Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Interview on Fighting Shane Mosley

[SceneSpectator!]

Floyd is not fighting for Shane's WBA title? Poor Shane, surely a deduction from his purse that might explain why he's just receiving just that 4M vis a vis Floyd's 40M.. His title more or less worth at least 5M in the negotiation's as bargaining chips should be.. IMHO.

Probably since Floyd cannot seperate trash talking with respect to those who EARNED it (example- SRR, Ali comments...the list goes on) Yes, its true most champions of any sport have some sort of ego, but a true champ knows when to show it.

If more boxers acted like the diva Floyd is, boxing would have a lot less fans.

I agree diva like egos dont belong in boxing....i mean even the 24/7 i beleive is a big drag because its all Floyd talking trash and disrespecting Shane Mosley, then talking about how people disrespect him all the time and its because they are "jealous".

Also going into personal **** is a real chic move which is all Floyd does

it is honestly hilarious how piss poor floyds english is. im no scholar and i am a huge fan but **** theres always double negatives and words like remedy when the word solution would suffice much better. as usual floyd ud may1

Well get used to it man. Seems there are more fanboys of fighters than actual boxing fans on this site. Sad really.

Or some guys tend to be "professional fluffers".

[switchsouthpaw]

Well, I don't know if true but looks like Floyd's dad is an ex convicted illegal drug peddler (not user though). Sorry to mention here but some people say that late Valero was a heavy drug user and his record is 27-0 with 27 ko/tko.
So is it just right to speculate that illegal drugs can make a fighter 40-0?

Lol well played sir...well played.

[b4real]

As a Floyd fan and a fan of boxing im tired of the fluff pieces.... Enough is enough the fight is as big, as it will ever be.... Some good points made but lets get the show on the road already..... So tired of Ellerbe , he's really cool in person (great sports handicapper , told me to bet the house on Manny for the Cotto fight)....

boxing was gettin swallowed by the UFC before Floyd Mayweather came back and saved it. Show some respect!!

Floyd is actually failing to show respect to other professionals in the sport of boxing. The negativity he spews is a big turn-off and old.
To be honest, boxing was starting to get this feel of growing to the masses at the end of 09. Everyone was talking about it.
Then Sr and company allegations, drug testing demands the momentum I felt for boxing was gone. Not sure if anyone else noticed that or am I talking out my a$$.

[Tweezy316]

Wow your telling me that Floyd "saved" boxing by coming back and beating a lightweight Marquez? Yea hes a real peoples hero. Boxing was not getting swallowed by UFC, and its still at the same point it was when Floyd "retired". The only difference is that during his retirement, instead of have PAC and MAy keeping the sport up, its was PAC doing it all by himself

yeah is that why pac's biggest ppv numbers are only half of mayweather's lol

Aren't you forgetting who Floyd's dance partner was? He was the real star....without him, Floyd would never have achieved those numbers on his own, or else he would have been able to prove it with Baldomir...in other words all roads lead back to Oscar.

It wouldn't of been a problem had Pac just taken the damn test. Mosley is proving that it's no problem. And don't even start with the Mosley was on steroids before. Because Mosley never tested positive. So who knows who else isn't testing positive. If Pacquiao can request $10 mil for every pound floyd is overweight. And then Pac fans say "well it's so floyd wont come into the fight overweight." Well then Floyd can ask for random drug test to make sure they both are using their natural abilities.
