    FLOYD needs to change Characters like George Foreman did

    I suggest No more Money Mayweather. He should think long-term career for now on.

    That "Bad Guy" act will only go so far now; especially against someone like Pac or Mosley. Great for Promotion but you are the tool in the end. They will love to hate you now but after you’re done, they will just hate you. At least most of the time it seems that way. Maybe history and have he is done he will be treated kinder if with the "Money Maywether" character on. Not so sure though. It depends on where our society is on the toughness meter.

    Good guys get away with a lot more as well and people tend to cover up for your misdeeds. Bad Guys: they hunt you down and if nothing is there, they'll make something up. However, nobody likes a faker unless you are a great actor. Just don't get caught acting.

    That's my suggestion.


    Or just be real. If this is the real Floyd, so be it. Even though I think there are a lot of fakers out there.


    True Story:

    I was a kid, maybe about 8 or 9. There was a show put on at my playground with Wrestlers {Fake kind}. Back then there was the "Good Guy" and "Bad Guy." The way the show was run, they got you to root against the Bad Guy. Of course, me being who I was, liked the Bad Guy actually, but I think it was because he looked cooler. Anyway, after the show we were allowed to meet the "Stars" of the show. Almost everybody was cool, especially the "Bad Guy" who fought the "Good Guy" {Champion}. He signed autographs, hung out with the kids, etc. However, the "Good Guy" {Champ} was a complete *******. He spent most of his time in the Main building where he had a room to change and hang out. He was asked to come out and he wouldn't. When he finally did, he blew everybody off.
    Since it was a "blue-collar" neighborhood, kids told him to go **** off and some other not so good things (to keep it clean).

    That was one lesson in my life that cemented my thoughts on how the World is full of misconceptions and bull****.

    But hey, I guess he was keeping it real even though he was a real ******* after the show was over.

    not sure its a character. he may just be that full of himself and full of sh@t. and George went away for like a decade, became a preacher etc. I cant see Floyd becoming a humble, godfearing guy. someone is going to have to kick his ass before he'll even consider it ala Foreman.

        Ali is my idol!! He took a hell alot more risks then I do, I'm going to go beat up little marquez now. Did you hear me in my press conference how I made front of that midget? I'm a big great man, and marquez is a tiny great man. Now who do you think will win?

        I'm going to beat marquez and pacman up then I'm going to retire. Cotto, Mosley, Clottey any of those 147 pounders can kiss my ass. I love having a 0 next to my name.

            no way man. floyd will lose atleast 300k ppv buys per fight if he turns into a good guy. him playing the role of the bad guy is the reason dlh-mayweather is highest selling ppv of all-time.

                Floyd would have to hire Jeff Mayweather as his trainer in order for him to do this.

                  Ali's trash talk didn't seem scripted, and he fought and beat peopel he was supposed to lose to.
