"Larry I watched two rounds of that WWF wrestlin' match, turned it off and went outside swimmin' wit ma kids."

i laughed out loud when he said it at first, but i thought it over.

for a guy that lives and breathes boxing, you know he watched that fight, not sure why he has to lie about **** like this to try to make himself look cool.

thats what you mayweather fans are supporting...an actor.. we all know he watched the fight..yet he lied on espn about it..pretty weak

Well, I just figured you were there since you 'know' he watched the whole fight.

Don't get mad, just answer the question.

Maybe he didn't pay his cable bill.

Try reading this part of the post again, and try to figure out why "you know":

"for a guy that lives and breathes boxing, you know he watched that fight."

Good luck!

Total speculation, and speculation doesn't amount to fact.

Good luck.

I didn't see Tszyu vs. Hatton, but was it really that bad?

I remember seeing threads on here saying that was a dirty fight and **** and the ref should be banned from boxing.

Mayweather said: "I didn't watch the Tszyu vs Hatton fight, I went swimming instead".

Hatton said: "for a guy that lives and breathes boxing, you know he watched that fight, not sure why he has to lie about **** like this to try to make himself look cool".

I agree with what Hatton's said... There's NO WAY Floyd didn't watch that fight! - He'd have been an idiot not too. This is his career and these are the guy's he's gonna face.

I think maybe Floyd WAS trying to look cool by saying he didn't watch it - (kinda like, "I'm so good, I'll beat anyone, I'm not even interested in what the World champion's doing in my weight class, blah, blah"... But no one really believes him.

I understand what you're saying Martin, but it's still all speculation on your part.

If anybody would be jackass enough to not watch the fight, it would be a jackass like Floyd.

I sometimes wonder if Floyd has reached the point where he knows he's never going to make any money based only on his skill and his (lack of) personality, so he's turning himself into a bad guy a la Muhammad Ali, so people pay for his fights only with hopes that he loses.

why is it that everytime this petite mf opens his mouth it smells like a ****in farm.he is full of himself which means he is full of ****.how can a ***** complain about the way another fight is going when he goes in the ring and runs around 3/4 of the fight.

Well, RoyFlapsHisLIps - I hear what you're saying but feel it's picking a little bit on a moot point.

jayr517 - I'm starting to like this (the man you LOVE to HATE!) marketing thing Mayweather's doing, because I'm really starting to want to see him get KTFO! So he's gotta be doing something right!... :dunno:

he has always been a **** talker. this is part of the marketing but this guy was born like this.

He's always been a bit ****y, but with this being his first big PPV fight, he's in ******* overdrive right now. The kid is desperate to be a star, and he thinks this is the way to endear himself to a particular fanbase.

I think he's just being a moron.

I wouldnt mind betting Floyd watched the whole fight, at least once too. Fighters always try to make out there not worried about the competetion out there.

Did not think it was that bad. When they were in the clinch (mostely a few seconds after they were separeted) both fighters kept on punching and no-one tied the other completely up (what Kostya should have done). Some referees break sooner than others.

It was a hard and tough fight but also exciting.

So many legends didnt **** talk their way to the hall of fame.

Hell yeah, look at the family. I always liked Roger as a fighter, but he's a major-league dick. Poppa Mayweather is out of his mind too.

The only one I've never seen act like an ass was Jeff, but he gets no airtime so he may be an ass--we just don't know it.

A certain amount of ****iness doesn't bother me, most fighters have it to a certain extent; but over-the-top assholism is a whole other thing

I agree... Prince Naseem used to be a ****y little bastard, and used to know how to get under peoples skin... But it was all showmanship, and tongue in cheek.

Mayweather's just coming across as a real arsehole with all this dissrespectfull crap.

Will he be swimming when Ricky goes over there and opens up his defensive style like a packet of crisps?

I think he will be thinking twice about his waste of time. Perhaps a little bit of order is needed before the fight. I think he should stop swimming and start thinking. After all this bull**** that is coming out of his mouth is making him look foolish, especially when he gets beat and his perfect record goes down the drain.

Having said that i have to mention to you lot that all he said was that he went swimming. Maybe this just means he was more concentrated on his own game, not others. A sign of a focused fighter? According to you lot it was a sign of ****yness but think outside of the box.
