Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather Not a Good Person, Bad Role Model!

[cuzzlo]

How Mr Roach do you mention kids and [pissed] in the same sentence??? Could you not have toned down your use of language. Then Floyd's called a bad role jodel, laughable, one finger points outward while the others point back to you.

[Mr. Philadel]

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach respects the boxing ability of Floyd Mayweather Jr., but the experienced trainer has nothing good to say about the pound-for-pound king as a person.

On May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Mayweather will go up against Roach's superstar fighter, Manny Pacquiao, in a highly anticipated pay-per-view showdown. The fight will have the WBA/WBO/WBC welterweight titles at stake. Mayweather also holds the WBC/WBA world titles at the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds.

role model?...good person?...WTF is going on with Roach?!?!?

Floyd plays a ROLE that was MODELED so GOOD PERSONS could help him buy luxury cars while tossing insults at him ....Roach is a bug, Pac made that mutha****a

Yes, Mayweather is a bad role model because the last thing you want is for your child to become the highest paid, number one athlete in his or her respective sport.

However, this isn't about becoming successful in a sport where you punch people in the face for a living, it's about the kids.

Roach is right.

Floyd throws millions of dollars around strip clubs and burns $100 bills while giving a measly $15k to a breast cancer charity. He undefeated doe.

[Boskop]

Haha Manny used to drink, gamble, cheat on his wife and make large depts.
Both no angels.

[Dindu_Nuffin]

Didn't Roach say in a recent interview that Manny used to drink, party, gamble, and screw a lot of women while being married? That his wife and kids hated him during that time?
But Floyd is the bad guy?

It's ironic how so many Floyd critics have skeletons in their closet but they accuse Floyd of being the bad person lol. I don't really care for the guys persona outside of the ring either but come on... It reminds me of this scene from Scarface:

********, cheating... Or beating the living ****e out of your child's mother, while you have your friend hold your son hostage in his room - listening to every punch and scream?


I do believe that an athlete doesn't have a responsibility to be a "role model," per se, but when a man should find himself in a position where he has a segment of a country's ear, it's respectable for them to take that opportunity to positively influece as many lives as possible.

Roach is right.
oscar and Sugar Ray were media creations who both were coke heads and cheaters, one a cross dresser the other rumored to be gay, crumbled under pressure to be perfect, Floyd created his own person never claimed to be perfect and at least is himself, Manny cheat gambles and drinks but hey hes nice while doing it??....?...................?

Floyd has been arrested seven times for beating females...

That's why he served time for the last one that happened that made his son call Floyd a coward to the media. It's not like that was some isolated incident - Floyd had been arrested six times prior to that for putting hands on females.

[dnash1911]

Dont believe he ever struck anyone if he did there would be photos just like his ex now claiming he used to beat her no proof mostly money grab where the photos

[Dan Gutierrez]

AMEN. How many times does chicken Floyd have to threaten his very own father. This guy is full of pretensions to smartness. Not a good model to the young people of this world.
