We chopped it up with “Money Making” Floyd Mayweather Jr. again. The dude is down to earth and trying to turn a new chapter in his life. It’s called maturity:

Bossip: What Up Floyd? How you living man?

Floyd: I am doing good… no complaints. Getting ready to get to work with my training.

Bossip: Nice… Is that rib injury all the way healed? Be honest with us…

Floyd: It’s healed…totally.

Bossip: Good. Hey, we asked our readers on Twitter what questions to ask you. Here are some of them…”What would Floyd Mayweather Jr. be doing if he was not a boxer?”

Floyd: Floyd would probably be an entertainer of some sort, if not boxing, something else. I love being in front of a crowd and performing. My family is tight and if we were involved in another part of the entertainment business, I think we would be successful anyway. We are positive people. Media outlets try and bait me, but they know I am far from negative… and Bossip, you know that eats them up. That’s why certain endorsers hate a brother.

Bossip: “Who are you chopping down right now?”

Floyd: No one… Floyd is so focused on my training right now. I don’t have time. That rumor about Tiny was false. I think TI is a pretty good rapper and wish him and his family nothing but the best. Floyd is not making sweet love to anybody else besides this speed bag right now.

Bossip: “Why don’t you stop making it rain in the clubs?”

Floyd: I have. From now on, we are only giving away money to people less fortunate and people in need. I feel I can make a difference in so many people’s lives beyond boxing. I want to give to those that need it now. Being at the age that I am now, my kids are really influential to me and them always wanting to do the right thing is inspiring. So, we don’t make it rain in the “scrip clubs” anymore, now we make it rain at the shelters for the homeless, battered women, and abused kids.

Bossip: That’s what we are talking about. Good to see you doing the right thing with your money now!

Floyd: Praise God and my children.

Bossip:  We read an article during the week calling you “racist” because you said something like “only blacks and Latins can box..white boys are far and few between right now,” or something to that effect. Do you want to comment on that?

Floyd: First off, let Floyd start off by saying…”I-am-not-racist.” Secondly, what I said is the truth. White boys can’t box right now. All the best fighters are Latin or Black. We dominate the sport of boxing. MMA is for beer bellied bar brawlers who don’t care about brain damage and technique. Sorry Bossip, I call a spade a spade. The great white hype theory is true…

Bossip: Any predictions on the upcoming Marquez fight Floyd?

Floyd: Just tell Bossip readers to tune in. It will be a good fight. Marquez is not a punk and is a great fighter. I am looking forward to a good fight. He represents hard to the Mexican fans… and I can appreciate that, but he will lose to “Pretty Boy,” it’s inevitable.

Bossip: Cool, thanks for your time again brother. What did you think of the articles we put down with you already?

Floyd: Unbelievable. Unlike other media outlets, you are not trying to bait me in. It’s like speaking to a friend or something. You are one of the only media outlets that has not doctored our interview and made me seem like a bad guy. Thanks man…

Bossip: Now, about those tickets Floyd…

Floyd: You are breaking up… I gotta get back to training. Talk to you next week Bossip.

We “think” Floyd may beat up Marquez for the whole 12 rounds because of Marquez being such a tough cookie; nevertheless, this should be a great fight.

  • http://urbanfrugalchic.com Cynthia

    You waist money…I am frugal and save my money. But opposites attract, we can make it work LOL

  • charlieblanko

    Me too Bman. Floyd said what black people have been wanting to say about MMA and boxing for years.

  • Audacity of Dope

    Get em money

  • Jay the Real One

    MMA took over for boxing because boxing got boring and greedy and took itself off free tv. Plenty black folks love mma.

  • Jenn

    Oh, and unemployment is a joke!! They sent us 4checks and then told my husband that he was ineligible so we have to pay the money back!!

  • charlieblanko

    Jenn, did you get emergency aid? Food stamps yet? They do pay retro, but initially starting up is hard. The workers don’t call you, because they are hoping you go away. You gotta bug them.

  • Jay the Real One

    This dude is an idiot.

  • Ci-Error

    MMA is waaaay better and more skillful than boxing. Floyd would get destroyed in the ring with an Anderson Silva or a George St Pierre. puh-leeeease

  • charlieblanko

    Anyone would get destroyed by Anderson Silva and everybody that stepped up to that brother has failed, hard! I respect anderson. He is a total beast!

