    He was FAST becoming a household name after W's over DLH and Hatton and apperances on WWE and Dancin w the stars. The problem is dude walked away right when he was peaking and getting well known. Now he lost all that Momentum. He and Pac are the only 2 Boxers casual fans have heard of!

      No, Mayweather is not a household name, but his appearances on that craptastic (gag) 'dancing with the stars' and some WWE event have probably helped.

      And, I only watched that craptastic failure of a show when I was dating an ex girlfriend. I will NEVER watch it again. Failure from start to finish.

        I agree with what youre saying but I think the term Household Name means more so the average person who dont watch Boxing Knows Someone like Mike or Ali Ect.. verses Mayweather they like Who? Ive Seen this before in conversation with people who dont know boxing.

        So my answer would have to be no hes not.

          How is this so? DLH, Leonard, and Foreman have been involved in many things outside of boxing. They have been in commercials to TV shows.

              i think him and manny are well known at this point. Manny with his recent fights, and de la hoya having had the fight with de la hoya, both him and manny are the premier faces of the sport in my opinion. i would say people know who he is at this point.

                    Manny is known more than Floyd worldwide. Floyd more so in the United States. difference is, Manny IS a household name in his own country. Floyd is not. Thanks to HBO though, Pacquiao isn't to far behind Floyd in the US.
