    Mayweather didn't recieve this type of adulation that Pacquiao is getting

    wtf is going on? I would have thought not disclosing his injury and going in not 100 percent in a ppv that had the majority of people rooting for him and even booing Floyd when he got announced the winner, would leave a sour taste, I know this Pac Bradley fight is not going to do good numbers on ppv, but whats baffling me is when I checked on social media both times nobody seemed to care if Floyd retired after Berto, you had some really vulgar messages saying good riddance you cherry picker, or good boxing is better with out Floyd he is boring, wife beater, etc.

    But when the news was on not one called him a legendary fighter that will be Missed, now Pac after his anti gay comments and the bad performance against Floyd, all of a sudden he gets a gift over Bradley, and he has the audience standing ovation crying, rooting and missing him, social media blew up saying a true legend, you will be missed Manny, the majority of comments were positive and the news outlets on TV were saying one of the greatest has just retired, a true legend in Manny Pacquiao the peoples champ.

    This makes me wonder are the Floyd fans just psyching themselves they told me that Floyd is more loved than Manny and will be missed when he retires? I remember they would say nobody will miss Manny, everyone is mad at manny after he hid his shoulder injury, and with the anti gay comments, they said 10 years from now when both are retired Floyd will be loved like Ali, and Pacquiao will not be loved or remembered.

    But its strange because every great athlete is missed, look at Kobe this man is getting ovations, Jeter, Ali, even Tyson was missed and praised when he retired.

    But Floyd fights berto and nobody gave two chits, nobody, its pretty messed up and makes me feel bad for Floyd, this guy just beat Pacquiao and retired unbeaten but instead you got people saying good riddance.

    I spoke with a few of the Floyd fans and they told me that its racism, they said this just shows it they wanted people to hate Pacquiao after the shoulder injury and after the anti gay comments but are mad that the majority of people didn't turn their back on him. That his fans stayed true, they told me if that were Floyd nobody would forgive him if he said that about gays.

    They claim its racism, but I don't know if its racism or maybe social skills? Floyd doesnt know how to win people over he is pretty much antisocial and awkward, I believe Floyds biggest mistake was crying and whining, people hate whiners who complain and act envious or jealous. So they will hate you automatically, doesnt have much to do with race, you dont ever see Pacquiao crying racism, or saying nobody loves me why does he get more loe than him, he just laughs and shows really no hurt from negative comments, I think that is what people respect in a man. If Floyd talked trash like Ali but had Alis masculinity and charisma nobody would really hate him, Floyd doesn't know his personality is just not appealing he has no charm to him.

    So I think it comes down to personality more than race, since Pacquiao is a foreigner and non white.

    Is it because of Image? Floyd looks selfish and materialistic, while Pacquiao gives back to his people and fights in an exciting style looking for KO's and doesn't boast or brag throwing money around?

    What do you guys think why Pacquiao is receiving more love than Floyd in retirement? Is it because Floyd is just unlikable or is it racial?

            1. Name one african american athlete that DOMINATED his/her sport that was not hated DURING their prime.

            Its a lot harder than you think.

                  Jordan. Ray Leonard. Walter Payton (probably a bunch of football players, but idk them). Tiger Woods til he f#cked all those white wimmenz. I don't think many people hated Joe Louis. I think there's actually lots of guys. The tougher angle of this equation is dominating their sport cuz not a lot of guys are dominating.

                    He made it all up by putting on a great performance vs Bradley. Boxing is about what have you done lately.

                    He should refrain from crazy comments like "gays are worse than animals" in the future though or he'll have to return to the ring to remind us why we can't stay mad at the ***er.
