    that's because people pay to see him lose. not because they enjoy his fights.

      I'm assuming you didn't read none of what the TS wrote.

        I addressed that. They pay to see him lose against "cherry picked opponents"?? That makes no sense..

          I haven't been a Mayweather fan since before the Gatti fight, but I still respect his skills (c'mon, he's one of the greats).

          However, the last 4 or 5 Mayweather fights I watched because I was a fan of his opponents. (Judah, Oscar, Hatton, Marquez). I didn't even pay for the Baldomir fight. I just watched the free replay on HBO.

            You got owned in the first post, but you don't realize that, because you didn't read it.

              I can respect that but I'm talking about people who say "people only watch Mayweather to see him lose" without being fans of the other guy.

                It's funny how Mayweather is labeled as a duck, a boring fighter, this, that, and the other. Yet somehow, in his last 3 fights he managed to do huge numbers:


                • vs Juan Manuel Marquez - 1 mil


                • vs Ricky Hatton - 850k


                • vs Oscar De La Hoya - 2.4 mil


                For people that say he's boring or "Nobody wants to see him fight such and such", 4.25 million people disagree!






                -First things first. Let's get the excuses out of the way-

                "Mayweather was being carried"

                -Really? By the guys he "cherry picked"??? Please show me where Marquez has done anything close to those kind of numbers.

                "People only buy Mayweather PPV's to watch him lose."

                -Lose to who? The guys people said were "cherry picked , tailor made" opponents? First they say, they're cherry picked, but you pay $50 to watch him lose to his "tailor made" oppenent?

                "Those are dumb casual fans who pay to see him lose"

                -No. Casual fans don't know enough about Mayweather to know about his bad guy persona and to want him to lose that badly...

                Note: If you're buying FMJ ppv's to watch him lose, save your money.

                Face it. People like to watch Mayweather and appreciate his style. They know they are watching greatness. For those who say Mayweather contradicts himself take a look in the mirrior. Ex:

                Typical Floyd hater: Mayweather is boring to watch.

                Casual fan: I like his skills. He's never been beat and has dominated his opponents.

                Typical Floyd hater: Bull****! I scored the first Mayweather vs Castillo for Castillo. The Oscar fight could have gone either way! Judah had him in trouble in the early rounds.

                ^^^ Wait so he's boring but you took the time to watch those fights. All the way back to the JLC fight? lol. AND probably watched it more than once so you could score it right!?


                Bottom line: You made Mayweather the star he is today
                Give it up mate, most people here are just like the MMA fans. Ignorant.

                  Because guys at the top will always have haters. Mayweather has lots of fans, but other people really do pay to see him lose. But when he comes out on top, people have a built in excuse calling him a cherry picker.

                  Same thing with Pac. Before his last couple fights, people kept saying he's biting more than he can chew and he'll be exposed by bigger and more skilled fighters. But when he beats his opponent, they say he's opponent is weight drained, shot, and overrated to begin with. Now Pac's on roids?

                  Guys like Peyton Manning and Kobe Bryant have more haters than Mayweather and Pac because they more popular. Kind of ironic. Hate to say it, but you can't win an argument with a wall.
