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

[Pacdbest]

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.

Agree. We need bad loudmouth guys in boxing.

he needs to get in the ring and back up all his trash talk, and this comin from a floyd fan

This is the sad part because I really think Floyd can beat anyone put in front of him. He is that skilled, able and smart. But he is also a businessman who probably got tired of putting his life on the line for the likes of Arum and Don King. I really can't fault him for this.

Is the JMM fight the start of the warrior Floyd? I can't see it, but I'm hoping. I would love to see him fight Shane or Cotto. Just once.

:-( You're hurting my feelings! hahaha

TS is a moron, lol ...He thinks Floyd is a badboy...There is a difference between badass and dumbass. He had to fake an injury to sell more tickets...

I think PBF recognized how WWE, as fake as it is, became one of the biggest an richest franchises of all time and he wanted to bring the same thing to boxing. Plus, with his style, which is sleek, smart and effective, most casual boxing fans thought he was boring. While he was being masterful in the ring, people thought it was boring. It was a no-win situation for him. So he played the heel and became one of the highest paid boxers of all time. Not bad for a sleek, defensive-minded, and boring fighter.

Sorry man you are a pathetic fan of a guy that just don't take chances. And worst you start talking like if you where his accountant.

If he would have back up all this trash talk and win he would have 3 times the $$$ he says he has now.

Fan? I'm the first one to recognize that PBF after JLC II cherrypicked his way through the P4P ranking. Read my posts about my thoughts on him fighting Marquez, a fighter 2 weight classes lower than him.

You just can't accept that even you got suckered into buying one of his fights. GTFO here! Let me guess, you're going to watch the JMM fight, as well. At least, I never bought any of his fights.

Hes fighting Cotto when Cotto isnt at his best which is a full 147 lbs, Hatton fought dumb

hes fighting cotto at 145, still welterweight. hatton fought dumb? thats how he fights and the bottomline is he still beat the lineal champ at his 6th weight class. try again

Fighing with your hands down is dumb. 145 isnt at Cotto's best, which is why Pac is fighting him there.
