*Floyd telling you in under 2 minutes EXACTLY why he had to create Floyd 'Money' Mayweather ... but see, difference between him & clowns like Broner that want to emulate him, is Floyd's discipline & knowing the difference between Floyd the boxer & Floyd the man*
More Live facts
Big Facts
Broner was no Mayweather but he became a world champion. That in itself is an amazing accomplishment.
I love hearing Floyd talk boxing and some of the old timers. You can just tell he's a student of the game.
Excellent interview. This is his best so far. In depth and from the heart. This is the real Floyd that the media DON'T want to portray.
When he says he always knew this was coming..... ...... he's so sincere... you can tell that he's not exaggerating that even in the slightest.... this man had greatness in his soul...
We all have that greatness within us , he demonstrated how powerful believing without doubt is throughout his entire career. We all have greatness within us, all of us can move mountains, we acknowledge that but still harbor doubt
@@brmillgr I would never try to put limits on any one specific person... but I think we all know deep down that all men are not created equal. Some men truly are special. But to a large degree, that's up to the individuals spirit to feel and decide.
@@The_Void_Staring_Back Im with you, there are people who are riding through this life on a different frequency. I agree that all men are not created equal in the physical sense but I believe God, Creator, Spirit of the Universe, Father of Light sees all of as equal on the spiritual side
Ali....Tyson...Dempsey....Marciano...ray Robinson....Leonard...Lennox Lewis...Bernard Hopkins and now Mayweather the baddest in the game.
Man you can see him going deep in his memories when he's talking bout his childhood... he's thinking bout where he came from to now
Couldn't have said it better sir people are just jealous of floyd, people hate successful individual especially when they are black men it is really sad but it's true
What's sad is when Floyd engages in foolish activity like burning money, spending mega bucks on a bunch of parasites who think of themselves as an entourage, and carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars around in a bag. WHY PLACE A TARGET ON YOUR HEAD LIKE THAT?
great job FIGHT HYPE! YOU ALWAYS DO A GREAT JOB WITH THESE IN DEPTH INTERVIEWS
COOL INTERVIEW, PLEASE POST A PART 2!!!!!
Loving these interviews.
I watch this video 2-3 times a month for motivation. TBE
great interview...Floyd is boxing through and through. Appreciate him while he's here
Great interview!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I respect anyone that came from nothing and was successful in life, be it sportsman or busisnessman. Money follows success.
Come on bro ❤️🙌
Very good interview. Floyd spent a lot of his life in New Brunswick New Jersey on Hiram Street. They did build a Hyatt Hotel down the street from where he was living. There's a Mayweather fitness center in our city now! The manager said that he visits pretty often.
That was a very telling interview.
Maaann pleaaseee @fighthype show us more from this interview!!
Brilliant assessment.
Interesting interview.
As a boxing fan it’s annoying to hear ppl who can’t support Pacquiao without bringing up Floyd...or support Floyd without bringing up Manny. Both these fighters are the best of our era and we’ll probably never see a lb for lb 1 and 1a in the same weight division, same generation with this much skill that fought each other ever again. Two different styles, legendary careers.
Thank you bro!
he is the epitome of a fighter taking charge of his own career and reaping the profits...not like mma or in the UFC in which fighters are treated like crap and paid according to what his master feels like paying him.
8:30: "I always knew I was going to succeed"
floyd is so cool
Entertainment just entertainment give them what they want 💥💥I personally love the laid back Floyd but guess it’s good be be multi-faceted 👊🏾alright champ
That's why he's great. A real fan of boxing and a true student of the game.
Floyd always giving props to the TRUE Mexican and Mexican-American warriors. Mexico loves Floyd Mayweather Jr.!!!
I pray with you Mayweather. I am thankful you had the opportunity to be a boxer. If your parents never apologize for the abuse know that you are loved. God loves you. I dont know if you put money into different charities but I think reaching out to children less fortunate and from abusive homes is a start. You made it. Thank God. I am so sorry you and your babymama had a situation and I pray you have learned from it. Stay humble before God and always keep praying. God is that GOOD! I know.
real shit man thx its the truth
I'v got so must respect for this video,
Hey floyd haven't heard from you in a long time new account again?
Wow! He's right! I don't even carry a key to my house either. Never thought of it that way.😅
All I can say is I wish I was that good! Nothing more that can be said
he is so well mannered he is the greatest champion fighter ever! god bless you floyd and you deserve every dollar :) good luck in life
He's in the drivers seat now yes, it's at this point where he doesn't need to sell the image so hard.
I think he's realizing it now, you see how freely he speaks raw truths. But they gonna find a way to chop and spin it, he just needs to stop giving interviews soo freely now. Close the circle and keep it simple
mayweather has become humble all of a sudden, i dont know if its to get everyone on his side for this fight or if its a negative thing and a sign that he is preparing for his first loss against cotto! either way its much better when he is like this!