  • somedude

    PLease!!! coming from sombody that Boxes and did MMA …MMA is nowhere near the level of skill that boxing takes. If that was the case you would see MMA guys leaving and gettin that boxing money ….The reason they are in MMA is because they could not make it in boxing or K1 level kick boxing ….ohh yeah Anderson has destroyed all the white mma gods and deep inside he wants roy jones cause nobody else in that chicken coop ring can beat him

  • blabla

    … and east european. why? because they all have flat noses. white people dont what their noses to be squashed down.
    no hating, just a fact.

  • Jenn

    @charlieblanko
    I did apply for PRC for help with my utilities and food assistance and that took like a month and a half to go through so by then I start messing with the loan sharks I mean payday loans to make it through….needless to say they gone have stand in line to get they money back..shh we had to eat. My family was low income even when my hubby was workin but we tried to make it through without the help of the county the only thing I took from them disrespectful, life drainers was daycare and medical for the kids. I refused to apply for stamps as long as we was above water, so I faxed the foodstamp app to the medical case worker who then told me she would pass it to the emergency area because of the situation. Whoever this new worker is mad at the world becuase she sent my faxed application back to me(7/9/09) along with a new application and told me it had to be on that paper??? WTF, did you not read emergency assistance on the F’g paper! So I filled it out, literally right after I got it and mailed it. I called the workers supervisor yesterday and left her 4messages at the end of the day I called the govmt umbudsman (don’t know if I spelled that right) office for help so maybe I’ll know something Monday. I’m just f’d up right now and the emergency help ain’t coming how it should..I mean why call it emergency help if no one will get at you ASAP

  • change the quote… RACIST

    ”I-am-not-racist.” Secondly, what I said is the truth. Black boys can’t do math, science or speak proper English right now. All the best students are white. We dominate colleges and the corporate world.

    Hey Floyd, how that sound?

  • bman

    Black boys can’t do math, science or speak proper English right now. All the best students are white. We dominate colleges and the corporate world.

    good for u white boy lol!

  • Jenn

    @bman
    I never thought off it like that…you racist and Floyd’s comments was a lil racist but you both were honest. Damn, SMH at the fact I just agreed with a redneck. We, I gotta help the young black boys in my area.

  • Chris Partlow (Dont Fret Boss. I Got U Covered. Quick & Clean, I Promise)

    Floyd is dat dude!!! Cotto and Packman dont want it!!!

  • bman

    Jenn

    ok bro!

  • charlieblanko

    naw jenn. For every black boy that is not good in school, five are. The same for what floyd said…there are good white boxers, but he was speaking generally. I think that is an untrue statement about black youth. They are in college, doctors, and lawyers. White champions in boxing are harder to come by than successful black men.

    Fact!

  • Jenn

    It’s not to say that there aren’t any smart black boys but the truth is there is a lack of black leadership in my corp office and previous corp offices I’ve worked in. I’ve been blessed to work for some very influential companies and can attest to the lack of black folks running shh, for a lack of a better phrase. Now what Floyd said was 100% accurate, BDman was accurate in that respect aforementioned only…don’t get it twisted rednecks African-Americans males are on the come up. I’m just saying that the single moms in my area need help because one wasted young black males life is one to many to me.

  • Atl_Finest

    I don’t know anything about Floyd but here is a blind item from another site that 70% of the bloggers guess the answer as Floyd and 50 cent.

    *********BLIND ITEM

    This black celebrity male has blown through multi-million but he’s still frontin and stunting like he has millions in the bank but he’s down to his last penny.

    He blew his money on exotic cars, the cheapest one is $150,000. He only wears the most expensive bling and doesn’t buy any jewelry below six figures and he gives women bling on the regular. Again, nothing under six figures.

    He’s also bought women houses and fancy cars as well as taking them on shopping trips to Europe on private planes.

    He still eats out seven days a week and refuses to wear the same thing twice.

    Meanwhile, on the low, to keep up appearances, he’s begging his rapper buddy for loans and it’s put a strain on their already fragile association.

  • Flim Flam Man

    So are you saying that if Money May broke is leg tomorrow, it would be a rap for him financially?

  • Sydney™

    “So, we don’t make it rain in the “scrip clubs” anymore, now we make it rain at the shelters for the homeless, battered women, and abused kids.”

    Interesting. . .Wasn’t his uncle recently arrested for attempting to strangle a woman boxer?

