Why few supported Mayweather fights before he became "Money"

[Brother Jay]

Jealous? Of what? I'll say it again, he was always Money. He just needed the platform to become a success, and when he got it he ran with it.

Jealous of everything Floyd is.

You continue to discuss Floyd the man as if you know him.

You didn't even watch him early on. Yet you discuss him like you are sure about who he's always been.

Now what would lead a man to assassinate another man's character if its been made clear that the critic doesn't know what he's talking about?

J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y

You hate him because you can't be him. You probably said the same about Roy Jones after he beat Ruiz. You probably said the same about Lennox Lewis after Vitali. You probably said the same about Shane Mosley after he beat DLH.

There will always be haters. You just revealed yourself to be among them.

There are very few Roy Jones fans on this site than that are more so than me, so you're definitely wrong there. I've never hated on Lennox for the Vitali fight, which any look into a thread involving that fight would show you. And I've never said a bad word about Mosley as far as the Oscar fight, the first one anyway. And I don't hate Floyd at all, I hate on him sometimes because it's funny how angry people get, but I have never doubted he is great, only disagreed about how great some think he is. I don't consider it a negative to say he was always Money, the way you seem to think I am insulting him for it. He was a good guy when people thought it would work and he would be the next Leonard, and became the villain when it would work. So he's always been Money, because he wanted to make as much money as he could, the way every fighter does. The Money persona didn't come out of nowhere.

And I'm absolutely jealous of Floyd. All of us are, all of us wish we made the money Floyd did and had that level of success. So duh, of course I'm jealous. Anyone on this site that says they aren't jealous of the success Floyd's had in his life is probably lying.

Floyd's been a pro since 1996.

Try understanding that. Then try to understand that the guy has been on top since his 18th fight 2 years later.

Understand that the Castillo fight was 6 years after his debut.

That's a lot of time to have a change of heart and assess what he felt needed to be modified.

Please stop pretending that you know what you're talking about.

Bluffing your way through this conversation by citing what you happened to see in a single fight doesn't make you informed.

Don't be jealous.

Man he rarely makes sense... The only thing he knows is video games and hocus pocus bull$h1t!!! Elves, witches, sorcerers, just look at his sigs.... Last time it was a video game mass effect 3... Hes always looking for an escape from reality....

YOUR AVERAGE PEASANT, WANTS EVERY SEC AND HOUR OF EVERYDAY TO BE FANTASY...

LMAO.

lmao.

^^^^^look at your sig and avatar!!!!

I see nothing to laugh at if you are a grown ass man bro...

is that sorceress hot to you?? Would you hit that??? Lmao!!

[Brother Jay]

He's right....Floyd was getting booed for being ****y since he was fighting in ballrooms. Floyds always been Floyd, 24/7 just gave him the exposure to show a bigger audience. He might have turned his persona up a bit around 2007 but its always been in him.

Really?

Evidence it.

No one called Floyd a saint.

But Money Mayweather is way different than Floyd Mayweather.

That last bolded statement of yours is just a round about way of saying the same thing.

HEZEKYHWH completely broke it down for you.

If Floyd had genuine hate for his opponents, he wouldn't show them as much love as he does in EVERY fight after the final bell.

If Floyd and Money were one and the same, that would make no sense. Now would it?

Its called build up. And some just can't accept that they got played.

Its like when the WWF was forced to admit that wrestling was fake and some people couldn't handle it. Some stopped watching. While others convinced themselves that it was a way to dodge legal action and secretly wrestling was real.

There's no difference here. People believe what they allow themselves to believe. Its only the reasons that vary.

Money Mayweather is nothing but a less flagrant version of Ted Dibiase's "Million Dollar Man", but some of you wanted to hate him so badly that it wasn't even hard to sell it to you.

So why stop a good thing?

Floyd gets richer, and many of you get to have something to direct your anger/hate/jealousy/disdain/contempt/prejudice/envy/ at everytime Floyd Mayweather gets any press.

You shouldnt be jealous. Jealousy is counter productive. Of course any man with a pair of balls would take the money Floyd has but, no man should ever be jealous of another man.

Jealousy leads to hatred young padawan....

Hence your posts scream it.....

The average orc/peasant is jealous of Floyd.... How old are you bro????

He doesnt even know you!!! I bet you have tons of debt and bad credit, I bet your house is an asset as well as your car too huh????

I dont think we're on the same page. I understand Money May is a persona that he puts on to sell tickets. I've been around Floyd in person and he turns it off and on. Especially when he spars, he talks heavy shit to his sparring partners in the ring and right after their done hell say something like "Good work Champ". I've been around Floyd when he's in the casinos and he's turned on the money may persona to blackjack dealers. Im just saying that his persona is nothing new, he's always been like that.

You know what .. I'll take your word for it because we all know you've been around the man.

However, how long have you been around Floyd?

My point was that Floyd was not letting the media see ANY side of "Money" prior to him going to the WWE.

I remember listening to the guy talk in interviews back in the mid 90's and it was COMPLETELY different.

So while I respect that you have the inside track to validate Floyd's behavior nowadays, let me know if you've been around Floyd back when he turned from amateur to pro and he was a laid back, humble dude.

I doubt it simply because of the hundreds of interviews this guy has given there was never any indication of "Money" or any braggadocio manner.
