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

[junior gong]

ODH didn't put Floyd on the map, ODH ignored floyd's challenges for years. WHen he finally decided to fight Floyd, Floyd's antics, anger and arrogance used to sell the fight on 24/7 made him a star.

A platform given to him by Oscar, so no Dunn, just no.

Oscar didn't hand Floyd anything. Say what u want about him but he went out there and earned it. The guy has been a great fighter for a decade and a half. Him making it big had very little to do with oscar in the grand scheme of things. The whole idea that he autos be grateful for something he earned with his own sweat is only something that would be discussed among idiots on a boxing Web site.

Honestly, this is a female like question. Well why aren't you grateful!? Like his skill didn't have anything to do with it or what he had done to that point. Oscar in such a giving way sought out Floyd whom nobody in this world knew and said "you know what, I wanna give you the opportunity of a lifetime, even though you've done nothing to deserve it"

24/7 was not given to Floyd by ODH. it was created by and given to both fighters by HBO to help promote the fight. ODH was supposed to be the star but Floyd stole the show, made it an Emmy winner, and made himself a star.

He's envious. Plain and simple.

He see's how Oscar has a successful promotional company and is making millions without even having to fight, whereas although Floyd is rich, he still feels like a circus animal that has to entertain the public in order to get a check.

Gratefulness is a "rara avis" -- it occurs with great men only... Floyd is still just a boy (enfant terrible).

To the mainstream, Oscar may have put Floyd on the map.

To boxing die-hards....Floyd whipping on Chico did.

It doesn't matter what or who boxing fans know, mayweather is where he is now because of the Oscar fight. Even before Floyd was ridiculed for not facing the best and now he is ridiculed in front of a bigger crowd...floyd should be grateful for that.

its a shame grown men act like this. sad part is they dont know how pathetic they sound. as if oscar rolled over and let floyd beat him. as if both guys didnt make a huge amount of money off each other. but floyd should be greatful to oscar for habing the skill to beat him and for giving him his biggest ppv to date by more than duble any other one in the past. the absurdity of it all...

At the same time you must give Floyd credit. He won the fight and moved on to fight the likes of Hatton, Mosley, Cotto, Canelo and win those fights as well.

Had he lost he wouldn't be in the same position he's in today.

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.

Then didnt even give the guy a rematch. Floyd "retired"

Mayweather is a damn good fighter and he earned the Oscar fight with his good victories in the ring. Why should he be grateful to Oscar for fighting him? Oscar didn't fight Mayweather as a favor to Floyd. Oscar fought him because it was a huge money fight an Oscar was paid much more than Floyd. Floyd isn't famous because he fought Oscar. Lots of guys fought Oscar and they are not famous. He is famous because he beat Oscar and so many other good fighters. Why should he like Oscar? Oscar always claimed he was robbed in his fight with Mayweather. Oscar has said Floyd will lose almost every time he fights. That is not going to make Mayweather like Oscar is it now.
