Either that or he's just a fool who talks bull**** 24/7,no pun intended.

that's his role and what he does best. he obviously can't brag about his level of opposition so let him talk **** and talk his way into big fights.

But that's what Floyd wants. Bad publicity is good publicity in his case. But eventually, he's got to show and prove and fighting Marquez when there's Mosley, Pacquiao, and Cotto there instead (and all were available prior to him making the fight with Marquez), it just keeps the bad taste in your mouth about Floyd.

Like Ive said, I was once a big supporter of Floyd's and apart of me still is as far as what he does in the ring...but truthfully, the dude's lost several opportunities at really big fights that could define his career after he reached the top. Imagine Cotto beats Pacquiao...now he's left with Cotto and Mosley to fight for possibly less money. So would he then up and retire again?

I think Mayweather doesn't help Mayweather with his image.

floyd does all his stunt for him to get hated and make people buy his fights wanting to see him get his ass whooped. so dont complain about the media. thats what he wants

The media doesn't need to pay someone to create stories. Mayweather's court cases, his own created hype in things like reality shows and WWE, and his family showing up in the police blotter are what keep in the news, not to mention his disrespect for other competitors, other figures in the sport, and to the sport itself.

I'm no Mayewather fan myself but I can see his valor and that he is an ATG and a superb fighter.

That being said I think he's kinda ****** and talks crap just to mostly get in his groove,in his mindset.
IMO he knows what he'ssaying is garbage.

its hard to have media kiss your ass when best fighter at your division is screaming your name and you wanna fight a LW.

I think the media doesnt help with Mayweather's image
