Comments Thread For: Mayweather: My Personality Was Part of a Business Plan

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There have been times when Floyd Mayweather hasn’t merely worn the proverbial figurative “black hat,” but has embraced the role with gusto. He’s also been an antihero to some while being a villain to the rest, with Mayweather fans tuning in hoping to see him win and Mayweather haters tuning in to see him lose.

With that in mind — and with that past demeanor appearing to be rather toned down of late — Mayweather was asked on a Sept. 4 media conference call if he has mellowed.

“Everything was a business plan,” Mayweather said. “My business plan was to be very, very entertaining. Be very wild. Turn it on when it’s time to turn it on, turn it off when it’s time to turn it off. And that’s what I did. I built my fan base. I became a pay-per-view star. I became a household name.

Most people don't care what Floyd does outside the ring. His personality really doesn't affect much of the fans that follow the sport of boxing. the only reason that Floyd gets a lot of hate is because of his ducking ways to avoid worthy opponents.

That's all into it.

I take this as a hint that Mayweather will box from the outside. 1 judge is guaranteed to score in favor of alvarez, the other for mayweather, the third is shady. If the fight is somewhat close I predict a draw. Otherwise, Mayweather by SD.

The difference between Mayweather and Broner trash talking is that Floyd gets into character to sell tickets and to get in his opponents head, but after the fight he congratulates his opponent, tells him he's a great fighter and all that stuff. Broner sounds real ignorant every time he opens his mouth, and seems to be just as classless any time of day weather he's selling a fight or not.

Yeah, that's why I would always say that Broner isn't trying to be like Floyd. He's just being himself.
