    No disrespect to Benard but he didnt make much money in boxing.Floyd made tonnes more.Benard's purses have never been great but if he went on to make great investments then he's cool.

    The other bit is Benard is froma different era,publicity for Mayweather is great because that's how he makes his money.His brash style isnt just ignorance as Benard says,it has made Floyd money.Right now Floyd's the best paid boxer in the world so his system works.He has been involved in a few projects out there so he's doing well.

    There is some jealousy from Benard too and I know people will be eager to say Benard has a stake in GBP.How big is that stake because Mosley isnt much.I remember when GBP was started and Barrerra was involved,all the GBP guys went for a fight as spectators and a commentator did mention Floyd was supposed to be in but then some politics went on and so the issue goes back to those days

      Wisdom from an experienced 45 yr. old boxing legend. Floyd should listen. BHop has wisdom inside and outside the ring.

            Benard,Mosley,Toney and Tyson hate Mayweather.

            To Mike Tyson ,Mayweather does no good and that's because Mayweather called himself the best fighter ever and highlighted Ali's weaknesses .

            Benard,Mosley & Toney are just jealousy of Mayweather's success.Toney calls himself a natural and the best fighter.He cant wait to see Mayweather losing and he hates comparisons about his defence.Toney's finances have never been better than Floyd's either and he will do anything for a payday including MMA.

            Mosley and Hopkins it's easy to see where the beef comes from.Mosley has mentioned the money thing with statements like 'Every fight of Mayweather I make a couple of millions'.Of course that's not true,he dont make no millions.

            Hopkins mentions the watches and the houses.While it is good for Mayweather to look after himself this is downright jealous.Everyone knows Hokpins had agreed to face Calzaghe for $3m long back.By then Floyd was making more already and yet he was a lightweight.

            Interesting how people talk so much about Floyd being broke,I hope they include Holyfield,Tyson,Hearns just to mention a few

              I truly look at Hopkins as a role model as a man in his 20s thats done time and has recouped his life,i have all the respect in the world for him,as for Floyd i respect his ability,i do not respect the ****** way he acts and the way he treats the sport of boxing,he seems to think he is a blessing to the sport when in reality his behavior just takes us another step backwards.

                    I'm not looking pathetic and on this forum I dont need to agree with you lot.My analysis has been proved time and again,check even how I predicted Dirrell's fight.I was called an idiot and got red k for my logical thinking.What you guys say is irrelevant because time after time you are always wrong and you come back pretending to be knowledgeable when you are always wrong.Your green k is a vote of ignorance and so being called ignorant by people like you is a compliment because you are always wrong,so thanks.

                    As for Benard,he's 45.Fighters from his era hanged their gloves up.Isnt that a fact?When Hopkins was at his peak and the way Hopkins was schooled is different to what it is now.Isnt that a fact?

                    So because no one knows Jay-Z's house people shouldnt show their houses?Richard Branson showed his house on cribs,is he ******?Who has more money Branson or Hopkins?Is Hopkins smarter than Branson or vice versa?The fact is these two guys are in different environments and each man does what he does for his own benefit the best way they know.I have always liked Hopkins and he's a very thoughtful man and quite intelligent no doubt but he has his weaknesses.He's talking about family yet he had problems with demetrius and chucked him out of his flat when demetrius's girfriend was pregnant.How hypocritical?

                    People need to realise there are various business strategies.To some lack of information creates a mysterious appeal and value in a brand but if people like Floyd werent brash no one would even know about them.Floyd would never have been on dancing with the stars.IN business you need to look succesful to make more money.I wonder what Hopkins thinks about 50cent who happened to show his house and helicopters or Rod Stewart and other wealthy individuals

                      I like Bhops views, but you are entirely correct in your statements.
