Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jukes Into The MTV Newsroom
"Money" is pro boxer Floyd Mayweather's nickname for a good reason. Mayweather dropped by the MTV Newsroom to talk to MTV News correspondent Tim Kash about practically everything (fighting, music, Hannah Montana), but mostly about his money. If I were worth over $200 million, I would probably talk about my money, too. He recently walked away with over $10 million for his highly-anticipated comeback fight against lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez.
While he is flashy and very vocal about his success (he has yet to lose a fight as a pro), he also has a good sense of humor about it all. He joked about how he ran out of candy on Halloween last year and ended up giving all the kids $100 bills. (Why didn't I have a multi-time champion living in my neighborhood growing up?)
He also joked about how he and Diddy always get together just to talk about their money. "We both like private jets," Mayweather joked.
Although Mayweather is only five feet, eight inches tall and fights at 147 pounds, he still strikes an imposing figure. He told Tim that it would be hard for anyone to beat him. "There is no blueprint to beat me because I haven't lost yet," he told Kash proudly. He said it simply but powerfully, and it hit me so hard that I immediately wrote it down so I could tweet about it and use it as my Facebook status.
Whether it's in the boxing ring, at a club, on WWE programming or behind the scenes of his music business, Floyd "Money" Mayweather always makes an impact, and he certainly did the same during his visit to MTV News. It's not certain who he will fight next nor what his next business venture will be, but one thing is for sure: It will be all about the money.

I get the feeling that Mayweather is trying to be something that he is not. Mayweather should be himself; regardless of what anyone says.Comment

Now, he doesn't need to be as fake as Oscar. But he is clearly still struggling to find his niche.
