    If anything I think he would sell less. A lot of people tune in and pay to watch him lose because he's black and arrogant with the "Money" persona. If he were white and was still the "Pretty Boy" persona he'd be more beloved than any fighter but he more than likely wouldn't make as much money as he does now. He would still be the #1 draw but most people wouldn't pay for his style to watch him win as much as they do now to watch him lose.

        He'd probably have David beckham attraction where all the girls drop their panties and love off his family but no he would have the same money.

            Really? How so?........


            Furthermore, I dont 'tune in' at all because I'm not dumb enough to pay for his bi-annual fiascos, and even if I did I would want to see him get the snot beaten out of him because he's a prick, not because of his colour.

                Boxing doesn't have the platform that those sports have. Floyd had one chance to make his mark with 24/7, and he capitolized BIG TIME. Imagine he went the good guy role. After that boring win no one would give a crap anymore. Casual fans I mean.
                It's almost to the point that Floyd wouldn't have needed to chase Oscar.

                "Pretty Boy" Floyd Matthews Jr, son of fringe contender Floyd Matthews and hailing from the Matthews fighting family, would've got the "Golden Boy" push from the jump.

                You add in winning a world championship within his first two years s a professional and being considered, p4p, one of the best fighters in the sport before four years as a pro, and he'd be a license to print money.

                  Think about it. Good guy, then not the highest paid, but he gets some subway commercials. Bad guy, highest paid, but no endorsements. He played it perfectly. HES THE HIGHEST PAID ATHLETE!
                  You're forgetting the biggest hang up; he was a black "good guy".

                    He's too ****** to be one. He'll go broke not long after his career is over. For his fan boys sake though he better become a multi-billionaire, who else is going to give them free hand outs?
