Floyd Mayweather OWNED by Jeff Mayweather

[2501]

If the shoe fits wear it. Floyd doesn't talk about Jeff, Jeff talks about Floyd. Theres a reason for that. Jeff watches Floyd, Floyd isn't paying attention to Jeff. Jeff has spoken about Floyds personal life, he's talked about his mother saying she hasn't done **** for him, he says he's not a man....I mean thats some **** to say about your nephew because he can opt to say nothing. I haven't heard FLoyd being disrespectful to JEff in any way...I don't see FLoyd saying oh Jeff isn't intelligent or Jeff is this or that, I don't respect that. And watch who you're calling a child I am well over 21. Floyd has children 5 of them, If I were FLoyd I'd tell that man to watch his mouth when speaking about me or I would have to deal out consequences. Floyd isn't trying to be like 50 cent, he's friends with him. He's not trying to be involved in hip hop, he is, he's the provided money for Beyonces tour and Mary j. Blije. Something Jeff Mayweather could only dream of. here comes a time when you have to say well if this man is doing so good for himself perhaps there is something I can learn from him. Rather then just being a crtic. If you don't see the envy in this man when speaking on a nephew whom isn't too far from his age then you are delusional.

i guess you missed the Ellerbe interview when he explained that they purposely changed Floyd's image to appeal to the urban hip hop market because they felt it was untapped hence the new persona.

im telling you little kids put some much faith in floyd its amazing you muthu****as aint start a religion yet.

Once again you don't realize your speaking to someone grown who watches boxing and has been watching boxing far before Floyd Mayweather made t.v. I AM TELLING YOU he is involved in Hip Hop and making major money. Artist make their money from tours if FLoyd is paying for the tour than that means he's making more off of Beyonces tour then she is....Once again something you can learn. So switching his image might've been the right thing to do despite the fact you don't like him he is acouple more million up in bank and despite the fact you don't like him his kids will be taken care of long after he dies...which is what I would call Intelligent. Maybe just like Floyd changed his image to make more money and be more successful, you should try changing your point of view so you can stop being a critic and learn froma successful business man.

If you honestly cant see the intelligence in the things this man does, then I'll accept it and just say ok **** it. Because I'm not even gonna attempt to argue with you if you can't see that.

Seems to me that you are more a fan of his business ventures and success, than u are of the sport.

Floyd's uncle, former contender and trainer Jeff Mayweather, says that Floyd has been a detriment to himself with his gangsta image. "He got caught up in that hip hop bull****. Floyd went down the wrong path and buying into this image of cars and ***elry and making himself look like a fool. He's acting like he's n*gga rich. As an athlete that made 40 million dollars already, why would he have to project that image at all?"


"Pretty Boy's" autobiography will probably read like a Horatio Alger novel. "I looked up to drug dealers because that's where I came from," says Floyd Junior. "My father was a drug dealer, my mother was on drugs. It was never a cake walk for me."


"He never had one bad day," says Jeff Mayweather. "I don't give a **** about his father selling drugs. His father was providing for him. He never had his son out selling drugs. His mother was a crackhead, but she never did **** for him anyway. When he talks about that, those are just images. While his parents were out messing up, his Grandmother was raising him. That's who was taking care of him."


Most of Floyd's image stems from his open defiance of convention and standards, the standoffish look-at-me-now attitude that suggests a desire to be seen as a great entity his way. Jeff Mayweather claims that the persona of Floyd is merely a false representation of who he is as a person.


"How could you be a thug when you haven't done nothing your whole life?" Jeff Mayweather asked of his nephew rhetorically. "You never were in the hood, you never did nothing but box your whole life. You never had to struggle, you weren't starving. That whole story about him wanting for things is bull****. At some point in his life he decided that this is the image he wanted to project because it's a facade."


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."


Nonetheless, Floyd's incredible talent does continue to enthrall and fascinate young fans, who are the most impressionable among observers. (I guess that explains Horus, Burner and Money May) Like Muhammad Ali, Ray Leonard, and Roy Jones before him, he is the fighter that kids at the local boxing gyms strive to emulate.


But 12-year-olds don't buy tickets. The crowd that buys tickets to boxing fights are influenced by the media. That's where Floyd Junior's negative image most reveals itself as a detriment. "It's his personality," says Jeff Mayweather. "That's why Floyd's not accepted. The way he lives his life."


The Floyd Mayweathers' have long had a strained relationship, which became irreparable when, at age 15, the young Floyd Junior parted ways with his father, who was on his way to prison for selling drugs. For five years Floyd Junior was his own man, an independence he had never previously enjoyed.


"Once he got that feeling, "says Jeff, "he never wanted to be back in that situation. It's a sad situation that can never be fixed, unless little Floyd becomes a man."


"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."


HBO's 24/7 show profiled the contrast between De La Hoya and Mayweather. Oscar, as usual, was depicted as the good guy. Floyd was cast as the villain. Jeff Mayweather feels that Floyd missed out on an opportunity to alter public perception of himself.


"Floyd's not even intelligent enough to realize how he's being portrayed. He could've shown people that he was an alright guy. Sadly, he doesn't realize he's being made a fool of on national TV. It's an embarrassment to me and my last name."


