Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the undefeated pound-for-pound king of boxing. He makes his fortune standing toe-to-toe in a boxing ring staring down men who try harder to bloody his face than any other man in the sport, so he must not fear anything right?
Wrong. Apparently "Money" May has a soft spot for his children and does not want them to see him swearing on Showtime's All Access, a four-part documentary of he and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's training camps leading up to their September 14th clash.
"I'm going to go home and tell my kids, you know, 'This is my job and there's certain language that I use when I'm on All Access. That doesn't mean the language is right. But in the long run, you'll see what your father meant by entertainment,'" Mayweather said.
HBO's 24/7 series was partly Mayweather's creation back in 2007, leading up to his megafight with Oscar De La Hoya that proved to be the springboard to his now-legendary ability to make millions upon millions every time he steps in the ring.
Mayweather changed his identity from "Pretty Boy" Floyd, to "Money" Mayweather on these short series, and his persona hasn't changed an iota since moving to Showtime. Part of his appeal on these shows is his salty language and general disdain for opponents. That attitude, while entertaining, is not his true personality according to Mayweather.
"I'm not going to go home and talk to my kids like I talk to my opponent. I'm going to tell them what's right and what's wrong. I let them know that you're only human, and as of right now, while you're under my roof, you're not going to use any foul language, any bad language, and your father don't mean to use that kind of language. But it's no different than if I had a role in a movie, something similar to that."
