to hear. Take heed my brother, go for the legacy.
Legacy don't pay the bills.
You are rich already.
Go for LEGACY!

Those were sound words of advice.

Lol - let the haters hate Bilbo. That's their job. In fact, you know Floyd is doing such a fantastic job because he has the most haters.

It's like Katt Williams said so well, "People are gonna hate you regardless, You got to be grateful - you need haters - What the F*ck are you complaining about? Let them do their job - If you got 20 haters, you need to figure out how to get 40 of them Mother F*ckers!"

That's the great thing with Floyd..People will keep hating and he will keep winding them up by winning and winning well. Makes me laugh.

This is brilliant.

So Floyd got $8 mill for Mitchell and $12mill for Baldo?

"you have 35 fights Archie Moore had 135 KO's"

**Fenster** · #38 (**permalink**) 11-01-2009, 03:54 PM

Floyd got totally smashed because he was talking to a hardcore boxing fan (Jaz and Elterrible - behave, so the guy got a few things wrong, he didn't have boxrec or google in front of him)

In Floyd's defence though.. most fans just don't get the business/danger side of boxing. To think a boxer will take a harder challenge for less/same money is ridiculous. No wonder Floyd thought he was speaking to an idiot.

So it is not about Legacy?

Fine by me. Glad to hear it because we can continue to laugh at Floyd every time he makes these outrageous claims of being the greatest and what not.

I think Floyd has made it perfectly clear that he is not willing to fight the best. It's a hustle. I can live with that.

**OumaFan** · #40 (**permalink**) 11-01-2009, 04:40 PM

Fenster is right on.

Sharmba Mitchell for 8 million is hilarity. That can't be right. I don't know what he made for Baldomir.

First this idea that the guy didn't know anything about boxing is crazy. He knew his stuff.

Not that I agreed with everything. Some of his points were a bit illogical. He is a bit of a "hater." And I don't have a huge problem with people making decisions based on their bank account but Floyd wants it both ways, he wants everything to be based on if it makes money it makes sense AND be thought of as the greatest ever.

**Fenster** · #41 (**permalink**) 11-01-2009, 05:07 PM

It's widely reported Floyd got $8 million for Baldomir - a career high payday.

I defended him over this because of the $8 million Margarito offer. Why would he fight the dangerous guy when he can get the same money plus the lineal welterweight title? The Baldomir fight was an easy shit gimme but it made sense.

He must have confused the Mitchell money with the Baldomir money in that interview. He sure was flapping...

**OumaFan** · #42 (**permalink**) 11-01-2009, 05:19 PM

No I didn't mind him fighting Baldomir, the guy was the champ at the time if a very weak champ.

He was also a large, legitimate welterweight.

The only real problem I have with the interview is the guy kept telling Floyd that he would have gotten smashed by Margarito. That is just silly.

josef4334 · #45 (**permalink**) 11-02-2009, 04:19 AM

man.. the best.. floyd deserves every bit of that. he stutters like his dad and uncle.and he kept talking about how he fought the #2 p4p and he was off 2 years.. hahaha.... now he comes up with philippines makes the best performance enhancers.. shit.. if thats the case why is it a third world country? or why is it that not every boxer in the philippines is winning? floyd is making himself look foolish.he said he is the boss but when as when is he going to fight somebody legitimate he's gonna say its not up to him. SSM trashed his victory parade and he stuttered when mosely challenged him. now he's all tough talking to the guy on radio? "oooh if i talk to u like a bitch coz i say u a bitch" wanna be gangsta.
