Why waste time hating on Floyd?

[ThatDude44]

I think its pretty sad the best boxer in the last 10 or so gets no endorsement money.. Its a real shame.. We have rapist like Kobe and murders like Ray Lewis cleaning up in endorsements..

I know a lot of blame is on Floyd.. Before the woman beating thing he didnt get endorsements because of his bad guy persona. Foul mouth, open gambler and strip club visits, throw in his ****y attitude and flashyness.. White folks dont like that lol.. Therefore no endorsements..

Maybe now that he seems to have calmed down, he may get an endorsement or 2..

You have to be a real scumbag to be the best boxer in the WORLD, and have zero endorsements. Floyd has great people around him, they need to work on that. Youre telling Floyd cant do a subway commercial? Ward should be getting endorsements too, they both have great smiles

Open ******** and strip clubs is Michael Jordan and Barkley. They're gonna pick and choose who they endorse, live your life the way that makes you happy. **** it!

David Beckham and Roger Federer would be in the top 5. So would Lionel Messi and Christian Ronaldo who also earned more than 40 Mil.

Racist ******, typical floydiot claiming racism where there is none.

Where is Manny Pacquiao? I am sure he should be in the top 10 also.

RESPECT!

Like ive been saying and this is no hate, Floyd is Buisness-Money first.. Smart business man with excellent advisors around him..

Floyd left that snake Arum and is now getting paid without someone taking his check other then the IRS obviously....

Floyd can fight anyone and make 30+ (Marquez a lightweight)..

Floyd will not put himself in a position where he has a chance to loose, (Ortiz, Guerrero, washed up Mosley, past it Cotto)...

Floyd definitely one of the best of THIS GENERATION and DEFINITELY the best at GETTIN MONEY..

No, they are not factoring in the expenses. Just the revenue/income made. The number is genuine, it's just about income. If you want to factor in expenses, you can go on all day about every athlete and/or corporation. And no, Golden Boy does not pick anything. Golden Boy just gets paid a small fee. They don't take part in the profits of the event.

Thanks for clarity G....ingenuine wasn't the right word there...I more meant like the general population - when they read this headline on yahoo's most read-or whatever site, that most are probably not aware of how much comes off the top immediately- aside from the IRS....all just chump change anyway right?- just a day on the ol' dice for this boxing fan....ha

Fraud Gayweather I must admit is a great businessman but is a ****ty cherry picking fighter. Won't fight real threats like Martinez PAC to preserve the 0 that got him his $. All fighters should promote themselves after a certain point of success and then they can seek the rewards and not the promoters who never laced up a glove taking all.

If fighting a guy like Guerrero is a cherry pick,then that is a testament to how great Floyd's skills are.Guerrero is a good boxer-tall, rangey and can fight rough when need be (he is also a southpaw...so much for Floyd struggling against southpaws theory)- he just had no success against Floyd-that doesn't make him a bad fighter.


STFU with "real threats" like PAC who got KTFO by a blown up LW or Martinez who is a MW! Floyd may have had 2 dabbles at JMW,but he is no doubt a WW fighter.

Let's see Pac ask for a fight against natural 147 fighters instead of making these guys come down in weight or fight smaller guys. In Pac's last several fights he is fighting smaller guys (Bradley, Marquez and now Rios) and when he is not doing that,he makes them drain themselves thirsty...gtfoh
