    He's basically the equivalent of a white suburban kid learning hockey at age 6 and making the NHL All Star team. Both have been pampered and taken care of every step in their careers.

    Floyd is NOT hood, not even close, hood n*ggas would get him out of there quick after hitting him up for all that money he carries. You think he can walk around the hood with 100G's? Hahahahaha not even close.
    Of course floyd isn't hood or from the streets. I wouldn't say he had it the same as a white suburban kid though, because there were some problems when he was young, especially with this dad, but the thing with floyd is he had a huge family and his mother of course that took care of him, he always had that loving support and people to really look out for him.

    I liked Bernard Hopkins comments on floyd he was right on the money:

        this is off topic. but too bad pac walked away from negotations turning down 14 days. which was taken off the table as a result. then he comes back asking for the same 14 days he previously turned down.

        so who is the coward? fact of the matter is that pac doesnt make mayweather money.

        floyd makes 20-40mil a fight while pac avgs 7-8mil and in the upwards of 12 mil when you give someone a 90/10 contract like they did clottey.

        i rather have mayweathers earning potential over pacs. any day of the week.

        pac needs floyd for a big payday. not the other way around

          Took you long enough to pull out the numbers. Another ***** in accountant-mode. LOL.

          But, but, but... Floyd does more PPV and makes more money than PAC!

          Sad part is, everyone knows Floyd's going to be broke as **** 5-10 years from now. We'll see him getting his @ss kicked in UFC just to make that extra buck.

            of course it does, but b.c you have money, it doesnt mean you will steer clear of the negativity. and thats my point.

            you do that b.c thats a personal choice youve made, the money doesnt force you do do so

            so, in this regard, either you change b.c you want to or you dont change. but its a personal choice

              what does it matter to you what happens to him financially?

              i wouldnt wish that on anyone, not even pac. and lets not act like pac isnt blowing money himself on his Entourage and politics. again, hes not making mayweather money when he fights, so you should worry about whether your god goes broke before floyd does. since thats what you care about

              fact of the matter, is that floyd blows more money than your will ever see in your life time.

              rather than hoping he goes broke, i suggest you get out and try to find away to break bread yourself

                money has an affect on people, yes. but in terms of people like mayweather, vick etc. and those from the streets but dont change their ways. its obviously money didnt change them, in that regard

                so what you said, goes out of the window. how you are raised is how you are raised. either you become a slave to it, or you change your life and dont make the mistakes those before you made

                it is an excuse from don kind, but unfortunately. millions of people dont have parents who instill proper morals and values in them when they are kids. so as they grow, either they figured it out themsleves and learn the have to be the captain of their own ship or they dont. and they remain a slave to their upbringing...the negative parts of it
                I understand what you're saying and I appreciate your input, and I agree with most of it in most cases, but there are a number of things wrong with your post and it just doesn't apply here.

                Floyd isn't from the streets. Floyd isn't "******." What floyd did, hit a women, isn't necessarily a street mentality. So all that stuff doesn't apply in this case.

                As for money, I'm saying that money can change you in a negative way. The type of money floyd has. Combine all that with his ego and that in itself creates problems.

                  yeah, b.c benard is such a model citizen himself with all the **** hes said and his antics.

                  all i hear from benard is jealously when it comes to monies earned.

                    Great article and that last paragraph is spot on. I used to bounce and we would always have the rich mafia/big dudes come in nicely dressed, really friendly to everyone and never making problems and always being respectfull and taking$$$ care of everyone properly.

                    Then you had all these "thugs "******s" and "ballers" who would come in a pack all iced out and showing money and popin gray goose and feeding all the girls and these dudes were blowing all their money that they made all week at the club just to impress some hoes while everyone laughed at them. These were always the guys who would start the trouble but they would never finish it, it would always be those guys who are calm mannered and not flashy. Stuff I seen is just shocking and I was smiling ear to ear after seeing these dudes get hood beatdowns weekly.

                    Those who are rich and powerfull never show it, they get respect and show you respect no matter who you are and you can tell by looking at them that you dont want to mess with them.

                    Then you have the "thugz" who all flashy and talking garbage like they Tony Montana and how rich they are popin graygoose and starting all the trouble in the world. These guys are broke jokers who live paycheque to paycheque or they have to sell drugs daily just to survive and live in a beatdown apartment and taking the bus everywhere or a 1991 honda civic. But if you see them in the club you would think they are millionaires. They be called "30k" Millionaire.

                      Oh I get it, Floyd made the choices he made because of others and he's not to blame. I hope his lawyer has a better arguement than Don King.