    Doesn’t Mayweather Jr. himself have some past brushes with domestic violence?

  • justpeachy

    Hey Floyd- stop refering to Floyd in the third person. Only Jesus is allowed to do that ( and he wouldn’t because referring to ones self in the third person either means your incredibly egotistical or mentally psychotic).
    Have a good day everyone :)

  • charlieblanko

    I don’t believe that ATL. This guy is richer than rappers. His paydays are fact, rappers are fiction and conceptually drawn out to impress people. I do not think this dude is broke…AT ALL!

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    Dont beleive everything you read ATL.

  • Sydney™

    He does refer to himself in the third person, lol.

    Creepy.

  • olsweetdickwillie

    He is da man…He dont fight for no titles, he fight for money….

  • Sydney™

    lol @ 6

    That’s not quite the same thing. :)

    He’s weird.

  • Sydney™

    And what’s wrong with his uncle/trainer?

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    let me see whats crackin’ in the other posts….

  • http://Bossip.com mike

    Don’t bring Jesus into the conversation,most don’t even understand what he was about!(Religions wrong,Jesus is NO different than ANY of us,just more evolved!)

  • bman

    P.S. Latins are more “white” than black! Also Silva is Brazilian NOT black,theres a difference!!!

    lol……hahahah What a bullshit!

  • bman

    mike u WACK LOL!

  • charlieblanko

    Bman…sylvia is a “black” brazilian. Black first.

  • http://perryone779@yahoo.com rose by any other name

    How the hell is he a racist when he is telling the truth. White people kill me calling blacks racist when they speak the truth.. They have been racist all their lives .. now if Floyd m had said they shouldnt let white boys box at all because they are no good, then that would be racist my friend~~!!

  • charlieblanko

    exactlyRose

  • Truthsquad

    Most scientists and Doctors are White so there most be something lacking in Blacks.

  • olsweetdickwillie

    @rose…Morning !!

  • Yusubov

    “Mrs FLOYD”!
    Hey…dear Floyd,you should not talk to differences between white and black,of course if you are gentle. We are the only people who lives in that world.
    The second,if you are talking about the boxer who are the best…. You will see a best boxer front of you,in the ring who knocks you out. This guy will be from Azerbaijan. I am not Latin or black(sorry for thay word,i have a respect to everybody).I am a boxer who is really will break your JAW.
    I only wait a time to get you. BE PATIENT “mrs Floyd”

  • Ara

    well ….

  • Truthsquad

    What those idiots don’t realize is that once they start talking race they become untouchable to the media and advertisers so they lose a boatload of advertisers money for their stupid talk.

  • !!!!!R.I.P MIKE!!!!!

    I LIKE FLOYD HES COOL AND PAID AND COOL WITH BOO.

  • YunGin

    Yall gotta realize that there are more black folks in south america than there is in North america..

  • http://Bossip.com Mike

    I have to say we all sound stupid when we get too involved with race when in the end it matters little in terms of toughness.NO race is superior to another physically or such!ALL races have there strengths and weaknesses and it all ballances out in the end.
    Here’s to the prosperiousness,(is that a word?) of both sports and all people!

    PS If that sounds corny let me know! lol

  • Jay

    Like them or not the Klitschkos could compete in any era of the heavyweight division. Joe Calzaghe is a sure hall of famer that went avoided by BHop and Roy during thier primes. Dariusm Michelcheswiski was also avoided by the better black guys.
    I like boixng more than MMA, but Floyd you could not compete anymore in that sport than one of them could compete in yours.

  • Mellie

    Hey Floyd,since your so into giving money to the less fortunate can you pay a sistas tuition.

    Hey it doesn’t hurt to ask!!!!

  • figgo

    @mellie
    i will pay your tuition if you give me good hair.

  • figgo

    good head. sorry

  • http://perryone779@yahoo.com rose by any other name

    @charlieblanko…. I hear you , you are so right and that what im talking bout… yeah for you grammar correctors.. i know its about!!!~~~~~~

  • williedynamite

    there ARE black doctors/lawyers/etc…BUT they are not in majority…cause some of the black population is still living in low income communities that have low standard school systems with teachers who dont care…

    Parents usually have children at a young age so when their children are born they are still struggling to make ends meet, they cant give the child the attention it needs, so the child basically raises itself and the cycle continues…generation after generation.

  • white male

    Isn’t the heavyweight champ right now white????

