    Because like it or not in America they love the "good guy". That's why they loved Forman so much, Joe Lewis, Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar De La Hoya.

    The public loves to embrace a fighter who embraces the people and not himself.

    The funny thing is when during the 24/7 episode of him with 50 cents in his house and he was walking around with gaudy ***elry and 10's of thousands of dollars in cash in his pocket, he looked like an idiot because DLH, who has 100X more money than he does, was walking around with no ***elry and a nice simple classy watch.

    Floyd has pushed the general public away with his lack of class. Great fighter, just rediculous ego attatched to it.

      Floyd wanted to be a villain, Oscar said so on 24/7.
      Oscar SRL and a younger Mayweather Jr were on a plane together and Oscar said something like "you can be popular like us" and Floyd smirked and looked down on it or something.

          I got the impression he was kind of jealous fighting hatton and oscar, because they both had big fan bases which he didnt have.

          Why do you think Mayweathers never been popular with the american public? Is it his style? Discuss.


          Because he is confusing..............disrespectful and ****y one moment.........sensitive and whinning the next.............bbet PBF is confused as well.................

              Walking around downtown flaunting all his money and throwing it around has nothing to do with fight build up..
              And guess what reed.......

              NO ONE can stop talking about his return...he has boxing in a choke hold...you cant argue that.

                Disregarding Sugar Ray Robinson and says he is the best fighter ever.

                Talks non stop about how much money he has, brags and flaunts non-stop.


                Floyd did this to himself.

                Yes.


                What makes me laugh is how Mayweather fans complain about how people treat him. I think Floyd himself accepts that if he acts this way it will make him more money, but the down side to that is he will be disliked awell.

                If Floyd can accept that why cant these loser fans of his who act like he is a class act in and outside the ring.

                  Were on a hardcore boxing forum... were talking about maybe 200 people talking about him... HARDLY the general public around the world...

                  That also has NOTHING to do with him being an arrogant prick.
