According to promoter Don King, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not pleased with his current representation. King doesn't name any person in particular, but Mayweather would have to be unhappy with either Golden Boy Promotions, or manager/adviser Al Haymon. Mayweather has been hanging out with King for the last few days in Florida and the two men have been discussing the possibility of working together. 

Mayweather has worked with Golden Boy on a fight by fight basis for his last four ring appearances. King says Mayweather feels a certain level of disrespect from the people he is currently working with.

"We're hanging out to see what happens," King told the New York Daily News. "He's been here for five days. We've gone out to dinner. We went to a comedy show in Miami. We're going to have a barbecue at my house. We've been talking about his future and where he wants to go and what he wants to do. Right now he's not sure what he wants to do."

"For him it's all a matter of the disrespect that he's feeling and them not listening to him. It's all about pride and dignity. I understand him completely because we share a common background as rising from the ghetto. He wants his dignity, his respect and his pride to remain intact and he wants to get paid. That's where I come in. I'm the mix master."

King and Mayweather have discussed a future fight with Manny Pacquiao. As the New York Daily News points out, it's not the first time Mayweather has met and spoken with King about possibly working together. After their previous meetings, Mayweather went back to the people he was working with. King is going to sit back and wait for Mayweather to make a decision.

"Floyd is the star. It ain't Pacquiao that's driving things," King said. "I don't care if Floyd fights Pinocchio or Betty Boop, he's going to be the star and he's going to make money. I'm just playing it cool and hoping things work out for his benefit. He's not here on a fluke. He's not happy where he's at. Either way it's going to be good for him.

"If he comes with me I'm going to make him bigger than he can imagine. If he goes back with them, they're going to give him the kitchen sink. ... I'm laying in the cut and hoping something works out. If not, we're having fun."
