What is the purpose of Floyd Mayweather purposely pretending he doesn't know Fighters

[hectari]

I notice he does this a lot, is this an ego thing, like he is dissing the other person, I was watching his British presser and this guy even knew who kell brook was and what hometown he is from, but I believe before he said he never knew who kell brook was.

He did the same thing with Pacquiao, he claimed he never knew who Manny was until Manny attached his name to his or something like that, and his fans kept repeating it the fans who just started following boxing in 2008 when 24/7 came on.

But there is proof that Floyd knew who Manny was, and even said that he loved Manny Pacquiao im a big fan of his he is the most exciting fighter right now, and he is number 2 p4p behind me. He was even at his fight jumping up and down in 2005.

I know he is probably doing this to act like he is superior but its embarrassing because people can see he is pretending and lying like he has no clue, a fighter who doesn't really know a fighter doesn't keep mentioning it.

He knows Rousey, he knows McGregor this dude is full of crap a paranoid observant man like that analyzes every single thing, when he goes to the casino he sees the photos he watches TV, sports ESPN.

He isn't from another country where they don't follow American culture much. He lives in Las Vegas.

He thinks it makes him appear cooler to be nonchalant but in reality it makes him seem ignorant.

He does this because he is an @$$hat

Floyd comes off as a try hard, he tries way too hard to look important.

Just say yeah I heard of the guy, haven't really watched their fights though. Because he said he never knew who kell brook was before now he knows him and the hometown he was from? Floyd was scouting that Porter Brook fight he watched it, also he watched tapes of fighters, he lies when he said he doesn't, he told Stepehn A smith that if you walk Pacquiao down he is dangerous, how else would he know that if he didn't watch tape?

[Larry the boss]

He see's himself higher then everyone else and deems them not worthy of his attention

[FLYBOY]

He tries to act as if he doesn't care, but instead it just shows his insecurity.

[Crazylegs77]

Hes just a complete idiot.

There really is no point in interviewing him because he lies and dances around questions. No direct, normal answers. Guess he gets bored and is more fun for him.

This is what I've always felt too. When in reality, it would be much "cooler" if he would simply talk about these fighters like he knows about them-- because he does. It would be awesome to hear Floyd break down the way someone fights, or tell us how he's watched them for a few years now. There's nothing wrong with being a student of the game. He clearly is one, but for some reason he acts like he isn't.

He always does this..and also purposely mispronounces names too. Just a combination of his extreme insecurity and being a piece of sht human being.
