    Mayweather Giving back to the Community

    This is an excellent series of recent interviews of floyd mayweather making a personal appearance in washingston D.C, on memorial day, mayweather goes around schools and other places giving talks to children and parents on fitness and education within communities.

    Its 3 parts long, but i have posted up part 2 first, because he says some very interesting things about his life, de la hoya signing the may 5th contract, and boxing in general.

    This isnt mainstream so i highly doubt this is acting,

    Wanted to know your thoughts on what he says

    I am sure deep down inside.. Floyd Mayweather aint the TOTAL **** he appears to be...

    But you know after seeing that 24/7 clip where is throwing his money at the camera.. Showing us his typical "on the town" wad of bills he carries.. and basicaly having a wank over how much he loves money...

    I find it hard to believe any of his charity is nothing but a publicity stunt...

    I know I am being a cynical bastard.. But maybe Floyd needs to learn how to play the media.. becasue he is a ****ING disaster in that department..

      I dont think so, i think he is very smart, people pay to watch him lose, then they dont get what they want, and pay to see him lose again.

      Did you watch the video? if not, watch it and see what you think, he said some pretty major things about how he got the may 5th contract, well, to me they were major anyways, but i dont wanna say incase people dont watch it. lol.

        lol.
        He's probably the first boxer in history that more people PAY just for the chance of seeing him lose than win. It's really quite hilarious when you think about it. But whatever works I guess.

            I know not everyone has the means to watch this video so ill sumarrise some of the point he made to do with boxing.

            1) He says he got Oscar to sign the may 5th contract by saying nice things about him, like saying how great he was, he then says he got into oscar's head by saying 'crazy' stuff to him at the press conferences, he reckons this screwed with oscar a bit,

            Most importantly he said he knew he won the fight when oscar looked him in the face when they met in the centre of the ring (Oscar never does that, he wont look at his opponent) , he says Oscar was beaten already from that point. He implies Oscar wouldnt sign the contract unless he got everything his own way.

            2) He says the de la hoya fight was the one fight he'd been working for, for 20 years, he won, and he wants to spend more time with his children, for now he says he isnt coming back.

            3) He says His father was in his camp for two weeks prior to the fight, and then he left because he couldnt control the camp the way he wanted, and thats the reason mayweather sr left camp. So there are obviously jealousy issues there.

            4) He says weight and speed have nothing to do with why he won his fights, he says he is the smartest fighter out there and that was the reason he became what he is.
