    I think it's advisable for any son to have an intimidating and belligerent father removed from a property purchased with his money. If Marvin Gaye had done the same, he might be alive now. Extreme example, and not an exact parallel, but you get my point.

    I don't recall Floyd's exact words verbatim, but I think they concerned professionalism specifically.
    If Judah wants to be fool enough to start swinging like he's in some bar brawl, that's his business, but Mayweather shouldn't be criticized for setting a better example.
    This really is scraping the barrel.

    This is the only point I can sympathize with. It's embarrassing to see a fighter of Floyd's talent and dedication lowering himself by involvement with the WWE, but what can you do? If he thinks the money and publicity are too good to refuse, on his reputation be it.
    Realistically, it should all fade to little more than a tacky footnote in Floyd's career arc years from now.




    Floyd Mayweather gets more of this kind of criticism than is warranted.
    I do think there is a facet of his personality which betrays signs of arrested development, the ungainly thug affectations etc., a degree of which might be expected of a guy who went from a childhood spent in the gym straight into the bubble of pro-boxing. But there are a lot of good qualities to respect in him, imo, and he can reasonably be expected to mature past the few negative character traits he's exhibited up to now.

    Aside from everything else, he's a master of the boxing trade.
    Expect him to fight Cotto after De La Hoya, and expect his detractors to just as quickly find another name to prop up the charges of 'ducking' and 'running' if Cotto becomes Mayweather victim #39.

        - Floyd once through his own father out of the house that he bought for him, because of a minor disagreement. Whatever the reasons for thier fallout, you have to remember that his father is the one who put gloves on Floyd when Floyd was barely able to walk. His father is the one who laid the foundation for what Floyd has become today. To remove the roof over the head of your own father is a de****able act!

        Hahahaha. Everyone knows Floyd Sr. is a conceded ******* who has no respect for anyone but himself. He is self centered, greedy and narcasistic. Floyd has helped out his mother and other family members 10 fold, its his father who does not get along with the rest of the family, not Floyd. In fact, Floyd sr is not invited to attend Mayweather family functions anymore.
        Get your facts straight, Floyd kicked his father out of that house because his father doesnt show the respect and appreciation for FLoyd that he should for his boxing skills, and the fact that he even bought his father a house, after all the **** Floyd Sr. has done to Floyd in his life.


        - During the Judah/Floyd fight, Uncle Roger expressed his anger towards Judah for the lowblow and Rabbit punch. Once the melee occured, Floyd stood in the corner, while uncle Roger and took on both Judah and his father. When Floyd was asked why he didnt get involved, his response was "im not gonna **** up my money". Now some people might say that's smart on Floyd's behalf, but where is the family loyalty?

        Did Roger ask Floyd for help? Nope, he didnt need it. Floyd is smart in the ring, he doesnt let bull**** get in the way of what he is supposed to do in the ring, unlike Zab and Yoel. Roger wanted to make his feelings known, and he did that. If he isnt complaining, you have absolutly no right to be either.

        - Floyd is now selling out the fans who dedicated yrs to watching him move up through the ranks. He's participating in circus stunts like WWE, and a farce of a rematch in Sept with Oscar, instead of living up to his status of pfp#1, and taking on the real challenges. Once again, he is selling out for the power of the dollar

        Since Floyd has been p4p champ, he has fought Judah, Baldomir (champ at 147) Oscar and Hatton. No one can even attempt to say those boxers are not formidible competition. Im not in favor of a DLH rematch or him in the WWE, but only the ultimate hater would attempt to say that its not smart or that it doesnt make sense from his perspective. he will probably make 40 million from both events.

        Sooo...that just about puts an end to this thread...

          clearly not true, Floyd has said time and again that one of the reasons he is so focused on making lots of money is so that he can provide a great life for his children unlike his childhood. And they will not have to put their lives or health on the line to make money like he did.
