Mayweather: "This Is Country Versus Country"

[El Jesus]

this is not country verses country, floyd is trying to do that to make people back him through patriotism. and as far as im concerned what has floyd done that is patriotic for the USA, other than act like a spoiled wanna be punk thug, the way he acts, the way he sells his fights, the things he says with complete disrespect to hype himself up, it doesn't speak for me, it doesn't represent me, it doesn't speak or represent the USA, all it does is make him look like a tit and America and Americans look bad, we have a bad rep as is, floyd just adds to the negativity.

hatton represents boxing more for me, he is a class act, and it has nothing to do with color or race and it has nothing to do with good guy verses bad guy it has to do ( for me ) core principals, integrity, respect, professionalism, and representing boxing and boxing fans, i get more of that out of hatton then i think we ever will out of mayweather.

and anyone who wants to bring up that floyd fought on the Olympic team yes he did, but don't fool yourself, someone as selfish and self centered as floyd only does things for his own gain, people like that don't fight for their countries pride, only their own, it's just the icing on the cake that they can say that it was for their country and besides getting on the olympic team is something every young amateur tries to accomplish at one stage or another, which is basically just going through the motions.

mayweather is so arrogant he probably thinks that he can knockout god!!!!!
country verses country is floyd trying to force americans to be his fan in this fight, bull****.

i'm proud to be an American and I will fight and die for my country, but in this fight i'm going hatton all the way.

.......if you think floyd only fought in the olympics for selfish gain, thats ****ing ******, if that was the case, he would have just turned pro, he didint need the olympics. alot of amatuers guys dream is the represent their country in the olympics and only someone whos at that level, or have ever worn the flag on their back could understand the feeling of pride that comes with that, dont be ******

This is why The leading man in boxing today is Pacquiao.

Honor.
Dignity.
Courage
Resume.
Willingness to fight the best
Spectacular wins.

These are character traits absent to Fake Floyd.

Only men who do not value dignity and honor can ever see Fake Floyd as a top boxer. He epitomizes everything that is bad in boxing.

Excuses.
Running like a chicken.
HUgging ala Ruiz
Gift decisions.
Ducking

and the best line of them all coming from Fake Floyd himself.

"I'M NOT HERE TO PROVE TO THE FANS WHO'S THE BEST".

So get some brains dude.

I'm so proud of Floyd and he's so smart for advertising it like that. He's going to get so many more fans..

far from ******, like i said its the icing on the cake when it comes to representing your country in floyds case, and seriously it is what 99% of young amateurs do when they're in the Am's, while they're gaining experience for the pro's they get a look into the world stage by fighting in the olympics. what i'm saying is that floyd is not a guy that is motivated by his country's pride, he is not motivated by fighting for his flag, he is motivated in fighting for money and a level of status, nothing more. the only thing floyd represents is himself and only himself. that is what i'm getting at, even back when he was the same way, you might not know but my friends went to the same school as floyd out here in vegas, he hasn't changed a bit. and don't think for a second you can go by what he says in his interviews, you might as well believe every tabloid and every politician if that is the case.

the fact remains the same whether floyd wanted to fight for his country's pride or not, he is using patriotism to gain fans because he doesn't have the same kind of fan base as hatton. he is using this ploy to gather as many people as he can that are going to root for him just because he's fighting a Brit. it's cheap it's cheesy and it pisses me off that he would stoop to such a level where this is how he gains his following.

if floyd is so patriotic how come we're hearing all this mess now and not when he was fighting other guys from other countries???? he's fought other guys from other places and yet it was never country verses country, they're trying to use the revolutionary war to spark interest in this fight for people who aren't boxing fans, floyd is just trying to tap into the DWTS market and gather up more sales. which is fine, there is nothing wrong with trying to get more but the fact is he don't care about **** other than money..........oh and his bling too.

That interview was hilarious. Floyd showd a humble and funny side that is not seen from his "persona" most of the times. People are still finding a way to hate on him though, wow.

So Floyd can come off good one time in an interview. It's pretty sad that some people are considering that such a feat. It speaks VOLUMES about his fanbase. One nice interview doesnt erase a career of being a ****y, mouthy little **** that makes boring fights and talks up his bling and "man friend" 50 cent.

THIS IS WHITE vs. BLACK!!!

Actually, it is probably more indicative that his whole media image is a carefully manicured persona that he has adopted.

Floyd has embraced the whole "bad guy" thing to boost his paydays. Is he bratty and hyper-confident? For sure. Is he that image that he puts on at 24/7 and at pressers? Most assuredly not.

Which is why it's so funny that you guys HATE a projected image that isn't "really real".
