why does people hate mayweather so much?

[hugh grant]

Well, Floyd does seem to like to play the villain and where theirs a villain theres also a hero in Pac.

If the fight dont get made the villian will always be blamed. Pac is innocent, therefore he is innocent until proven guilty. Floyd is guilty until proven innocent.

I have never read just such hate before. Im sitting here fairly reading and i can't understand for the life of me why would anyone not like a fighter who has the best talent in the world.

To put it simply....He's a prick.

I like to believe that most people dislike Mayweather for his attitude, not for his insane boxing skills, because that would be just ******.

I agree here. I think its the way he carries himself outside of the ring and the way he contradicts himself so much in interviews. I for one want him to stay alot more active and to only fight the top fighters. I was upset for him not to take the Margarito fight over Baldomir nor attempt a cotto negotiations in late 08 after Cotto beat Mosley and he beat Hatton a few weeks after. Now im a bit upset with the Pacquiao fiasco But I cant blame Floyd for everything as I know Arum is on the other side of things too. For someone to hate him for his boxing skills, then agree, it would be clearly ******. The man is clearly one of or the most skilled fighter in the sport.

It's because he's fat.

Yes, I did consider that, but came to the conclusion that he acts like a douche because he IS a douche. I actually used to pull for Floyd, up until he dodged Hatton at 140 and the fact that he IS a douche became more readily apparent. Many people I know feel the same way, he has cost himself many fans by being a douche.

I've officially heard all the anti-Floyd stories now.


Hatton's own camp confessed they weren't ready for Floyd when he was at 140. They ducked the fight.


You're an idiot.

You are an idiot because you missed the point. The point is that around the time he dodged Hatton at 140 is also around the time his arrogance and all around behaviour started to become really intolerable, idiot.
