Comments Thread For: Ellerbe Says Negativity on Floyd Mayweather Must Stop

[Kuyukut]

bu bu but i thought negativity pays the bills doe.

[bimhead]

Floyd won't be recognized for his accomplishments until he's out of the sport. No one expects a guy (or a team) to be on top this long. Some of us can remember "Jordan Rules," and Jordan's image right before he retired then unretired (accusations of ********). People love to see a guy fall off, just like Ali, Tyson, Magic, Jordan, and Tiger. I just want to see him leave on his time, and not go out like Joe Louis. There's a lot of haters out there, but they are ignorant. For those who have real love for boxing, read the following:

Floyd Mayweather has openly said he plays the villain role, of course he will get criticised lol...

[gamefrk]

I think its because Floyd only wants to listen to and do what Floyd wants.

What Floyd desperately needs is a Public Relations rep who coach and tell him what to say and NOT to say to the media or when out in public.

That's exactly what I was going for...but with 2 fights to go after Maidana...I think it's too late for the same.

Haha
Cant stand Ellerbe, however did anyone read the article published about Ellerbe few days back. How he met Floyd through Floyd's uncles years back and he invested a lot of time and money in Floyd. Left his job to go and be Floyd's trainer in Vegas on a lesser wage. I know he gets a lot of stick but have to give the guy a little credit. He's been with him right from the start when Floyd had no money.

His goatee is f'ucking terrible though.

believe me. that was a fairy tale version of his life. theirs much much more involvement there. they don't mention any of the underhanded stuff.
ellerbe had and has his fingers in many pies.

[lopez36]

he should tell floyd to shut up,,,floyd likes playing the villain,has no class,beats women,uses vulgar language in front of his kids,tells his dad off in front of the cameras for everyone to see and he expects people to like him?

I guess you could argue wether or not it's hypercritical given the context of the wording their or the and fighters deserve the Lions share. That was a disgraceful comment he made though when he told him to his face that he was making more for the fight than he was. Not something at all that should be gloated about.
Yeah he may be just doing his job and he may not be the only manager to do it but what he said was quite sycophantic - a paid sycophant.

had to look up sycophant-learned a new word....thank-you!{sycophant=boot licker/toady}heard the word before...just too lazy to look it up! lolol

[Infamous]

This coming from a guy who wants to act hard and get in another fighters face... F.uck ellerbe
