Why is Floyd's fanbase so small?

[Dick-Sucker]

I was reading on the net, that they think Floyds fans will almost double after his performance against Hatton.

like people buying kanyes album hoping that it would retire 50, the stan wars continue. soldiers soldier on (on the net)

in your own words .." apples and oranges "..

hypocrite

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

Source? Link? Or please show us the contract, I dont give a **** 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.

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

i think at this point, curiousity alone will pack most crowds, i wouldnt garuntee sellouts, but there will always be somebody sitting around waiting for someone to shut him up, or there will be those people who wanna see the so-called undefeated p4p number 1. and there are the haters, and the nuthuggers (me) who will watch it regardless.

To be honest I was just being a smart arse, because it was a ridiculous statement of the poster to make.

Okay, it's one thing to say that probably Floyd will be a draw, but to state it as fact when we simply DON'T KNOW is ludicruous.

Floyd has a fanbase of little teenagers who don't know any better.
Teenagers that talk about his money like they're getting some of it.

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.

Not even true.
FLoyd doesnt have a large fan base, but many people WATCH him fight, because he is such a phenom.
Its probably because he is ****y, arrogant, etc etc.
I just find his personality to be very amusing.
