why does floyd have so many "internet" fans, BUT NEVER AT HIS LIVE FIGHTS?!

[jpunieves]

seriously, he fights in his home town of vegas, yet guys from all over the world come in AND BRING MORE FANS WITH THEM?!

i know floyd plays the "bad guy" role. but from **** you see on the internet, he should have thousands of screaming *****s to cheer him on. THIS WOULD BE COOL TO BE JUXTAPOSED WITH ALL THE BOOS from the opposition fans. HOWEVER, never any? WHY?! Are floyds fans not financially able? There HAS to be some sort of correlation here, even if a weak one.

because they all know it won't make a difference in respect to the experience they will have if they watch it live or in ppv. they just want to see the guy show some talent and skill and hope he losses. probably expect a very boring fight.

and i have to agree to that. floyd's fans do not want to spend anything else than a ticket to see him. most of them probably do not want to spend for their hotel/other *****ty expenses just to see him fight.

look at ricky hatton's fans... those are the real fans. i just feel bad for them though after pac.

and yes... *****s don't want to reveal themselves even to their co-members. you just see them on KFC stores.

This is a no-brainer. Floyd's twitter wars are more exciting than his ring wars...

first of all vegas isnt his hometown, he lives and trains there now but he is still from grand rapids. that was evident in his fight with n'dou which took place in grand rapids.

either way i dont really agree with him not having many fans at his fights, he did have less fans than big fan favorites like DLH, hatton, JMM, gatti etc. but in most fights ive seen him in he gets the crowd support. especially early in his career.
