Here's a great radio interview with The Prince from earlier this year.
There's a very brief part where he talks about when Floyd met him back in the late 90s, he was a big Hamed fan and many say Floyd's persona is borrowed, at least in part, from The Prince himself. I guess that's somewhat self-evident.
"Me and Floyd were good friends back in the day. I used to see him when I first went to America in 97. He'd turned pro in 96. So at the time, he asked "how the hell you coming from your country to our country getting on HBO/Showtime and making all that money and we aren't?" That was the kind of vibe at first but now he's just taken over, he's the highest paid athlete in all sports"