  • The Main Event

    Anderson Silva or any other MMA fighter at his skill level would dominate any boxer at any weight class in a street fight. Anyone that disagrees with this statement has both never fought in their life and knows nothing about fighting.

  • Wanjiru®

    Love Floyd :)

    @old sissy fights..Damn boy, everytime I come back from lunch, be all OBSESSED with me and stalking me..Give it a rest FAG!!!

  • prettywhitegirl

    Yes! black people are only good at things which have to be with violence and blood. I’m glad he’s acknowledging it.

  • olsweetdickwillie (WHO GONNA CHECK ME BOO?)

    @sissy, recieve my soul…I eat boys like you for Brunch!!!

  • prettywhitegirl

    That’s the best you can come up with? stupid negro. Go back to your gang you nincompoop.

  • Truthsquad

    @sissy – I’d love to agree with you but for one thing.
    Once the Blacks are educated to White standards they tend to outperform the Whites. So now there is a steady march by Blacks taking our those areas which was formerly known as White domain, Golf/Astrophysics/Tennis/Let not forget preeminent brain surgeon today is a Black New Yorker.

  • Truthsquad

    @sissy – My apology, I mistakenly put your name instead of “prettywhitegirl”.

    I was just trying to make a point that Blacks have tended to rise to the top when given unfettered opportunity to advance.
    Like in Baseball – The previous records are invalid because Blacks were not allowed to play.

  • dubya

    Hmmmmm…let’s try this one out…

    Most Good Students are White and Asian….Black People lack.

    Please. Get happy about something that matters.

  • Truthsquad

    @dubya
    Let me correct that for you most good students are Asians (Chinese/Indians/Pacifics then Whites – Whites are lacking in comparison to the Asian race.

  • olsweetdickwillie (WHO GONNA CHECK ME BOO?)

    @sissy…exactly…your at the library..enough said…

  • Truthsquad

    @dubya
    Many of the premiere Universities are now considering a form of affirmative action for White students, to limit the amount of Asian students outright or to lower the impact of high test scores on the selection process.
    The problem with many black students is, they don’t take studies as seriously as they need to, but when they do, they happen to do quite well.

  • olsweetdickwillie (WHO GONNA CHECK ME BOO?)

    @sissy kisses…

  • http://none KnowledgeIsPower

    Floyd is a extremly talented brother but is wrong because there some skilled talented white boxers but there not in the united states!

    There in europe is comments are ignorant but racist aswell!

    Heavyweight divison is dominated by eastern european fighters its a fact them Klitschko brothers valuev and the majority of the top heavyweights are european whites,,,, floyd wrong!

    What about Joe Calzaghe floyd??? lol shaken head floyd hating…. Joe pretty much humiliated bernad hopkins, roy jones jr, jef lacey.

    Its sad that Joe Calzaghe came from the moutians i seen where he would train in the whales on hbo ghetto boxing gyms were more humaine to train then is.

    Bhop told calzaghe i would never lose to a whiteboy look what happened he owned hopkins!!!

    Stop ducking pacman. If Marquez don’t get you, the pacman will. And the reason your people don’t back you is not because they like other fighters, its because you are arrogant and disrespectful. You ever heard of class? Step up to Pacquaio and you’ll see what that’s all about.

    He’s got brain for sure.

  • http://none KnowledgeIsPower

    Floyd is the truth in the ring you cant deny that but he seems a bit racist i cant front!

  • Logic

    For everyone who agrees that black men are good boxers and white men aren’t, you must also agree that white men are good doctors, CEOs, scientists, students, inventors and fathers & black men aren’t.

    Because the same ‘evidence’ that proves the first statment proves the second.

    CHUUUUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Dumb ‘groid

    Silly ‘groid! Most college students are white or Asian. Guess blacks and Latins are lacking something. Oh, and BTW, most “Latins” in this country are WHITE.

  • Rob

    I like Floyd, but white fighters were a dominant force in the early days of boxing…Marciano, Lamotta, Conn, and of course Jack Dempsey. Dempsey alone had pioneered the “bob n’ weave” style of boxing and is regarded as one of the best boxers of all time. Even Mike Tyson admired Dempsey’s awesome power and defensive abilities. Although Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti(both white) had never possessed the abilities that Mayweather had, they provided three epic battles that blew away anything that Floyd had provided us with. They gave us more action in one round, than Floyd has provided us with in his entire career.
