Why isn't Floyd Mayweather more grateful to Oscar when Oscar made him famous?

Let's be real, Oscar put Floyd on the map and made him what he is today but of course a lot of Floyd fans will deny it. Call me ****** but i wouldn't be bad mouthing someone who signs my checks.
    Bro, you know how kids are with their dads, haha! In all seriousness, floyd has been chasing what Oscar has achieved since the Olympics. Floyd never won gold, never got the love, and now promoting. Its pure jealousy that spews from Floyd's mouth when talking about Oscar.

      Why should he say thank you? He was recognised as the best fighter at the time and Oscar's most lucrative offer; he beat Oscar, despite his opponent having a referee in his pocket; he presented a personality that continued to sell well for several years. Everything he has, he worked damn hard for.

        Same way how Maidana after fighting Floyd x2 has made his name bigger, without those fights he would be fighting some b level fighter
        Both Floyd & Manny were P4P #1 by the time they fought Oscar, but without Oscar, they would both had ended up similar to Cotto/Canelo/Bradley PPV wise. Oscar put them on the national map.

          Exactly.....

          Exactly! He's jealous of Manny in the same way. Manny is beloved, he's humble, and he's a "global Icon". Floyd STILL wants that type of praise but he'll never get it. WHY? Because he's an *******!

                Since no one on this forum, including you, have first-hand knowledge of what caused the riff between ODLH and Floyd, you're not in a position to even question the effect.

                Guys on this forum are ****** squared, probably the most moronic I have ever seen gathered in one location -- Do you honestly believe they can produce a reasonable response to any questions?

                  They are the absolute gayest fan-base in any sport that I have ever witnessed.
