Floyd Mayweather: 'I had a father who was a hustler and a mother who was on drugs'

Then why did you make that a focal point about the argument that Marraige is extremely difficult? Leonard makes a point about how marraige in this world climate is a difficult obstacle, and you come with



youre reply to me had almost nothing to do with what i was trying to imply with my initial post. I said marraige is hard, then you say "thanks for proving my point". BUT THAT WAS MY POINT.

Then you tell me to grow and learn about women, after i tell you have 5 sisters, not to mention i have been engaged before. Im not an expert on women, but i know enough to know marraige is very difficult.

Ask Manny Pacquiao how hard marraige is. You gonna tell him "man, you dont know how to please youre woman!"

Leonard's quote was that men don't have sex with their wives. Not that marriage is hard. You agreed with that statement saying its real talk, you didn't say marriage was difficult, you added nothing just agreed with him.

So you are fine with one woman the rest of your life and will get married even though most people get divorced in today's society and the ones that don't tend to be miserable?

I know enough married people to know that **** is crazy. And I know guys that feel like they are being forced to get married when they really don't want to. Same guys that tell me: Don't get ****ing married. Although some will try to trick you into it like drug addicts that want to lure you into their painful world.

I just like the option to say...eh...not working out anymore...you or I grew different over the years so why drag this along. All while keeping my money and my house and my dog...peace.

More of a George Clooney path and at the most, Tim Robbins/Susan Sarandon type thinking. Why get married?

I've also notice romance tends to die when you get married.

That's what I'm saying.

So your basing your opinion on what you've seen, I can understand that, however, I've seen the opposite. You sound rather self absorbed and I can tell from your comments that you probably aren't the type that can hold a successful marriage, it isn't for everyone but your comments are very generalized yet you treat them as absolutes, that's why I called you out.

I had a professor in College who was probably the smartest man I have ever met in my life.

He took our classes on a couple educational excursions where his wife would come along and take part in the discussions.

Well come to find out when I talked with him later in the semester that they weren't married, never had been and never planned to. He simply said that the whole process of marriage just complicates and trivializes something that is meant to be beautiful in it's simplicity (love). He said as long as you truly love someone and they love you back then the titles that you or anyone else gives it become irrelevant.

I don't think I have seen a happier "marriage" since.

I completely agree with what he said when you are talking about men not having sex with their wives. How many marraiges do you know of, that after 20 years, they are still ****in like they did when they met? After the sex, the attraction, the lust, after all that wears thin, all you have is each other, and making that last isnt easy and its very difficult. Keeping things going sexually is VERY difficult, and i agree, i know two of my friends who are married, one of them has been married only 4 years, and all he talks about is how tempted he is to **** someone else. That **** was proof enough.

So your basing your opinion on what you've seen, I can understand that, however, I've seen the opposite.

I am extremely self absorbed. Look at my post history. Watch as i knock off other posters and call them out on their ignorance while i push my own superior opinion onto others. I leave no room, no leeway for anyone elses opinion that is not my own.

I run into an argument im not winning? I use a strawman.

I run into an argument that isnt going my way? I pull a non-sequitur

When things get too dicey, i simply put them on ignore.

My arroagnce knows no bounds, and because of it, instead of investing in a relationship. I post on boxing scene and flex my pugilistic knowledge.

OK...I may be a little off. On the rare occasion they have "sex" but they dont' F*** anymore.

Ah, yes. Same reason why I know I wouldn't want to be shot. I've seen that up front and the person didn't look so hot.

I don't want to get married. Long relationship like Tim Robbins/Susan Sarandon...I could see it.

I'm actually not at all self-absorbed...maybe a little and I should probably be a little more. I helped raised my two younger sisters and take care of my nieces because my brother and sister trust me the most with them and they have become attached to me. I'm cool with family. But the thing is...nobody is demanding it of me like marriage would feel like. There is no Government or Church contract that tells me: this is what you have to do. I'm free to choose and feel happy because of it.

And you are right, it's not for everyone...it's only for the minority because that is all it ends up working out for.

Not absolutes. Everyone has their choice.

Personal experience tells me the majority don't like it. I do know one happy couple, my sister and her husband...but who knows 10 years from now.


In the end, I have to do what makes me feel happy because it makes others feel happy when I'm happy. I'm nicer when I'm happy. I'm more giving and easy to be around. I like to be as free as possible in a World that sometimes tries to prevent it by telling you what you should be and what you should do.

I know of a few. How many single 60 year olds do you know get their rocks off on a regular basis?!? Your right though, after many years there is less sex (not romance) in relationships but that usually has to do more with laziness and/or age. Most people don't naturally have a high libido after mid life.

Your friends sound like they probably shouldn't have gotten married then. Like I said, its not for everyone.

Now that's real talk! Not trying to push my opinions on you guys just trying to add to your experiences.

he's a crack baby... no offense to crack-babies

Sup with the negativity Pull? If anything the fact that he is a "crack baby" should be admired. Not many crack babys go on to be anything in their lives....what he has accomplished is pretty amazing.

If this was someone else you guys would call it a great story. A kid from the ****** making it. But since its floyd its funny.pathetic
