That's his way of showing love to Floyd. If you take notice, he makes way more threads about Floyd than all the so-called Floyd fans.

There has been a bit of a bandwagon effect. People that don't even follow boxing are claiming to be "fans" of his, everybody loves a winner I guess.

I think it is hip to be a FMJr fan. Nothing wrong with it IMO, after all he is the highest payed Athlete in the world. I would not have ever payed attention to boxing had it not being for Floyd Mayweather Jr. I think he attracts new fans to the sport of boxing. So in a way, he is carrying the sport. All credit to Floyd.

ya i think it is, its funny not just to long ago in 09,10 he was hated by the world,from youtube, during the whole Pac phenomena and espn talking so much **** about him he was the definition of the villain during that time. I did notice now he is being more loved now, even by the same people who were ****ing on him before. A lot of fake sports analysts on big networks and celebrities out there.

He was kept on the backburner for years, was always "kind of" a fan and realllly like his talent but then he was stuck fighting Bruseles, Ndou, etc. then within a couple years was one of the most hated athletes on the planets.

Now, he is getting ovations at games, during his intros, during cameos. Anyone else a bit weirded by this. I believe he earned it definitely, but I feel funny about all this Mayweather love.

I would say it's the other way around. It's hip to dislike him.

It just takes time and longevity.,ll

When Floyd first hit the scene their was no way he was going to be a star back then with prime oscar, Tito, Shane, Roy, Lennox, Tyson, Holyfield being the most talked about stars, but eventually they all faded away and slowly Floyd moved up the superstar rankings till he was number 1
