    That's cool. Oscar appeals more to white people and is a nice guy. If you had only seen Floyd on Dancing with the Stars you would have liked him. Oscar is a nice guy promoting his fights and outside of the ring. Floyd tries to be a ***** and annoy you while promoting.

        This was demonstrated when he went on dancing with the stars and went home in like 2 weeks.

          Floyd lasted more than 2 weeks, and you know why Oscar appeals better than Floyd. Oscar's a nice guy in everything he does. When have you seen Oscar call someone a ***** to their face or disrespect other fighters.

            Its also because he is not likeable and has no charisma. A truly great fighter and star combination would capture the attention of the general public.

              That in conjunction with not having a fan-friendly style.

                He was likeable by people who watched that dancing show. Boxing is not as big as it was in the past. Your not gonna see Floyd(not even Oscar) doing commercials. Floyd plays the bad guy role in boxing.

                  its sad that this dude has to act like an uneducated, disrespectful, materialistic bafoon just to get people interested in his work inside of the ring when the guy has all the boxing talent in the world. and it has nothing to do with being black either. RJJ never had that problem.

                      Its true! Floyd's style isnt very fan-friendly. Not to the casual fan at least!
