Ali formula people pay to see him win people pay to see him lose he gets both Ways all the way to the bank people never demanded offense so why risk health we are the fools

Rewarded thug act illiterate talk then you all hate on GGG Ward Loma but bl&w Broner you deserve it

[Godsfly]

floyds people did SOMETHING right with his career....ur right though...not a very exciting style post gatti fight(basically his entire PPV career)...smaller division......and yet he still made more money than any other fighter in history

and the bobfather didnt have the foresight to market this guy the correct way and thought he was going to lose money if he put him in with oscar

bob is just dumb with this one. he let a guy like mayweather get away citing that he's not worth what he thinks he is (i think mayweather wanted 8 million at the time) it's just a poor move on arums part. Now a boxer in mayweather is worth triple the amount of not only arum but top rank as a whole. a arum thats been making millions since the 70's may i add. it was just a poor move on arums part. just didn't see the money making ability in mayweather. it's really insane when u look at it.

Mayweather showed that he could pick the biggest of cherries and still make a 100 million dollars. Spence, Thurman, the Charlos, Canelo, Grovelkin and all of boxing lost because you bought the fight. Boxing lost because you supported a cherry picker and an MMA white guy

you call Floyd a cherry picker yet none of the guys you listed come close to his resume

Mayweather learned his trade well and made a ton of money. Say what you will but he is the smartest to ever lace em up. Who else can we say made that kind of money while taking little damage. As far as the greatest that is open to opinion but Floyd is by far the smartest, self promoter and fantastic skill.

People hate this guy but they damn sure pay to see him perform

Could also be that he just has a lot of fans too. Just because he's hated doesn't mean he can't have a lot of fans.

I know a lot of his fanbase live and die by him. He means a lot to the black community given his backstory.

Floyd is brilliant at marketing himself. Instead of gaining fan’s love, he aimed for something much easier to get; their hatred. With him being black and this country being the us, it was easy for him to funnel the underlying racism stemmed in every white household to the image he created of being a “typical black thug”. He’s no businessman, he’s an artist.

Just had to play that tired ass card huh? Lol. So pathetic. People have far more to worry about than their color these days bum. Bet you blame the white man for you washing dishes because you dropped out of high school lol. Much easier to deal with your short comings if you can blame someone else for them I suppose. Lol

[Fanofreason]

Its the fact hed never lost and had his abrasive personality. Thats why Floyd made so much money.

Spence and Crawford do not have the personalities to get casuals attention. Neither did Ward.

Its about creating a controversial character. Tyson. Ali. Mayweather.

Broner is more well known than almost any of todays boxers. Its because of his personality.

Only difference is Broner lost his 0. However he always draws top tv ratings.

Boxers need marketing people behind them to get a script to go off of.

Does your white privelage feel threatened by my comment? Your mind is clouded by your blind hatred.

How about you actually make an adult, opposing argument rather than throw schoolyard insults at me.
