some excerpts from Kevin Iole's latest article posted today...
Mayweather spends a lot of money, but clearly he doesn’t spend it on wise counsel. Too many persons close to him have whored themselves out and ignored his increasingly irrational behavior because of his ability to generate money. As a result, his ego has swollen out of control and he’s lost all sense of perspective. They’ve turned their heads to his often bizarre and distasteful behavior because he could increase the bottom line in their checking accounts.
...
Mayweather is surrounded daily by yes men and sycophants who will be nowhere to found when the gravy train runs dry. Mayweather scoffs at suggestions he’ll ever have financial difficulties – and hopefully for his children’s sake, he will not – but he need look no further than Tyson to realize it’s far from impossible to blow a $400 million fortune.
...
The video depicts Mayweather as a short-sighted, small-minded man who doesn’t have the attention span of a 3-year-old. In it, he insists he’s on a vacation that he says could last longer than a year and says he has no urge to box now. He doesn’t have the self control to leave it at that.
Clearly, he’s jealous of the attention and star treatment Pacquiao is receiving, so in the next breath, he intimated he would return to fight Pacquiao.

I don't think it is that deep, I can see why he says certain parts of that and he certainly has yes men but Floyd has done **** like this for a long ass time and it has worked.
I certainly don't think it is short sighted since it shows Manny is still the plan (to me it shows that anyways) and having a plan that is basically a year out is not short sighted in boxing.
Plan??? What plan??? Dude you are just as short-sighted as all the other flomo-homo's!!!
Some of What IOLE said is just WAY over the line and completely ludicrous.
IOLE is an awful journalist.
He is SO overly negative about boxing that I am baffled as to why he still covers the sport. Nobody wants him, yahoo should hire another guy
IOLE IS JUST BEING IOLE. That is, he has an agenda.
Iole was a pro-Mayweather journalist. But he decided to leave the May camp after the "Vacation" issue. Now he is out there to rip Mayweather.
Iole rarely is a good journalist. He always has his agenda. Before it was an irrational, "Mayweather can't do no wrong" agenda. Now, he dislikes Floyd, so he rips him.
Iole we fans know your sh*t. Why Yahoo pays this clown for this kind of buffoonery is a mystery.
Of course Floyd is jealous of Pac. Pac has what Floyd wants. FOTD award is what Floyd wanted, but didnt get, so hes got to trash Pac now!
Bruce lee wanted Stever Mcqueens fame and money, and Steve Mcqueen wanted Bruces ability. But only in this case Pac dont want nothing Floyd has got, apart from wanting a fight with him
LMAO...It just getting better and better every day.
Wait till the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight is signed and the first thread is created after the first episode of 24/7..
no not all pinoys are humble people. half are but half arent. the ones in the U.S. anyways. most of them dont even claim "ASIAN" as their race. they claim "pacific islander" which makes them look ignorant. but the filipinos from the phillipines claim asian. just the ones from the states tend to think they arent asian and call themselves pacific islanders but thats a whole nother topic.
the fil-am's in the US suddenly became "proud filipinos" when pacquiao burst into the scene. when manny retires, they'll be back to becoming fil-am's, maybe just am's :D

i dont know if this is true becaue i remember oscar saying that floyd is jealous and then hatton said floyd is jealous and now manny say floyd is jealous.
i think floyd just act like this and it make him money.
pinoys are humble people who dont have to act this way
I agree as far as him being Jealous of the "COVERAGE" that Pacman gets as far as awards and rankings and all that stuff from the Media, yes I do think he has a serious problem with that I don't know about all that Spinning out of Control and all that other stuff, I know he yells too damn much while he is on Ustream lol
Why would you need anybody to assess Floyd? If it is true that he's spending money like a drunken sailor, then what he needs are not ball lickers and sycophants. He needs people who tell it like it is.
