      I think some people are just trying to use it as justification to say Nike picked Pac so he must be a bigger name but the thread starter did not check facts before this and realize that Nike and Jordan made a play for Floyd AND sponsored a fight for him. Floyd ended up turning the deal down but it's pretty ridiculous. Nike has several boxers, not just Pac so it's not like they had to pick and choose just one.

              Either way.

              Pacman's influence on one country is unrivaled.

                Probably because Mayweather is a self involved ****.

                  Making what up? I'm not trying to hate on either guy. I like both but I'm just stating what happened. Floyd was sponsored for one fight and turned a deal down. You sound like you just want to hate no matter what. Nike has sponsored Pac, Mayweather(even if it was just one fight), Oscar has a nike shoe(not a boxing shoe), RJ, Evander back in the day, Koki Kameda. Andre Ward is the newest boxer added to the Jordan lineup but they stated there will be more to come.

                      floyd was cheaper.

                      they couldn't afford real talent.
