Some more gem like quotes from Floyd Mayweather

[Wacko3205]

As a person Mayweather is simply annoying. God help anyone that actually knows the guy! He is seriously retarded when it comes to people and feelings.

He's annoying media wise, now realize this is a second hand story, but i have relatives that say he is the nicest guy and nothing like he puts himself out there. And for all we know all these so called "nice guy" boxers can be some of the biggest assholes in reality. It's simply buisness for him, being the villian works for him. Floyd has beat a ton of nice guy fighters in his career and in this sport that's really all that matters.

I agree completely. We have no real way of knowing what these guys are like in reality all we see is them in front of the cameras.

No doubt Floyd has a big ego but so does every top level athlete, it's what fuels them and drives them.

He has a good business head on his shoulders and knows that his arrogant attitude sells tickets. In America they don't have the same mindset as we do in Britian. In the UK we like our sporting stars to be humble and self effacing. Ideally they will also fall just short of true greatness, as we pride ourselves on failing admirably rather than winning dominantly.

In the US they like winners not runners up and so Floyd merely acts and talks like a winner.

I'm sure he's a decent lad at heart, a little arrogant and cocky but that will go once he retires no doubt.

I disagree that there is a difference in what fans in the US like. PBF isn't very popular. He's been in lots of televised fights, but he doesn't have a big fan base, and certainly not a crossover athlete. He's largely unknown, and since his act or portrayal on 24/7 .... unliked by average people who seen it. I don't think his business sense is good. He gambles on basketball games, carries a lot of cash, and flaunts his money. He's not gotten far with the badboy image, cause it doesn't suit him. If he had any business sense he would have patterned himself after SRL. He's the Pretty Boy, yet he acts like a thug. He just doesn't even fit the personna and he keeps trying. Overall I think he's very foolish. He brags about what he doesn't do, and ignores his own strengths and glosses over what he does do. Very foolish. Should have been the new SRL. Instead he needs ODH to get a big payday. His biggest before was Baldo, and that wasn't big in perspective to other top level fighters.

8 Million for fighting Baldomir? Who else in Boxing is making that kind of money? Not a flame, just want to know. Apart from ODLH obviously..?

Totally disagree...Floyd's a smart business man & he's also gone a hell of a long way with his attitude. It may not be one that everyone likes...but it has catapulted him into a different bracket.

Many fans say that Floyd couldn't sell fight tickets...but that's not really true...it takes two to put asses in seats & to say things like he needed Hatton & Oscar or whoever to sell out an arena is not even 80% on the money.

Hatton & Oscar need an opposing fighter in the other corner to see out the joints here in the U.S. ...so that statement aint on the money.
