His hype is only due to his ignorance and portrayal of the thug life life style.
When did he cross over and why?
Oscar De La Hoya was a big part of it (the reason oscar is still his boss today), Oscar gave mayweather the biggest stage possible for mayweather to debut his "Money" persona so was it his ignorant and ****** attitude that propelled him to the next level? or just his pure boxing skill? because he was always a great talent before De La Hoya but he couldent sell tickets and was referred by the masses as boring.
We just have to look at andre ward who is just as skilled as Mayweather but he is not even remotely in the same ball park as mayweather Popularity wise, is that due to Ward reluctance to sellout his image to appeal to the masses by acting ******? and if so had mayweather not sellout to portray his ****** "money may" image will he be just as unpopular as andre ward?
