Having said that I know they don't like the fact he's taken risks and beaten the guys they demanded he fight and predicted he'd lose to in Walters and Rigo (after picking Russell to beat him for obvious reasons) and keep moving the goal posts and are demanding he got up 4-5 divisions for his NEXT fight (shows the insecurity and how good they really believe he is). They also don't like a fighter to be entertaining as it ****s with their narratives and they don't like an entertaining fighter.
Imagine a fighter that's entertaining, talented, great defense whilst showing dazzling and creative offense and is taking challenges no other fighter has and they demanded that is actually being talked about and enjoyed on a fairly large scale? That's too much for a fan base that wants every boxing show to fail, every telecast to bomb and the sport to go away with their hero.
