Why do people care so much that others don't like Maywether?

[FlatLine]

It's Floyd's ducking which is problem, he obviously ducked Khan several times as we all recognize by now very clearly, ducked a prime Pacquiao (only fought him after the Marquez KO), ducked Williams, Wright, Margarito and prime Cotto. The guy really is a very clever cherrypicker and some of us can easily detect it, others have difficulty accepting it.

Even the Canelo fight was at a catchweight, he made JMM jump up 2 weight divisions, only fought Mosley after Mosley was inactive for nearly 2 years, only fought Hatton after Collazo nearly beat him! The list goes on... His entire record is an illusion..

[IMDAZED]

You need to ask yourself why do people who claim they don't like him feel the need to talk about him all the time? Like this thread. If someone is a fan of a fighter, you expect them to like him and talk about him.

I bet this thread is probably filled with the same posters badmouthing him. Why don't you guys just come out and admit you're closet fans? Either that or the weirdest group of women I've ever encountered.

I remember watching a replay of Floyd's like 3 or 4th fight and even at that point Floyd was making comments about how fights need a good guy and a villain and he has chosen the role of the villain.

Floyd played this role his entire career, did things to intentionally piss people off his whole career, reaped all the benefits of people wanting to see him lose and made hundreds of millions in the process. HE NEVER WANTED TO BE LIKED bc it benefitted him. Now that he's done with all of that, he wants to be loved.

Yet for some reason his fans are confused and need reasons why people don't like him.

(btw I was a Floyd fan for a while. Then I turned like 18 and he became too childish for me)

I agree, his fans get too defensive, more so than any other fan group in boxing history. Having said that, Floyd has always wanted to be loved, he was talking about not getting credit or respect from the fans and media and so on even before he fought Baldomir. Floyd's always had a victim's mentality.

Boxing is about fanboys these days it seems. No place more so than the internet.
Fighters not only have fan boys, but so do managers, promotion companies and TV channels. And in their eyes, if you're not a cheerleader, you are a 'hater'.

[KLockard23]

The internet produces a lot of annoying and insecure fanboys for almost anything, it seems.

Based on a great number of Youtube comments alone, it does seem like most of Mayweather's most ardent and passionate defenders are typically black guys with an inferior complex and a tendency to blame their own failures at life "on the white man" and so they like living vicariously through Floyd as a result.

Lotta these guys spend more time detracting their hated fighters than celebrating the guys they're fans of.

Then they wonder why people want them to stfu with the constant negativity

this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think a lot of the defense comes from the 8+ years of constant daily threads/comments on every internet article/youtube vid from the time the first negotiations between him n pac failed until 2015. there were threads daily, even when some of us tried to talk boxing about other names, his name came up, then the crack head, no balls, coward, ducker, woman beating, monkey, kool aid comments can only be posted so long before someone says something about it. You guys are like the villain but turn into the victim when called out. A lot of Floyd fans go overboard but ive been on this site for some years as well as boxing sites and I have to say the anti Floyd fans for a period of 8+ years went crazy on Floyd in every thread and made topics daily about him. while there are some fan boys some of us were fans of Floyd due to his skill and we can relate to him... we were called names for no reason for the sole purpose of appreciating his skill. I have personal experiences so a lot of the defense comes from those constant attacks! and now its only ****** blacks with no education who support him, do u think reading these things don't bother US at times? its very unnecessary but its how some people roll so.... Lets not leave that out of the equation.

Who are you referring to? Most of the Floyd fans on NSB do not care that others do not like him. All we do is ask why do those that do not like him keep making threads about him, especially since he has retired.

What is really weird is that people that do not like Floyd create a thread, some posters refute the claims of the TS with facts, then those posters are called fanboys or they are "defending" Floyd. NSB has a lot of posters that get very angry and emotional if anyone posts something about Floyd that is positive or gives him credit for an accomplishment.

I'm surprised you didn't ask why posters behave like this.
