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

[The Big Dunn]

He couldn't even sell out his home town like Crawford is doing now, and the commentating team were saying how he's the best, but how is he going to capture the audiences attention like the past greats. This was during the Gatti fight I believe.

Then Oscar came along, and 24/7 was the answer to that question.

Floyd needs to thank Oscar, and 24/7. Really, he needs to thank Oscar, because he wouldn't get the same ratings with out his opponent being Oscar.

HBO created 24/7, not ODH. Floyd stole the show, not ODH. FLoyd won the fight, not ODH. ODH only fought Floyd because he was the #1 p4p fighter and he wanted to make the most money possible.

You don't thank the potato farmer when you make fries at your job do you? DO you praise the elephant for ****ting when you are cleaning it up after the parade? You get the point.

Damn, some of the excuses are hilarious from the Floyd fans. There is no to twist it, if it wasn't for Oscar, Floyd wouldn't be where he is today period. Ask yourself honestly, if he didn't face De La Hoya, would he be as famous like he is now? I'm not saying Floyd should kiss his ass every time he sees him but I am saying why talk **** about someone when they are having a lot of issues? Talk about kicking someone when they are down. I shouldn't be surprised though.

Yes he would have, period, stop hyping Oscar like he's the 2nd coming of Ali, he's not.
Most casual boxing fans don't even know who Oscar is outside the May and Pac fight.

A boxer is gonna rise regardless if he fights and stays on top long enough.
But he does have to thank HBO, thats who is more responsible.

[Larry the boss]

since when does fighting oscar make you a ppv star?

mosley
hopkins
vargas
trinidad

none of those guys became ppv kings. why is that?


mayweather's talent and fake persona made him a ppv king.

stop trying to make sense and let them do their daily Floyd bash

Lmfao. Are you serious? Oscar had the record for most PPVS for a fight with Felix Trinidad for a long time. Get out of here you dumbass casual fan.

Floyd did a great job making himself a villian and making the hip hop community love him but Oscar gave him the platform. Can't deny that.

And Now Floyd has way more ppv sells then oscar with less ppv fights and owns the top 2 records

No one said Oscar did not give him the platform but he did not make him at all...Floyd earned what he has..wtf would he kiss Oscars ass..All Oscar does is hate on him..Oscar is bitter as **** of Floyd and now Canelo is as well

[Larry the boss]

Like someone asked previously that was ignored..why didnt Mosley or Hopkins become huge draws??they beat Oscar way before Floyd

[Wolfie*]

Would Manny??? Manny was not selling big ppv's until he beat Oscar as well man...only difference is Floyd was smart he beat Oscar and took those Mexican dates from him

Haha. Even Manny became more famous because of Oscar even though Manny was on PPV more times than Floyd pre- de la hoya. Don't twist things, I'm not a manny fan but Floyd greatly benefited by fighting de la hoya. No denying that.
