Usually a ****y person would say fuc* it I'm the best. Isn't he also supposed to be an advocate against domestic violence?

[IronDanHamza]

He's obviously a big fan of his work.

[danceswithfire]

he's beggin for a moneyfight the media would'nt crucify him for..

[bojangles1987]

He believes he has a chance to land a Mayweather fight. He was respectful to Pacquiao until it became clear Pac would never fight him.

Probably cuz he knows boxing, and Floyd is boxing at its best currently.

Maravilla is a true professional of the sport of boxing...

[Hougigo]

He was nice to Pacquiao until it became clear he wouldn't get to fight him... might as well be nice to Mayweather now

I like this theory, but at the same time he gives Miguel Cotto no respect either. You know Cotto is the one with the fight anyone warrior reputation. Floyd is inaccurately perceived as a ducker by many.

People who know the sport see things for what they actually are.

Well, Cotto won't fight him either.
