You people are BLIND!!!!!!

no one hates him for being an *******, its for not backing it up in the ring or even attempting to when it is clear he could do so with little difficulty.

I think a lot of people dislike him for his attitude alone. Yet like watching him fight and respect his skills.

Personally i dont mind the way he fights, sure it isnt always exciting, and he plays it safe often, yet his focus, and movement are sublime.

In the case of the Baldomire fight, he fought well, yet he couldnt take the slightest criticism from Merchant. His outburst tainted his win, and i for one found it ugly.

Good post dios! You see the side of Maywether many don't. He really is a good guy in his heart and i don't blame him one bit for acting the way he does to sell tickets. You would have to be crazy not to be a Mayweather fan.


I take back everything i ever said about Mayweather!

LMAORTFTROALM, This is quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever read on this board.

[Parody]

because Floyd has spent a whole career avoiding really dangerous fighters IMO. Maybe Hatton is his first miscalculation. I didn't think so earlier, but I'm starting to wonder.

So what would you say once he beats Hatton? Then people will say Cotto, Mosley, etc. It wont really matter who floyd beats, the more fighters he does, the more popular he becomes, the more popular, the more hate will grow. Everyone wants to see him lose.

Mayweather acts like an ****** to sell fights!! Why do so many people go by what Mayweather does in the Confrence Weigh-In and Intreview? This isn't the real Mayweather he puts this act to sell fights. Lets say I'm just an average fighter and am looking to fight the best fighters out there!! what type of false personality will I bring??

A. I'll be myself
B. Be a nice guy!! Complent the fighter and tell many to buy this fight because its gonna be a great fight Or
C. Be an ******! Talk Trash!! Piss off your opponent and tell him how much he suxs.

I rather do C. Why?!! Because that pisses off the fans! Fans will tune in because they'd wana see my ass get kicked. TRANSLATION: This will sell the fight.

Many people forget what type of guy Mayweather is. Mayweather has done alot for the community and has helped alot of people. So for all you people that give him hate and buy fights to see him lose! Your only putting money in his pocket. Remember what the doctor said in 24/7?! He said that he didn't like hearing negative things about Mayweather because this isn't Mayweather.
So people do a little research and find out who the real Mayweather is because I've done mine and he's a great person.

I hear you primo, you make alot of sense, just that It be nice to see a "REAL" genuine giving back to the community like opening up a new school, gym, or a homeless shelter, than just give out Turkeys on Thanksgiving Day. Every body does that, but when you really give back to the community, your doing something to help others help themselves.....and not to look good on "hand outs". If Mayweather were to "Teach" others to fish, instead of "eat-for-a-day"...they'd eat for a life time. Olle, I have NEVER said anything negative about Mayweather, just who I would like to see him fight. But with all that dough....open up some schools like De La Hoya...that's giving back to the community! WORD!

I'd rather wach any Cory spinks fight cuz he isn't a complete ******* in the public eye. Swwet Pea was a defensive fighter but he was 10x more entertaining to watch than PBF. I'd only spend $50 on him t see him get ktfo.

[El Dominicano]

LOL

So......Mayweather purposefully pisses off people to sell his fights.
He acts like a arrogant annoying person to generate controversy and get people talking about him.
He actively brings negative opinions and comments upon himself..........yet we shouldnt hate him?
We have to do research in order to see through his act, and then we will all like him???


But wouldnt that go against Floyds genius plan to promote his fights???

Im saying, isnt all the 'hating' on Floyd actually Floyds own doing?
Its what he wants isnt it.


So why the **** should anyone have to do research?

Floyds 'bad guy' character, genuine or not, works well for him, its perfect against 'nice guy' Oscar or Hatton, and I for one enjoy hating him.

So whats the problem?

What I am trying to say is that most people hate him because of his false personality to sell fights. Some people seriously think that is how FLOYD is. C'mon people please!! what! I bet ya think Jet-Li movie stunts are real eh?? Thats no diffrent from what I am talking about.

Actually he does a lot more than just hand out turkeys. Every year he passes out coats, hats, scarfs, gloves, and school supplies for kids. Along with all the other things his charity foundation does.

Not at the same level of success and not in recent memory.

I prime Tito had more success and was more popular than Floyd. Tito's determination to move up and face the best is what brought him down, but i cant knock him for that. Floyd's resume aint got **** on Tito's.

[kayjay]

Shut the **** up about this already

[tredh]

Why does PBF get all the blame for certain fights not happening? Mosley turned him down twice yet you still have people claiming PBF ducked Mosley. Years ago Hatton turned him down for various reasons yet people still claim PBF ducked Hatton at 140. Arum didn't want Cotto to fight PBF a few years ago so how did he duck Cotto. Please don't bring up Margarito. It takes two people to negotiate so all the blame for every fight not happening can't be placed on PBF.
