Advice from a black dude from "the HOOD" to all non-blacks and blacks who aren't hood: STOP TRYING TO UNDERSTAND FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. FROM A BOXING FANS PERSPECTIVE. I am going to try to break this down for you guys as good as I can. Floyd is HOOD. He talks hood. When not negotiating fights, he thinks hood. If you want to get to know how Floyd thinks, watch some of the highest PAID rappers in the industry such as Jay-Z, 50 cent or T.I.
It is common for a rapper to say some shit like: "I got money, I don't have to make another album for the rest of my life!"
Now think about Floyd saying he's about to take a couple years off.
Sounds very similar doesn't it.
Jay-z claimed he would retire between every album since his first album REASONABLE DOUBT in 1996. Yet he's had an album every year since except 04' to 06' when he went into a little retirement.
Floyd Mayweather Jr is doing what us people in the hood call "FRONTIN'". FRONTIN' is when you say some bullshit, just ****ing around. Like a dude might say: "This is my thursday car, I'ma copt (buy) something new for friday". That is called frontin'.
So next time you hear Floyd Mayweather Jr say some shit like: "I'm going to take a couple years off" While there is atleast 100 million dollars worth of fights out there for him, and the fact that he knows he is in decline, I want you to use a phrase that us people from the hood use when we hear that bullshit. "N***a stop frontin'"
Look out for FLoyd vs Pac or Martinez or maybe even Cotto (if he wins) later on this year...Trust me
May didnt grow up rich neither. He was raised in poverty not the burbs. He grew up with a crack head mother, hella people in one house, and recalled seeing his father get shot
Last I checked lil kids on here was running around talkin bout his team being filled with thugs and blah blah blah. Where you think that came from?
You dont have to bust ya gun and sell hella crack to be a real dude. Its been this confusion that the kid grew up where everything was all peaches and cream and that's where yall hella wrong
Mayweather "i remember see'in my dad comin home with a handful of big money stacks"

There is NOTHING "hood" about Floyd Jr. He did not grow up in the streets hustling, fighting, busting his gun, etc... He grew up in the gym and never worked a day in his life. His grandmother raised him.
Now Floyd Sr and Roger are "hood".
Like Nazim Richardson stated "How many street fights did this kid really have?"
It doesnt even take that to know the man not serious
I mean how dumb can you be. People believe he dont want to fight when all Manny had to do was agree to 14 days then and this fight woulda be happened
If you believe Floyd is retiring, you're a damn FOOL
That's cool...
What if you believed in his crusade to clean up the sport? I wanna know what class those people are in..
LMAO. Cause your hood and we're not means we are wrong?
My dude, First off like all of us here - you don't know Floyd in person or his intentions.
Two - just cause your hood don't make you look good - makes you look bad, brother. lol
