I bet Floyd gets that everyday where there is a lot of ppl -
Boxers should take note of Floyds/Al Haymon Business Model
Be Independent- when Floyd bought out his contract with TR, he increased his value by ten fold
Control Your Own Career
Package a Cultivating, Polarizing Persona You Can Sell to The Public
Self-Promotion
Be Unapologetic in Who You Are
Most Importantly, BACK IT UP
Reason why Floyd is sitting on the fruits of his labor is because of his incredible work ethic
And his ability to exploit a profitable opportunity
-
Whats also interesting is Floyd's take on the "villian" route he took
He started really showcasing the "villian" persona, when he fought Arturo Gatti
Then he went 100% in, when he fought Oscar
Whats funny is that during 24/7, the ? explictly stated "there can't be two good guys in this ? , its ? , so I chose to be the bad guy, ? it"
And ppl still get ? off with how he acts
Though he plays the "villian" there is multiple reasons why his "villian" role is kind of unorthodox
-He beat up some women, went to jail and got out early
-He unapologetically flashes money, which is his nickname and part of his persona. Some ppl cannot stand this so they leave rude comments on his IG, even though they can stop hating and get it themselves
-He seems like a self-centered, egotistical, flamboyant person
-He seems to not care about educating himself (? hasn't increased his reading comprehension skills since the '90s)
-He cursed out his Dad and called him a "? " on TV (some ppl still don't like him for that)
-He's defensive minded in his fighting style and can back up what he says. This leaves ppl resentful, jealous and envious because a majority of ppl can't stay true to their words but when someone can back it up, and is unapologetic for it, you're either loved or hated
-He's Black, Cocky and has money (Very dangerous in the eyes of Trump supporters & Fox Viewers)
Even though the ? is an idiot in supporting Trump
Just interesting seeing how he plays the "villian" -
Floyd is gone b.. he not dangerous either he only cares about himself.. he is no leader he is no threat.. he is a retired rapper with a knuckle game.. thats it.

http://www.boxingscene.com/dominic-breazeale-eric-molina-set-wilder-stiverne-undercard--121315Dominic Breazeale-Eric Molina Set for Wilder-Stiverne Undercard
By Keith Idec
Dominic Breazeale will have to get through one of Deontay Wilder’s knockout victims to move toward his own WBC heavyweight title shot.
BoxingScene.com has learned Breazeale will box Eric Molina on the Wilder-Bermane Stiverne undercard November 4 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs), of Eastvale, California, was scheduled to fight Las Vegas’ Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs), but Stiverne replaced Luis Ortiz as Wilder’s opponent in the main event once Ortiz tested positive for two banned substances late last month.
The 6-feet-7, 260-pound Breazeale’s lone loss came against Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs), who stopped Breazeale in the seventh round of their IBF title fight in June 2016 at O2 Arena in London. The 6-feet-4, 240-pound Molina (26-4, 19 KOs), of Weslaco, Texas, has been knocked out in the ninth round by Wilder and was stopped by Joshua in the third round.
If Breazeale and Wilder win November 4, it could set up Wilder’s next title defense. Breazeale and Wilder got into an altercation in at a Birmingham hotel following Wilder’s last title defense, a fifth-round stoppage of Gerald Washington (18-2-1, 12 KOs) on February 25 at Legacy Arena.
Breazeale beat Poland’s Izu Ugonoh (17-1, 14 KOs) by fifth-round knockout on the Wilder-Washington undercard.
The Breazeale-Molina match will be televised by Showtime Extreme, before the telecast switches over to Showtime for a tripleheader that’ll feature the Wilder-Stiverne rematch.
Stiverne, the mandatory challenger for Wilder’s WBC heavyweight title, is the only opponent Wilder hasn’t knocked out during his pro career. Wilder defeated Stiverne by 12-round unanimous decision to win the WBC title in January 2015 in Las Vegas.
Showtime also will air a 10-round welterweight bout between former IBF 147-pound champion Shawn Porter (27-2-1, 17 KOs) and Adrian Granados (18-5-2, 12 KOs). The tripleheader will start with Kazakhstan’s Sergey Lipinets (12-0, 10 KOs) and Japan’s Akihiro Kondo (29-6-1, 16 KOs) in a 12-round, 140-pound fight for the vacant IBF junior welterweight title.
The November 4 undercard will include the return of Long Island light heavyweight Sean Monaghan as well. Monaghan (28-1, 17 KOs) will try to bounce back from a second-round technical knockout loss to Staten Island’s Marcus Browne (20-0, 15 KOs) in his last fight, July 15 in Uniondale, New York.
Also on the November 4 undercard, Brooklyn’s Amanda Serrano (33-1-1, 25 KOs) is set to meet Marylin Hernandez (26-10, 17 KOs), of the Dominican Republic. -

One last thing to show how much white ppl dislike Floyd
Background of this story
Floyd and Conor both have instagrams right?
Floyd had more followers until recently after that fight Conor beat him by a couple thousand
Anyways that Vegas shooting happens right
Both Floyd and Conor make statements about their condolences to the victims
Both post around the same time
Floyd about 2 days after Conor
Floyd has as of now 290,000 likes for his post
Conor got 1.1 million likes
? Floyd lives in Vegas and has generated billions for that city
He even feeds the homeless
Yet you have an FOREIGNER from across the water come over
Talk wild ? just like Floyd
Flashy and Flamboyant
Only difference is their skin
Yet this ? gets more love about a post on Vegas when Floyd lives there and gives back?
Amazing -

This might actually be a pretty good fight. Who yall got cause Easter with his height and length could present a some good challenges for Garcia.
Report: Robert Easter the Favorite to Fight Mikey Garcia Next
Mikey Garcia could be headed toward a lightweight championship unification fight next.
No, not that one.
Garcia revealed in a series of Tweets on Monday that he isn’t willing to sign a long-term promotional contract with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions to land a fight against WBA 135-pound champion Jorge Linares. De La Hoya’s company promotes Venezuela’s Linares (43-3, 27 KOs).
That could lead Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs), the WBC lightweight champion, to battle unbeaten IBF lightweight champ Robert Easter Jr. The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday night that Easter is considered the favorite to land a fight against Garcia either December 16 or on an undisclosed date in January.
The undefeated Easter has made two defenses of the IBF 135-pound championship he won by beating Ghana’s Richard Commey (25-2, 22 KOs) by split decision in their 12-rounder 13 months ago in Reading, Pennsylvania. The 26-year-old Easter (20-0, 14 KOs) most recently beat Russia’s Denis Shafikov (38-3-1, 20 KOs) by 12-round unanimous decision June 30 in Toledo, Ohio, Easter’s hometown.
Easter’s recent fights have been promoted by Adrien Broner’s company, About Billions Promotions.
Cincinnati’s Broner lost a 12-round unanimous decision to Garcia on July 29 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Garcia, 29, moved up from 135 pounds to 140 to battle Broner (33-3, 24 KOs, 1 NC) in what was the biggest fight of Garcia’s career.
Garcia was willing to move up two more weight classes to challenge Miguel Cotto in what’s being billed as the final fight of the Puerto Rican icon’s career December 2 at Madison Square Garden. That also would’ve required the Oxnard, California, native to sign a long-term deal with Golden Boy Promotions, thus he turned it down.
Cotto (41-5, 33 KOs) instead will face welterweight contender Sadam Ali (25-1, 14 KOs) that night in a 12-round fight for Cotto’s WBO super welterweight title.
