Is this description of how Floyd sees his fans true?

    I doubt it can be genuine, how could somebody genuinely apprecciate a horde of unknown people?.
    It's about marketing, and to an extent a nice ego stroke.

    You think a clerk at a ***el shop is so very nice because he is really happy to see a client, or because he'd get his ass fired if he said what he really thinks ?.

    Nobody would care about Floyd (or any other fighter) if he wasn't that good in the ring.

    As for us fans, as much as I dislike the idea, we are nothing more and nothing less than potential "consumers" of a certain product.

      well there's always little things like personally flying out fans to his fights that get tattoos of him on their body (i think he's done this once or twice) and the smaller things like that.

        Floyd doesn't give the slightest **** about his fans. Maybe he did at one point, but those days are over.

        He may go through the motions and sign some ****, take a photo, etc. here and there, but he's made it abundantly clear he doesn't give a **** what boxing fans think of him.

          the thing some people are starting to realize is that when he makes videos of himself flashing his money, they look at that and think "hey, that's my money" and i think they are finding it offensive to see their ppv money being flashed back in their faces. that's his shtick though so i guess he's gotta stick to it.

                Yeah, but we don't defend a product's defects.

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.
                  Ok. so let me get this straight

                  If Floyd comes up and slap you in the face.. told you to eat shyt and die.

                  Force you to crawl between his legs and than urinate on your face..

                  You will still be his fan? Is that wat you are trying to tell us?

                  That if Floyd peed on your face.. you will still watch him because

                  'you like watching him box' despite the fact he went R Kelly on your face?

                  lmao..... boxing NEEDS more fans like you.


                  lmao.

                    yeah i found his post to be a little odd too. maybe they have that complex where they like being abused? ive seen it in couple, like the wife/gf would stay with the abusive husband but i dont know for sure. some people like being ****ted on.
