50 said something profound....

[MOREBASS]

I don't see what's so 'profound' about that statement.



Of course people are going to focus on the negative. Media thrives on negativity, and people eat it up.


This is not a new concept, and its not something that Floyd or 50 Cent aren't already aware of.


Floyd Mayweather Jr never got the type of exposure outside of boxing simply because his style is not crowd pleasing, or even entertaining, at that, to the casual fan.

Well, the only other way to get media attention is to make a complete ass of yourself, and that is what worked for Floyd, even though his 'bad guy' role is so transparent.

And LOL @ Floyd not being arrogant.

Yet you have a picture of mayweather with a massive pile of money?

lol..... its just a sign of success, i've had many dif floyd avis such as:






that had nothing to do with money.... its as serious as you make...... and its really not that serious

[Fenom]

plus i know it gets your panties in a bunch

Mayweather deserves all the criticism he gets for not fighting Cotto and Margarito. If you're gonna claim you beat the best, then do it or STFU. Most people couldn't care less about his public persona. It's his cherry-picking ways the last few years which pisses people off most. And the reason he was never as big as his talent warranted was entirely down to his safety first style not being very fan friendly. Whitaker went through the same thing..

yea they def shouldnt have won that ****!! i was laughing my ass off when 50 went on stage anyways

lol thats crazy

It's been disgut many times before over the years regarding Floyd:

When Floyd was Nice Floyd; a coin dropped. When Floyd was "Money May": a treasure dropped.

Didn't he say on 24/7 something like:
they need a bad guy; I'll be it.

true true... they supposedly hate how he is but deep down the love it

YOu have Joe Calzaghe in your avatar and have the NERVE to say all that crap about Floyd not fighting the best??

When Joe's recent opposition is against dusty old men?

Joe's only had two guys who could challenge his supremacy at Super-Middleweight during his reign. He fought and easily beat them both when they were in their prime and undefeated and many believed they would destroy him. It's not his fault Hopkins and Jones only had the balls to get into the ring with him when they had nothing to lose. He beat them when he could, like Lennox did with past prime Holy and Tyson and amateur Bowe, that's what counts. Mayweather is the one who chooses not to fight Margo and Cotto in their primes and will prolly never fight em. Big difference.

[Motofan]

Did he cry when he didnt win like Kanye? "It should have been mine! Im entitled to this!"

[MissDeeCole]

thats bull*****, he put on that persona to put asses on seats. The majiroty of casual fans dislike him BECAUSE of the act he puts on and because he talks a big game and then dissapoints in the ring with lack luster preformances.

I think he would be more accepted fighting below WW because then we can see a more exciting Floyd. He wont need to be completely defensive. But because he fought bigger guys, he didn't open up. Its all good though, if he fights Pac, im sure we'll see fireworks.

Exactly...........

50 Cent: (speaking on Floyd)

He's like my brother from someone else. I'll tell you the ill part: When he was getting ready to fight De La Hoya, I said something to him that made his entire face change. He was bugging out. I said "Floyd, are you ready?" He was all hyped, pounding his gloves. He was ready. But I was like "I don't know how you do this." And he didn't understand. He started talking about how I perform in front of people all the time. But then I said: "Yeah, but I ain't never been in a room where everybody came to see me lose."

Sure, there are a lot of haters out there, but if you pay to see me, you're paying to see 50 keeping hot. They're supporters of the actual music. You're not there to boo me. When people boo Floyd, a lot of times it's because they don't like what he has to say. They mistake his confidence for arrogance. But how do you not become confident when you're the undisputed pound-for-pound best fighter on the planet? He believes in himself so much, and people really don't like how he focuses on money, but they need to focus on his talent. If they were pointing out how talented he was, he wouldn't have to call himself "Money" Mayweather. It's the same way when people don't acknowledge me for writing about the harsh realities. I sold over 36 million records and I don't have a Grammy. My First album sold 13 million copies and I'm not Best New Artist? My first album is the largest debuting album in hip hop, period. But Evanescence won the Grammy. I felt like walking up on stage and snatching that award. It should've been mine.

i thought that was a great point..... not that Floyd needs his ego stroked but maybe if people focused on the positive things he does instead of always pointing a finger and criticizing he wouldnt have to put up a protective wall i.e. Money Mayweather

great post iBox ......100% accurate!!

Floyd is so misunderstood around here and its crazy.....HATECATION for all the Floyd haters.....Real Talk!......go away!!!
