Would You Send Your Kid to Floyd Mayweather's Boxing Camp?

Floyd Mayweather hasn't announced his return to boxing, but he found time to run a boxing camp for kids.

If you have kids who are interested in boxing, wouldย you send them to his camp?

When I looked at theย information, the requirements for enrolling inย Mayweather's camp are the opposite of what he expects.

One of the requirements for campers from five to 18, male and female, is to "have a positive attitude towards taking instruction and learning."

Mayweatherย isn't setting an example of this rule.

His attitude toward learning is very bad, plus he won't listen to his negotiating team.

If the offer was made by Top Rank to acceptย their offer, Floyd would've done it by now.

But since he didn't, he remains a chicken who's ducking Manny Pacquiao.

Another requirement is for the kids to "show good conduct in a cooperative environment."ย 

Every time Mayweather is in public, he seems to be bragging about his money or the finer things he has.

After all, to him, it's about the money and the legacy.

Without a fight with Pacquiao, there's no legacy.

If he refuses to fight him, the other 41 wins he collected along the way mean nothing.

Proving that Mayweather can beat Pacquiao would be icing on the cake.

Can you believe that there's a waiting list if there aren't enough available slots?

Can anybody who's familiar with the camp tell me how many kids actually come to Mayweather's camp? Is it one? Is it 10 orย 20?

I can imagine a camper asking him a simple question: "Why are you ducking from Manny?"

Mayweather can post hundreds of messages on Facebook and Twitter about what he's doing at that moment.

We don't want to hear that garbage.

What we want to hear is whether or not you'll accept the challenge from Pacquiao, you coward.

What else do you call a boxer with no answer for the public?

So if you want your kid to learn about boxing, don't send them to Mayweather's camp.
