WTF was with some of Mayweathers low class comments last night on 24/7?

Mayweather IMO is both the best and the worst trash talker in boxing today. He's great because he is a genuinely dislikable character who has a knack for pissing off the public and making them absolutely hate his guts.

He's bad because he'll often pick apart his opponent and underrate his abilities. He does himself a great disservice by doing this IMO. He called Gatti a C-class fighter and a bum, and they he had one of his best performances against him. Now what? The public thinks you just beat a C-class fighter, and it does very little for you.

If Floyd were to get into a ridiculous car crash tomorrow and mangle his legs... My first thought would be:

I hate mayweather skilled or not(which, of course he is)...

You know when will eventually post your true feelings about Floyd :-\

It's just Floyd being Floyd, we all know what to expect by now. My favorite line came from Richardson, when he was talking about Pac, "you know you're great when people let you sing, knowing that you can't " or something like that. I thought it was pretty funny and true.

Did anyone catch on episode 2 when floyd was telling his daughter not to talk bad about shane? I'm not sure he even knew the camera was there but he did say it...It was when he was in the ring with the little girl.

He said "Don't talk bad about Shane because we know who shane is"

Then on the couch later on he told his other kid some stupid ass comments about him so half dozen of one 6 of the other..

I doubt Floyd teaches his kids to be a jerk...As a Father he is probably a very good one

Its just too bad children mostly follow action and not words...they see floyd acting like a twat and that's what gets the most attention from TV and celebrities so that's what will most likely be retained.

It's like telling your kid not to smoke weed over and over again but then they see you doing it once and that's all the contradiction they need.

You posted pretty much what I was going to say. They see their father on tv acting arrogant, obnoxious and bad mouthing people, it's only natural that they are going to pick up on it and copy him from time to time. I am sure he isn't like that when the cameras aren't on but, due to the fact of how much television time he gets, they are going to be exposed to it a fair bit.

LOL I thought he said "Don't talk bad about Shane because he had a nose job"

LOL... You know I always give Floyd props. I think he's one of the most amazing defensive fighters, perhaps, in history... But the mouth to action ratio is one sided... Floyd always promising a KO and an action fight and then raping me of my money. I can't blame him. He's selling me the fights but making very unhappy fans in the meantime. I appreciate all his skills but I want him to just go... Just go away so men can fight rather then chase him around the ring.

LOL yeah I think that was it...Something stupid but why say it too your kid? I know he was mugging for the cameras but that is just outright stupid...If he was not such an ass I would be a big fan of his...But like Haye he just won't shut up...At least Haye keeps his comments about the fighters themselves Floyd brings family etc in it

Mayweather is a tool and should be ignored, he will be once he retires from boxing.

As has been said. It doesn't seem like he believes in most of the stuff he says which makes it even harder to watch. I prefer the humble Floyd Mayweather post-Marquez but as Mar correctly pointed out...that ain't MONEY Mayweather.

That Mayweather would be one broke mofo.

---

Yes, and the fact that he is nigh on bankrupt only makes the 'money' persona look all the more ridiculous and he has the audacity to say "Shanes broke". Floyd is a mentalist.

---

Miles we almost always agree on fighters! (exception Margarito perhaps, maybe Wink)!

I'm with Daxx & Co when it comes to PBF. I don't buy into this whole it's just an act BS to sell fights, he really is like that. ODLH sold a hell of a lot more without acting like a total prick. Manny is doing just the same and he barely speaks English..

I've been getting my missus to watch 24/7 with me so that she'll have some sort of interest in the fight come Saturday. Everytime PBF opens hs mouth she has a look of disgust on her face. She truly HATES him, why Floyd would want people to feel that way about him is beyond me...?

Like POB I detest Mayweather the person and I'm praying 2010 sees his demise!

Mayweather the boxer is a whole different story though... ;)

I heard Floyd say something about a nose job. Did Shane have some work done? His snog did look like it had been busted up a bit.
