Floyd showing nothing but pure class this go around

[Diane]

Yep, pure class and professionalism, so much so, that last week when he held his open media workout, he showed up 1 hour and 15 minutes late, and the media was not allowed inside the gym until he arrived, so they were forced to wait outside in 106 degree temperature.

Yep, pure class that Floyd.

You might think differently if you were one of the many there that had to wait in 106 degree temps for 1 hour 15 minutes, or more if you arrived early.

You think that's professional? Really?

Lets not try to pretend that Floyd is the only fighter/person who's had a scheduling conflict... I mean would you wager that Cotto has never had a snafu in anything related to conflicts I doubt it

How do you know it was a scheduling conflict, and just not Floyd being Floyd?

And do you really want to compare his professionalism to Cotto's? I read everything, and anything related to Cotto, I have him on my Google Reader for Christ's sake, and never do I recall anyone from the media ever saying that Cotto has behaved unprofessional when it comes to the media. I've only seen nothing but praise for his professionalism. Do you see Cotto calling the HBO commentators racists? Or ranting and clapping his hands like a spoiled, insecure child when he gets called out by someone in the media? Have you seen Cotto call for the media to come to his gym and be late for it?

When you see that happen, let me know, then I'll say you can compare the two.

I do, I get about 2 alerts a day, so why don't you go and check your email account laughing boy?

I just gave you what I have received since Friday, I can send you more if you like.

And trust me, if I was anywhere near his boxers, you bet I would grab them. Hopefully, they would still be one him, and not on a clothesline.

The poor media

As someone who has worked as a journalist & cameraman, I can't say I have much sympathy. If it was genuine fans, I would think that was deplorable, but from experience I can tell you most journalists will be given every favour by a source/interviewee & promptly shove it back in their face once they've got what they wanted, part of the reason I lost enthusiasm for it.

In contrast, Floyd's behaviour in London was the complete opposite going outside & spending nearly an hour talking & signing things for the fans who had not been allowed into the gym by staff.

I know you can't stand him Diane, but like JT says if Cotto had done this would you really hold it against him? He has been criticized by the media, certainly in his own country, for being 'unprofessional' because of his drinking & alleged womanizing (not saying that's true). I certainly don't think this particular example is any more 'unprofessional' than that, although I don't consider either particularly so.

* I think Diane would probably go through his entire security team like she's Jack Bauer were she to get a shot at his underwear or what's beneath them. Now I've set her off.
