Mayweather: Americans don't support their own

[TimothyQ]

Americans support Americans they like or find entertaining. NOT just any American. Floyd positioned himself as the Villain and he's gonna act surprised that people don't like him? Come on, man!

Fact is that for the most part Americans want to see Americans do well. It's why the heavyweight division is **** right now and very talented foreigners in the NBA will never reach Kobe, Lebron, Iverson, Shaq levels... ever. Manny crossed over. It's a very rare situation.

You know what's even more rare? That a talent like Floyd can be so grating and involved in so many boring fights that Americans reject him. All he cares about is money anyway so why's he worried about support at this stage in the game?

(For the record, I don't think he was boring the other night. He was ****ing fantastic for the first time in years and I appreciate that he finally gave the public something to be impressed about in his welterweight career.)

I think he has a valid point. If he were a UK fighter he'd be loved like no other.

If he was a uk fighter he will be disowned by his own people for being an arrogant prick. LOL. how will expect someone will support you when you always saying that "i don't care for the fans, they don't pay my bills. I only fight for floyd mayweather." etc... And always keep talking about the money you made. lol.

I think Americans support plenty of fighters, they just don't support Floyd enough to make his ego feel satisfied.

Maybe if he wasn't an arrogent douche bag maybe more Americans would be inclined to support him.

[BOLLOCKS]

I support Floyd, but I don't believe in bias Nationalism.

[baddest]

Americans have too many athletes in different sports to back. If Floyd came out of a small country he would be beloved.

This.

We have the privilege of being blessed with the best athletes on the planet, we can't support them all so we choose who we like. In Boxing, the American public likes fighters that fight, not pure boxers. We like the SRR, SRL, Ali's, Frazier's, etc. not the whitaker's & mayweathers

[EDOMITESLAYER]

he had plenty of support last saturday. I dunno what he's cryin about.

HE'S TALKING ABOUT ACTUALY SUPPORT, WE know alot of people love him here, but look at ricky hattons fans. Not even in the same league as mayweather, but they love hatton, even after he lost! Look at manny, his fans in the philipines love him, and support him 100% But mayweather just like ali fought in the olympics, and his country doesnt support him like they would say if he was white. Its a race thing, look at the klitschos, no one in tehir country is harping about david haye knocking either of them out.


MAYWEATHER TOLD YA'LL ONCE, IF HE WAS WHITE, HE WOLD BE SECOND ONLY TO GOD.

But aint americans arrogant douche bags themselves? I mean honestly, if I asked you whos got the best country you would say america even though the money is worthless, and people are unemployed living in ****in tents, the children are dumb, they have teh bigegst health crisis (many people being fat). AND I SEE THIS AND I LIVE IN AMERICA.

HELL AMERICA IS BASED OFF OF CAPITALISM (TURNING SOCIALIST) AND POLICES TEH WHOLE DAMN WORLD BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPERIOR AS THEY SAY MILITARILY. DROPPIN' BOMBS ON MOTHA****AS WITH NO TANKS, ARE EVEN HAND GRENADES.

AMERICA IS THE BIGGEST **** STARTER AND **** TALKER.

thats america!!! When was the last time your neighbor or anyone outside of your family did anything for you without wanting something in return.

America is the most hypocritical country on the planet.

[W1LL]

I like that video were he says the Brits give him more support than his own country, lol. Then he talking about possibly having a fight over here. Think he trying to take over that Hatton gold mine to be honest lol. He does have a big fanbase over here though.

If he was a uk fighter he will be disowned by his own people for being an arrogant prick.

Just like Naz, right?
