  1. What up, Mel your right about a couple things Ill give you that. But I dont have all day to tell you how wrong you are about me personally. This isnt a free country you couldnt be more right, but freedom of speech still lives. Trust me when I tell you I’m not one of the brainwashed you speek of. Understand that I dont hate anyone, but I dont care for shady ppl and Floyd is shady (plain and simple). If ppl have a problem with me stating that fact than so be it I DONT CARE. If you want to make me look like the bad guy I DONT CARE. Dont think I’ve just had bad things to say about Floyd cuz thats just not true. I’ve said he’s Talented, gifted, blessed, one of the best ever, a good champ, I’m more than happy to give him credit when he deserves it. But I’m not jumping on his bandwagon just cuz he’s Floyd Mayweather or cuz everyone else does, cuz at end of the day he’s still shady. I dont like to say negative things about ppl but if they put them selves in that negative light than thats how i’m forced to see them. Last but not least Melvin. You sound like you may be a man of faith and if you are than you must know that the scriptures are meant to be discused not argued about. I would love to talk about the word with you but that would have to be on another web site. Yea sometimes I may say things I shouldnt but if we all look at our selves in the mirror and are honest, we all have to admit the same. None are perfect not one and we all have to grow in the spirit, I think you would agree. So I thank you for your opinion & your comment, God Bless bro.

  2. @ jay my Brother I never miss quoted scripture b/c I said the Bible say my ppl will perish b/c of a lack of knowledge.” let me school u b/c I c u took everything I said out of context as usual b/c u swear that ur the only one that knows so much about boxing but it seems 2 me that all u know how 2 do is put a man down that making millions b/c of ppl like u hating on him 4 what? Ur own persona Griefs about him.” hmm? Get a Life!! When I referred 2 that scripture I mean in the form b/c of ur knowledge of not understanding the more u speak negative about him or play in to the game along with the corporations of the world.” all u do is help him continue 2 rise b/c of ur hate of of whether it’s his record or u think that he is not a real Champ or whatever uuiuu think in general b/c it really doesn’t matter b/c he is still doing his thing while u nd everybody else is hating nd FYI he is not my Favorite boxer or I am not really a Fan of his but I just am supporting some of his fights.” I went with Mosely nd not Floyd.” so u tell me.” hmm? I am just responding 2 ur destructive comments as tho this man really did something so personal 2 u nd he did nothing.” so y dnt u nd everybody else just stop being a chump nd say the real reason u dnt like him.” curious minds wants 2 know.” hmmm? I can just really imagine.” the man beat every one that bin put in front of him whether he picked them or not nd it doesn’t matter what u think or any one else wether it’s about him or any boxer in general bro.” ur dogging him as tho he screwed ur sister or something.” dnt u understand it’s all an imagine that he has 2 play in order 2 keep ppl such as urself talking negative about him.” Di u think he got this far by being stupid??? NOT? So get off the hate wagon.” dnt hate the player” Hate the Game.” u nd everybody else know even in ur wildest dreams that Maywhether can beat Pacman nd so does pacmn nd thats t Pacman didn’t want 2 take the test nd Maywhether did.” so now whAt? Nd when he beats Pacman everybody nd their momma still won’t give him the credit all b/c of hate nd that’s sad bro nd I call it like I c it.” if u don’t like him u should watch it any any means neccessary regardless if y didn’t pay 4 it b/c u dnt watch ppl I dnt like regardless of whAt.” even u hv 2 admit I still like something about him being that u would still watch it the next day.” P.S. I can’t b that Ignorant.” I own 2 successful Business nd I call my own shots.” I am happy 2 c anybody do anything that’s positive as king as they r not decieving ppl while doing their thing nd I dnt talk down about ppl b/c I dnt agree with what or how they do things b/c every finger u point at somebody there is 20 more pointing back at you.” no this ain’t no free country u better go back nd read as well as learn ur History nd not there story.” just b/c u let the Gov Brainwash u 2 make u think that u really hv real freedom.” pls dnt let me school u on American n it’s policies that the decievied u nd every one else with their freedom crap.” dnt Belive the hype!!!

Learn ur history nd not the American history that mess they taught u in school.” can’t nobody Educate u better than urself.” hmmm?

