Floyd Mayweather Snr : Gets sucker punched in spar session

[jaywillo1983]

I watched the original clip on this post an thought the guy deserved a severe beating, but then when ive watched other videos posted on this discussion its so plain clear to see this dude is in a severe stage of mental illness.

My dads side of my family have a history of mental illness, and it is probably the worst illness there is on the planet, it can destroy the person thats suffering, destroy there family, and the guy is dangerous to anyone else out there. He should never of been allowed anywere near the gym, and anyone who has watched the video on him being exposed and still think he deserved a beating is a heartless bastard.

I just hope this kid is now receiving the help he needs right now, rather than people making a mockery of him.

Yes it is indeed true he is mentally ill,i think they invited him because "he`s so tough" just to mock him.i think his family got him in to boxing to help his illness and it just went on from there.

That Zelenoff isnt a bad guy but like other people have mentioned he's mentally ill and getting taken advantage of to an extent. He genuinely believes he's the second coming of sugar Ray Robinson or something ha.

I agree there mate.

This is another quite disturbing clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4xLUD38 ... re=related

I've gone from thinking the guy was having us all on, or just a bit of a moron, to actually realising he's mentally ill. He needs help before he gets hurt.

It doesn't appear like he's going to get that help anytime soon.

Same here, when I first watched the clip I thought it was some divvy acting the goat but it is clear that it is more serious than that.

There are people out there taking advantage of this lad - I mean, you can't just walk into a gym and spar Mayweather snr with people recording it - what were their intentions ?

I think your right, its fishy to say the least.

Watching many of his video's, i think this guys about a day away from getting brutally hurt. He's going to pick a fight with the wrong person/people and end up paying the price for it, and not with just a black eye. I'm surprised its not happened already. I cant understand why the guys Dad seems to be aiding him in all of this.

Does anyone know if this guys making money from his YouTube videos. I remember hearing somewhere that YouTube, through advertisements shown during you videos, can pay cash to the uploader. The more hits your video gets, the more cash you earn. I really dont know anything about how it works, but i'm wondering if thats part of the reason why this guy posts so many clips on YouTube?

That only happens to youtube partners. i think his family help out to try to make him over come his ill state.
as someone else pointed out why would he be in a gym with floyd sr if it wasn`t for laughs
