Having worked with Jeff & hung out with Roger (by way of Floyd's cousin Anthony Sims) on a few occasions I have no doubt that Mayweather is an asshole. Or a douche, as the thread starter so eloquently put it.
But who cares? Why should a fighter's personality mean anything? This is boxing not American Idol. Please get rid of that teeny-bopper mentality.
Well said. Floyd is an a$$hole in front of the cameras (and probably off) and Manny smiles and jumps around movie sets in red pajamas, letting his loud-mouth trainer do all the dirty talk, while he's being pumped full of roids in underground laboratories off-camera. Neither seem like particularly good people, but who's the more honest of the two?Quote:

The Oscar style, the respectful, polite, gentleman approach that wins over fans due to the likeability factor. Then you have the Mayweather/Hamed style cocky, arrogant approach. Both styles, if done right, will put bums on seats for the most part and sell PPV. People watch the Oscar style as they want him to win, they like him and everything he stands for. People then also pay their money to see the likes of Floyd and Naz, to hopefully watch them get beat. Either way, both personas work from a financial perspective.
Although I know Floyd was a bit of a prick off camera when he met Ricky in Vegas way before their fight was anywhere near signed but I saw a very different side to him off camera at the Hatton v Floyd presser in Manchester. Floyd was being told he needed to do an interview for Setanta Sports by some rep from Setanta and he refused to do it as he was speaking to fans off camera. He told the rep that he wouldnt do the interview till after he had signed every fans autograph that was stood around him. And there was about 30 fans. The rep came back on 3 seperate occasions to grab Floyd and he told her point blank that if she didnt wait for him until he had finished signing every autograph she and Setanta could stick the interview. He signed every autograph till there was no fan left then did the interview.
For me that showed Floyd in a completelty different light to what I had expected, and he was a really nice guy, very accomadating and nothing like the persona he portrays on camera, which is all a show for the most part. My perception of Floyd as a person completely changed after that. Top bloke.
I still dont agree about him making his own rules to force this testing, but thats been discussed to death, so I will leave it at that.
...and a cheater.
