When he turned on for the cameras and went in on Oscar then people took notice and wanted to buy into the PPV. Its no coincidence that people say 24/7 isnt the same without a mayweather on it

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

It's because he hangs out with morons like 50 cent. That is why he
gets that label in the first place.
