    Actually, just for the record, Floyd stopped talking to Gregory for a totally different reason not even related to anything on his website. Gregory only wrote that article AFTER he couldn't get Floyd anymore. If you search the fighthype archives on their message board, I believe there's a thread title Monkey Business that talks a little about that.

          Like I said before, Fight hype is this era boxing talk.

              If I recall well ********** started a bit before Tito and B-hop I was pretty young then and I guess I could be called a fan boy of Tito's I remember several arguments with G. Leon who had B-hop as a favorite to win...but yes Floyd uses who ever he can then moves on they helped catapult his career and TBH ********** is really butt hurt lol. I like The Breadman's mail bag

                Um looks like you guys are afraid to say it but I will. BS is a Top Rank leaning website. As if you couldn't tell by some of the articles on this site and the quickness of the responses all of the way from the Philipines.
                They were key in promoting Manny Pac hype over the past few years.

                  because boxingscene was taking sides over the years and kissing up to Pacquiao and Bob Arum and BASHING Mayweather because it was the POPULAR THING TO DO and it made the Pacquiao fans "HAPPY"

                  Mayweather mention this before about "WEBSITES AND WRITERS WHO ARE IN THE POCKET OF BOB ARUM" not saying Boxing Scene is but...

                  FightHype get exclusives because FightHype wasn't BASHING MAYWEATHER like everybody else was doing over the last 2-3 years, it almost seems like Mayweather was BLACKBALLED within the boxing Media during that time and only FightHype was the only ones that would allow him to tell his side of the story, when Pacquiao did not want to take the TEST, instead of questioning why Pacquiao don't want to take a simply blood test, all these Websites just BASHED MAYWEATHER and said he was DUCKING and SCARED

                  I honestly think some in the media thought by bashing him it would hurt his IMAGE and his PPV Buys, but instead over the years it has only made him EVEN MORE MONEY and a BIGGER STAR because all of the NEGATIVE STORIES kept his name in the NEWS and kept him RELEVANT...so Mayweather is getting the last laugh and FightHype is getting the EXCLUSIVES

                      That's not the case, because there was a twitter back and forth a few months ago where writers like Kevin Iole, Dan Rafael, Chris Mannix and a few others were complaining about their inability to get Mayweather on the phone, to return calls, or to do interviews without having to go through five people.
