What's up with Floyd?

[beenKOed]

My impression is that he wants to change his image, which is a good idea with retirement approaching. He wants to transition from the trash talking, sometimes foul mouthed boxer to the respected, trustworthy, onetime boxer businessman.
I hope the whole thing works out for him, and along the way I'm hoping he can lead the way back to less foulmouthed trash talking.
I know the boxers themselves aren't totally to blame, not with reporters, camera crews, HBO, SHOETIME, ESPN, a multitude of boxing bloggers and App reporters ready and willing to repeat everything they hear.
If Floyd could point some of the younger boxers in the right direction, my respect for him would grow by leaps and bounds. I might start calling him Mr Mayweather instead of Floyd.
What do you think Floyd is doing? Tell me what you think. Maybe you think I'm full of BS, I've been told that before.

Probation is what's up.
Being indoors at a certain hour.
Attending court-ordered workshops.
Being kept on a short leash, having a court-ordered babysitter at 35 years old.
Community service, that kind of thing.

That's what's up...

No I have heard a recent interview think in boxing news or monthly and he was humble and blamed his mistakes on his youth. He is also trying to create a legacy as his career draws an end so that no one can doubt he has avoided anyone now.

Good luck to him but I hope he loses against Canelo.

I love this post. Here is a rough translation.

Maybe Showtime has a stop being a prick clause in that new contract.

I'm not sure but it must leave that unoriginal ass clown Broner feeling rather bipolar

The sudden change is strange so you might be right.

Broner does seem to have disappeared, not saying much at all.
Funny.

That's because he can't out trash talk Paulie.

[DavilaJones]

I'd give high praise to anyone who can out trash talk Paulie and his weekend pussy ex. Oh that story just had me smile for the whole day.

Call me a pessimist, but this half-assed nice guy thing from Floyd won't last. Floyd will be back in jail one day. It happened with his father, and his uncle (and probably still will) and Floyd still like to live that "gangsta" lifestyle. All signs point to things not ending well for Floyd.

Floyd does not live a "gangsta" lifestyle. He is an entertainer...he is selling an IMAGE. And while that image is flashy and excessive...it's hardly gangsta. And guess what...he sells it so well that he is the highest paid athlete in sports and has people such as yourself discussing his life. People need to realize that for better or worse...sports is a business. Don't hate on Floyd for realizing that and capitalizing on it better than any other athlete.

So he along with his father and uncle haven't been in and out of prison their entire lives? Floyd makes 40 million per fight and still can't stay out of prison. The guy frequents strip clubs on a regular basis and throws money around...even when a camera isn't on him...I know you want to think he's just "selling an image"...but Floyd isn't that clever unless he's in a boxing ring. Swing and a miss.

Floyd Sr is the only one who's been to prison. Jr and Roger never been to prison. They been to jail. But not prison. There is a huge fucking difference between prison and jail. Totally different ball game

If you want to just make shit up...i guess there is no need for a discussion. His father served time a long time ago and Floyd has done one stint just recently. "Floyd isn't that clever"?! The guy makes more money than any athlete in the world and has you steamed cause he goes to strip clubs all the time......you are absolutely right.....he sounds like an idiot

I hope you eventually realize that it's exactly people like you that have Floyd laughing himself all the way to the bank.