  3. I guess some ppl just cant read. I didnt say I wasnt going to see the fight. I’m saying his fights can be disappointing and their not always worth the money, like buying a Mike Tyson fight that ends with a ko in the first. What I said was I’ll see the night of the fight and thats only cuz the under cards look good. Ortiz vs Mayweather alone isnt worth it, not to me anyway, If Floyd retired tomorrow I couldnt care less. I’ve gone half (if that)on two of Floyds fights total so he didnt get rich off me. Dont get me wrong I’d luv to see Floyd get dropped live but it wont kill me to wait til morning. JD do everyone a favor and take your head out of your ass, I can tell its up there cuz the little bit you had to say was sh-t. You know what JD, talking smack with you just reminded that one time I said I wouldnt buy another Mayweather fight. So me being a man of my word i’ll stick to that. I’ll catch the re-run lol. Thanks for the reminder buddy LOL.

  4. Jay will buy the fight n we all kno it..hahaha loser. Hate or love him ppl buy his fights n thats y hes rich n hell continue 2 get richer.. Get of the hate wagon n fuk up u gronk..lol

  5. LOL I’m sorry Mel for laughing but you have no idea who or what your talking about. If you want to talk about ignorance we could talk about you misquoting and misusing scripture though, which I find much more distasteful than any negative comment might have said about your boy Floyd. I guess everything that comes out of your mouth is rainbows and sunshine (Yea wright). This is a free country and I’m entitled to my opinion just like your entitled to yours, and in my opinion Floyd always wants the fans love & money but very rarely gives the fans the fights they want when they want them. So excuse me Mel for not wanting to get hustled out of my money by some clown that only takes on legitimate fights once every three years, or only when they offer him 100 mil. to fight. Keep in mind I’m not just talking about now this has gone on his whole career, and if you give me that junk about him needing tune up fights remember he takes time off because he wants to not cuz he needs to. Thats just an excuse to take on lame fights he knows he can win. Forgive me for not being fooled by all the ass kissing he’s doing.

  6. It’s really sad how personal ppl really hv 2 get b/c they may not like a boxer b/c of this or that nd not about their personal life style b/c it truly has nothing 2 with their boxing in the ring nd ppl will tlk about home day nd night but I bet u a million dollors All those Haters will b watching behind close doors regardless what they post on her about how much they really dnt wAnt 2 watch.” yeah Rightttt!! Who u think ur fooling? Not me atleast now u can come back nd say what u like buy at the end of the day it’s ur participation of ur hate that makes him nd his stautus continue 2 rise.” but if ppl was smart they would realized that nd it’s better not 2 say nothing if u dnt hv nothing good 2 say b/c all they do is look in these sites nd c who is saying what nd all the negative talk keeps him in the batboy image stays which means it’s keep him making more money off ppl ignorance 4 feeding in with negative tlk.” hmmmm? The Bible says my ppl will perish b/c of a lack of knowledge.” hmmmmm? 🙁 now come on with those meaningless comments.”

  7. that’s why Floyd is the best of this sport right now.. The game of boxing is to hit not to be hit… I love floyds fights cuz he will make u miss and counter your a**… Trust me if fighters had the talent Floyd have they would avoid getting hit too and pot shot all night..

  8. There’s two reasons I might watch, 1. Just the hope that Floyd gets knocked out and 2. because they are trying to put together good undercards. But still if I cant get enough ppl together I’m not buying it. The most i’ll pay for a mayweather fight is 5 bucks, usually he’s so defensive that his fights end up being boring as hell anyway. Floyds fight alone isnt worth the money. Honestly I dont even want to spend the 5 bucks LOL. I’m not a cheap person I just dont like Floyd. Floyd has a way of making other boxers look boring because of his defensiveness. I’ll just see the night of the fight. I wouldnt care if had to watch it the next day or the next week for that matter. At least Im not wasting my hard earned money or putting it in Floyds pocket.

    I gave Floyd credit for paying for Hernandezs burial cuz it was a really nice thing to do. But he keeps mentioning his name as if to remind ppl that he did that. Which makes me believe that he did it for the same reason he does everything else, self service and attention. I dont think anyone really knows when this guy is being real and that includes him. I feel bad saying that but that dude just looks like the biggest fony to me.
