    Like a sugar ray or DLH, the reason was given and you didn't want to accept it. It's not a question as to how much money he makes, or how good he is, we know he's a great fighter and very rich (which I never understood why the fans take such pride in that since they will never see one dime of it)

    Floyd had the opportunity to become the next DLH as far as mass appeal and he doens't have it. He can't pack stadiums in by himslef the way Leonard, Tyson and DLH did in their prime, sorry but he can't.

    Part of the reason for that is he's just not a charismatic person, ****y....YES but he doens't have that appeal that people are drawn to.

        Most of the nation didn't even know who he was until 07.

        How is it that people come to love to hate someone they aren't even aware of?

            its simple floyd acts like a bicth who the hell would like a man acting like a bicth. Example look at the end of the Hattan fight floyd gets on his drama win pose with his hands up in the air and it looks so fake as hell acting like he beat Kingkong 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.
              floyd hasn't been able to capture the American imagination because he doesn't embody the american dream.

              floyd went from rags to riches, but let the riches change him.

              also, floyd is never the underdog and most people (americans included) love the underdog.

                i didn't like PBF prior to the RH match, thought he was too disrespectful etc. but after there fight we stayed behind to see what was said and Floyd was very gracious about his win and gave credit to RH. since that day on, even though he's not boxed, he's gone up in my estimations and i'm glad to see him return

                  The general public has already forgotten about Mayweather. A 30 second commercial didn't do anything to change that.

                      Most casual fans don't even pay attention to him to even think about him, much less waste time "hating" on him.

                      Most, still refer to him as "the little Black guy DLH fought".