Well Floyd proved your don't know shit about boxing ass up.
That’s why there was a lot of in the club people at the video shoot
THIS IS HOW I FUCKING GREW UP THIS IS WHY NOBODY CANT TELL ME SHIT! ABOUT BEING WHAT THE FUCK I WANNA BE
I never liked Floyd's style but I give him respect for coming up hard.
Showed big heart to make it in extraordinarily difficult childhood circumstances.
Worthy champion.
hard work! mayweather is the best ever
Man, that was some good stuff. If I was floyd I wouldn't act like a buffoon because some HBO film director wants me to. He's the one in the drivers seat and the one who's making the big bucks. That director doesn't run shit.
floyd respected Cotto as a man he admit he watch him train coming up at some point even the way the fight was promoted floyd got that man paid one time down
Damn Floyd that's how I grew up. Had to heat water on the stove and pour it in the sink to wash up. No heat during the winter,like two or thre pairs of clothes,and I sometimes still do make moves with my father.(drug game). It's crazy how alotta people relate to even celebrity's
Why so many irrate people. If you hate with a passion someone you never met who is basically a flawed but normal person, you're the one who is off. You realise people hated Ali the same way, and had their justifications for that. Truth is future generations will not have the same hate. And will see Floyd as a great boxer. My point is you don't have to be a fan, but the haters..well you're just haters.
As you heard man, this Floyd is not interesting for the public. I agree with you, but that's the way it is. He is a good guy to hang around with, I am sure about that and fans should know it too but as Floyd himself said in De la hoya 24/7. 'People don't want to see some punk ass dogs. People want to see controversy, this is America!'
not quite the same upbringing as manny (i know, sorry for mentioning), but a rough situation none the less. to make it from nothing is a beautiful thing...enjoy champ
Huhhhh poor is poor bruh fucc which way you live they both came from nothing
how can floyd win in a reason like this?
floyd: Self Preservation
who is the highest paid athlete and who is the second highest paid athlete?
You will ALL miss this guy when hes Retires for good
this is the stuff they don't interview floyd on because it doesn't sell tickets. because it's a human interest story, not bomb-throwing
IMA LOYAL FLOYD FAN...I NEVER WATCH PAC'S SHIT
hes one of the greatest if not greatest fighter of his era you know i was big beleiver that pacquaio could beat him but not know it would be a very close fight 2 or 3 points
Ehssen Bashir once Manny couldn't take the juice anymore he became beatable.
Yeah well I was right wasn't I? I never said anything about Pacquio.
floyd looks abit like buster douglas
maaan after 14 mins of hearing his testimony is that all you can say, fight pacman, come on the world doesn't evolve around these two fighting.
Without Floyd, boxing would be boring. End of story!
Who else entertains us outside the ring and has broken all box office records? Don't assume I don't know boxing when the facts are there
Fuck 24/7 would rather watch this sort of thing
respect hisstruggle
I would’ve followed an arrogant, loud and obnoxious Floyd just as much as a down to earth humble one. True boxing fans know skill when they see it...just a shame the media made him out to be a villain and not let him just be himself.
floyd mayweather mention he was fond of larry holmes and aaron pryor i don,t understand that
why is it when ever someone is trying not to seem racist they throw the "i have black friends " card out there ? if there a friend there a friend. now to address the Issue with his EX girl friend because they were never married so your already wrong . You and I were not there so we don't know what went down. The father issue was edited so we did not see the entire argument . I guess you ignored the 5 attempted headbutt because he was getting his ass whooped & the ref saying LET's GO
floyd doesnt have a propmoter, he promotes him self,lol that guy is leonard ellerbe, the ceo of floyds company
He's the promoter also bruh he can't worry about training and promotion at the same time he just made him the CEO of MAYWEATHER PROMOTION
FREE MONEY!!
1.56 lol Floyd didn't understand his accent
If he looks up to the Fabulous four then why doesnt he fight like they did? no politics just pride and guts. By fight i mean that they fought ANYONE know Bullshit, cold war no bullshit about money they just fought amongst themselves. To be the best you have to beat the best, Why don`t you fight the winner of Bradley and pacquiao? Oh wait Amir Khan is after maidana right?. Fuck that shit
"If he looks up to the Fabulous four then why doesn't he fight like they did?" Because if he fought like they did, you'd be saying how he's riding off the back of those four and not branching out making his own identity, like what everyone says about Adrien Broner these days. As for the cold war, that wasn't really going on back then so more fights were being made. Don King was/is a POS but at least he made big fights. Arum doesn't want to do that; he keeps all his money in house, takes more than contractually stated for the fighters he has and pretty much black balled his people from getting any fights with GBP. He can barely do fights with Lou Dibella these days
self preservation + his own promoter = easy money fights
konic40 Floyd Cherry Picker Mayweather.
