RAFAEL: "This Was The Best Episode Of 24/7 Ever"

[Gino Ros]

There was a reason the show is called 24/7 and that is what they signed up for. So what he called his father a f@ggot? If that is how he felt then so be it. I would call my father worse given the chance. People still caught up on titles.

If father never acknowleges his and one day he has a change of heart and walks up on his son tells and shows him proof that he is indeed his father and the son says "get out of my face f@ggot!" you think the son is out of line?

Just trying to get a read on where you coming from by taking this away from Sr and Jr.

I see equal/worse family squabbles on television (for example, Real Housewives.).

STILL, I would not personally do what Junior did. I would walk away. Or so I'd like to think.

I viewed it as two different discussions.

The 41-1 was before things got real hot. Before "**** your gym", which was the escalating phrase.

I took the 41-1 discussion as part of the earlier "My camp is fine. We're undefeated and we're gonna stay undefeated" discussion.

I didn't... it was right in the middle of the argument.

Why??cause floyd and his father argued??it was terrible and embarrasing,if the argument made it great then thats sad,had 0 to do with boxing and actual preparation,more like a ****** ass reality show a knock off of basketball wives or jersey shore...might as well just make a show called the Mayweathers..if thats what people call entertainment then oh well,but i watched it one time and im to ashamed to watch that crap again

Of course someone who doesnt care for floyd would enjoy a moment like that,sad,sad,sad.i felt bad for that family..did anyone even notice the security guard walking Floyds little girl away cause he didnt want her to see her father and grandfather arguing???

I have to admit I felt exactly as you described when watching it.

And yes, I did notice that the child was escorted out and away. It was just a mess.

You are absolutely correct. Its had absolutely nothing to do with boxing. It should be called "The Mayweathers". Its entertaining in the same sense of a car wreck. You cannot look away.

I just hated seeing them air their laundry like that on television. It was almost painful. It obviously made for great ratings but still ... Larry was dead on with his comments.

This is at a Christening.

Exactly to the bold but its PBF anything he does will be blown out of proportion.

Its easy to say you would walk away because its hard for you to even imagine having that type of relationship with your father let alone that type of argument.

I can say for a fact that I wouldn't walk away cause to me I wouldn't be arguing with a man I respect so I would feel no way about what was said or if it became physical.

When floyd was talking about his cases that was great TV. Watching him play the fake gangsta and pop isht is funny and good TV. I could do without watching a father threaten to kick his son's a$$ and the son calling the father a fa&&ot on TV.

Reed,

I WENT BACK AND WATCHED, And I think that you are right, and I mis-interpreted how things unfolded.

While Floyd was INITIALLY trying to diffuse the situation, about midway, he came back with the "nobody wants to be with you" line. Which is hurtful and non-productive.

You made the better call. Thanks.

[Eaner0919]

When Floyd say 41-1, he meant that he would whoop his son's ass. Not Victor, FYM.

agreed I got the sense that he was talking about himself beating the **** out of Floyd

[MindBat]

I don't view this as a Black American thing. I view it as a "sports dad" thing.

Some sports dads can be extremely harsh on their kids. It's nothing new. It's "supposedly" a taboo subject to talk about. I've witnessed dads at little league, and football games lose it and go nuts on their kids, cursing them out as if they were adults.

To most in that environment, it's the norm. To a few, it never fails to leave them flabbergasted at the conduct.

Naturally, kids grow up with a disdain for their dads far into adulthood.

[BuckToothed]

To understand what that fight was about, all you have to do is look at Roger's reaction... He had none.
He knew this was just a father and son thing.

Prolly, same ****, different day for him.
