MY theory on PBF. Agree or Disagree?

[The Noose]

Joe Louis was liked because of style and the fact he was told to be as humble as possible to not piss of white america like Jack Johnson did.

Floyd is a loud mouth with a very cautious style.

Pac is humble with a very exciting style.

Its as simple as that.

[Deja_Vous]

I partially agree.

There has to be tons of new Asians following boxing because of Pac. However, I think the hate for Floyd is more based on the fact that he's a prick.

Have you actually MET Mayweather????People that have don't say he's a prick at all..

He's the easiest celebrity to approach...Try walking-up to Oscar..LOL


At least Floyd shares the wealth.

Hoya only paid Yori-Boy 35,000 for a PPV bout.The 15 year old he ****d in mexico didn't get screwed that bad.

Oscar would never have allowed JMM to make 3 million..he would have low-balled the guy to death.


Baldomir has made more sparring Floyd than he did in most of his fights.

Hardly a prick.

[Doctor_Tenma]

floyd = boring as ****
manny = entertaining as ****

it's really simple

Depends on what style people prefer. I find Mayweather more entertaining to watch and there are others. All a matter of opinion.

I think the reason ppl hate on mayweather n are loving pac right now are as follows:
when boxing was mainly a White man sport then a great came along Of ethnic origin to the sport (joe louis, Ali) they were really good and got alot of attention and all good
now boxing has been dominated by African Americans (Tyson, lewis, rjj, pbf, list goes on etc etc) it's nothing new for a black man to be great at boxing, in comes pacquiao, who is of ethnic origin to the sport n he gets the exposure like louis, Ali etc...
In other words ppl are hating on pbf because it's nothing new for an African American to do great in boxing it is new for a filippino/asian

I can only compare this to hip hop, great black rappers all round, a great white rapper called Eminem comes along and BAM! It opens a whole new audience to rap..

Agree or Disagree?

Have to say I completely disagree there fella. I honestly dont think this whole Mayweather vs Pacquaio split of opinion has anything to do with race whatsoever.

Basically, Boxing is the same as any other sport - when you are at the top, you are there to be knocked back down. Mayweather is the best out there, and has been for some time. He is undefeated and has disposed of pretty much every opponent with relative ease (even though he hasnt always excited in this fights).

Because of Mayweather's dominance, people desperately want to see him beaten. As a result, the media and Boxing fans in general are constantly thinking up new opponents who could beat him, Pacquiao and Mosley are the latest 2. We have seen the likes of De La Hoya and Hatton built and lined up to take Mayweather down, both failed. As soon as Mayweather won these fights, the critics were already lining up his next opponent.

I just think that this whole Mayweather-Pacquaio divide is simply because of Floyd's dominance, and the public's desire to see "the king dethroned", they want to see the best fighter out there toppled because he has remained undefeated for so long. I dont think the race card needs to be played here, it has nothing to do with that in my opinion.

When you are at the top, in any walk of life, you are there to be shot at. Thats all this situation is. Well, the fact that Mayweather likes to throw his money in our faces every 5 minutes doesnt help matters either

[J.Dempsey]

it has more to do with the styles, personality, and character.

if you switch pac and pbf right now, the african american pac would be considered as the new mini tyson, get decent air times from bet/wwe/talk shows, and backings from respected rappers (considering he would be fluent with english) while the pinoy pbf will be seen as nothing more than a whiny but skilled kid who cant even get his own countrymen to back him up.

Good point, that makes sense

although from what people are saying I may be complicating things

PBF doesn't give a fuck about boxing fans in general or his own fans in particular.
The racism angle is ******ed.

Some people just don't realize defense is the hardest thing to learn in boxing.


If people applied the same common sense to boxing they do to football..they'd have an easier time predicting fights.


NOBODY bets on a team with poor defense.

Roach KNOWS Manny needs a HANDICAP to fight at the higher weights.

Floyd is an idiot. Simple. That's why I don't like him. It's not "hate". Nothing to do with race.

He isn't very nice. If people can't see this, I don't really know what to say.
