Comments Thread For: Wilder Explains How Mayweather Hurts His Entire Stable, Boxing

[Butch.McRae]

Solid take on Floyd. Even as a long time, big Floyd fan him big upping himself at pressers makes me cringe. Just hype these other mfers Floyd ffs.

I'm with you. I defended him for years, but it's plain to see that Floyd is sick. He can't let the light go.

Yeah, he helped make Tank and AB stars; however, that "lil bro" stuff has gotten tired and obnoxious. Just let these young guys shine.

Huge Floyd Mayweather fan, been for years, however I can't help but agree that Floyd isn't really helping his guys anymore, I remember like 5 years ago when he gave a lot if his fighters a lot of opportunities and it looked like he was losing money but didn't care as long as the fighters got the opportunity. He gave Jack a lot of chances, Mickey Bey, Ishe Smith, Gervonta Davis and wven Jleon Love, most of them blew it, most weren't as good as advertised, but that's not Floyd's problem.

That stuff just disappeared in the last couple of years though, it's gotten so bad to the point where fighters are starting to express their frustrations on social media. I don't know if it's his ego or if he he just doesn't care anymore with all the money and the other more profitable businesses. All I know is that if I were a young fighter I wouldn't sign with Mayweather promotions.

I don't get why people would even trip about Wilder's criticism of Floyd...everybody knows Floyd is a hater..even people that run in his circle. It's pretty well documented. With Floyd it's always a "big me, little you" situation.

I dont think anyone would deny that Mayweather is a hater or self obsess with himself. Wilder though is only saying all of these now because Mayweather had him 0-5 down on the scorecard, his ego was hurt.

The thing is Mayweather wasn't the only person who had him 0-5 down, others did. Yes some didn't score the whole 5 rounds to Fury but we had a number of people who correspond what Mayweather said live.

All of a sudden Wilder is telling Mayweather to "Go get married" Lol, look after your fighters etc That is words coming from an emotional man... His ego was hurt bad.

He spoke the truth

[Mindgames]

Wow, Floyd thought Wilder lost, like nearly everyone else did. Cant Deotay take any criticism? Dont think Floyds the hater here.

[Carpe Diem]

Floyd like one of those wrestlers who refuse to put anybody over lol.

He’s like Hulk Hogan. So washed up, but still has the biggest ego ever. Lol

[j.razor]

Floyd never even said anything bad about Wilder. He just said Fury was winning and Wilder needed to do more than look for 1 shot. Can't exactly say he was wrong.

But this is true that Floyd can't seem to put his own ego aside. He will even downplay his own fighters achievements by talking about what he did in boxing. What kind of way is that to promote your fighters? He also spends more time promoting his strip club than his stable of fighters. Look how many social media followers he has, you would think he would utilise that for his fighters too.

Strange guy is Floyd. Amazing fighter, best of his time but has the mentality of a self-centered 14 year old girl even in his 40's. That's why fighters like Mikey Garcia didn't sign to him.

That's not true. He doesn't say anything negative about his fighters he talks shet when OTHER fighters put his name in their mouths like Oscar, Nelo & D.Wilder just did. Like you said Floyd just gave his opinion on who he thought won the fight & D.Wilder felt some type of way. Floyd aint hard to figure out, he's sensitive.

I don't see it like many of you!

Floyd has changed over the years but he has become much bigger since being at Top Rank where you could walk in and see him lacing up his shoes. We are very quick to throw stones but don't no really what goes on inside his stable. Many of the people he signed have unaddressed issues and we blame Floyd; which is wrong. I personally know of fighters from Detroit he has given opportunities to and if you choose not to make the most of them; he's not the blame. Gervonta is young and his talent and own discipline will need to change to get to the next level. J'Leon has had a few set backs but seem to be at the tail end of a good career, Badou is doing fine and has had multiple opportunities. Now what haters!

[j.razor]

Nothing wilder said is incorrect. I actually removed Floyd from Instagram, all he does is promote strip clubs and himself while acting like a child whenever another fighter is in the news. I actually forgot that Floyd even promoted fighters still since he never actively promotes anyone other than himself.

But Floyd’s die hard fans will turn on Wilder now.

….On the news talking shet about him. But that's okay with you though right? LOL....FOH

[IceTrayDaGang]

agreed 100000%

"Over and time again, you see him don't want no one to be bigger than him, make it past him, and you even see that with his own fighters," Wilder told Sports Illustrated.

"He has tremendous fighters in his stable, but how many guys he put out there as superstars. Even at press conferences when he's promoting his fighters - he's always mentioning himself. I don't think he could do nothing without mentioning himself".
