Comments Thread For: Andre Ward's Manager Drops Bombs on Floyd Mayweather

[Weebler I]

Floyd does that for Tax purposes and because MGM pays high HOST fees to him and GBP.

Imagine if Floyd said he wanted to fight in Madison Square Garden?? You think MSG wouldn't sell out easily for a FMJ fight?? And it was be at premuim price, not $20-$300 for SOG ticket pricing, tickets would be $300-$1000 and up just like at MGM Grand.

Mayweather can't complain about someone not fighting outside their backyard when they do it more than he does. It's hypocrisy.

floyd has always fought in the place that paid the most money. ward can't really claim the same (froch in notts would've surely paid more than oakland).

also, as i recall it, it was hatton, not floyd, who was responsible for the fight not happening at 140 lbs.

Hatton was the man at 140 and willing to fight anyone there. Mayweather refused to leave the US for the fight. He would only fight in the US even when Hatton was the bigger draw (pre-Gatti).

The only reason the fight was eventually made was because Hatton was keen to fight across the Atlantic, otherwise it would have been another duck on Floyd's part.

Mayweather has no room to criticise on the grounds of not leaving Oakland, (a) because it isn't actually true
(b) because he is even worse himself

"I know this is true because I was managing him when he couldn't sell out his hometown of Grand Rapids or the San Francisco Auditorium, which only seats 6,000 people."

I don't see how this is "ether" on floyd. This seems like a slight towards himself. If you were managing him and he couldn't sell, that's probably why Ward ain't sellin outside of Oaktown. C'mon J. Prince.

Mayweather Is A Weasel; Makes A Lot Of Money, But Has No Ballz

Simple.... Floyd chose to make Cotto & Mosley wait more than 10 years to fight because they were in their prime and too dangerous. Floyd has made Pacquiao wait more than 4 years, and with two consecutive losses, Floyd STILL won't fight Pacquiao for being too dangerous. Floyd watched the Maidana vs Ortiz fight, Victor Ortiz got destroyed in 8 rounds, and Floyd opted to fight Ortiz anyway, because Maidana was too dangerous. What Champion selects the "Loser" of two contenders fighting??? Anytime Pacquiao had a fight coming up, that had nothing to do with Floyd, he showed up, to talk trash, gets some PR, pull attention on himself. If he had a problem with all the love and attention Pacquaio was getting, because he continued to fight everyone they put in front of him, then all Floyd had to do was getin the ring with Manny, knock him out, then they quit talking about Manny. Floyd wanted no part of that risk taking. And that's just who Floyd is; he's "Yellow". Floyd is ALL about spending God's money in strip clubs, and on mansions and cars, and bling, and jets. He's manufactured how to protect his "0". He'd never man up and go fight Ward. He will never fight Canelo for the same reason, he will never fight Sergio Martinez, he will never fight Pacquiao. Everyone knows who Floyd Junior is: An insecure coward.

In response to an earlier story on BoxingScene.com, where WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. took several shots at WBC/WBA super middleweight king Andre Ward - James Prince, the current manager of Ward and ex-manager of Mayweather, had plenty to say in response to Floyd Jr.'s unexpected verbal jabs.

"First of all I don't know what demonic spirit jumped into Mayweather causing him to try to assassinate my fighter's character because he is a fighter and a man of God - as if it's a sin to worship God and fight. It goes to show his ignorance in the word of God because there are prophets throughout the Bible that were fighters, warriors, hit men - and none of them were punks. So for Mayweather to attack a man's spirituality because he has been friends with Robert Guerrero since they were kids and he'd riding with him is just an excuse to voice his haterism that's really in his heart for me and Dre," Prince said in a statement to BoxingScene.com.

Whow he went in on Floyd! It was all true.

After the DLH fight he was a draw not before that. THen he didnt even wanna give DLH a rematch he "retired." Floyd is trying to friend Broner because in a year or two Broner will be more than ready to fight and beat Floyd.

so then why is Floyd's dissing Ward for not selling out? Why not dis j prince?

...

oh yeah, cause prince and his goons beat the living ***** outta Floyd's boys, they had to scrub blood off the floor for weeks

[mexicanfan510]

Yeah right bra if floyd was a super middleweight he wouldn't even fight ward. He would clearly duck his a$$ and fight guys like groves and bika.

LOl, excuses why not to fight Abraham, Kessler or Froch
"They're all the way in Europe"

[Illdil]

Damn!! We know how to make millions and keep it :lmao1:

[Prince_Pugilist]

I personally did not buy that fight. One of the few I've been forced to avoid. You're on the right track no question.

Thanks. And only reason I even saw the fight is because we got it free here in the UK. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

[Danny Gunz]

Couldn't draw flies into a dumpster until he beat DLH?

Completely false, if Floyd couldn't draw, why isn't Ward headlining PPV's the way Floyd did against Judah, Gatti and Baldomir, Floyd managed to do over 300K+ against all of them.

It is seriously scary how obsessed you are with Floyd

[mconstantine]

Just read this...wow....he went IN!
