Among his good attributes, beyond his sublime boxing talent, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has some negative traits.
To me, the most odious is that the ring superstar is a control freak.
Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather avers, cannot be allowed to do half of his training for a megafight between them in his homeland because the USADA would not handle Manny’s rnadom drug testing until he shifts training to Freddie Roach’s gym in Hollywood.
The fact that “parent organization” WADA would handle this in the Philippines is conveniently ignored so Mayweather and minions can bark “if you’re the best, take the test.”
Control freak.
Imagine the hooting and hollering if Pacquiao or Bob Arum said that they want Mayweather to train in his native Grand Rapids rather than his comfy Las Vegas gymnasium.
Self-appointed, self-annointed as a media critic, Mayweather calls for 80 year old HBO commentator Larry Merchant to get fired, pronto, so a “young and hungry reporter” can step into the plum gig.
