    wtf just happend to this thread? i just find it weird that you are choosing to use words which have definitions everyone recognizes to relay messages and opinions only to say that just because general consensus follows these definitions shouldnt mean the words should be limited TO those definitions. You are creating a literal paradox.

      2501 the general consensus is not always right...

      if you dont believe that then we are going to have to agree to disagree...

      and it is possible that one word can have multiple Meanings.

      To used the dictionary as a source..

      The dictionary is full of them...

            furthermore, an existentialistic debate would further be more appropriate when debating the validity of the concepts of right or wrong in relation to an individual then whether the definition of a word should be limited to general consensus or individual perception.

              I was only trying to explain to you that, Just because your Definition of the word Fan has a "general consensus" among your friends.. It doesnt Meaned that it is the only definition everybody must go by... Because some people believe in a different definition of the word . That's why Some words have Multiple Meanings..

              And that was my point of this whole conversation...

                  and my point is that Your definition of Fan is one definition used by the society you were raised in, that is my point.

                  My definition of Fan is used in the society I was raised in.

                  The fact is that Some words have Multiple Meanings

                    Fanbase is irrevelant.........

                    Its about STAR power buddy.

                      Haters are part of a fighter's fanbase by default, especially in Floyd's case because they'll watch everyone of his ****in fights prayin to see him lose. Add that to his actual fans that like him and he outdoes Cotto. In terms of just plain fans that support either guy Cotto probably wins though.
