Spence gets LOTS of USA love...why didnt Floyd?

[TheUptownKid]

U remember pretty boy Floyd?

[soul_survivor]

Spence gets love in the USA anf outside of it because he's a stand up guy. Floyd was not loved in the US and outside because he was not a stand up guy. It's really that simple.

Why was Floyd not a stand up guy at the time? Pre 2007 I mean.

The younger "pretty boy" Floyd was Mr. Star Power. He had a fairly magnetic personality in the tradition of Ali and Leonard.

But that was also a different time. Different media.

He didn't have any star power. If the Oscar fight never happened Floyd would gave been as monumental a waste of money for hbo as RJJ.

Floyd gets more love than spence.....sure he is polarizing but floyd gets plenty of love. Way more than spence. Casuals barely know spence.

Yup he gets alot of love from Ellerbe

Floyd would have never had the balls to fight in someone's backyard like Spence and Crawford did.

Kell Brook sold out! You never really see american boxing fans, travel to support their fighters!

Americans don't even got passports to travel lol. I think its something like 3/4ths or 2/3rds of Americans don't even have one. Plus we probably got the most xenophobic people of any country with excess cash to travel so a lot of those cats with passports only got it cuz they got talked into some trip 3 or more years ago that they hated & never plan to travel again.

Point taken & you aren't wrong doe.

Randomly since you bring it up I, an American with a passport, would love to travel for a fight outside of the US one day. The UK gots a great atmosphere so I wouldn't hate going to a Matchroom fight there at some point. And I'm looking to go to Mexico for a few months sometime this year or early next year I think & I'm definitely going to a fight there if I do. Might have to catch one of those Devin Haney across the border bouts or find out who's the next Canelo Alvarez on the way up.

Is that because Floyd Mayweather is a cuckold?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

it has to be racism
Oh look another butthurt floyd hater.....
Different eras my guy.
Spence doesn't go around beating women or flaunting his wealth. The kid is humble, educated, and well spoken unlike Floyd.
