    no that isnt it at all, arrogance has never produced large fanbases, i have brought this up many times, that a guy like Rocky Graziano had more popularity than ray robinson at the time because of the fact that people related to him, during ray robinsons prime he was unbeatable and was arrogant, people couldnt relate to it. Because the majority of you havent been following floyds entire career, you dont know that he didnt always downtalk his opponents, his dad used to do it more than he did. Regardless, floyd didnt have that hype behind him because he wasnt the kind of fighter people related to. People dont relate to perfection, majority hated Ali also, for the same reasons, he rubbed it in your face and looked so beautiful in his wins.

    I think you are just assuming PBF's majority fanbase is a bunch of young people and that isnt true, majority of his fans are black period, young or not, black people love him, because we have always liked/related to fighters like PBF, the style/manner he carries himself in the ring is how the majority of the best black fighters have fought, weather its Jones Jr, Ali, or Whitaker. When everyone else was hating these guys, blacks rallied around them.

    You are looking at this **** from a messageboard angle and thats it.

          Co-sign....Totally agree.

              I was thinking the same thing.

              And no one ever says that "b" crap in a chat room.

              I bet he doesnt even know what "b" means??

                you just proved you know **** about both sports, marketing and just business over all. the biggest star in basketball is lebron james. Kobe became INFAMOUS which doesnt make you a "star" you idiot though he was already prior to boning the crazy white chick. just because your "known" doesnt mean you're a "star". Floyd IS a star. Floyd prolly is CURRENTLY the most known boxer on the planet right now but can change as soon as Oscar chooses his next opponent. And just for the record you bumbling buffoon, Kobe may have alot of haters, but his fans FAR outnumber him. You're replying to one right now.

                  They buy the ticket to see Floyd lose no matter who he fights.

                  Hes the villian and the biggest star in boxing.

                      Houston, Tx, Berry Road Projects, my best friends were cuban and from NY. And when you have unlimited access at a job which really doesnt require much work, its not hard to spend time on messageboards from 10:30-7:30, b.
