    If Mayweather saw irony in a fighter whose self-proclaimed nickname is “Money” warning of the dangers in fighting solely for paychecks, he didn’t acknowledge it. Mayweather, whose camp has denied problems with the IRS over unpaid taxes, insists he’ll reclaim his spot atop the sport, starting next month.
    ----------------------------------------------------

    That would be good news for Floyd if the fight was in August but what's it mean since the fight may take place in Sept.?

    Floyd did his homework this time. Kenny obviously thought it was just gonna be a repeat of last time & Floyd dropped some knowledge on him.

    Also, yeah, i still dont see why a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight should be 50/50. Floyd outsold him against their last 2 common opponents. Whats the hold up, Arum?

    Just as both fighters get paid why should it matter who gets more. Ego I guess is the answer.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Not a big fan of Mayweather's constant antics but I do applaud him on calling out Shane Mosley on his EPO use. I never understand why he and Roy Jones get a free pass with their history of using performance enhancing drugs. In no way do I condone the unforgiveable act Margarito committed (I think he should have done time in prison and have been banished from the sport) but isn't using enhancers which allow you to train harder, which in turn allows you to be stronger faster or better conditioned then otherwise possible a threat to the health of the man across the ring from you. Now obviously it's to a much lesser degree then what Maragarito did but I still feel they get too much of a pass from the public for the serious offence they comitted

    All he did was talk about money and how much he had/was worth etc instead of answering questions. that money talk is getting old and demonstrates how shallow and pompass the guy is. I love him as a fighter but his personality is crap he seems insecure and obsessed with money.

    hehe I like it when he said: "Shane is a steroid user" or something along those lines. That should have a good ripple effect at GBP, who happen to be Floyd's promoters.

    I am anxious to see how fast Mosley gets back on the tube with Kenny to challenge those statements. Kat fight

    Funny how he also didn't want to talk about his personal lifem then goes into a diatribe about how many paid for mansions he has I wouldn't have minded if he'd stayed retired.

    I reckon its part of the pre-promotion for a Mosley-Mayweather fight if Pacquiao-Cotto goes ahead

    Though I think 1 Floyd is enough, I like his interviews as well. He does bring up valid points sometimes, but he does duck some of the questions too. I wish he had talked about the multi fight contract. Schaefer was saying something that to watch for Floyd and that he will be fighting these big names, Mosley, cotto, pac, and i think a couple others
    Yea he makes no sense at all, saying what he does on paper is his own business and then states he pulls in $2 million a month and also turns down an opportunity to brag about having a multi fight contract. makes absolutely no sense....

    I was wondering that myself. That fight is long overdue. The build-up to that fight would be fun.

    Yes you would have as would everyone else who is talking smack about him now. Boxing was getting boring without him. Characters like him keep people watching for one reason or another. So people saying they wish he stayed retired probably are the same people bashing him for retiring so soon in the first place

    I'm not even going to argue about that post.




















































    Because you're right I think he's a brilliant fighter; and seriously I am glad he came back as long as he takes care of unfinished business; but for me he acts like a fukking jerk and if he'd only stfu I might like him. Of course that's the whole point, he doesn't care if people like him so either way the pecker face wins.

    If it makes you feel better Legion, in person he is actually not a dick. Smashup met him at the London workout & he was happy to take pics with him & his kid. Also at the end he came out to the people who'd been outside & signed stuff for all those who'd been waiting, largely kids from our 'ghettos'. He was class & a lot better than the likes of 'down to earth' Ricky Hatton. But let's face it, the act sells a lot better. Nobody was interested in Floyd fights when he was the smiling face of the SFW division, hell remember at that time, it was Corrales who was the bad guy.

    Funny you mention that; because I knew about Smash's visit, and hear stories about how nice he is. I hate fake personalities, so the whole "image" he presents bothers me just because he's probably a good dude. That's just me though; and I appreciate boxing; not the bs behind it. But if it sells than more power to him; just my personal outlook on it. I don't deny he is an amaing talent, never have.

    Floyd Mayweather is intellectually challenged beyond belief. It's as though his ablity to articulate hasn't developed since the age of 12. And so what you have are these bizarre little outbursts full of contradictions and lacking in any semblance of logic. What was that private life nonsense all about? And I struggled to make sense of his arguments about Mosley.

    Great fighter, but profoundly stupid. I rank him up there with Amir Khan in this sense. Except that Khan is a mediocre fighter and profoundly stupid. Zab Judah would fit in with them quite nicely too, though his boxing skills fall in the middle.
