ESPN UK: Mayweather hits out at lack of American support

[mrlopez]

Maybe

if Floyd acted like a respectful man instead of an immature kid who needs to be backhanded he would enjoy american support, regardless of color. This guy points the finger at everyone else yet never looks in the mirror to see what he actually is as opposed to what he thinks he is........

you cant ask for respect floyd, you have to earn it.

sum it up right here..

[tredh]

maybe if you stopped acting like a giant **** you'd have more support. Could have gone the sugar ray leonard approach and americans would have loved you, instead of throwing money at people, acting foolish, having more court cases per year than fights, etc.

I don't agree with the bold. That has not worked for everyone who tried it and that is route PBF and Arum were taking early in his career and it didn't work for him. He created his own lane and it got him the money he wanted but not the fan love he wanted. I think PBF needs to accept the fact that lane he chose to drive his career in didn't and doesn't endear him to the masses. Boxing fans are not like wrestling fans where the bad guy gets just as much love and support as the good guy. PBF would have been better off at just being a **** talker for fights. Some of the personal stuff he says offends and turns people off and makes them not to do business with him regardless of it makes money or not. For some people no amount of money can make up for them feeling scorned.

This statement kinda shows why he is reluctant to fight Pac. He feels that the risk of losing far outweighs the credit he’ll get for winning. With Pac, its not a sure thing. He’s not sure if he can easily beat him and he doesn’t want to risk everything in order to find out.
