Jeff Mayweather: "He's not 50 cent"

[borikua]

Old interview, but funny...

Rizwaan: What exactly happened between you and Floyd?

Jeff Mayweather: For me, it was a choice to leave. I always try to put my best foot forward and I’m all about family, and up until his like 10th fight, I never took a dime from Floyd Jr. I’m a modest person, I don’t need the fame. In my heart, I know what I have done. That's good enough for me. One day, when we were doing a radio show in Vegas, he shows up with James Prince. Myself or Roger didn’t know anything about this guy, but Floyd wanted him there. Floyd was the one whom put him on the fight scene, that’s how he got Winky Wright and Diego Corrales, Mark "Too Sharp” Johnson and also former IBF Jr Lightweight Champion, Steve "Two Pound" Forbes. I think he just took him to Houston and showed him the big houses, the nice cars and many other things as well. He also promised Floyd that he can establish his own rap label. Soon after, Floyd would act like he wanted to be a thug or something, he didn’t have any real life struggles or lived in the projects or did anything to give him any street credibility. He grew up with a loving family in which we all did our part to help him reach his dreams. He never even worked a job growing up. He’s not 50 cent.

Hell, he’s not even 20 cent (laughing). At the end of the day, it was just wasted time and money with James Prince, as matter of fact, Prince is a pretty cool guy. I don't point the finger at him, he's not the source.

"He pretends to be a thug and a rap music hard-guy, but it's all an act."
-Mike Marley

The youngest uncle of Floyd claims that he hasn't spoken to his nephew in 8 years. "We don't have anything to talk about. What are we gonna talk about, 50 Cent? Snoop Dogg?"

"You want to be like 50 Cent? Go get shot nine times."

-Jeff Mayweather

"It was like a Joe Jackson situation, where he created this monstrous machine, but he wasn't able to teach him how to be a man. Don't get me wrong, Floyd Senior accomplished making his son into a great fighter. Joe Jackson was successful in making Michael Jackson into probably the greatest entertainer ever. But look at him as a person. Just like Floyd is a great fighter, but look at him as a person. Sometimes that's the price that you pay when you focus on only one thing."

I think Jeff is right about Mayweather.

but who is the hell is James Prince?

THat guy could be worst than Don King

I don't see where Floyd tried to act like he was street. I don't know about his struggles for sure. Struggling doesn't give you street cred neither does being shot.

Wrong. Floyd Sr. looks like the Predator.

To be honest, I don't see where Floyd acts like a thug either. He basically just brags about his money. Rap doesn't have to be about drugs, bitches and guns.

[The Weebler]

Floyd's gonna end up get extorted by one of these Gs if he keeps going the way he's going.

He's confused hip hop with real life
