Why doesn't Floyd have any sponsors?

Yeah ditto. Wants the control in making his own money from his own work, doesn't want others (Sponsors) to have a say in how he is to act because he represent their brand, the pride in knowing his money is from his work in the gym and in the ring.

He views sponsorship as being somewhat of a slave. You have guidelines to follow since they pay you to market their brand and you represent their brand. In other words, you work for sponsors, they don't work for you.

He doesn't need sponsors he's got folder's to sell right?

I just don't really think he's marketable. Is he a role model? To who? Some boxers maybe and for people who are all about getting dat ca$h. But I just don't think he appeals to the general public, how many people can associate with his lifestyle. He doesn't really give much away in terms of interviews, no one seems to know the real Floyd. Who are his friends? There is no real connect with his fans.

I could see it happening maybe if they had a whole campaign on "Undefeated" with Floyd talking about hard work/dedication getting him to the pinnacle. However I don't think Floyd looks to inspire others, he only cares about money and himself. Thus his lack of endorsements.

I believe it is because of his style, no company would want their brand represented in a fight by running and dodging. Everybody wants their brand to be represented in a strong way. Also his ducking reputation doesn't help either. If I had a sports brand, I would sponsor fighters like Pacquiao, Golovkin, Thurman, Maidana... etc.

Like a ******** addict, hooker loving, adulterer, liquor pushing, PED guy....Sorry Pac these guys make you want to slap them down.
This has already been discussed many times before, Floyd has been stated why he doesnt want to push a product that ties him to a product that he may or may not want to use if there is a better product thats available and get sued, he doesnt want to be a slave to some brand. He's already the HIGHEST PAID Athelete without endorsements, why waist your time when it goes against exactly what he stated, why go and sign a contract and then be beholden to some brand like a slave having to jump when they say jump, he's his own man.

The villian image sells, he already stated that is why he came up with this persona.

How many people do you think can associate with ANY millionare boxers lifestyle. Do you think you can associate with Pacs lifestyle? NOPE

floyd got his demographic nailed, IMO. that "swaggy" flashy demographic eat him up. although they cant relate, they fantasize about that lifestyle.

floyd is to his demographic the way kardashians are to their demographic.

their fans tune in because they want to see the lifestyle they are selling. period.

sponsorships work well with smaller named fighters. they are walking billboards. fighters get paid a few hundred to a few thousand to "wear" the brand. in many cases, they sign exclusive contracts.

floyd is one of the few top echelon athletes that most sponsors cant afford. only the top brands can make it worth it for floyd (reebok, nike, etc.).... but i honestly dont think floyd fits their brand position. thats why pac picked up most of the endorsements instead of floyd. brands see pac as a better investment due to his "hero" persona and worldwide appeal.

floyds the highest paid athlete, by a HUGE margin... sponsors & endorsements might be chump change to him. especially compared to the money he makes ********.

[Los Zetas]

Openly going strip clubs, ********, eating junk food and hitting your baby mamma just isn't a good look.

He is a seller, but he should do his own things like shoes etc... big companies don't really want to have people like that. You need squeeky clean image, even if you're not.

No sponsors? What's this then?

[1believer]

He chooses not to have any sponsors so he can build his own brand TMT. Anyone who thinks he's not sponsored because nobody wants to sponsor him is an idiot.
