I'm Hispanic and I am from Texas as well and I don't like Floyd, so for people to say that it is only white people that don't like him isn't true. A lot of non boxing fans get really turned off by him based on his antics and that he never stops running is mouth and people don't like his attitude. That is the reason he will never be very popular with non boxing fans.
Alot of non-boxing fans really do hate mayweather

Something i have noticed is that many boxers arnt liked in there era. I mean boxers not fighters. Ali was hated for much of his carrere for his crap talk and for disrespecting his opp while beating them in the ring. many people turned to his fights hopeing he would get knocked out, but they paid money to watch him. 56 (KO 37) decent amount of KO, and very good opp.
I think floyd is in the same boat 38 (KO 24) decent amount of KO decent opp(getting better and better after slipping down a bit). many people hate him but will still watch him fight. he to runs his mouth. while ali for a long time was about seperation from the whites, floyd is about the green. Another diffrence is that ali didnt have to compete with NBA NFL MLB playes and golfers for attention. Boxing was one of the top sports.
Ali became as big as he was after he retired, know he is bigger than boxing.
Pernell whitaker is another fighter who was very skilled and his antics inside and out side of the ring made him hated, i truely belive he is getting more credit know that he doesnt fight then when his carrere was going. know his knockouts are almost none, but he faught very very good opp.Comment

its not ignorant.. its fact that blacks will side with a black fighter over a white fighter.. vise versa..
alot of white people like mayweather too.. mostly americans.. but i doubt u will find a white britian that like floyd..Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, this is very true. Not the whole reason but a lot of it. BTW I'm white and Mayweather cracks me up every time he talks ****. He's got skills with his mouth and I prefer that over a quiet Ricky Hatton or DLH. He makes his career entertaining, and is earning more money because of it. Why not?
You can pull that race card all you want, but it's total bull****..
If Floyd was white, I'd dislike him the same. (me being white)
I just don't like fighters that "gotta go represent" (Mayweather, Tarver, Toney)
All three are dumb ass knuckleheads.
Skin color has nothing to do with liking or disliking fighters...
Black fighters that I like, just to name a few... Mosley, Hopkins, Byrd.. Of those who are retired Lewis, Tyson, Foreman, Leonard, and many, many more.
Let's say Mayorga, he is a really loud mouth "boxing's bad boy" but to me he is funny and does a good job hyping up the fight.
QUESTION PEOPLE.. i have never seen a white boxer talk **** like floyd or bernard does.. usually thats for blacks.. example mayweather hatton who is loud and who isnt? .. just saying RACE PLAYS A BIG role in who people like and dislike
im black and im dead right.. i know how white people look at us when we be loud.. a black dude will come over and start shoutin with us.. white people look at us with a disgusted face whenever they see a group of black people acting like that... white people are scared of what they are not use to .. and that is floyd..Comment

So what is your point?In school there is this kid who is not really a boxing fan but watches it from time to time and he was saying he wishes mayweather gets knocked out and that he tried watching 24/7 but he just doesnt because all floyd does is talk bull**** in every segment and chance he gets.Comment

wrong again my friend. well, not COMPLETELY. my gramps is a Ali fanatic. he always tells me stories about where he would watch his fights and what not. my uncle is a serious Sugar Rey Leonard fan and uses SRL's career as a comparison for greatness. I know when I was in the Rio Grande Valley, they would ALWAYS televise RJJ fights in bars and sometimes, even clubs.Comment

Fried tastes much better than baked.
Even though the **** he says is entirely more vulgar and disrespectful to people and their families. But of course, Mayorga isn't black and you're a corn ball/Obruni.
Mayweather relates to those who relate to him, not corn balls.Comment
