Floyd Mayweather's son: 'My father is a coward'

[////]

What he's done for boxing? You mean bringing in the type of fans that don't see boxing outside of Mayweather?

He has done nothing for boxing. Under the "Mayweather era" you saw boxing popularity hit all time lows in the US and migrate to Europe & Asia where the champions are less abhorrent. He has made a lot of money for himself as P4P king if that's what you mean.

Like Mike Tyson (who was sent straight to prison for a much blurrier case involving a woman and lost about everything) talked about, the biggest fights in boxing have Floyd in them, and Floyd is boring as hell, so to casual fans, boxing is boring as hell. They hear that's the best guy in the world... Pay the $70... Never watch again.

In "business"? He had a failed soda company. He can't even read. He went bankrupt and owed the IRS money 3/4 through his career. Everything else was handled by guys like Ellerbe (RIP), Schaeffer and Haymon.

His major accomplishment is being the top ranked fighter in a time when PPV prices and profit margins have become ******edly high. Nobody can take that away from him.

I agree 100%. I can't wait until Mayweather is gone and I'm saying this as a person that roots for anyone that fights Pacquiao (Sorry, I'm just not a Pacquaio fan), so this isn't a Mayweather/Pacquiao discussion. I'm not the only one that thinks the Mayweather clan is toxic to boxing and the fact that he declares himself as, "G.O.A.T" and people buy into that? I'm really looking forward to his retirement.

What he's done for boxing? You mean bringing in the type of fans that don't see boxing outside of Mayweather? Do you know how many times I've found myself in conversations with Mayweather fans only to find out they don't know Whitaker, Lennox, Morales vs Barrera trilogy, Ward vs Gatti trilogy? Mayweather has turned boxing into pop culture (in a very bad way). Actually, I compare him to Taylor Swift; great talent, bad for their respective culture. Mayweather turned boxing in a world star type environment and he's done nothing for boxing except turn into a pop culture brouhaha (you might need to google that word) and now we're going to see nothing but Mayweather clones (Broner) for the next ten years.

YEs, Mayweather has skills, but he's turned the art of pugilism into a freak show joke. I'm 38 and grew up with boxing and I can tell you, just like many other purists will agree, Mayweather has turned boxing into a joke. Mayweather has created a fan base that's a clear joke. Skills or not, Mayweather is the epitome of a joke and the majority of his fans, well, I laugh at them.

Now, to add to the recent article (USA Today is far from a satire site (can't believe people are are suggesting it's fake)) with his son's testimony, I will never take any other Mayweather fan seriously from this point on. Mayweather fans might see him laying on a table with 20 strippers around him as an accomplishment or use the excuse, "he's rich, doe," but let's face it, boxing is done with Mayweather, boxing fans are done with Mayweather. Mayweather fans are nothing but a joke now.

I'll tell you what. You guys can have a discussion with me when you both learn the difference between "for" and "in" because they're different words and you're reading the wrong one. Also disagree with you completely but I'm not worried about it. To each their own.

All of Floyd kids are extremely short, especially the oldest daughter. She's like 14/15 and looks 10. Her little sister that is like 11 is almost the same height as her.



As for this article, little messed up letting her son do this but I dont disagree with it. Floyd tries to put on there this false image of his relationship with his kids and their mothers, and this kid is basically calling it bull****.

I notice this as well, maybe they are late bloomers? late bloomer Males stop growing at 21 or something so he still has time. Koraun is only 15 but he is very tiny, he is like 5 foot 2.

Floyds kids are all really short maybe they eat a lot of candy and drink soda and go to bed late

[7_rocket]

You guys are commenting on their height? What is wrong with you people? Ya'll sound some little girl groupies

[BOXEO _]

Yes we know, Koraun. Just know that you don't have to be a coward like your dad when you grow up though. Keep your head up kid, you the real champ.

^^^true dat...

yeah, its really sad that Floyd neglects his kids nutrition and just thinks giving them money is enough to be a good dad.

I'm one of May's biggest fans for what he does in the sport of boxing and in business too. But that's got nothing to do with stuff like this.

See I read things like this...then I wonder

Floyd is a de****able human being. You have to wonder if the same is true for people who root for him. Its so obvious what a low life he is and yet they continue to support him.

Where do you draw the line GoldenGloves?

This whole "I only support him when he's in the ring" is just another way of saying you don't really have an issue with the crimes he commits outside it.

I still see people supporting Valero and Stevenson and it's the same principle, it reflects on them as people. Truth be told, these people really couldn't care less about the victims of their crimes preferring to turn a blind eye putting their sporting hero-worship ahead of decent human behaviour.

Doubt they'd hold the same position on it if the same man was assaulting their mother, sister or daughter. Then it would matter.

See this is why most people hate this dude. It ain't because "he black, rich, and fly doe". It's because the dude is a piece of **** human being.

But of course we're bound to have mother**kers who pop on and say **** like, "I don't care what he do outside the ring doe...I just want to see him in that ring doe". The guy didn't just f**k up once and regretfully put his hands on a chick. He has been doing this **** for years.

Floyd is a straight scumbag.

All of that, and he'll continue because he has a father and uncle who did it so he sees it as normal behavior. "control yo' bitch", isn't that what he yelled at a couple in Vegas.

Isn't it comical Mayweathers son is bored by boxing, anyone wonder why?

He should send him to watch Matthysse or Golovkin, he would probably fall in love with the sport.
