Justin Bieber attended the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas on Saturday, and watched his good friend Floyd Mayweather win. He behaved himself at the fight–as well as beforehand, at the Hard Rock Hotel’s Rehab pool party–and good behavior isn’t something Justin Bieber hasn’t always been known for practicing.

It was during a recent interview with People magazine that Justin Bieber talked about the reason behind all this good behavior. He’s been on a recent “please forgive me tour” of sorts, trying to save his professional image from going down the proverbial toilet.

So what’s with this new behavior and is there more behind it than simply salvaging his career?

“There have been times where it has been difficult,” Justin Bieber says of behaving. “But as long as I put God and family first, I can find my way through most things. I also find it important to surround myself with people who are honest and hold me accountable for my actions–that helps a lot, too.”

The ‘Baby’ singer wants to be a good role model for his younger siblings.

“I love my brother and sister so much,” he said. “I want to help them be the best they can be and being someone they can look up to is definitely an important part of that.”

Do you suppose Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez will take notice of his recently improved behavior? She has reportedly called it quits with DJ Zedd–leaving the door wide open for Justin Bieber to make yet one more move to win her affections.

Can Justin Bieber salvage his reputation or will he be forever known as a trouble maker? It would certainly be nice if his younger brother and sister–as well as his young fans–could look up to him as a worthwhile role model.
