I just watched the 24/7 and it shows....

You worried about drinking some Cola?

C'mon Mayweather jr. is one of the most disciplined fighters ever.

he doing the homeless thing for PR.
just like he did the whole flag in front of his gym for pr.
I guess he must've figured that if he acts patriotic
and caring it will boost his ratings and get him more ppv numbers.

I see him being genuine. You are in Sin City do you see Floyd do more bad or good for Vegas?

PR my ass. Floyd is a real patriot, he always fought for his country and for his people and that's honorable.

i remember chad ocho cinco saying his favorite food is mcdonalds. if you work hard and stay in great shape like ocho cinco, floyd etc. you can eat and drink what you want.

Plus Floyd Mayweather jr. has super genetics from his dad.

[AceNguyen]

You guys ever hear of genetics?

I'm not saying he's heartless but there's no question that it's at least partly a marketing tool.

Look at this for example:

HBO's Emmy®-Award-winning all-access reality series "24/7" returns to HBO® with an all new edition as "Mayweather/Marquez 24/7" premieres Saturday, August 29 at 10:15 pm ET/PT. The four-episode series will chronicle the preparations and back stories of both fighters as they train for their September 19 pay-per-view showdown.

First, this tells me that certain members of the press were informed in advance that he would be visiting the center. Second, it's obvious what I pasted above is something they were asked to include in the article from whoever is handling the marketing. Notice this same wording in an article from a Golden Boy press-release on their website?

.......mayweather after training going to help homeless children, which I think is very genorous of him, but thats not why i am posting, its because it shows him drinking coke... the stuff in the red can, with loads of sugar, the fizzy stuff...... I wouldn't of thought that a professional like floyd mayweather would drink coke whilst he was in training camp, not showing real discipline is it?

Floyd makes WW easily without crazy dieting.

Coke isn't as detrimental. Ive seen many great athletes still drink their cokes. It's not smoking here we are talking about.

i watched 24/7 and saw mayweather trying to force a smile while giving out foot the the homeless and felt uncomfortabe trying to be 'real'. then i saw him go back to his house and start to be an idiot again, thats the real mayweather.

I don't agree, but I think it's a pretty funny the way you put it.
