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

[Rath]

DLH didn't fight Mayweather to help him out. He did it for personal gains, to make money and win. Why should Mayweather be grateful?

Agree, yet still he is just being Floyd

[Robbie Barrett]

Really? Ok. I'll play: because if the positions had been reversed, Floyd would not have taken that fight.

You know this do you? You going to use Pacquiao as a comparison? Difference is Mayweather accepted Hoya's demands and made the fight Pacquiao ran away from a ****ing test.

[Lords]

I've seen on multiple occasions where Floyd was bad mouthing Oscar when he was having his drug issues(classy) and the fishnet incident as well. How come Floyd isn't more nicer to De La Hoya? If it wasn't for Oscar, Floyd would be still doing 300,000 PPV buys like he did against Baldomir. 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.

Wrong. Floyds skills put him on the map. People started noticing the talent that he had and the rest is history. Even if he didn't fight Oscar at that time, he would still be where he's at.

all we do here is speculate

i never said he wasn't awesome

my point is that in his calculus, security trumps glory

He did take "the" fight his name was Canelo...

Nah. Not havin' that. Imo, it ain't the same. Canelo fought 2lb south of the championship weight and was not fully developed as a fighter at that point.

Floyd will be smart and not entertain the rematch at any weight over 154 regardless of the title at stake.

I maintain that Oscar that fought Shane would have won that fight.

[El-blanco]

Oscar didn't make him famous. Floyd was on his way, regardless. Great skill and being an ******* go a long way.

This is boxing...Floyd dont need to do shlt......Im pretty sure at the time he gave some type of props...but why do he need to kiss his ass for? I wouldnt

[KillaMane26]

But Oscar did take Manny and Floyd to the next level as far as money and fame...but they both would have been 1 p4p regardless.

Same way how Maidana after fighting Floyd x2 has made his name bigger, without those fights he would be fighting some b level fighter
