Floyd is great in the ring but outside the ring he is a dumb thug and will eventually blow his fortune and/or end up back in jail.

This happens all over. I know for a fact he gets this practice from his childhood gym. What is the NAC going to police training now when they can't even put on a decent testing program? This is a dog and pony show because Floyd bad mouthed them. If they want to make rules about training and watch everyone, fine. But going after Floyd because he insulted them is typical boxing horseshit. Finding a lick of truth in this sport is near impossible.

Yeah NSAC is a fucking joke for sure, but I think they have a point because what he was putting on was more like exhibitions instead of training and to go unlimited until someone quits or gets knocked out is pretty barbaric, I know it's common place in boxing gyms to do crazy shit like that but it's not good to show it.

It shows you how stupid Floyd is as a person because he is the exec producer of those fucking All Access 24-7 shows so he gets to say what goes into them and what doesn't, it's not like they filmed it and used it against his wishes, so he fucked himself by being stupid.

Why would it matter, it wasn't boxers smoking pot. It was pretty f'n obvious Floyd has never done it and those girls smoking around him was obviously new too(for cameras) because he didn't even know where to get papers haha

Every gas station, liquor store, convenience store in America has them but Floyd didn't know. Those people aren't smoking regularly.

Showtime just aired a crime. May not be as detrimental as, lets say, a drive by shooting- but it was illegal none the less.

" may not be "? Every reason marijuana is illegal is Bullshit. It was lies and propaganda. It doesn't effect me either way if it were to stay illegal but it's nonsense. It's on the ballot in Florida now and the police are on the tv spouting about the Drinking and driving numbers as if they are connected. If anything crime will drop with legalization. Look at the countries that have decriminalized drugs, the crime rates here are staggeringly higher in USA than there. If people want to waste their lives on their couches they should be allowed.

Go back and watch the propaganda that made it illegal, it's disgusting. Marijuana will make black men rape your white women etcetera. When something is made illegal based on disgusting racist lies it should be addressed in an honest fashion not more propaganda.

I'm not referring it to as detrimental physical wise, or even social wise. In fact, I have no feelings either way on weed on that score and that's not how I meant what I said.

Alls I'm saying is that you cant commit a crime, any crime, for it to be recorded on television and expect everything to be ok.

Let's just say it wasn't marijuana. Let's just say the cameras caught him pissing in a public place, or running multiple red-lights. They are crimes too, not as detrimental as murder... but crimes none the less.

Floyd is on THE highest pedestal there is and he does get a bit f'tard during the 24-7, all access series with believing its a reality show without ramifications, especially being handed a promotion license etc. Its very much a carnival act by commission but Floyd demands the big tent to begin with. Nothing will come of it and Mayweather actually has the chance to rise above and play the good guy-diplomat

Because it isn't about weed or what happened in the gym with that marathon session, which the commission are now making it out to be more than it actually was and raises the public lore on the Mayweather gym.

But, and this wasn't in the all-access episodes, but Floyd has said some really reckless things about the NSAC. Questioning their sanctioning integrity and their slackness in terms of letting Maidana get away with the gloves he wanted. It started from there and he went on questioning the integrity of the commission on several other matters- even when he tried to back away, in the same interview, on some of these issues with the NSAC's handling of his recent fights.

Floyd is forgetting the network of people responsible for allowing him to be Floyd. Floyd is now morphing into something more than what the network is willing to allow for him. This spells clear trouble for him if more and more folks in the inner-circles lean away from him and allow more lenience to his opponents...

This is probably why he doesn't want to work with Arum- Arum has as much pull from the old boy's club and buddy system than Floyd can EVER have in ANY state in the USA.

Never forget that!

I think it's more about the image Floyd is projecting.
Who knows, maybe they will try to discipline him or at least convince him to think before he acts or starts talking.
The Commission has been good to Floyd over the years so if Floyd thinks he is now bigger than the Commission maybe they want set him straight.
I'm not a big fan of Floyd's but I hope he doesn't self destruct.

I have seen the sparring session, to me there were two boxers in that ring trying to impress
Floyd, and in all honest a lot of fighters would have done the same thing.
The chance to show how tough and fit and what skills they have, in front of the P4P best boxer
out there, hell the amount of tough sparring I have seen in gyms.
Yes Floyd will take some stick, but what can the Commission do.?

Mayweather is all about the bad boy persona shock value he uses to sell. Not sure about the timing though. Seems like Mayweather has some smart people around and some dumb peaople to balance things out.
