Don't deny it, PBF's bad guy persona is good for boxing

[sycomantz]

You do realize when you reply with intelligent responses, they flee dont you?

yeah they always do. they love to run in circles with baseless arguements and can never be rational.

they love to paint Floyd in a manner to discredit him but at the end of the day...these are the same people saying they HOPE JMM beats floyd. not b/c they want JMM they just want May to lose.

hope doesnt win fights. skill set and preparation wins fights


PBF>> peoples fav boxers

This man is a marketing genius. He knew that if he didn't play the heel, no one would watch his fights. He took to the part like fish to water and has never looked back. He is actually a professional inside the ring and very gracious in post fight conferences.

His act is unique and generates alot of interest in his fights. Half of the people who bought his fights probably wanted to see him lose and ko'd. And the more he keeps winning, the more fans want to see him lose. Brillant.

PBF is the smartest man in boxing.

Let get this clear. His persona is the reason Why I hate him.

He acts like a bad ass but doesn't take risk fights so how bad ass is that?. If he would have done it then I would have been one of his biggest fans specially for his persona.

i also think that cherrypicking is one of his strategies. why? cause people buy his fights to see him get his ass whooped and of course, those who he cherry picked(floyd pick fighters he can generally beat style wize) wont be able to beat him so people would only hope to get his ass beat in the future. so he will cherry pick again, people will buy his fight, then he will win. same cycle over and over. :

You do realize he's in his fourth weight class dont you?

Also, when I mean cherrypick, it doesn't mean he is scared of fighting anyone. I just think he thinks like an investment banker, low risk/high reward. Kind of like a promoter. Of course, he manages himself so why shouldn't he be looking out for himself. I think this also one reason he thinks this way. I've also said the same thing that as long as he keeps winning, more and more people join the PBF hate wagon so more and more would like to see him get his ass handed to him, which could translate in to more ppv. Yes, his fight with JMM might not do well, but imagine Floyd as just another skilled fighter with no personality. Who's gonna buy his fights? Boxing fans appreciate his skills, but to a casual fan, he style is boring. And if you want to make money in this industry you have to get the casual fan on board.

I don't think he cares if you're a fan or not. I think he cares that you are interested in him, his fights and how much you hate him. All these things that sell fights. It's good for boxing, in general. PBF is good for boxing.

Damn, my karma hit wiped you out. hahaha

[Cadillac Man]

PBF is smart guys...He knows that his style being a slick defensive minded counter puncher won't pack em in, so he decided to be the vilian. Only problem is he ain't challenged himself of late. If he were to fight over the next few years say Pac,Cotto,Williams,Berto,Margo he'd be this generations Ali. The problem w/ the JMM fight is it ain't that exciting of a matchup now if he were to fight Mosley then you'd have a fight instead he cherry-pickin.
