Is it better to be loved/hated than in the middle?

You wont sell **** if you're not simple as that. How many people watch Mayweather or Naz or RJJ just to see them get knocked out. No Bradley or Ward personality will ever sell that much. That said, your style can make up for shortcomings in personality.

If you are a great athlete you will be either hated or loved

Depends, look at Rigo, he's loved and hated and can't sell a 20 seater.

Depends on what the "talk" is about & in what context it is spoken...

Regardless, all is for naught unless attention is backed up by something substantial in the ring...

32 million views in Japan isn't too bad tbh

The opposite to love is not hate. They are 2 very similar emotions. The opposite to both of them is irrelevance.

If nobody cares enough to love you or hate you, then you'll be forgotten.

You can't avoid being hated when you are popular, as you have seen and read on this forum, people hate for all different, strange, wierd, unexplainable reasons.

Most haters are ignorant anyway LOL.
