Exactly, that is the thing - Everyone takes him personally. Although I don't like how hardcore he's puttin it on Shane, I have the common sense to recognise he is doing it to establish the good guy/bad guy divide. It's simple business...Everyone wants to watch a fight where there is one bad guy vs one good guy. Him and Shane will probably be out partying later that night.

Miles for example, I think calling him "filth" is a bit much. Someone who regularly uses his money for good causes as well as spending lavishly I have a hard time labelling as filth.

Someone who waits around for hours after press conferences signing autographs and taking pictures for fans I have a hard time labelling filth. (When "nice" guys like Ricky Hatton duck the fuck out on fans who have been waiting for hours)

You guys remind me of my mum - She hates Samuel L Jackson forever because of the breakfast scene in Pulp Fiction it's irrational
You just need to watch the first two minutes of the episode to see how low Floyd goes. Using the f-bomb to denigrate each of Mosley's losses and then say that he is also going to 'fuck you (Mosley) up' as well. And then you factor in all the preposterous hyperbole about being the greatest ever and all the other nonsense he says. The guy has no class and no respect for anything nor anyone (except his despicable father and family). He is unlikeable full stop. I don't buy into it all being an act, Floyd obviously has always been like this. I do think it is all way too dumb to get worked up about, so in that sense it doesn't really bother me. But I will say it for what it is and that is that I think Floyd is a low quality human being and too obsessed with the shallow things in life.

It will do him good to taste defeat and then go bankrupt. He might learn a little humility and respect.
Well put...Anyone who takes it as personal would be crazy the guy is just someone who will never effect you in any way (Unless you bet it all on him for the Mosley fight)...But How low will one stoop to sell themselves no matter what the role?

Where does it go past showmanship and become the loss of your dignity?

I guess everyone has a price right?

Yet if you are rich upon what one could possibly spent rationally why still do it? Greed?

Maybe Floyd is insecure?

Or just Scum like Sr and Roger?

How about seeing Floyd on 24/7 in 15 year training his son with no teeth in his mouth....Sr still hanging on....

Why does he need so many body guards? No fighter in history other then Ali and the Muslim faction had so many bodyguards....All for show....
