Floyd Mayweather: The fighter you love to hate

[- v e t -]

I pay my taxes so why doesn't he?

Can any *****s explain that or do you guys not pay taxes?

Are we to believe he is a thoroughly nice bloke in real life? you can see a mile off that he is a racist/ignorant no class mofo.

Sometime its not hype, sometimes what people say comes from the heart.

.........Same difference........

a little but still a difference.

people don't just turn out to see floyd get beat.

they turn out to see their man beat floyd.

imo he just needs an ass whooping
him suffering his first loss will mature him in 2 a fighter i would respect much more
plus he can learn a lot from and ass whoopin

If his marketing strategy was to be loved rather than hated then his marketing strategy would differ from the one I laid out above. It would be a different strategy for sure.

It would be a different strategy in some senses, and yet the same in some others.

If, on his current strategy, people love to hate him, would the opposite strategy require that people hate to love him?

[apokalips]

Floyd doesn't REALLY want people to hate him, he wants them to love him but he never got the attention he wanted or felt he deserved and so decided that making people hate him would garner him that attention and decided to play that role. That is why you see a lot of frailties in his personality when presented with confrontation or criticism, confusion from within himself.

If that makes sense

And here I was thinking he was a douche bag.. whether he trys to be or not.

This.............

I think Floyd has been trying to turn it around since the Hatton fight. I think Floyd assumed everyone would back him when he fought Hatton because it was a Brit vs USA showdown.

He has also been trying to tone it down since coming back, JMM fight being an example.

I used to like him, but not anymore, The wind changes its directions, im on Pac sides now

dont think he cares, he still gets your money
