Ellerbe says...I say....

So, you have made millions of dollars? You have worked closely with the very best in your business? Newspeople seek you out for your opinions?

Cong**** on all that.

]So, you have made millions of dollars? NO.

You have worked closely with the very best in your business? Yes

Newspeople seek you out for your opinions? Yes.

You are as guilty as Leonard is.

Absolutely agree. Except for the **** sucking part.

Floyd's father and uncle Jeff have always stated that Floyd has an entourage of ego strokers and it's really pathetic.

I read an interview where Jeff was stating that originally, he and Ellerbe were friends and that he feels terrible that he even was suckered by Ellerbe. He stated he thought Ellerbe was his friend when Ellerbe was no more than a gold digger who wanted to get in.

Ellerbe had the foresight to know that the bronze medalist was going to be fabulously wealthy?

"Floyd Sr". Now THERE is an objective source.

Listen. I don't know LE. He could be a prince of a guy. He could be a complete ****sucker. But the criticism on here seems as egregious as what he is being criticized of. Odd, no?

Dios, I don't know him either. However, discernment can assist one in making a fairly educated opinion about him. I am not a fan of the trash talk that Leonard or any of the Mayweather's does.

I am not privy to the inside dealings. I was just informing that in an interview, Jeff really stated that Leonard befriended him because Floyd was his nephew. He said he was fooled by Leonard because he used to act like he was just cool with Jeff. He (Leonard) used to purchase his tickets to the fight, etc. Jeff then asked Floyd to hire him as a bodyguard and eventually, Leonard and Jeff stopped speaking, with the same happening w/ Floyd to follow.


I can post a link if you'd like. I do not think he sucks penis, but I do think he is a paid entourage member who is an ego stroker. He and Floyd could absolutely stop cursing and using invectives. It's just not necessary.

He's being criticized for being part of Floyd's "entourage". Nothing more and nothing less. You have promoters, trainers, fathers, managers, and even wives talking trash for other fighters and nothing is said, but because LE is with Floyd he is singled out. How many times has Shane Mosley's wife shot off her mouth about other fighters? And she is praised for it. Plain and simple, this is another chance for haters to attack something Floyd Mayweather.

Ellerbe met PBF before PBF became famous

But Leonard became friends back when Floyd was headed to the Olympics...no?

call me crazy, but being an Olympian is FAR from a guarantee of success (paging Zaheer Rahim).

How did Big L know what PBF would turn out to be? How could he?

This was the 1996 Olympic team that went to Atlanta:

106: Albert Guardado, Topeka, Kan.
112: Eric Morel, Madison, Wis.
119: Zahir Raheem, Philadelphia, Pa.
125: Floyd Mayweather, Grand Rapids, Mich.
132: Terrance Cauthen, Philadelphia, Pa.
139: David Diaz, Chicago, Ill.
147: Fernando Vargas, Oxnard, Calif.
156: David Reid, Philadelphia, Pa. (1st)
165: Rhoshii Wells, Riverdale, Ga.
178: Antonio Tarver, Orlando, Fla.
201: Nate Jones, Chicago, Ill.
+201: Lawrence Clay-Bey, Hartford, Conn

Two guys became stars, and Tarver had a good career and some notoriety. David Reid is best known as a Trinidad victim. Rhoshii Wells can walk in the room and I wouldn't know him.

I like Leonard Ellerbe. I met him down in Miami, he was a really cool guy, and he is a smart businessman. He is just saying this stuff to get you guys hyped up like you are now.

...and you are talking about Ellerbe. Do you think he talks about YOU?

I'm a secret agent, he doesn't know I exist.
