Hopkins sticks out like a SORE thumb when the GBP execs/partners are on stage doesn't he...Its like when you see a group of pretty women and they always have the 1 ugly one along....Mayweather at GBP would be like "The Kid in a candy store" routine...Soo many fighters to boss around...Soo many chances to act like an ass on camera....He would look at the whole talent list as nothing but his personal undercard fighters with his ego...Roger would be VP of imaging....Floyd Sr would be in the lobby doing his best washed up Pimp holding on to my sone for even the slightest of Scraps routine.....Inside of 2 years the company would be filing Chapter 11 and Floyd would reenter negotiations with Pacquiao LOL, funny post, Daxx. Yeah, when I see Hopkins in at those GBP Events, I always have to laugh because even in a $2000 Suit, you can still pick out the dumbest guy in the Room ;D i would call Hopkins many things, but stupid is not one of them

Daxx,Mayweather is going to self explode its like the Mike Tyson story all over again they cannot handel the wealth and the power it brings to them.They surround themselfs with yes men that keep boosting there ego`s,thinking they are above the conduct of normal people like us.If we had the Millions he has at the moment i think most of us would be arrogant to a certain extent,people sucking up to us on a daily basis fuelling are ego`s.But we live in the real world,and his exploits disgust most people in the sport of boxing. His racist slur towards Pacquiao was a disgrace,and it will cost him dearly in sponsership deals which earns him a fortune.As a boxer i admire his skills but as a man i think he sucks bigtime but his day of reckoning will come as it doe`s to all of us in the end. Mayweathers story will be worse then Tysona...Tyson in all honesty did not understand how to manage money and had zero people looking out for his best interest he winged it as he went along....Excuse no but still the man knew not what he was doing....Floyd is no idiot he has a family of fightersw and has had great advisors around him mostly but he CHOOSES to act the way he does....So that make it sad because he is forever trying to be what he is not....Jeff Mayweather summed it up best when he said "I don't know why Floyd acts like this and I don't know why Floysd is always trying to portray a tough guy from the streets...He was raised with some difficult things around him but he was raised primarily with his Grandmother in a middle class enviorment he never wanted for anything and he was taught how to behave, he was not a kid running the streets or hanging out with thugs, there is no reason for his behavior"..... Jeff came out with that after Floyd was doing his I am a gangster thing doing youtube videos at 1 am in his pajamas and a vest acting as if he was with his crew flashing money

As far as I know..he has millions and has always protected his money. I know he has made quite abit of money over the past five years.. If he has not been wise with his money and is close to being broke, I stand corrected

If he has not been wise with his money and is close to being broke, I stand corrected Daxxy C Where did the C come from?..... That money was made with GBP not to his own doing....And I thank you for adding in the other things I left out about Hopkins.... I just do not like the guy anymore...He is bad for boxing...He is not a good rep of the sport due to his attitude problem, he is not a guy that will direct a young fighter in the proper direction...The fact he insist on still fighting and makes the bouts plain old painful to watch due to antics etc....I was once a Hopkins fan but after he lost to Taylor his who attitude changed....He jumped to LHW and he seemed a bit of the old Bernard but now all he does is act like a tool and whine in the ring....He is an Idiot!!! We will have to agree to disagree Dave

If he has not been wise with his money and is close to being broke, I stand corrected Davema- I was wondering where you were going in defending BHOP's intelligence, but I think I see now. Yes, he has Ring Intelligence that's among the best, and yes he's done a great job of watching his money, better than a whole lot of fighters who have a whole more on the ball in terms of natural smarts. But is that not just Ring instincts and also being Cheap? If Cheap is smart, like when he threw Demetrius Hopkins out of his apartment for being 3 or 4 days late with the Rent, then I'll give you that and he's being SMART with his money. He's not flashing his money around, and being foolishly like Floyd, and that IS Smart, but I think it's just learned behavior he picked up during those five years in the joint. You DON'T flash stuff around or trust anybody, so I think it's just learned behavior with him that he's kept to heart.
