    I have been in Las Vegas for about 4 years. There is something very unique about Las vegas that many people never think about. Thatthought is the two very different groups of people in this town at any given time. These groups are TOURISTS and LOCALS.

    The locals here that either work in or are hangin out in the nightclubs are a very tight knit group and we all take care of each other whenever possible. ( iused to work in one of them so I am close with alot of people who work in the various clubs). Everybody knows everybody and we are all usually in the same places night after night.(other than during the weekend, when most of the locals work) Floyd is definitely one of these locals and is out all the time.

    I can tell you firsthand that Floyd is definitely very well-liked around town. I have not heard one local say anything bad about him or comment on his perceived bad attitude. The few encounters Ive personally had with him have all been 100% positive and he appreciates that we treat him like one of us, instead of kissing his ass.

    This is because we are quite used to dealing with primadonna celebrities on a nightly basis, who feel like thay should have their asses kissed all the time. Celebrities who dont tip anyone, or dont want to pay for anything. Floyd is NOT one of those celebs. He is well-known as one of the best tippers and very polite with everyone who goes up to talk to him. Ive watched him take pictures with individuals for 30 minutes to an hour.

    I felt the need to post this because I'm tired of people talking about Floyd like they know the guy. Its really annoying. People who speak on him as a person without ever having met him, much less talked to him. Out of the roughly 15 people I know who have hung out with Floyd (male and female), 100% of these people have nothing but good things to say about him as a person. That includes valets, casino bosses, hosts,club managers,etc.

    It just struck me as funny, Ron "defending" Mayweather since "the locals in Las Vegas all hang out together and take care of each other."

    Apologies.

    :lol:

    Strippers love Floyd, they make a lot of money off of him.

    And unlike when Pacman Jones enters the room, they don't have to worry about getting their head smashed against the floor.

    Floyd doesnt drink, but he'll buy all the liquor for the parties.

    Ron it sounds like he simply buys his friends? :dunno:

    would people like him if he didn't first buy the liquor to get them plastered, then tip them for talking to him?

    Telling people not to talk about Floyd like they "know him" and here you are acting like he's your best bud. lol You don't know the guy either so give it up.

    This just clinches in.
    I always maintained that Floyd is one of the nicest guy around.
    Also, unlike Zoo, who's actually been convicted in the court of law of stealing from his managers, Floyd is yet to be found guilty of anything.

    His crew showed up. Then it became "showtime."

    After 9/11 , Felix Trinidad bought NYC a new 600K fire truck and Oscar DLH donated 1 million dollars.

    And Floyd humiliated ODLH in the ring in the biggest PPV ever, as his way of offering support to the boxing fans after 9/11.

    Floyd did not come close to humiliating Oscar. If anyone got humiliated it was Floyd who fought like a damn pansy after acting like he was going to go to war with Oscar.

    Well, I'd consider that a humliation. With the size difference in that fight, ODLH should've KOed Floyd. Any other result (especcially PBF victory) is a humiliation to ODLH. Simple as that.

    Fought like pansy? Did you watch the fight? PBF rocked ODLH twice, while ODLH pitty-patted air.

    :laughing: Floyd humiliated himself by running , punching air , then clinching.
    I never seen someone employ both the tactics of Spinks and Ruiz all at the same time until Floyd fought Oscar.

    I'm convinced dym really hates the fighters he pretends to like, so he acts like the most obnoxious troll imaginable with the hope that other guys will hate that fighter.

    Even though Oscar fought at a lighter weight in a pro fight then Floyd ever did.

    You do know that Floyd was the Black guy in the ring and Oscar was the Mexican ?
    Sounds like you have things reversed here so I had to ask this question.

    That doesn't mean much.

    Oscar is still a larger person physically than Floyd.

    Floyd was Pretty Cool the 1 Time REED met him...

    He was in Dallas During his Press Tour Hyping the DeLa Fight...

    @ 1 Point there was like 20-30 Media Guys Surrounding Floyd (the FANS in Attendance were ONLY Interested in DeLa:lol: )...ALL of the Local Networks & the Sports Radio Stations...Cats that NEVER Covered Boxing in their LIVES, UNTIL a Huge Event Came to Town:rolleyes: ...Since REED Arrived LATE,he was @ the VERY BACK of this Media GangBang w/his Voice Recorder & Cheesy Ass Camera...

    There AIN'T Many "Brothers" in the Dallas Media, So REED Stuck Out like a Sore Thumb:lol: ...During 1 of his Rants, Floyd Noticed REED & Gave that Knowing "KNOD" that Brothers Give to Each Other...Then Floyd Whispered to 1 of his Flunkies who then Came Over to REED & Walked REED behind the Table where REED could Get a Better Camera Angle of Floyd & Record his Voice Better...

    All those Other Media Types were in SUITS, had their Expensive T.V. Cameras, a List of Questions & Shit...& Here was Lil' Ol' REED w/a Cut-Off T-Shirt (Vargas-Mosley Shirt),Hat to the Side, the Voice Recorder that TWIN Gave him a Few Years Ago & his Wife's Digital Cam:lol: ...

    REED just LOOKED More like a REAL Boxing Fan than the Rest & Floyd Seemed to Notice that...So while the REAL Media was Fighting for Space, REED was Standing Right Next to Floyd...

    REED Eventually Got his Photo Taken w/Floyd,that Most of Ya'll have Seen...& Later that Night, there was Footage of REED Standing Next to Floyd on 2 of the Local News Stations...

    GREAT Day!!!...

    REED:cool:
