    I guess Floyd is big time now. He's like a household name.

        Lots of people read the New York Times.. it should at least get him some more recognition..
        Wether he is a household name or not? We are gonna have to wait and see when he fights someone who isn't as well known, then we will know depending on the numbers he does..

          Bitter about what? They compared him to the likes of Paris Hilton, and questioned his reluctance to get in the ring with a real threat/opponent.

            I read the whole thing and they're not comparing him to Paris Hilton. You're taking it out of context.

              Margarito gets Ring cover.
              Mayweather gets the New York Times.
              Paris Hilton never hit like this....

                Bitter, did you even read the article. They said he rather be like Paris Hilton than Sugar Ray Robinson. And when they mentioned Cotto to him he threw a hissy fit and Ellerbe had to remind the reporter that he couldn't use the Cword.

                  "Mayweather appears to be pursuing mainstream fame and money à la Paris Hilton more strenuously than he’s chasing Sugar Ray Robinson and all-time greatness as a boxer"
