Would Mayweather Fans Desert Him If He Lost?

Most of them, yes. The hardcore nuthuggers would just start looking for excuses. Just look at the hardcore Plasterito nuthuggers shalafi, chicana and rogelio not only did Plasterito lose, he got a one sided beatdown, got caught cheating and they are still hanging on to his balls like their lifes depended on it.

boxing is hit and dont get hit..not get beat till you cant talk..that just dumb

Nobody said that, but from a fan's point of view, they are not interested in seeing a boxer enter the ring to play it safe. The point of paying to watch a fight is for the entertainment value. We want to see competitive hand to hand combat. Remember, its a "fight", not capoeira. Now i'm not suggesting that boxers should ignore defense and just go balls to the wall now, but give it your all. *** all that "doing enough just to win". We wanna see fighters do it decisevly!

floyd has two kinds of fans. real fans who like him for his skills, and fake fans who just jump on the bandwagon.

most fighters have this, but floyd being on top so to speak he obviously has more fake fans then the majority of fighters. hense more "fans" would also leave him if he lost than say miguel cotto, cotto has lost some fans since he lost though, belive it. although i think he gained just as many in his performance.

and i think floyd would do the same. taylor is an example of a fighter who gained a larger fanbase when he lost his undefeated record.
