I like them both, though I have problems with both as well. Which often times leads to me being labelled a hater of both whenever I criticsize one of them.
Does anybody like both Pac and Mayweather?

If you're a fan of what Pacman stands for, then its impossible to like Floyd. Pac is about going out there to prove he's the best. A "real" rags to riches story. Floyd on the other hand is living off of what he did a decade ago, and fights only for checks, not bragging rights or to prove he's the best (he said so himself).
Now u can be a Pac fan, and still admire/respect Floyd's skills, but its hard to like a guy like Floyd. What I dont get is that he chooses to play the villian, yet whines and complains when he gets bashed. Dont play the bad guy, and expect not to get trashed.
I'm not a fan really of what any boxer stands for. Manny Pacquiao is still just a guy trying to get a check, even if he has a good mentality behind it. He's not fighting for free. Likewise, Floyd does charity work, too- its just not always publicized. I've seen several charity events he's set-up that I've never heard him try and spin in the 24/7 shows and such like they do with Manny. They're trying to make Pacquiao a hero just like Mayweather is playing the villain. It's the nature of boxing.
As far as this whole 'Manny just fights for the love of the game' - well, we've already been told he's not too keen on taking a smaller split of the Mayweather purse- and even if he took 40%, he'd still be making millions and millions of dollars. Point? It's not just about the fans or the sport even with a seemingly nice guy like Manny. He still stands for himself first and foremost.Comment

I am a fan of both, I agree reading some posts at the scene shift your feelings a little. But you have got to remember that a lot of fans here are full of ****.Comment
