Floyd Mayweather Jr. is easily the most controversial athlete in sports today. Five years ago, HBO created the 24/7 series and as Money May's fame has grown, so has the show's ratings. He's taken trash talking to another level, he's called himself the GOAT, and he's played around with ridiculous amounts of money. If this isn't entertainment, we don't know what is. Complex presents: Floyd Mayweather Jr's Best 24/7 Moments.

15. Easter Revelation

Season: Mayweather vs. Cotto
Quote: "I don't fucking understand Easter because rabbits don't lay eggs. You ain't never thought about that did you?"
Every now and then Mayweather will hit us with an extremely random gem. In this clip Floyd has a great revelation about Easter and makes an oh so necessary trip to El Pollo Loco. Sidebar: Cold ass wings will get your ass knocked out.

14. All About the Money

Season: Mayweather vs. Mosley
Quote: "Man you dumb motherfucker, you almost 40 years old, you better be fighting for a check!"
Once Mayweather saw that Mosley wasn't fighting for the loot—the thing Floyd is always about—he had to go in on him. Floyd also makes sure his 24/7 mic is on pre-rant like the true professional he is. #heneedshisowntvshow

13. And...This Is a "Sparring" Session?

Season: Mayweather vs. Marquez
Quote: "You know what they call that where I'm from? They call that an ass whooping." -Roger Mayweather
Throughout his seasons of 24/7 one thing you never see from Money Mayweather is his sparring sessions. He does this to keep his strategies for particular opponents secret. The shape his partners are left in tell the whole story though. The poor fell in this clip looks like he got jumped for his Concords.

12. Juan "Pee Pee Mouth" Marquez

Season: Mayweather vs. Marquez
Quote: "Pee pee mouth, Marquez, that's who I'm fighting."
Marquez probably regrets the day he revealed to the world that he drinks his own urine. As soon as Floyd and his friends and family saw the footage, his alter ego Money Mayweather was released and expletives and jokes ensued. He also got his kids to recognize Marquez as "Pee Pee Mouth" which is just adorable. He may be a beast in the ring but he's a five year old at heart.

11. Momma's Boy

Season: Mayweather vs. Hatton
Quote: "No mom, this is 24/7, you can tell him he gon' get that ass tapped."
We all know about his not so great relationship with his father Floyd Sr., but Floyd Jr. loves him some Deborah Sinclair. Nothing like family bonding...and talking about who's going to "get that ass tapped" at the same time. Ayo!

10. Dominating for 16 Years

Season: Mayweather vs. Ortiz
Quote: "Who works harder than me? Fuck fighters! No athlete works hard than me!"
To kick off the Mayweather vs. Ortiz season, Pretty Boy Floyd hits the audience with boastful facts about his domination as an athlete. We really can't think of another athlete that's dominated a sport for 16 years without a loss. We also really can't think of an athlete with that much success dodging a matchup so much. Zing! We kid. There's actually a history of dodging on both sides.

9. Gift For Cotto

Season: Mayweather vs. Cotto
Quote: "Get him something that smells good, so that he can put it on when he gets in the bed with his friend."
During the current season of 24/7 with Cotto, Floyd learned that Cotto sleeps in the same bed of one of his male assistants. While out shopping with the Money team and 50 Cent, Floyd see's a Bath and Body Works and instantly thinks of his opponent. You don't give Mayweather that kind of ammo Cotto. Though, to be honest, Miguel could say something about all the time Mayweather and Fif spend together. #justsayin'

8. Greatest Boxer Ever?

Season: Mayweather vs. Mosley
Quote: "Yup, I'm better than Muhammad Ali. Sugar Ray Robinson? Yup, I'm better than Sugar Ray Robinson."
It could either be his warrior attitude or genuine belief, but on this episode of 24/7 Floyd takes a big leap from his normal boxing bragging. He proclaims that he is better than Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson, two of the greats of the sport widely considered to be the bar others are judged by. Hmmm...maybe an intense Fight Night session could settle all this?

7. Goes In On Ortiz and De La Hoya

Season: Mayweather vs. Ortiz
Quote: "He let a man massage him and the other one wearing fishnet."
After seeing the first two episodes, Floyd voiced his beef over the coverage of Ortiz's background and the lifestyle of Oscar De La Hoya. How much does the Money Team get paid to laugh at all of Floyd's jokes again?

6. Do The Jheri Curl!

Season: Mayweather vs. Mosley
Quote: "Curling! Curling! Do the Jheri Curl!"
Who knew he could create a dance craze too? Floyd is ragging on Sugar Shane Mosley's Jheri curl-esque hairdo with his kids and comes up with a gem to entertain them and himself pre-fight. Yes, because teaching kids to make fun of others is part of Parenting 101.

5. He Is 24/7

Season: Mayweather vs. Cotto
Quote: "What would the show 24/7 be without me?!"
We can't even blame the champ on this one, nobody is trying to watch Manny Pacquiao talk about politics or his singing career.

4. Concert In The Living Room

Season: Mayweather vs. Ortiz
Quote: "We got a serious concert that we have to tend to...a concert in my living room."
Now this one went beyond boxing or even sports in general, as it was the start of the Fabulous and Ray-J beef that lead to the eventual "altercation." Ray-J actually kind of killed it and we're glad he's showing this side instead of his alter ego that threatens other people with rape. Also, how did Jackie Long end up on the Money Team? Don't you have to have money?

3. Jailhouse Threats

Season: Mayweather vs. De La Hoya
Quote: "I'mma beat you and I'mma make you call me pretty!"
Is this an episode of 24/7 or an episode of Oz? Based on the dialogue we'd have to argue the latter.

2. Money On Line 1

Season: Mayweather vs. Ortiz
Quote: "Yeah, I seen my daddy on 24/7, yeah, he was hatin'."
When your best friend is 50 cent and you're both stupid paid, it's hard not to do things like this and the above clip. Floyd gets cool points for answering a call on his other line and coming up with a creative way to check if the phones were tapped. Should have never gave these dudes money...we like these guys.

1. Jr. vs. Sr.

Season: Mayweather vs. Ortiz
Quote: "You couldn't fight worth shit, you wasn't nothing but a motherfuckin' cab driver. Get the fuck out my gym!"
Father and son beefs aren't uncommon in sports today, but rarely do you see a disagreement get this intense. This was hard to forget during the Victor Ortiz season as Floyd Sr. and Floyd Jr. got into it and nearly came to blows. Just think, that the whole argument started off of Floyd Jr. saying his female fighter would beat Floyd Jr.'s. Wonder what would happen if it was about say, Floyd Sr. being a horrible father. You're welcome HBO.
