    People love black athletes who are on the up-and-up; Jordan and Tiger (before the sex scandal) come to mind the most. They don't like braggards who throw their money around and laugh at how rich they are compared to you - that's going to turn anyone off, especially the regular joe schmoe who is paying $59.99 of his hard earned money to see your bragging @ss run around the ring for 12 rounds.
    You realise that when it comes to bragging and being a prick, Michael Jordan is way ahead of Mayweather?

    I haven't seen Mayweather insult the people in his camp. I haven't seen him call out the guy who beat him in the amateurs so that he could humiliate him in a crowd of people.

    Tiger Woods displayed arrogance too. Any athlete is arrogant, they might put on a smile for the cameras, shake hands and work at the soup kitchen on a Saturday but deep down they feel they are a cut above the rest.

        same goes for ali. ali was always on some racist ****, tearing down his opponents and pinning blacks against blacks. what he did to frazier is down right de****able. especially when JF helped ALi get on his feet when ali was flat broke

        the hatred for mayweather is purely b.c of his greatness and these cats are jealous

          Go Floyd!!! Sign sign sign!!!!!

          (Because nothing would make me happier than to see a black man **** the financial shyt out of Floyd ha ha ha ha ha!!)

                    Great question.

                    True. Compared to other major crime figures, Don is not locked up and is still respected as a top promoter. He just figured out how to game the system. Arum gamed the system as well.

                    However, it's not right if others get hurt and have to sue you. At least, people should know who they're dealing with. Apparently, money speaks louder than words and the victims have found out the hard way.

                    Floyd's an insider and should know what and who he's getting involved with. If he gets jacked for being neglectful, that's on him to sort out.

                      Arum is worse than don king. Hate on king all you want but the fact is he does his job, he gets his fighters fights.
