    Did Floyd get into trouble several times for hitting and abusing women? Yes.
    Where am I showing hatred? Am I ****** for pointing that out?
    Is this a major issue or something that should be swept under the rug?
    Do people like athletes who do that? Do most people want to pay money to watch athletes who live like that?
    The reality is without a popular fighter like Manny, Oscar, Canelo or Hatton who had large fan bases, Floyd makes less money. Now before you start jumping to ridiculous conclusions and go into racist mode, remember that this has nothing to do with flesh color or ring skills. This is about drawing power and how beloved a fighter he is. You see Floyd is not in the same genre as Ali, Leonard, Hagler, Foreman. These are popular fighters who transcended race and transcended boxing. People wanted to see their fights no matter who they fought. Floyd cannot hold a candle to them.

    If you think that fans will want to see more of Floyd's fights then ever before and that he is a stellar human being, maybe you need to reconsider your notion of who has hatred and who is ******. I really don't think you know, and I quote you, WTF you're talking about.

    I just wasted 5 minutes typing this because you won't get it.
    No you wasted five mins typing it because I didn't read it lol.

        Floyd achieved far more than he ever dreamed he could. Top 30 atg much more then his father or uncle managed!
        So enjoy retirement and spend wisely.

            As soon as I see they're in their feelings I do the same thing. I'm going to guess the thread is full of people bashing him. Down-low fans.

              If you don't enjoy watching Floyd, simply because you don't understan what he is doing.

                    Hope he's true 2 his word.....he's done it all...A few years ago I saw him at a casino the monday after a title defense and his hands were still horribly swollen...that's 1 thing he diesn't need 2 worry about any further..
