Why is Floyd's fanbase so small?

Just cuz all of his fans don't post on a internet forum doesn't mean he has a small fanbase....

Do you think Floyd will ever get an ovation with 1/1000th of the intensity that Hatton got? Floyd has no evident fan base. No one cheers him, no one would go out of their way to go to England to support him. His only fans seem to be like a few oddballs in boxing forums. They all came to see Hatton, they all paid to see Oscar. Seriously, how many Floyd fans would buy tickets if he fought Cintron? Floyd piggy backs by fighting big superstars with huge followings. It remains to be seen if Floyd captures Hatton's and Oscar's fans and adds them to his fanbase. I doubt it. Fighters like Tyson, Tito, Duran, Cotto, Oscar when you see them you almost get chills knowing how great they are. Fans go nuts when they see them, and they get huge cheers when they are at ringside for fights. Mayweather gets nothing even remotely close. And ten or 20 yers down the road, I don't think he;ll get it either. Fans just don't warm up to the guy for some reason. how can this thread have 166 responses? because a lot of people care about floyd.

Id say floyd has a very large fanbase, but at this point even the people who dont like him... respect him.

Considering Floyd had the brits playing the music and singing the variation of "Welcome to the Money Land" I think he have made a few more fans than you might think.

u don't have hatton's head hitting the turnbuckle...why?

rhen who is the biggest star in the sport....3 million buys in his last 2 fights on ppv...floyd is number one

Uhhh not really. Arum is one of the reasons Floyd has names like Mitchell and Brussels on his resume. And Floyds career has absolutly exploded after dropping Arum, the DLH and Hatton fights and the national exposure he has recieved goes to show that Mayweather is a better promoter than Arum. He did in 2 years what Arum couldnt do in 9. Lol, if you belive this. Im sure this is why floyd fought Castillo in an under card instead of a main event the second time around. The crowd was not there to see him. But if he had the balls to go to staples for the rematch, that would have been a big payday and main event status plus a full arena, yeah he's smart alright smart to fight and decide scared.

Floyd always called Arum "the best promtoer in boxing history" when Bob was lining up opponents like Gatti, Brussles, Etc. But when Arum tried to sneak Margarito in as Floyd's opponent, Floyd immediately bought Arum out and fired him. Steve Wonder could see the pattern here. Arum helped built Floyd into what he is now. But when Bob put Margarito on the table for a career high payday, FLoyd ran. Any why wont Floyd do business with Arum now? He could really sock it to Top Rank by bouncing his meal tickets Cotto and Margarito, which would pay him handsomely too. But Floyd is going to retire. What a pu55y Uhhh not really.

Indeed, I was thinking about the original offer that led to the buyout. That is an interesting article, and Arum is great at making it look like Floyd ducked Margarito. And it does appear that Floyd "ducked" Tony, but thats only if you believe the shit that Bob Arum says. -Arum was penalized $125000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for a 1995 bribe to get a fight sanctioned. -2007 accusations of "sucking the life out of the sport and not putting anything back in, and unethical behavior. -Arum has been accused of being racist by Robert Lee, disgraced former head of the I.B.F. Lee said: "I pin the racism charge on him because he once told me: `We will let the Blacks and the Latinos fight in the ring and we will count the money on the outside' -Goossen said it best: “It’s obvious Bob hasn’t learned one thing from his latest bag of false and inaccurate accusations..." And yet you have people like c'monmang' Believing everything Bob Arum says.... BOB ARUM IS KILLING BOXING...!!! He is a proven cheat.. He is a proven Crook He is a Proven Liar He is a bitch.... Dont believe the hype... Just look at this: Bob Arum only made Margo fight Paul Williams when the WBO made a threat to take away his title for not fighting his mandatory. So looks what happens next after Margo lose to Williams, Arum puts him in with Golden over the hill - never has been Johnson and now Arum says because of what Margo did to Johnson he is back to being a serious contender and now everyone is ducking him again. It gives boxing a bad look with promoters trying to position guys who are unworthy for title shots that they do not deserve.

Dont try to talk Logic to c'monmang', His standard of Comprehension is a level 2... Just Look at his Post History, 100 % Pure Nincompoop He is as much Relevant to conversation on boxing scene as Bob Arum is to Kobe Bryant.. "None" Everybody knows Floyd wont do business with Bob Arum except c'monmang' Good Post Man.. Oh I know, the only reason I am arguing with him is becasue I am bored. His bias and obsession with Floyd Mayweather is entertainment to me.

Bob Arum is the biggest bullshitter in the sport. Fact is, Floyd refuses to deal with Bob Arum because of their troubled history, and has never, and probably will never, fight a Bob Arum fighter. If Tony really wanted that fight he would have gotten rid of Arum and taken on another promoter, because he, and the entire world (except for you, apparently) knows Floyd refused to do business with Arum after their fallout. Do you know anything about this sport at all??? Dont try to talk Logic to c'monmang', His standard of Comprehension is a level 2... Just Look at his Post History, 100 % Pure Nincompoop He is as much Relevant to conversation on boxing scene as Bob Arum is to Kobe Bryant.. "None" Everybody knows Floyd wont do business with Bob Arum except c'monmang' Good Post Man..

Bob Arum was Floyds promoter during this time.Look at the date of the Article Nov 2005 .. And for his next two fights. So what are you talking about? :tapedshut Indeed, I was thinking about the original offer that led to the buyout. That is an interesting article, and Arum is great at making it look like Floyd ducked Margarito. And it does appear that Floyd "ducked" Tony, but thats only if you believe the shit that Bob Arum says. -Arum was penalized $125000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for a 1995 bribe to get a fight sanctioned. -2007 accusations of "sucking the life out of the sport and not putting anything back in, and unethical behavior. -Arum has been accused of being racist by Robert Lee, disgraced former head of the I.B.F.

merry christmas..now go tell Bob Arum he's a liar. if thats how you feel :cop: http://www.maxboxing.com/Kim/Kim110905.asp Bob Arum is the biggest bullshitter in the sport.

FLoyd doesnt have a large fan base, but many people WATCH him fight, because he is such a phenom. Its probably because he is cocky, arrogant, etc etc. I just find his personality to be very amusing.

man, he was offered 7mil to fight MARG. when he decided to go to WW....he was re offered 8 when Judah lost to Baldi and then once again after he fought Judah.. try and keep up :banana: I must be behind, why don't you do me a favor and show some proof of this supposed offer because I never heard anything like this

man, he was offered 7mil to fight MARG. when he decided to go to WW....he was re offered 8 when Judah lost to Baldi and then once again after he fought Judah.. try and keep up :banana: Source? Link? Or please show us the contract, I dont give a shit what Bob arum had to say and i know alot of people dont. That would be like Frank warren telling us how he offered Hatton 8million to fight Witter.

like people buying kanyes album hoping that it would retire 50, the stan wars continue. soldiers soldier on (on the net) they arent longterm supporters my homie. its not a solid consumer base like what Jay and Nas have know what I mean? But thats not what I feel the issue is. For someone with as much ability and talent as PBF has, its a shame that he doesnt have the love that should come with it. Its true that HOF records will document his greatness but the average fan isnt going to site HOF records when talking about greats, its what the people REMEMBER that creates a legend. I dont even know when JCC was inducted to the HOF, all I remember was that the vato fought his heart out.
