I deserve this rematch. I want to thank Floyd Mayweather for giving me this opportunity.
What happened to George Floyd is an abomination. Four Minneapolis policemen used excessive force to cause his death in what appears to be a tragically cavalier fashion. All four officers involved should be held fully accountable and incarcerated for their crimes.
I could never leave Las Vegas. I can’t really afford New York or Los Angeles. I love this town. We don’t have that much. We have the Runnin’ Rebels and boxer Floyd Mayweather. When Mayweather fights, it’s good for the whole city. It’s like the Super Bowl out here.
When I grew up, my dad listened to all that stuff – Neil Young. Floyd. The Doors. The Beatles. Stones. So even now, to this day, it’s the music I listen to a lot of the time.
I think the WWE is a great place for professional athletes. Floyd Mayweather did it. Mike Tyson has done it. Even Donald Trump has appeared in the ring.
Pink Floyd is like a marriage that’s on a permanent trial separation.
Raymond Floyd. The man knows how to control situations. He was experienced. He didn’t let me get overly excited; he kept me in check. It allowed me to free myself up, and I played really well with him.
The only thing more embellished than Floyd Mayweather’s pay-per-view buys is Floyd Mayweather’s net worth. But his spending habits are real.
Pink Floyd, the most successful progressive rock band of all time, have stood the test of time because the emphasis was always on melody and atmosphere.
The first time I performed onstage was at church. Then I formed a rock cover band – Pink Floyd and Joan Jett. We’d play at birthday parties, since it wasn’t exactly church material.
I grew up in a total Pink Floyd house.
After George Floyd’s murder, we had a conversation on our podcast where the underlying message was about being empathetic. We wanted people just to truly listen. We’re not here to point fingers or label people as racists. I’m here to tell you our experiences and how we feel.
I’m telling you, Amir Khan gives Floyd Mayweather problems.
I don’t mind getting beaten by Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr and people like that, but I’d hate to go into a training camp with my heart not fully in it and risk getting beaten by somebody who shouldn’t be beating me.
Look at the better players of my era – Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd. They had pros they worked with from time to time, but out on Tour, thousands of miles from home, each of them learned to be his own best coach. I think Tiger can do the same.
As teenagers, we used to listen to entire Rush albums, entire Pink Floyd albums and shut down the lights and it was great.
When punk came along, I found my generation’s music. I grew up listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, ’cause that was what got played in the house. But when I first saw the Stranglers, I thought, ‘This is it.’
The biggest surprise to people is that I sang background on Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ album.
I understand the outrage because it seems the list continues to grow: Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd. The injustices continue to mount and nothing seems to be changing.
I have that one-punch KO power in both hands but I won’t only be going for the head. Most of Floyd’s opponents have done that but his defence is so good.
The failure of both Congress and state legislatures to respond to the murder of George Floyd with any meaningful action reminds us that our nation’s attempts at reform can often amount to nothing.
I went to America and beat Shawn Porter, a guy that was being called a ‘mini Mike Tyson’ and that most people were saying was going to take over from Floyd Mayweather. I went to his backyard and ripped his title off him.
Every day, I hear a song and I think, ‘This would be great to cover on Glee.’ I like Led Zeppelin, of course, and Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains.
After a lifetime of listening to every Floyd album pretty much all the time – they’re etched – ‘Animals’ is the one I can listen to again and again.
The only thing that can blow away the Michael Jordan sad face meme, is the Floyd Mayweather knockout meme. If Floyd Mayweather got knocked out – knocked out to the point where he is ice cold on the ground – I think that’s the one meme that can just overwhelm the whole Jordan issue.
Floyd Thompson, a white man, desegregated NASA. Period.
The reason I got into music was obviously because of bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd, things like that.
I am a big Pink Floyd fan. That is where a lot of the concept lyrics come from.
Floyd has showed me that he’s set up with real estate, businesses, and investments.
We need to statutize what is permissible and what is not permissible. If a law enforcement agent uses a clearly unapproved technique like the knee that was on the neck of George Floyd for over eight minutes, no law enforcement agent thinks that that’s right and that officer should be held accountable.
It turns out, if you go 1,000 feet down in the ocean, it’s really dark, and the animals are really strange, but if you put on some Pink Floyd, it’s fantastic.
My absolute favorite movie of all time is Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall.’ Nothing compares to it. I have seen it thousands of times and still watch it every few weeks.
Just a look at the face of the officer kneeling on George Floyd’s neck is indicative of the cause behind what he was doing. His face showed no concern.
Pink Floyd are one of a handful of bands I’ve listened to a lot and whose concerts I’ve been to. I love the experience. I don’t dance; I just jig up and down like everybody else.
We must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act in order to reform the system that led to the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Adam Toledo, and too many more.
Floyd Mayweather said it, perfect boxing career, undefeated, but he says that in life there’s balance. He might have the perfect boxing career, but elsewhere there’s loss.
When people are watching the George Floyd video, that could have been me. I think people are just afraid that the people who are supposed to be protecting and serving you are against you.
If this country can demand justice for someone like George Floyd, then we can certainly demand justice for Ashli Babbitt.
Does Tiger Woods tee off at 8 A.M. when he’s going to win a Masters? Does Floyd Mayweather fight the first fight of the night? No, he’s the main event, right? So the ‘Stros need to be playing on prime-time television.
I like expansive stuff that has a lot of space in it, like some of the early Pink Floyd albums.
RIP to George Floyd and condolences to the whole family.
For those that don’t know much about ‘American Idiot’ or Green Day, just know that it’s my generation’s The Who’s ‘Tommy’ or Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall.’ It was an album that really spoke to a generation. The theatrical show encapsulates that feeling and brings it to an even wider audience.
I got introduced to Western music and it inspired me. One of my favourite bands is Pink Floyd.
If you had a successful TV show, people wanted to see you live. Promoters had had practice with pop groups, and ‘Python’ achieved a similar status. We also had lots of rock star fans – George Harrison, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. Promoters saw that and liked it.
On the musical side, I always wanted to kind of carry on Pink Floyd’s sound. You know, Pink Floyd always had such an original, creative and masterful sound, but there are no new albums. My thought was that there’s a way to keep their sound alive.
God just blessed me with a talent to play basketball. If I didn’t have that talent, I possibly would’ve been that George Floyd.
‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ and ‘Wish You Were Here’ are standout tracks. ‘Comfortably Numb’ is another one. ‘High Hopes’ from ‘The Division Bell’ is one of my favorite all-time Pink Floyd tracks. ‘The Great Gig in the Sky,’ ‘Echoes,’ there’s lot of them.
I learned to play piano in a rock n’ roll context or band context from country records – you know, Floyd Cramer – and from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Stax. And none of those are keyboard records.
I look up to Floyd Mayweather, but I don’t try to be like Floyd Mayweather. He’s done great things, he’s a role model. But those who say I try to be Floyd can go kick rocks.
Where I lived, on Long Island, you had the radio stations that always played Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and AC/DC and all that. I grew up on all that stuff.
I paid attention to how Floyd Mayweather adapts.
