No blueprint on how to figure out Mayweather


LAS VEGAS – It’s hard to keep up with Floyd Mayweather Jr., a man of many moves and multiple moods. Thirty-nine opponents have tried and failed in his 13 years without a defeat. Not much changed Wednesday.

This time, it was the graceful Mayweather, who trashed the usual insults, praised Juan Manuel Marquez, shook hands with rival trainer Nacho Beristain and worried whether he would have enough time to pick up his daughter from school.

“There’s a blueprint on how to beat Marquez,’’ Mayweather said after the formalities at a news conference for his comeback Saturday night at the MGM Grand. “There’s not a blueprint on how to beat Mayweather.’’

There’s no way to predict what he will do or how he will behave either. The diplomatic, polite demeanor stood in sharp contrast to anger Mayweather expressed Tuesday after he and Marquez staged their official arrival at a casino built on a Hollywood theme. That’s when Mayweather said that his public portrayal was unfair because of racism.

In comments posted by ESPN, Mayweather said: “If you’re rich, you’re a rich n—–. If you’re poor, you’re a poor n—-. If you’re smart, you’re a smart n—–. At the end of the day, they still look at me as a n—–.”

Mayweather also said: “There’s nothing like being young, black and rich. But there are certain things you think about. If Floyd Mayweather was white, I’d be the biggest athlete in America. The biggest, the biggest. I know that for a fact.”

No telling what Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan think about Mayweather’s comments. But they might be surprised to hear that Mayweather thinks they’re white.

The comments aren’t exactly new either. Mayweather has said some of the same things over the course of his career. Just as quickly, he also has changed the subject and direction with the easy-going charm that suddenly surfaced at Wednesday’s news conference.

Faster than you can say helter-skelter, Mayweather can outrage and disarm. All this footwork on the high wire is a perilous dance. Yet, Mayweather seems to have kept his balance, even amid continuing reports that seem to add up to his only loss: Financial.

The latest salvo indicating deepening debt was unleashed a couple of days ago in an Associated Press report that said a Las Vegas bank is suing Mayweather $167,000 for an unpaid loan on a car, a Mercedes, said to be worth $528,000.

There have been flurry of denials, including one from Mayweather advisor Leonard Ellerbe, who said the car has been sold and the story is inaccurate. But the story is just the latest in what looks like a lot of smoke from a building fire. It includes a reported Internal Revenue Service lien for $6.17 on taxes not paid in 2007 when Mayweather collected more – maybe a lot more – than $20 million for just one fight, a victory over Oscar De La Hoya.

Further fuel on the susp ected fire was evident Wednesday with news that the Nevada State Athletic Commission apparently has yet to receive a copy of Mayweather’s contract. Marquez will collect $2 million, according to commission records. But Mayweather’s purse has yet to be disclosed, perhaps because the IRS and other creditors want their share.

Mayweather has repeatedly denied the stories. He simply sidestepped the issue Wednesday.
“My financial business, that’s personal,’’ said Mayweather, who also said stories about a healing relationship with his dad, trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr, were also private.

But it is tough to keep a secret during the internet age and it might be impossible for a Mayweather in any age. Floyd Sr. and Floyd Jr. talk the way some people Twitter. Even uncle and trainer Roger Mayweather couldn’t wait to speak during Wednesday news conference. Ellerbe said there are a lot of great trainers. But, an agitated Roger seemed to say, there can be only one.

“You got my blood pressure up,’’ Roger yelled.

His nephew laughed. But that was Wednesday. Today is another day and perhaps another Mayweather.