While Jeff Mayweather lambastes Floyd Junior as a person, he equally praises his worth as a fighter. "As far as ability, Floyd is the best fighter on the planet. No one even comes close. He will have to go down as a great fighter. As far as securing the legacy that he wants, no he won't, if he stays retired (after Hatton)."

Floyd's constant battle for respect hit a snag when, before the Carlos Baldomir fight, he claimed to be the superior of "Sugar" Ray Robinson, the generally-accepted pick for greatest boxer of all time.


"He was out of line when he said that," Marley says. "We all made fun of it from the TV, but it's better than Mr. Humble Pie with the 'I do my talking in the ring' lines. He likes to provoke and stimulate. I don't think he believes half of what he says about himself. You're not always gonna like what he says, but you have to admit he's never dull."

Hauser analyzes, "Floyd Mayweather is a very good fighter, but he still hasn't had that signature fight to prove that he is a legendary great. He would be competitive with most fighters in his weight class in any generation. But being competitive with someone doesn't mean you could beat them. As a fighter, I don't think Floyd belongs in that category. Certainly he hasn't proven it yet."


"I would love to see Mayweather fight Miguel Cotto," says Hauser. Maybe Floyd would outbox Cotto over twelve rounds or maybe Cotto would wear him down. I don't think we're going to see Floyd Mayweather get in the ring with Miguel Cotto any time soon. Floyd Mayweather fighting Ricky Hatton isn't going to prove anything. Floyd is bigger than Ricky, he's too fast for him. That's just a money fight. A fight against Shane Mosley would be interesting, although I think Shane is too slow for Mayweather right now. When [Floyd] fought Oscar, he was seeking the most marketable opponent possible. If he wants to win the hearts of hardcore boxing fans, he should seek out the toughest opponents in his weight class."

Jeff is a huge world apart from his brothers. He's well spoken and humble. This is the guy floyd should look up to, he is the true man of that family. How the hell did a level headed, intelligent man come out of that chaotic family. I know that dude is hurtin. Seems like he loves his family. Much respect to someone who can maintain and come out the better man out of similar upbringings. Love his articles too. The mayweathers should be proud he's representing.

motha****a you're talking to an ex promoter. i know exactly how the industry works. i never said he wasnt intelligent or hasn't made brilliant business moves, you are assuming that because your feelings for floyd transcend normal fanship and cross the line into something deeper. im agreeing with jeff that Floyd has put on a facade for money. any fool with out PBF posters in their bathrooms can see that. when you become more of a business man than a boxer, quality will not always be the priority and you as a "business man" should understand that right?

look at the record industry right now. content with substance doesn't sell. gone are the days when someone like Nas was able to go platinum with albums that had for substance than flash. Gone are the days when singer/songwriters ruled the airwaves such as Fiona Apple and Sara McGlaughlan, but now its manufactured "pop princesses" who are carefully sculpted to appeal to a certain target audience, a certain demographic naive and ignorant enough of the situation that they will shell out money for the product that is being sold.

Thats the same **** that Floyd is doing now. He is bypassing content with substance (significant fights) for insubstantial content that sells (DLH, Hatton) therefore not producing anything of quality or significance. And the funny thing is Floyd can get all the money he wants. I dont give a **** and I'm not jealous. I know of drug kingpins with more money and bitches Floyd could dream of that I could be jealous of. But if he is going to profit off of the labels he has been given, P4P champ etc, and not live up to the standards of those who were labeled that in the past that made the sport what it is today, then you damn well better expect people, fans, the community to criticize this fool because its never going to end. live with it.

Seems to me that you are more a fan of his business ventures and success, than u are of the sport.

From the guy who jumps from fighter to fighter saying the exact same ****: Floyd is ducking (insert fighters name here) and will lose if he ever had the balls to fight them. When Floyd does fight them you jump to the next fighter.

See Hatton -----> Cotto.

Fan of the sport? Yeah sure you are.

flawless victory

Jeff sounds bitter and jealous of FLoyd. He's not as good nor as smart as Lil FLoyd thats why he couldn't beat Oscar when they fought, thats why he also hasn't made as much money as lil FLOYD. Lil Floyd just paid for the Michigan Amatuers to take place and he's throwing benefits for the kids. Jeff needs to stop being a hater, he's the fool. Do u mean having a Drug Dealer and a crackhead as a mother and father isn't hurtful on a childs psyche? **** a Jeff Jealous Mayweather. Floyd is the real deal. HIs work for the community>>>>>>> Jeffs Words of Envy.

I can guarantee my childhood was worst then Mayweathers... I dont run around bragging about it and acting like a thug though.
The thing is kid, that's how you guys think... and it's your mentality that's wrong with you.
When someone is telling you the truth you don't want to hear it because you are so out of touch with reality.. you just think it's an attack against you and call someone a "hater".
Life isn't only about money.. despite what the rap videos tell you and I highly doubt Jeff is living a horrible life.. so what's there to be jealous about?

Jeff said some real **** and I agree..

It's funny that even his own family sees the error of his mistakes and kids like you can't!
This is coming from his own family!!... his own uncle and his own father.

If you didn't love your child would you take a bullet for him and mess up the rest of your boxing career?? No.. So believe what Sr.. no matter how much of a prick is saying and Jeff is too when talking about Floyd.

And get your head out of your ass because people have better things to do in life then be "haters".
