how did floyd get so damnn popular???

[marvelousmatt]

real talk, honestly believe if it wasnt for his mouth..nobody would watch him

his style, to majority of people is boring

in addition, i reckon if ward was a wild trash talker, people would tune in although his style sucks as well

n rigo could speak english, same thing

i guess the main thing is talking and backing it up

Easily the change from Floyd to Money,made him more money.Hyping your fight is a big part of PRIZE fighting and dam Floyd is good at that. Also facing very good competition and beating them helps too.

Please stop with the Rigo ****e..I'm going to puke. Stop mentioning Rigo with Floyd in the same sentence. Rigo couldn't carry Floyd's spit bucket.

Because Oscar De La Hoya gave him a shot at superstardom. Same with Pacquiao, both him and Floyd reached different levels after their De La Hoya wins.

[Kuyukut]

He's boxings first gay champion.

^^^^^^^this

here's the evidence, pic was taken after the canelo fight.

Yea like the great Mexican fighter Azucar Mosley.

Cotto and Mosley are Mexicans?

Floyd isn't popular, but the people he's paying know how to sell him as a brash undefeated fighter, and that was proven when they hijacked the 'Cinco De Mayo' spot.

That angle against a decent well known Mexican on that date for the last few years = Money.

Before that Floyd needed a big Star to go against for big numbers.

It takes two, or in Floyd's case: It takes a Mexican on Cinco De Mayo.

Learn to read Dumb Dumbs.

Mosley and Cotto were sandwiched in between bouts against Mexicans.

Oscar made him, then to exploit that he fought Hatton, and followed up with a Mexican.

Cotto and Mosley are the only two Non-Mexicans after Hatton.

So you're basically reaching.

[MrTambourineMan]

So you're basically reaching.

Nope. Floyd has faced a large Majority of Mexicans since the Oscar fight.

The only two Non Mexicans he faced? Cotto and Mosley. Cotto and Mosley = Big Non-Mexican Names in the Boxing World.

Like I said: He needs a Big name or a Mexican to sell.

[AntonTheMeh]

when you match him up with a cash cow (oscar de lahoya) on his last legs, and see him in the role of the villain, it was inevitable for him to become must see tv for some particularly when he's also the best boxer on the planet.

Mosley has never been a big star so you're still wrong. It's difficult to have quality discussion with fools such as yourself. Floyd is the most popular fighter in the sport. You're just going to have to deal with it.

You fight and beat ODLH you become famous (Mosley, B-Hop, Pac)

Floyd was on dancing with the stars and a lot of ppl watch that highly rated show and got him exposure outside of boxing

Floyd was on the WWC (or WWF) and exposed him even more to a different audience(thats how my teenager knows him)

He did some commercials that were televised nation wide

His antics and persona

His undefeated record

His own marketing

He has been around for a while already and was early on HBO

the oscar kiss of life doesn't work with everyone though (mosley and hop). if you're exciting (pac, tito) or brilliant(floyd) and charismatic it works.
