Yeh, its simply hype from Floyd.
How can a man who has boxed his entire life, compete against men who have fought MMA their entire life.
Thats like Barry Bonds saying his entering a professional golf tournament! Some similarity, but not his craft.
Floyd will try and manage MMA fighters, teach them boxing skills, but no way he steps into MMA personally. He is just trying to make a bit more cash out of something else. Its typical of Floyd.
Big Floyd, what a mess that guy is! He is an absolute loose cannon!
On Point!!! "and the NEW"
I agree, floyd seems to be on a huge money mission. With Mayweather Promotions entering the forum of promotions, they will need alot of venture capital and floyd is pretty commited to that end. So, if he has to do this or that to gain exposure & eventually gain some money .... he's going to do it.
On Sr.
I don't think I've read an interview where he hasn't focused or mentioned the accomplishments of his son. {Wether the interviewer leads him in that direction is irrevelant} And I recently came to realize why ..... PBF is Floyd Sr.'s claim to fame. As long as PBF is successful, he will to some degree be successfull as well by clinging on to that coattail. And the off-repeated statement "I taught lil floyd everything he knows about boxing" has worn severely thin. Especially since Roger M. has been training PBF for almost the last 10+ years. At what point does Roger get some credit from Sr.??? {Probally Never}
Now I don't want to take anything away from Sr. {Maybe he is a good trainer} because many have benefited from his understanding. But, the fact is many seek his services now mainly because of the success of PBF {Which cannot be attributed solely to Sr.} So, reading his comments is at the very least entertaining, but his comments are often based on his selfish views and inability to give credit where it is honestly due.
Personally, I have a very low opinion of Floyd Sr. and I doubt that will ever change, because it is unlikely that he will ever change.
