Floyd showing nothing but pure class this go around

[JT Rock]

Just an observation, seems to be more real and candid instead of falsely being brash.. I think Floyd's learning that once you settle in to your own people are more supportive of you

i thought this.. then i just figured it was because JMM couldn't understand English hahah.. and he wasn't going to trash talk to him in English while someone was translating so spanish etc.. not the same effect hah.

but overall he has def calmed down, i do agree.

Or are poor sales making him try to appeal to people because he is desperate ?

real doubtful.. the more he is an ass, the more people hate him, the more people pay to hope to see him get knocked out.. that's been his thing all along.

I agree. While he may have appeared to be an ass, and a loudmouth, this is what sold him (besides being an incredible fighter). Boxing is a business, and this is how he sold himself (what a whore ). Can't wait to see him fight.

I agree, he did seem more laid back. However, let's remember... there's only been one 24/7 episode so far. For all we know, HBO chose to run the footage where Floyd was most down to earth in order to show another side of him.

I do think there is one big difference though.... I think Floyd genuinely respects Marquez as a fighter, especially since Marquez spent a lot of years struggling to get recognition because he was overshadowed by Morales and Barrera. Whereas I think Floyd viewed Oscar and Ricky (rightly or wrongly) as lesser fighters who just happened to be popular with the fans and the TV networks.

Yeah, him having his bodyguards shoot at a guy who wished that he would lose, shows a lot of class.














And before you Mayweather fans jump all over me, this is just me giving JT some ribbing, and he knows it.

Could me worse.. Floyd could be getting tramp stamps and other less than manly jailhouse tattoos while ducking bricks from his Uncle

Yeah, I guess he could go and get convicted for the 3rd time for assaulting women, which would then make it a felony in Nevada, and he could then do up to 5 years in prison.

Him and Roger could be cell mates.

[skel1983]

I like Floyd and deep down he is a decent guy, but I think this was a bit of a PR stunt, i have no doubt he does his charity work etc etc, but I think his team made sure HBO had that in the 24/7 show.

I dont see how Marquez wins this, I honestly think Floyd will win this easily.

I think he has gotten past all that.. No doubt his Uncle is a good trainer but deplorable human being... Floyd can move on with all that over time. Cotto has to live with that kindergarden scribble on his skin forever

Hahahahahaha!!! I really hope Cotto kicks the shiit out of you know who, Cotto earned my respect and sympathy from the handwrap incident and then showed real grit when he battled thru the cut with Clottey.

[Spicoli]

He's just getting older and buisness savvy.Realizes that lame brash character overload turns fans off ...better suited for the WWE.Don't think we've seen the end of him thumping his chest.Was this '24/7' ? Missed it

Still seems real brash to me. Bragging about his home ("it's all paid..."), rolling dice with wads of cash with his family, still being connected to crimes. Nothing seems to have changed with Mayweather at all. So he was filmed giving food to homeless. Not very sincere. He basically was throwing it at the homeless like you throw food at animals at the zoo. Marquez was/is much more humble and real to me.

[Youngblood]

I'm guessin he bought a life coach. It's all the rage. Paid them with a stack of benjamins right in tha face.

dude your just being a hater... So Floyd cant play dice with his family and have a sense of accomplishment in his life. Obviously money means alot to him, maybe your like me and you have no desire to be rich and live in the fast lane but he is doing what he pleases with his hard earned cash.

As far as Floyds charity work, unlike most I read all the Mayweather news not just the hate fuel that circulated, I have been aware of his charity work and giving back for a while now enough to know that clip on 24 wasnt a one time PR stunt..

My point of the thread was, he has been more fan friendly, been cordial and less surly with his brashness to the media(excluding Brian Kenny which you can tell had a bit of showmanship by both parties) and HASNT said a disparaging word about Marquez nothing but respect and class. Even Roger hasnt said a peep about Nacho.

Very nice promotion, hope this is what Floyd chooses to stay with, its the real him and is a great balance between being respectful and showcasing his flashy lifestyle. He is gaining in popularity you can tell and will probably start solidifying it more if he dominates JMM in an exciting way. I think that will sway the people even more.

If both can get past their opponents you have the perfect stage set for a Pac PBF showdown, because of how nauseating SOME of Pac's fans can be coupled with Roaches opportunistic caniving to put Pac's opponents at a disadvantage I can see Floyd getting a big push in popularity and support
