      Floyd has been using the Ellerbe or Haymon line after fights for god knows how long.

      He needs to fight one of the top WW's next or he should fuck off and retire. I'm a big fan of his boxing ability but it's all bull**** and no action from him for too long now.

        Why does Ellerbe or Haymon have a say
        they are just there to crunch numbers and give massages

        so if he is his own boss why doesnt he just come out and say this is who I want make it happen.
        Thats what oscar did and he made it happen
        Listen, I will make it real clear for you.

        Floyd Mayweather has created a brand for himself.
        Which is his name.

        Floyd Mayweather is a multimillionaire. He does not or should not handle every aspect of his career by himself. Just like other Millionaires He delegate responsibility for small matters to other people and for big decisions he personally gets involved and makes decisions based on the information his employee's give him.

        Like every smart businessman, Floyd understands he needs HELP.
        Floyd Mayweather probably has a Lawyer to HELP him handle Legal Matters
        Floyd Mayweather probably has an Accountant to HELP him handle Business Matters
        Floyd Mayweather probably has Advisors to HELP handle his career
        Floyd Mayweather probably has a PR person to HELP him handle Media matters.(tv shows, etc..)


        So when Floyd Mayweather says he needs to talk to his people.
        He is telling you, that he needs to get as much information as possible
        From the people he has hired to get him the best information before he makes a decision.


        How do you think other successful businesses make decisions...?

        They do their homework, ask questions, get the answers, request presentations, review the pros and cons and then make a decision.

        Looking at how successful Floyd Mayweather career has been so far.
        I believe he does the same thing.


        So when he says I need to talk to my people, he is telling you that he is going to do as much research as he can before he makes his next decision.


        What is the problem in doing that?

        That is what successful people do!

        Besides, Floyd can’t say who he is targeting for his next fight because than he would lose bargaining power. You should understand that by now.


        If you were throwing a party and I told everybody I plan on coming to your party, and then people started expecting me to come to your party.
        What does that now mean for you..?

        That now means I just gave your party preference over every other party in town, and when I come to your party, based on the fact you know I told everybody I was coming to your party, you can charge me $20 dollars to get in instead of the probably $10 you would have charge me if you never knew I was coming to your party.

        NEVER SHOW YOUR HAND.


        Do you understand?

        People on top don’t call out other fighters.
        That would be ******!

              if he gives away his plans, like who he wants to fight ect, it reduces his negotiation power, so he plays little political games.

              For the record...Pac is doing it too, concerning Mayweather.

                Im not saying he calls them out cause you are right people on top dont call out however if he is the true boss he says he is then he says I want to fight this guy make it happen
                that is where his advisers lawyers and others involved financially get involved. Oscar wanted Floyd so he paid SSM step aside money and had Shaefer make the deal. He wanted Pac and he had RS make the deal.
                The problem with Floyd is that he is only his own boss when its convienient to him.
                He can learn alot from oscar.
                Oscar is truly his own boss
                he fights who he wants when he wants
                Floyd claims he is the boss and then goes and hides under Ellerbes mini skirt when he gets called out by the big dawgs.

                So in reality Floyd is not his own boss if he has to go to his advisers to ask permission to fight the SSM cotto and pacs of the world.

                He is all talk.

                Everyone can see it but you Horus

                yes he is smart to get financial advisers and lawyers to help him with the money aspect but its up to him to call the shots on who he wants to fight and he says its up to his team .

                He should just come out and say we will see who I want to fight
                not its up to my team

                  Than why is it when Cotto or Manny do these things the *****'s say they need to be out on their own? They also have a team and are doing for themselves what is successful. seems a bit of a double standard, no?
