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.
    BS.. I GUESS THAT 50 cent sold the majority of his Albums to BLACK PEOPLE too huh? WRONG..its white suburban kids..

    anyways, stop playing the race card. I know LOTS of BLACK people who are NOT fans of MAYWEATHER..i know lots of WHITE people, from America ESPCIALLY ON Here THAT ARE..

          I alway asked the same question????? They claim he doesnt have any fans but millions across internet board defends him constantly.

          UK fans are totally different from US fans..They just dont travel for NO one go back in boxing history..Ali..Hagler etc had No fans coming over to support them in the UK, UK fans are very vocal that why the 4000 fans in the arena were able to out sing the Yanks.

                  i dont post on SOHH, i dont post on any boards because as a producer, i dont want to put myself in a compromising position with rappers who potentially could be my clientele. Trust me, rappers know all about those boards and whats said on them, i know first hand.

                      Im a fan because of what Floyd has accomplished. If someone buys a fight to watch Floyd lose, that doesn't make them a fan. Because that person will not support Floyd, and thats what a fan does, support. If I was a fighter, I would HATE if more people tuned into to see me lose than to support me. I'm sure that is what haunts Floyd the most.
