Floyd showing nothing but pure class this go around

[JazMerkin]

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.

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.
