Ricky Hatton: "Floyd Mayweather is a Clown"

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

ManLaws: don't check another's man's pocket.. or penis.

Since you want to talk about the people giving him his money and how they should be able to resent him for the way he is with his money. Do you think its ok for whoever you work for that gives you your paycheck to tell you that they think its classless of you buy whatever it is you like to buy with your money? You see how ****** that **** is? You earned that money so it is now YOUR money and you can and should be able to spend, and flaunt that money anyway you want to without anybody having any comments or feelings because it should concern them what YOU do with YOUR MONEY.

That is an interesting point. If your boss or HR manager was some crazy Christian, would you be OK with him telling you that you can't go to the strip club on Saturday nights? That you shouldn't buy a 12-pack of Miller High Life? That you shouldn't rent the services of your favourite Asian ******?

I have said that Floyd spends too much money. If he ends up broke at 50, you will get the last laugh. In the meantime, you can't obsess about his pockets or hate him for it.

Hatton is %100 correct in his asessing of Floyd Mayweather. You know, Roy Jones used to be full of himself and talk about himself in the third person and all that, but he did all that with CHARISMA and you knew besides all the crap he talked that he was just doing it for fun, kind of like Ali did. Everyone knows Jones is a nice guy out of the ring as well. When Mayweather talks about himself, you just can't help but dislike the guy. He does it with arrogance and is the epitome of gaudy "hip-hop thugishness". I just can't stand the guy and hope he realizes one day that he acted like such an ******.

Unless any of you actually know the brother personally, it would be safe to say that you all need to shut ya' pieholes..for real. How would anyone know what mayweather is like "outside of the ring" or when he's not in front of the cameras unless you hang out with him. As far as Im concerned he's an astute businessman who knows what temperment is needed in order to sell tickets. That brash..so called conceited nature that he displays in front of the cameras is a huge reason why his bout w/ de la hoya was the biggest live gate & ppv attraction in the history of the sport. Oscar does his numbers regardless but he never broke the record w/ anyone else he's faced (and de lay hoya has faced just about every big name to come along the past 10-15 yrs). Hell, you won't find one boxer in the sport who doesnt want to make the kind of money he & oscar made in their last fight..so to say he's a "money whore" is assinine. Anybody who's seen FMJ fight knows he's doesnt stand "toe 2 toe" and trade shots w/ wreckless abandon regardless of who he's facing even when it's obvious he could score the k-o. He's one of the best pure boxers the sport has seen in the decade; therefore, if you chose to believe all the hype about him taking the fight to de la hoya then that was your ******ity as the viewer. He's gonna stick 'n move all night, stay in the pocket or on the ropes..slip & block punches..then counter 'n pot shot his way to an easy decision..period.

As for the comment about the so called "hip hop thugishness", obviously you know not what you speak. Ive never seen the brother toting knives or guns..talking that shoot 'em up -ish or throwing gang signs up..so what exactly is the thug persona he's portraying (esp. for a person who gets paid to lay hands on people)? Loving money dont make you thug..how you choose to obtain that money can possibly make you thug..but FMJ is a professional athlete. One who is young, stanky rich, doesn't give a damn about what the critics or detractors think, and oh yeah..is extremely good at what he does. Talking a lil -ish (and many boxers do it)..dont make you thug, nor does throwing a lil money in the air "making it rain". What people dont shed light on is he's a good father & son (at least to his mother & grandmother)..and a documented philanthropist who has his own non profit charitable organizations and helps others less fortunate on a regular basis. Chuuuch

Damn... the Hitman just sprayed the joint.

Solid. Very solid.

Nah, that 'selling tickets' angle is total ****. He'd sell more if he shut up and talked politely. Tiger Woods doesn't talk **** about Mickelson, though that fat **** is ripe for it. Jordan never had to talk **** about Malone or Ewing.

Most respectable people can't stand a braggart, and don't want to see that cash. Nothing wrong with him having money, but put it in trust funds for your grandkids.

Floyd's attitude hurts his marketability, the only people who like his attitude can't afford a PPV

Remember how you asked me to let you know when you were being closed-minded and hyperbolic?

Don't speak on what you don't know. Besides your comment on Tiger Woods not trash talking everything in your post is either completely wrong or **** you just don't know about. How do you know he doesn't already have a trust fund for his grandkids? What foolish comment to say that "the only people who like his attitude can't afford a PPV". Thats just ****ing ******ed where did you come up with that from? Jordan is known as one of the most vicious trash talkers the NBA has ever seen. **** he made up a story about a former Washington Bullets player trash talking him just for motivation and he went out and scored 36 points in the 1st ****ing half.
Do yall ever think people want to do things their own way and not a brown noser and ass kisser like some people did to get where they are at?

[Sinisterevo]

controversy is what people want...just look at how many pages this thread has.

That Hatton remark was hilarious.

PaPa Ace,

The girl on the right in your sig has a nice rack. Her face is suspect, but she is well-endowed for an Asian girl.
