Floyd showing nothing but pure class this go around

[Bomp]

it always was showmanship from him, he's a decent guy IMO. They are one SERIOUSLY dysfunctional family though, it's brilliant television.

[Rican]

Just an observation, seems to be more real and candid instead of falsely being brash.. I think Floyd's learning that once you settle in to your own people are more supportive of you

Still seems real brash to me. Bragging about his home ("it's all paid..."), rolling dice with wads of cash with his family, still being connected to crimes. Nothing seems to have changed with Mayweather at all. So he was filmed giving food to homeless. Not very sincere. He basically was throwing it at the homeless like you throw food at animals at the zoo. Marquez was/is much more humble and real to me.

dude your just being a hater... So Floyd cant play dice with his family and have a sense of accomplishment in his life. Obviously money means alot to him, maybe your like me and you have no desire to be rich and live in the fast lane but he is doing what he pleases with his hard earned cash.

As far as Floyds charity work, unlike most I read all the Mayweather news not just the hate fuel that circulated, I have been aware of his charity work and giving back for a while now enough to know that clip on 24 wasnt a one time PR stunt..

My point of the thread was, he has been more fan friendly, been cordial and less surly with his brashness to the media(excluding Brian Kenny which you can tell had a bit of showmanship by both parties) and HASNT said a disparaging word about Marquez nothing but respect and class. Even Roger hasnt said a peep about Nacho.

Very nice promotion, hope this is what Floyd chooses to stay with, its the real him and is a great balance between being respectful and showcasing his flashy lifestyle. He is gaining in popularity you can tell and will probably start solidifying it more if he dominates JMM in an exciting way. I think that will sway the people even more.

If both can get past their opponents you have the perfect stage set for a Pac PBF showdown, because of how nauseating SOME of Pac's fans can be coupled with Roaches opportunistic caniving to put Pac's opponents at a disadvantage I can see Floyd getting a big push in popularity and support

Why must I be a hater when I am simply calling it like I see it? Mayweather seems the same to me in every way. True, he is more subdued this time, but I believe that is because Marquez is not very loud, flamboyant, or media/fan friendly as Hatton was. If he was, you would see Floyd's antics/behavior more blatantly than you see them now, trying to outdo Marquez and be the loudest at the party. When Cotto beats Pac and Floyd is forced to fight him, Floyd will probably be more subdued as well since Cotto has that laid-back, professional style about him that won't incite attention starved people like Floyd.

In terms of the money issue, you can still have a sense of accomplishment without bragging about what you have. I don't see these rich celebrities bragging about what they have. It makes Floyd more unlikable IMO.

he has always done charity work fools.

So you dislike brash, flashy boxers? You must have really got irritated by Trinidad then.

When Floyd came & did an open workout session in London, he was very open with fans as you could see if you unearth Smashup's thread on it. Let's face it with some people, he could rescue babies from a burning building & people would still say he was being arrogant.

On your point, maybe he just respects Marquez more than Hatton or Oscar, guys whose popularity was disproportionate to their talent.

I fail to see how that is a problem

[KananKrus]

I like to think tho', that the new Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a direct result of the maturity that has finally found him as a willing partner, at this particular stage in his life. (bar the skating rink incident, LOL. Everyone is entitled to a benefit of a doubt, fellas!).

Looking at the world (boxing) around him, must have made him find a new appreciation at what his peers have all been doing, and the direct, positive results that respectively, have since enriched their lives.

This is one form of envy that can only have but all things positive written all over it! No shame in it Floyd Jr.!

I wonder though, why he is contemplating a switch to wrestling!

Contradictory?.... How about that?

I noticed that my self in the few press confrences I have seen and 24/7 I hope that he continues this attitude I would become a fan

When he says things like "he's gonna give his best, I'm gonna give my best and we're gonna give the fans a hell of a fight." That's exactly what I want to hear. He is obviously giving JMM a lot of respect and I commend him for that. I have to think that if he would have talked like that since the beginning, he would have had more fans all along. Of course, I still have a lot of friends that will buy the PPV exclusively in the hopes that PBF will get beat because he has played the villain for so long.

[Rocky Balboa]

What his intentions are I don't know but I do know that he has found the middle ground between the flashy lifestyle and the classy attitude. I do have to say however that DLH and Hatton both spoke English and had a huge fanbase while JMM doesn't really have either.
