I feel kinda sorry for floyd

[FreshPrince]

You sound like an idiot.

So the nation is waiting for him to come back? Half the people who saw De La Hoya-Mayweather never wanted to see boxing again, much less pay for it.

[KingTito]

He makes a **** load of money. Who cares if people like him?

Most people on here have done a good job answering the thread already.

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.

So what do you call Tyson?

Bingo. Hit the nail on the head!

Tyson was an animal. People loved his killer instinct whether he was a bad guy or not. He's the most influential thing to happen to boxing since Ali.

They LOVE to HATE him.

Thats why hes popular....

That Golden Boy **** has already been done...

Why do you think Shane is scandering the earth looking for a big pay day....NO PERSONALITY.

As Horus would say. "He's notorious, not popular"

You cant be popular if people hate u.

[Burner]

Guess hes Notorius then..they LOVE to HATE him....

Or he could be this guy

[Chuckguy]

And guess what reed.......

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

You arent getting the point Don
WE have this illusion that Floyd will come back and fight tough competion
like the mosleys the cottos the Williams or Bertos
WE want to see him put his money where his mouth is
in other words quit talking all this **** and go out and prove it
but he wont
he is very entertaining person but that doesnt make him popular

One thing you have right is that he is boxing bad boy and that is one thing missing.

HE CARES
He just fronts and acts like he doesnt
You dont think it bothers him that Oscar makes him look like a welfare case?
He goes around like a fool "making it rain".
He has no class.
So he play the bad boy because he is an attention whore
Floyd is going to end up broke and homeless

American Public

There aren't really ANY fighters, floyd included who are currently on the radar of the general American public. Boxing as a whole is not really what it was in the past so the public doesn't get familiar with great fighters. ODLH is really the last guy everyone knows about, and it would take another great, charismatic, likeable and exciting fighter to bring back the interest of the American public. Boxing is just not embraced like that anymore.

Floyd is barely known to the average non boxing fan, and his biggest break in the ODLH fight did garner some national mainstream attention but it probably turned more people off of boxing because it was boring as ****.
