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

If Floyd cherrypicked what did Pac do.

Uh.oh. Hit a nerve. Don't worry, I don't agree with Pac team's negotiating tactics either, ie.,. catchweight, purse splits, but that's for another thread.

This thread is about Floyd and you are welcome to dispute that Floyd didn't cherrypick without bringing another fighter in the conversation. It doesn't make the arguement better, it just reinforces that both fighters were both wrong in handling their businesses.

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

These days, PPVs are a good indication of how the sport is doing. I think it's safe to say that if the PPV is good then so is the sport.

It's definitely good for him since it's hard to get mainstream sports fans to root for an extremely cautious good guy. Instead of dealing with the indifference that comes with being a safety-first good guy, he chooses to polarize people as a safety-first bad guy.

If not for his attitude, which really is manufactured since he's not ****** or a gangsta by nature, he'd be irrelevant and unknown outside of boxing.

Do you agree that he is one of the smartest men in boxing, in and out of the ring? I can't think of another fighter who manages and promotes himself, as well as this guy.

I agree he is smart in the sense that he makes a lot of money without taking a lot of punishment. As far as managing and promoting himself, he is managed by one of the most powerful managers in boxing Al Haymon, and most of his fights have been promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, Top Rank and HBO.

I am a Pac fan, a frustrated PBF fan, a Shane fan, a Nard fan, a JMM fan, love Izzy Vasquez, Donaire, Maidana, Linares, and more. In short, I am a boxing fan.

I really should change my sig and avatar. Most people think I'm a pachugger. I'm not. I'm just a boxing fan since my grandfather took me to a local fight in '79.

Bull****!!!! That's gotta to be the worst act ever.

I often said that after the first Castillo fight and then the rematch, Floyd became more of a businessman. If you compare his records pre JLC and post, the quality of opposition is like night and day.

Hmm, Oscar, Zab, and Hatton worse than prior Castillo, very debatable.
