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

That's fine and I respect that. What I dont understand is, if he purposely played the bad guy and wanted to be hated, then why cry, bich, and moan about not receiving the praise he feels he deserves? Doesnt the hate and criticism come with playing the heel? And if you Floydies knew he was just playing the character as part of his business plan, why did you guys become enraged and feel the need to defend him as if you share a pillow with him at night?

In reality I feel that Floyd always wanted to be embraced as the champ that he is. He wanted the love and backing that fighters like Pac and Hatton did. He knew it wouldnt happen and that's why he had to act the way he did. I dont fault him for it. I actually commend him for being a great business man. I just dont understand how he purposely acted like an azz then whined when he was actually hated when that's exactly what he set out to achieve.

Aggreed to a degree.

I belive he's telling another lie. As you have said his emotions have shown who he really is. Was avoiding some top contender part of his personality? He chased Delahoya just like Mosley chased him once before, or how Trinidad waited for him before moving up or how anyone who wanted to make money chased Delahoya.

Mayweather needs to thank Delahoya without him he wouldn't be were he's at. He'd be making millions but not many double digit million paydays.

Imo, Floyd is already getting worried about being forgotten by boxing.

having problems with the IRS and getting sent to jail was all part of a business plan.

being racist & beating up his baby mama part of his business plan?

I think its pretty simple to make sense of this. Anytime you have seen him in front of a camera he is in his persona.

Anything that has happened to him outside of the limelight has been his real life struggles.

Clearly not everything he has done in his life has been a part of his on screen persona but the way he acts when being filmed has to have played a part in his continued success. If not what reasons would you give for him having "ducked" so many fighters but still making so much more than any other fighter?

OSCAR DELAHOYA.

When Pac has fought, Floyd has an announcement to make.

Oscar Delahoya is mainstream. Ya dig.

No wonder he is so insecure, no one really knows who he is because he took on some alter-ego, a persona right out of a business plan. It explains a lot about him. He chose money over being genuine.

It's not about liking him personally...more so of not changing your tune after every fight. Floyd won't fight this guy...THEEEEN...insert excuse after.

Example: If Floyd doesn't fight Shane after Shane hopped in the ring & call him out then he's scared! But since he fought him...Shane was old, Floyd KNEW he would gas, Floyd KNEW he would be over trained, Floyd KNEW the lay off would affect Shane...all that being said but no word about Floyds dominance after his lay offs.

Only thing he & his fans here are asking for is to bash whoever before & after instead of jumping ship after the fight.

PAC-BOY is quoted saying the Ghost was going to "beat Floyds @$$"...only to jump ship & pretend he never said it. What kind of ***** is that?
