Floyd Mayweather: Inside the mind of a complete lunatic -- The Examiner

By Michael Marley, Examiner.com

He is Mister Clean. He is Mr. All Natural. His body is his temple you must know.

Like a babbling brook, Floyd Mayweather continued his raving like a certified lunatic at Tuesday's kickoff press conference in New York for his May 1 bout against Sugar Shane Mosley.

There was a staged near brawl and one reporter said Mayweather's sidekick, Laughing Lenny Ellerbe, had to take an eight count on the stage in midtown.

“Our noses touch,” Mayweather said of his confrontation with Mosley. “I don't like nothing but the ladies. I don't mind the trash talking but he grabbed my hands. I said, 'Don't put your hands on me.' I pushed him away.”

Mayweather even brought the name of Mosley's ex-wife, Jin, into the conversation.

“Maybe you and Jin should get together,” Mosley said in reference to his the woman who managed him before they got divorced.

Mayweather also continued his slime campaign against Manny Pacquiao.

“I am not chasing Manny Pacquiao, you got to realize this. He turned down $25 million to go make $6 million.

“He didn't want to take a drug test and pick up $25 million. Pacquiao was ordinary until age 25, then he became extraordinary. We all know this is not possible,” Mayweather said.

Floyd also criticized Mosley for being a vice president of Golden Boy Promotions.

“He fought Oscar twice, now he works for Oscar,” Mayweather said. “But only I make $40 million in 30 minutes. I gave 30 years of my life to my sport, to boxing.”

“All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather. Oscar, Zab Judah and now Mosley..they all get their biggest paydays against Mayweather.”

Mayweather even gave nutrition tips, recommending baked fish and chicken, saying that he is “all natural” and that such a strict diet can extend a person's life for 10 years. I like to keep my body in top shape, in tiptop condition.”

And the ego trip continues...
