Mainstream fans buy May's ppvs hoping he loses. He himself isn't really a household name the way DLH or Tyson or whatever were. He is just the guy to beat in an age of very big PPVs.

I asked a casual fan if he likes Mayweather. You won't believe what he had to say.

Your friend is right. No one wants to see a guy run and not take out the other guy. The only casual fans that like Mayweather like his personality or luxurious lifestyle. I can't stand Mayweather as a fighter either and I'm not a casual.

Who cares? at the end of the day those who are his fans are going to be his fans, those who arn't fans arn't going to be fans....Why do ya'll feel the need to try to post some type of negative thread on him all day everyday?? you arn't going to make anyone stop being his fan

"Floyd Mayweather."
"Nah," he told me. "Nah. I'm like Mike Tyson. Power. I grew up watching Tyson."
"He was a good, strong brawler," I said. "But how come you don't like Mayweather?"
My buddy explained, "Because he doesn't get knockouts. The guy is all tired, and he doesn't take him out. Make it worth the sixty bucks, c'mon."
Looking a little befuddled, he added.
"I mean, he's good. He moves."
I said "Ah, okay."
...
So there you have it, fellas. That's what a casual boxing fan thinks of Money Mayweather.
He said it from an unbiased perspective. It's an interesting insight. Someone from the outside seeing it for what it is. All of us on this site are fanboys (to different degrees) and have biasness.

I myself have asked casual boxing fans and many "hate" May, not because he does not knock out opponents but because he shames his opponents, makes them look like amateurs for most of the duration of the fight. At least, in the Maidana fight, it was competitive for the 1st 6 rds, thanks in part to the cut incurred by May in the 4th. Else, the charade would have ended right there and the schooling begins.

So what if he would have said "I love Mayweather, his defensiveness, his speed, his ring generalship. However, I hate fighters like Tyson or Stevenson or Chaves, all the do is use pure aggression and power to win fights and I hate that". Would you still say he's a casual fan?
