      The sad part is that he may have been trying to turn this around by settling down with Ms. Jackson now she has messed him over. Also I doubt he can find a decent woman if strippers is were he goes to get them. I have dealt with people who have OCD and he definitely has it. He has mentioned before that if somebody beats his high score in a video game he cannot go to sleep until he beats there score. He has also mentioned that he cannot go to sleep unless he feels the entire house is clean and has called his maid at 1 am in the morning to return to clean the house again. It can be very difficult to get under control especially with all the enablers he has around him that will encourage his obsessive behavior. He likely gets rid of anybody that says otherwise. It is also very difficult to work for someone who has OCD. When Mayweather complains about Ellerbe does he mention the garbage undercard he put together for Mayham. No he mentions his family not sitting together and they fact that his light middleweight title was on the line. Another example, Errol Spence gave Mayweather a black eye while he was sparring. After the session Mayweather told him to get out of the gym and to never come back. He later calmed down and told him he could stop packing his belongings. It was a situation that he could not control so he could not handle it so he had to go to something that he could control, his property. He was able to calm down because he saw that he could control Spence that way which is why he was then able to allow his to say. He dates strippers because he feels that he can control them. Alot of people have OCD and are undiagnosed.

            Compulsive neurotic behavoir, regardless of the specifics, is indeed very hard to control. As a matter of fact one definition of neurotic behavoir is when your compulsion controls you. Floyd definitely exhibits signs of neurotic behavoir. As you point out it is about control of the environment.

            Floyd really hates Bob Arum because Arum attmempted to control him vis a vis his money. Floyd has a serious problem because his symptomology will not let him capitulate to Arum in any respect. Bob knows this and will not step aside to let this fight happen. You can see how fragile floyd is when he gets into conflicts with his father who wants to control a part of Floyd. Roger Mayweather has no conflict because he never tries to control Floyd.

              So apparently he has some sort of a stripper fetish, but instead of having them do lap dances, he converts them into TMT groupies who give out massages on airplanes.

              Weird, weird, weird. He could be getting super-models with that kind of money, but he chooses strippers.

                This is a serious question: Would Floyd Mayweather give Warren Buffett a ******* if good ol Warren would give him just a billion of his wealth?

                  What's the worst thing for an OCD? ANXIETY! Unless he is mentally ill there is no point in making excuses for Floyd's OCD. It's a personality deal with it. Unless he is cowardly mentally ill.

                    I'm not making excuses. Its a condition that is hard to get under control. Most that I have met never truly got it under control. His OCD is also the reason for his skills inside the ring especially his defensive skills. That is why being a perfectionist is so important. He actually gets embarrassed when he gets hit with flush shots. If he did not have OCD he would not still be training as hard or hard then he was before he became champion. He does not have to ability to get bored with something he loves. Boxing is his obsession as well. That is why even when he is trying to relax he has to stop what he is doing and go run 4 miles. Because he obsessives over someone becoming better than him. GSP had the same problem is was his reason for retiring. He was not allowed to take breaks like Mayweather and could not function because he obsessed over the opponents that were constantly placed in front of him. A lot of successful people have OCD. Also alot of serial killers.

                      Madoofs ROI was like 5 points above market. Maximum 15% return a year, although more like 10%. 5 billion return off 15 million is something most people would know is a scam, that is like a 25000% return.
