Did Mayweather start to have a lot of haters before or after he started acting very boisterous, arrogant and materialistic? One poster noted that Floyd claimed to have created his evil persona in response to the haters. Is that how it happened? If so, why would people hate him before he started acting that way? I just figured he acted that way to get a reaction out of people and sell more PPV's and get more attention and that's when people started to hate him.
