Check out this new B-Hop interview from ESPN

[IMDAZED]

The idea that Mayweather is hated because of the way he behaves is very, very narrow. Floyd Mayweather was hated long before that--his behavior is just the excuse that's used now. He's been hated ever since he called a long-term offer from HBO a "slave contract." From that point on, he's had a huge target on his back. And what had he done so bad up to that point to deserve that? Trash talk his opponents? The media said he went too low when he openly mentioned Corrales (RIP) beating his wife while giving the guy who committed the act a pass. How twisted is that? It's no wonder he kept calling out the media for constantly bringing up his personal life while ignoring Arturo Gatti's (RIP).

The dislike for Mayweather stems from the same sort of dislike that's dished out to any Black athlete who doesn't keep his lips sealed and play his position. That's just what it is and I agree with Hops that, with that said, Floyd should use his stature positively to speak to the audience that relates to him. The majority of the rest aren't going to like him any way.

floyd is a better role model than bhop

[ИATAS]

I think both are/were despised because they were Black.

Jim Brown was, I honestly don't know how much of a factor that has to do with Floyd. There are plenty of loved black athletes in america so it's much more than simply race. It's how floyd portrays himself to be that people don't like.

oh come on. So throwing money everywhere, burning $100 bills, talking like a fool at times in interviews, flaunting his money 24/7, his personality, his insanely huge ego, none of that has to do with why people don't like him, seriously?

It's a persona, floyd "money" mayweather. if people can't see that then that's their fault for being ******ed

Pretty much why I don't like him

I'm aware that's his persona, but that is still the image he projects out there, people only see what he wants them to see so if people hate him for it, he shouldn't complain.

That is a reason why some people hate him but some hate him because he is black and does that. Tommy Morrison even though he was never as big as PBF is now was brash, a trash talker and flamboyant yet he was never hated IMO.

T.O. didn't flash his money but talked all the **** in the world and has a ego and he is hated. So its more to it than just money and ego.

[ИATAS]

No it's because he's black!
