    Certainly sounds like Mayweather is already missing the attention huh ?I have no doubt that he will "Un-retired" down the road.He is as sharp a calculating self promoting opportunist as he is a defensive master.

    Look,you can not deny Mayweathers in the ring ability,technical skills..blah,blah whatever.That being said,once again he comes off sounding like an overfed whiney brat in need of a diaper change.Remember his pity-party about "Slave wages" etc.When He falls back on this tired mantra,he really does an injustice to the ignorant B.S and racism still with us in the real world.

    He sounds jealous and is craving the spotlight,what a drama queen!!

    Anytime you accuse someone of being racist whether it's subconscious or not you have a big problem on your hands.

    I do think that HBO has been a bit to critical of Floyd in recent years. They poured on the guy for fighting careful against Baldomir but Wlad did the same thing and they seemed to be much more understanding. Is that racist? I don't know, I really doubt it. It's really hard for anyone in the world of boxing to be racist. Golf, tennis yeah there are definitely pockets of racism that really can't be denied. Boxing? I don't see how anybody that mainstream could be racist even subconsciously, it's to diverse of a sport you would be shooting your own foot.

    That being said, if what he said about them making him accept a plea agreement when he caught that case then that is dead wrong and if that is true and his hand was forced then I really can't feel sorry for HBO as that is just not right. I remember the build up to that one and much was made of Mayweather's legal troubles by HBO and by Gatti and Floyd countered with Gatti's troubles with alcohol and everyone claimed Mayweather had hit below the belt. If that is true though then I wouldn't blame Floyd for blasting HBO.

    Do I think they are racist? No that's just not likely. For Mayweather to be the first guy to expose racists who have been on the air for 20 years just isn't likely. He's not the first black guy with legal troubles to walk through their doors.
