Terrible. A man should NEVER disrespect his father like that and especially in public. Floyd doesn't know the verse: "Honour your father and mother that your days will be longer"
I definitively think the Mayweather's were faking. Doesn't matter, very trashy on both ends. Floyd is going to have a hard time when he's older and unable to fight, he has nothing going for him as a human being.
who cares? his father is a cretin, so is Uncle Rog bunch of scumbags, always have been you make it sound like his dad was some great guy, he's a sociopathic hoodrat
He's still his father. Doesn't matter what YOU think of him or them...what matters is that a person should NEVER throw their own father under the bus in public.
The entire thing is a sham, a facade.....moments after his victory over Ortiz it will be..."I love you daddy" all over again.
That fight wasn't a sham. The fact the cameras caught it and it's good PR to "reconcile" for the cameras will be the sham.
Do you they'll have some Celine Dion music playing in the background while father and son share a tearful embrace?
PBF is such a fake attenthion whore, that it wouldn,surprised me if it was staged. Still, there's no denying that floyd sr is a fucked up human being, and clearly has some mental issues
perhaps he's always been that way and didn't express nor shown it as much, but mayweather is one angry dude.
Same ole Mayweather. I'm sick of his act honestly. If he doesn't face Pacquiao after this fight, its because he's SCARED... Simple as that.
Heres the deal. It's been yrs since his pops was put in jail and or prison. It has clearly affected Floyd Jr and has affected their relationship. I don't think Flyd Jr has ever forgiven him. Obviously they had a great father son relationship prior that was torn apart by Sr. They both need to mend those fences. What happened in the past happened in the past. It's time to move on. That's why we saw this blowup and that's why they continue to have blowups. People wonder whyJr behaves the way he does is to show his dad what he has and by throwing it in his face. That's why he says roger is the best trainer in the world cause he knows that shit hurts his pops. And I don't know if Sr has really apologized for hurting his son. It's sad but people on this site need to stop actin like they don't have family issues or have close friends that are going through similar type situations. I'll Holla 5000
This is 100% Sr's fault. He always makes snide remarks towards Jr and Roger. And it finally took it's toll. Sr has failed as a father and a husband. This is YEARS of built up emotions. Both father and son would benefit greatly from therapy.
Why was Sr. even at the gym? This won't effect Floyd in the least. Whether I like him or not he's always been sociopathic in his focus regarding his, in the ring duties. This is all nothing new for him or anybody else in the Mayweather clan, except for Jeff who seems to just mind his own business and stay away from all the drama.
EXCELLENT Post, Dog... You Actually Touched On a Point that REED NEVER Considered; the STUNTED Emotional Growth of Lil' Floyd, which is More than Likely DIRECTLY Related to Floyd Sr's Time AWAY in Prison... Lil' Floyd Said he was 16 when his Father Went Away...16 Year Old Dudes R FINDING their Way & Sloooooowly BECOMING MEN @ that Age...So By the Time Floyd Sr. was Released, Lil' Floyd was a DIFFERENT Cat...He was a CHILD when Sr. Went Away, but a (Young) MAN when Pops Got Back Home...The PROBLEM is, Floyd Sr. Still TALKS to his Son like he's that 16 Year Old CHILD... You're Absolutely RIGHT; Everything about Lil' Floyd is Centered Around SHOWING his Pops that he's a MAN Now...The Entourage, the Constant HARPING on his Financial Status, Praising Roger, etc...REED NEVER Thought of it THAT Way, but it Makes Sense...Sr. WON'T Budge, Lil' Floyd's Grown to RESENT it & it's Almost a RELEASE of Sorts, for Lil' Floyd to Throw "Darts" in his Old Man's Face... The SON in REED is EMBARRASSED that Lil' Floyd "Went There" w/his Old Man, PUBLICLY...But the FATHER in REED Recognizes that a GOOD Parent Backs Off, Let's Go & Even HUMBLES Themselves when Warranted, for the Sake of their Child...It's NOT about Always Being "Right" w/your Kid... The Mayweather's have a Pretty UNIQUE Family Dynamic...First & Foremost, it's COMPETITIVE on Every Front; Verbal Jousting, Training Resumes, Boxing Exploits, it's ALL Fair Game... Floyd Sr's a PROUD Man...The Undeniable FACT is that he CREATED the "Mayweather" Name in Boxing...He Really WAS the "Originator", as he Likes to Remind Us...The Problem is, he's NOT Content w/Merely Knowing that, he's Gotta SHOUT it to the World... "Like I Said Before", REED GETS why Sr. GRATES on Lil' Floyd's Nerves, but STILL, it's Pretty Shitty to Do your FATHER like that... Make No Mistake, this WAS NOT Staged...Father AND Son Seemed Pretty COMFORTABLE, ie., ACCUSTOMED to Engaging 1 Another in that Fashion...Lil' Floyd Said the Type of HURTFUL Shit that U CAN'T Fake...Moreso, the Mayweather's Simply AREN'T Sophisticated Enough to STAGE Something like that... REED:Lok:
This sorta thing happens much too often amongst black men in the spotlight. Remember the whole Shaq fiasco? Dudes biological father did time, mom marries stepfather in the interim, Shaw mqkes a bullshit song about biological didn't bother.....muthafucka's retired, his biological father lives ons freaking room, and Shaw's dumb ass STILL holds a grudge and won't talk to the man. Shameful.
I got a laugh out of Floyd's ranting about who has dominated their sport for 15 years etc... Imagine if Roger Federoro or Nadal refused to play tournaments the other entered. Floyd forgets what makes them great is they play each other multiple times per year...not only in the majors.