There's always someone out there fans are going to say he's ducking. You don't become p4p number 1 fighting bums. You don't become 11 time world champion in 5 different weight classes being a cherry picker. You don't win the WBC titles in all 5 weight classes being a cherry picker. You don't beat all the best fighters in your era from 130-154 being a cherry picker. He cleaned out 130 beating corrales, genaro hernandez, and angel manfredy. He beat the very best at 135 in jose luis castillo, beat solid fighters at 140 in arturo gatti, phillip n'dou and chop chop corley. Then he jumped up to 147 and beat marquez, maidana, mosley, hatton. He beat canelo, cotto and de la hoya at 154. These were all the BEST fighters that he beat and made it look easy. The only genuine challenger he didn't fight was pacquaio and he tried to make that fight happen twice. Just like pacquaio fought everybody (caught a lot at the right time though), he will go down as a great fighter, with cotto, de la hoya, marquez & mosley. Corrales, hatton, gatti will all go down in the HOF. Floyd will go down as an all time great.
ducking a specific person...yes he can
just fight floyd. please. for the sake of your boxing fans. pac fan here. FYI: im not a floyd hater
Muslimshady Stash happy now?
Well gosh I think how much money a fighter makes has alot to do with how much money they should get in a fight duhhhhhhhhhh duhhhh dont you think
I dont get why it cant get through to his thick skull that they are both only 145lbs. Its not hard to get up to 145lbs, im sure 80% viewers here are over 145lbs.
I went from 145lbs to 160lbs in 5 months from working out n good nutrition. Roids would've gotten me to 200lbs
All roids don't don't put weight on you. Get it through your thick skull that roids have different purposes.
Amateur prospect C4 from Philadelphia is on the rise.
The director told him to act a way so they can craft a image of him that's why most ppl hate him but the reality director is the one who want the ranuch.
I blame the idiot who decides he'll act that way, rather than the one doing the asking.
Thank to the Creator i already saw the pacman fight 2 fights mayweather with wins by tieing him up with his left hand up on the ropes and beats asian winner with pure boxing.?
Hes gonna win tonight because they put him against another damn scrub. This guy clearly does not want to test himself against the best.
-=BORN FLY=- lol
43-0.
aint that the truth... good point..lol
Da fack!?? -__- I never said I hated the guy. I just don't get how people like you can admire someone who would beat his wife in front of his kids, publicly humiliate his own father, sucker punch another man in a pro fight, put up racists rants online, and just not give two shits about anyone except himself and his public image.
It's got nothing to do with race. Don't play the race card on me now. Some of my
best buds are black, most of my favorite musicians are black too. Wu-Tang forever
@Alvin Cortez...Sometimes celebrities and famous people do stupid things. We all know that. Regardless of how talented a person might be in the movies or how skillful a person may be on the basket- ball court, in the boxing ring, the football field, the baseball diamond, or even on the stage we're all still just HUMAN BEINGS. That's why we're only suppose to OBSERVE others, and learn from other peoples mistakes. We are to only judge OUR- SELVES. Our job is to try an be the best people that WE CAN BE. Before I found wisdom, I use be tough on celebri- ties that screwed up. I use to judge celebrities like Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen real tough just like you're doing Floyd Mayweather here. Now, I observe them and take the good and leave the bad/sins that they commit behind. What do you think about Christian Bale for pushing his mom around at the Dorchester hotel in the British capital?? The point is, it's best we learn from other people's mistakes and JUDGE only OURSELVES instead.
Wtf, what you did all good in ur life we all make mistakes the question is, do u learn from your mistake? Maywheather I feel has learned from that situation for real. It's so easy to judge another individual, but what about ur self because your not famous we can't talk about you and your flaws and you probably have a lot of flaws to.
Lol at the white sports writer thinking he tell Floyd who he should like. Floyd just told that fool how I fight has nothing to do with who I like.
I understand common sense though you dont
smh the summer part must have just went over your head and yes in "year" more kids died in chicago then soldiers in iraq thats a fact now put that bird chest back down no need to get all excited on the internet.
had a great run...mayweather will get knocked out come may 5...memba dat
Lmaooooooooooo he spanked manny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 memba dat lol
mEmBa DaT
you should watch the rest of interview!... Floyd is making common sense' he say... but he's to ignorant and nonesence! with his QandA...
I see a woman beating, money grubbing, selfish, self-loving, cowardly, disrespectful, and extremely talented boxer. He is definitely one of the greatest defensive fighters ever, but you can't deny this man is a terrible human being. I admire his fighting ability and I'll watch his fights, but I'd never root for him. Anyone that admires this type of person is just as disgusting.
You bought fight in. Hook line and sinker.
yeah some people what u see is what u get on the other hand some people true colors come to light nor good or bad in the end
Floyd is a great man. You’re delusional
