This is a guy that a year earlier was playing the good guy role (haha, as well as he could play it) against Zab Judah and that had a Vegas crowd cheering for him for the most part. I might venture to say that Floyd was probably the best villain ever. The people that hate Mayweather are just idiots because they can't tell the difference between promotion and real life. Actors in Hollywood play parts and I don't come out and say "F*** Brad Pitt, I don't agree with what he did in Fight Club." Mayweather may not be the most articulate, he may not have the business sense or appeal to women that ODLH has but in his own right, he's a genius. His antics doubled his paycheck.
Let's see which is easier to "fake"? A 30 minute interview or weeks of having cameras on you? It's just what I said before Floyd doesn't know what he wants. And no way in hell did his antics double his paycheck. They increased it for sure, but a car salesman can sell more cars if he lies about what the car does. Yup, this car will fly, does 0-100 in two seconds, just sign here.....

That's not genius, that's bullshit.
