Floyd is completely tired of boxing guys
He's over it in the same way Andre 3000 is over rap except for Floyd work ethic won't allow him to not give his all.
as far as the promotion, he knows he doesn't have to sell the fight. It sells itself. Even the all access leading to this fight has been pretty trash.....to be honest I miss it. 24/7 Floyd mayweather used to be some of the most entertaining stuff on television....
these articles sum it up....

I think Manny can put Floyd in trouble early on; perhaps even give him his first knock down.
No matter how much you prepare for a fighter, you can't get a sense of how fast their hand speed is or how hard they hit until you get in the ring with them. Most of Manny's opponents after the 1st round soon realize that his foot speed is a lot better and hand speed is a lot quicker than they anticipated. Beyond that you also have to deal with the fact that he is throwing punches in bunches, and from different angles.
Floyd being a counter-puncher and relying on his timing and instincts will take a few rounds to figure Pacquiao out. Before that I think he might get hurt, but ultimately regain his composure by the 4th and 5th rounds, and begin to dominate the fight by the 6th round (but possibly being behind on the cards). From there I would give him the advantage as he gets his timing and uses his jab and wingspan to tag Pacquaio as he comes in. I can see him knocking a frustrated Pacquiao out late a la Ricky Hatton.

I don't know why people are saying Floyd is nervous, I just think he is focused and people are thrown off because he is not acting like 'Money'
I'm reading around and word is Tyson was a little agitated at the pressor, looking to rush the stage?
Lets Go Champ
Just the same shyt as the first press conf. They should have let the fans in brehsHopefully, they don't do the same shyt when come to the weight in. LET THE FANS IN MAN!
Man you know what it is, the agenda has been set, fans are getting no love

Like he said in Episode 3, he is dammed if he is flashy and cocky and he is dammed if he is focused and humble
The best explanation is what they said on that all access. Floyd acts a damn fool when he has to sell the fight..
this fight was sold before it was made.

Floyd knows he doesn't have to sell this fights like his others.. The media was probably expected his antics and trash talk.
