Why do people hate Floyd Mayweathers?

[THe TRiNiTY]

I don't hate him because he's black, "cool", rich or great. I hate him because he's a jackass. Put that up as an option, and I'll vote.

i just hate his style and his mouth outside the ring

Again; Outside the ring has what to do with inside the ring? I mean, on a personal level anyway. Nothing.


He'd probably not like a lot of people, but they would not know it. Floyd is one of the mose humble and respectful men I have met.


I remember when I used to work for Hyatt before going into business for myself. Hyatt here is rated a 4-star hotel, so it's where many celebs stay.

Anyway, in 2005 he and his entourage were at the hotel. Late in the evening, and this was my first week working for the hotel, his entourage (some of them) began to act like maniacs, throwing water balloons into the arcade, racing inside of the arcade etc. Very childish and even more disturbing. Initially, I myself went to the third and fourth floors of the arcade to initiate calm and put an end to the behavior. I was merely hit on and rebuffed, taken lightly based solely on the fact that I'm a woman. I returned back to the front desk and after a while, I sent security to stop the madness since I was not taken seriously. Floyd was not a part of the antics.


Anyway, the next morning Floyd himself came to me and my co-worker who had dealt with the bevahior as well and respectfully and humbly asked if we would forgive him for not stopping the madness himself. He explained that he was a sleep and not aware, but that if any of them were disrespectful to us as women or if we felt as if we were treated inappropriately, he was sorry. He told us he had dealt with the men responsible and that he himself would never knowingly ignore my attempts to restore order in the place I am working.


He said some other things, but the point is that he was very kind and very sorry about behavior that those accompanying him exhibited. I do not think he is a jerk or a moron. I think after realizing so many people "hate" you for whatever reason, naturally you become defensive.

But, based on some of the things he said to us personally, no one wants to be hated. Not even him.

No i dont hate PBF but i do have issues with the guy. He fought good fighters to get people to respect him as a boxer and he now enjoys the reputation of being the best on the planet.
Once he got the rep as the best on the planet, he hasnt done much to solidify that rep people gave him. There are a ton of boxers who he should be trying to beat to justify his claims he is the best. Better than the boxers he has beaten in the first place to get the rep he has now. Better than the Hernandez, Castillos, Corrrales of this world.

Floyd does say some ****** **** every now and then!!! He is a great boxer!!! He is one of my favs but he is dreaming when he talks about being better then SSR!!! Plus he isnt even as good as Roy!!! If he just fought and didnt talk he would be a legend!!!

[FUMIN 88]

the options for this poll are pathetic first off all i dont hate PBF but i do think he is an irritating lil jerk.

do i think this because he is black no that does not interest me.

do i think this because hes not a mexican hero errr no couldnt give a ****.

maybe because hes not a great white hope no not that

is it because hes cool no because hes not!

or weight its because no one can beat him by that do you mean past there prime fighters cant beat him?

no no no. i simply dislike him because A) hes boaring B) he compared himself to SRR C) more **** come out of his mouth than his ass

so maybe you should have but atleast one of those reasons in the poll?

Re: Floyd Mayweather

...more **** comes out of his mouth than his ass

Oh, I like that one! Try this one on for size (not original, but to the point): He's so full of ****, even his eyes are brown...

[TheEvilSaint]

hes a boring dollar fighter. on top of that, hes such an ungrateful and selfish prick.

[beauty]

Ungrateful by whose standards? It certainly seems everyone here has decided to play judge, jury and exectioner regarding Floyd when NONE of us really know anything about him. All people are a sum total of their experiences and none of us are privy to the life he lived, with the exception of what he divulges, prior to being in the spotlight that would deem it acceptible to have severe dislike on any level. I think more people need to be honest about why "They don't like someone they don't know". While I like to think I am somewhat objective about him and most others, I do think it's overdone the hatred that is thrown his way when none of us knows the man personally.

one word to describe Mayweather: BORING
