Mayweather in London upset woman doesn't know him

[humanpunchingbg]

Reminds me of Kanye West in France. Another huge Black American ego deflated in Europe.

do people really thinks floyd is more known than djokovic? tennis players, are playing around the world almost the whole year. i even think that schumacher, even though he is retired, is more known that floyd.

LOL at let me google your name. WTF!

This dude is so insecure.

1) No they didn't know. They watched the fight and forgot who the American guy he fought against was. "Mayweather? Which one was that? That black American guy? Which one."

It takes more then a fight to make a name stick. When the name sticks that's when you are a global star/star.

And I said two years, maybe now after Canelo they know him as the guy who fought De La Hoya and Marquez.



Twitter/Instagram/Facebook....thanks. Thats what I figured and that is all I wanted to know.

So twitter roughly used by 20% of Internet users. With US second to China with over 10% of global internet users. More than double that of the next in line.

Do the math and see how insignificant one's twitter following is as a mark of your global celebrity?

Also any idea how much something like twitter can skew search engine results? Every time there is a tweat which is then grows exponentially by re-tweets etc




Buddy I live in Toronto, and have for the last 13 years. A good half of my friends knows who Federer Nadal and Djokovic are and everyone knows the Williams sisters, and they are far from rich. And this is from a circle of friends who are immigrants from all over the place who don't even watch hockey. Stereotypical common Canadian knows more about tennis then you might think.

Milos Raonic is talked about all over TSN/CBC/CITY TV, outside of NHL players he is probably the most recognizable athlete in Canada! And he plays tennis.

We have the Rogers Cup for Christs sake...

It ain't hockey but everyone knows tennis.


And lastly I don't need to give you any stats. It's all common sense really.

Boxing even though a global is still a minor sport. So the chances of any boxer what so ever being known globally on a significant scale is very slim. So Mayweather being an American boxer who only fights in US and has zero endorsements is pretty much zero.

Tennis is a huge sport world wide, in Europe and in America and in South America. So just about any tennis player will be more known than a boxer, and the elite tennis players will most defentely take up the ranks of some of the most recognized names globally from any sport.

You're kidding yourself if you think Mexicans dont know who Mayweather is...If it was simply ''that black american guy'' it wouldn't be one of the biggest and highest selling fight of all time. They knew Mayweather was a big name and a threat to De La Hoya. It had nowhere near as much hype with the mexican crowd when De La Hoya was fighting Mosley, Whitaker or Hopkins. Lets be serious now.

And forget about twitter/facebook, etc if you want to just take a look at the hits on google which is a worlwide site.

And like i said you cant use your own experience as a fact. I've been in Canada for the past 13 years too (7 years in Ottawa and 6 in Montreal) Most of my friends knew Roger Federer even if they didnt follow tennis. Most of them didnt know Djokovic though. His name is just not on the same level as other tennis players like Williams sisters, Sharapova, etc.

Saying tennis is huge in Canada is an overstatement. It comes behind basketball, soccer, baseball, football and hockey.

How is Milos Raonic more well known than Jean Pascal or Superman Stevenson in Canada? Let alone George St-Pierre or Steve Nash. Maybe even add Christine Sinclair to that group too.

the truth is fraud jr is a forgettable athlete. he really doesn't have exciting fights that fans will remember.

[bojangles1987]

Djokovic who?? lol at you thinking hes more well known than Floyd

And most of the people that know who Pacquiao is have also heard of Floyd.

The funniest part is all the haters in this thread thinking Floyd was mad at the lady. He was just joking around in that clip. Theres nothing that screams anger in that clip

This is hilarious. This guy can't handle that there are a lot of people who don't know and don't give a **** who Floyd Mayweather Jr. is.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Why's he in London?

he's letting lookin for people that dont know who he is

[-MAKAVELLI-]

This woman is a hater and probably does know who Floyd is. She is just there to provoke him. Why is she even there standing in front of him if she doesn't know him? That's some unnecessary bull**** right there. She probably saw him and cameras around and wanted to provoke Floyd so she would get hit and she could sue. Plan failed.

this one hurting

[bojangles1987]

this one hurting

They can't handle it. It's unbelievable. They are so shocked people don't know who Floyd is that they stretch so far as to think it's some hater trying to get a lawsuit out of him.

"Me know Usain Bolt & Mike Tyson, me don't know you" "I like big fight, I like exciting fight"

Why does Floyd care. Floyd is going to retire and then come back again. He is obsessed with being in the spot light.
