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

[JM1]

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

but he fights that way so what? 145 is still his 7th weight class and still a welterweight. keep trying

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.

PBF comes off as a stuttering fool when he talks trash. Cool... he talks **** to sell his fights. But not well. He just sounds ******. I'm sick of watching him clap his hands together and stutter the same phrases over and over again, while managing to not directly answer whatever question is asked of him...

Agree. We need bad loudmouth guys in boxing.

Yep... I'm not a pbf fan nor one of his haters..I actually think he's entertaining and good for the sport.

My point exactly. Good for boxing.

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.

No way I'm paying for that. I will watch illegally since I'm a boxing fan. I just wont support him buying any of his PPV's.

Hey relax this is my Honest Opinion I can't stand a guy who trash talks and don;t back it up plain and simple and Floyd is no exception.

READ THIS: I'm not a fan of MMA and I watch UFC 101 last week and Damn did I had fun watching the champ (SILVA) taking on the real #1 contender in his weight div. And that is the reason Pac, Cotto, Hatton, Mosley among others are so loved by their fans. Why you think Floyd had to reschedule his fight???? Fans are so tire of his crap for example.

140 = Bruseles, OOOOLD Gatti
147 = Mitchell, Baldi , Struggle with Judah , 140 champ Hatton that struggle with ****ing Collazo (Mosley toyed with him) at 147.
154 = I actually gave Floyd props for taking this fight he clearly knew he was past his prime and still SD him.


That is my Honest Opinion post like or not it will still be my opinion and possibly the same of a lot of people here.

I understand.

I never said that Floyd backs up his trash talk. My point is that his trash talks sells the fights and is good for boxing, in general. Backing it up is another thing.

I really think that Floyd approaches boxing like an accountant. He has to because he manages and promotes himself.

I think you just have to take it as pure entertainment and be hopeful that casual boxing fans buy his act and continue paying for his fights. If you want boxing to survive, you need characters like PBF, the smartest man in boxing.

Respect. Let me hit you up to for your honest opinions.

Respect. Let me hit you up to for your honest opinions.

If Floyd cherrypicked what did Pac do.

[pacmanis1]

i think you got it backwards, he's good for ppvs, but not for the sport. just my two cents.
