Why the hate for Mayweather?

[AndyShitHot]

So why wasn't Mosley vs Margarito on PPV?

I think Mosley is a bigger draw than Marquez, especially now after the beating he gave to Margarito. It's more a fact of Mayweather being a bigger draw than Mosley and Magarito put together.

I don't like Floyd for the simple fact that he hasn't fought the best at 147, no other reason. HBO even tried to get him to take on the Cotto-Mosley after the Hatton fight but instead what did he do? Walk away.

If at some point he doesn't fight either one of or both of Mosley and Cotto then he is a coward, plain and simple. I like the idea that someone else had with at the end of the year having Mosley vs Mayweather and Cotto vs Pacquiao and then the winners meet to unify things at 147 and we'll finally have someone who we can call the top dog at 147 and an outright P4P Number 1.

Everyone seems to think Cotto has no chance of losing against Clottey.
I don't understand it. It could happen.

Whoever Mayweather fights after JMM, the negotiations are gonna be rough.

I have a feeling Mosley may get frozen out again of a big payday.

He is the best fighter of our generation period!

Well, all I can say is if the best your generation can produce is a hip-hop version of Hector Camacho than your generation must be pretty pathetic indeed.

How would Mosley-Mayweather draw more than Marquez-Mayweather when Marquez has a whole country behind him? a lot of Mexicans WILL buy the PPV to support Marquez in his biggest fight to date.

If Mosley is such a big draw then why wasn't Mosley-Margarito on PPV? and don't say because Margarito is not a draw, when Margarito-Cotto WAS on PPV.

Sig this, Mayweather vs Marquez would sell more PPVs than Mosley vs Mayweather.

C'mon Bro, Marquez has hardly been on PPV!? Shane has been on PPV more, longer & drawn far far more buys in the fights that he's had. That's not a valid argument. Wouldn't the same be said than that Marg would draw more than Baldo? But Baldo was champ sure, but wait belts don't make Floyd. Ahhh im confused.

Mosley is a bigger name in the to the casual fan than Marquez. I"ll base that on the number of PPV buys career was shane has been in, which dwarfs what marquez has been in.

I never really had a dislike for Mayweather as he was coming up to Junior Welterweight. Many of my friends really liked the guy so we would watch his fights. I was impressed by his defense and his ring work when fighting decent fighters like Corrales, and Castillo. I wasn't overwhelmed by his boxing skill in the first Castillo fight in which I felt Castillo narrowly won, but I felt like in the second Castillo fight he did what he had to do to win outright. When he fought Corley I thought he stood up very admirably in crunch time. After he beat Bruseles which really wasn't any competition to him at all I was actually visualizing him going up to face Tszyu. My friends felt he was the best boxer at this time, I felt he really couldn't say this until he stepped into the ring with Kostya. When he picked Gatti over Tszyu I began to suspect a kind of side step. Who really gave Gatti a chance to beat Mayweather? I know I didn't, it was a blatant mismatch. To say Gatti's following garnered more money than Kostya Tszyu at that time was horse ****. This is when I first started to dislike him.

He has been doing **** like this ever since. Now even my friends who praised him for many years are turning their back to him because he keeps avoiding "the best" fighters in his own weight division.
