Is this description of how Floyd sees his fans true?

[Weebler I]

Im sure he cares about his fans, but I think he was implying that he only cares about his fans that "stroke" him constantly, basically his yes men. rather than the true boxing fans that watched him from the start and said "man this guy will be #1 p4p some day" and supported him throughout his career.

Are you? he has said enough times that he looks after No.1 and that's it, "fans" don't come into it (which makes it all the more amusing so many are prepared to argue black is white on his behalf).

I watch Boxing TO BE ENTERTAINED...I don't need a Boxer to acknowledge me as a fan of theirs

when did boxing fans start feeling so entitled? Because you pay for PPV's...what is funny though is the people who do the most b1tching and complaining don't even pay for PPV's

You have to understand that some of this guys need affection, they need a fighter to tell them that they are fighting for them lol even though no fighter fights for his fans, fighters actually use that sheet to mug desperate fools like Ricky Hatton fans who sold their houses and put their money on him to beat Mayweather just because he told them to.

I think Floyd appreciates his fans. He just can't please everyone, and attempting to do so would be an act of futility. Many bring up this alleged, uncaring description of him because: 1. He doesn't fight as often as many (fan or foe) would like. 2. He doesn't fight the fighters many would like to seem him fight.

I'm sure some of his fans lost interest in him because he and Pacquiao couldn't make the fight everyone wanted to see happen.

Regardless, he's got many adoring and admiring fans the world over no matter how anyone feels. And I'm pretty sure he's content with that.

No doubt, but you can see some fighters genuinely appreciate and are humbled by the support they receive, they're the types of characters you would support whereas others just don't care past the money you put in their pocket, salesmen and snakes. We all know fighters that fall into both brackets.

Fans don't expect material gifts or give them fights for free. All they want in return is see you fight often and fight the fights they want. But this Floyd guy is none of that. Yet fans of his defend him like he's the Messiah.

could careless, i pay to watch him fight and thats it, im a grown ass man, dont need to worry about what he cares about my "feelings"...

I don't care if he came out and said f**k off to all his fans, and to eat s**t and die. I like watching him box, I don't care what he thinks of the fans. He doesn't owe the fans anything, and I hate when people say professional athletes owe it to the fans....most of them, ESPECIALLY boxing fans, are full of s**t.

you'd still support him if he said that, as in you would buy all of his ppvs?
