Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. be seeing a steady drop in popularity during retirement?

[daggum]

he will always be known as the guy who never fought (insert prime fighters name)

[turnedup]

I say no because take Michael Jordan for example: Even though he has been retired and out of basketball as a player for at least 15 years and yet he is still popular among fans due to his commercial appeal and product lines; Especially the Nike "Air Jordan's".

Except for three things:

1. Jordan is marketable
2. Jordan owns the biggest brand of basketball shoes in the world
3. Jordan isn't pulling publicity stunts for relevancy

So no Floyd will not remain as glamorous a name unless he finds something to truly excel about during life after boxingl. Achievements in sports are great but they like chicks you smashed ten years ago fade with time until they are brougth up again.

Floyd could have retired 5 years ago and he’d still be more popular than pacquiao. No one mentions pacquio around here unless it’s a Mayweather thread lol. All the threads are about Floyd he brings the most traffic to this website. Pacquiao had to resort to getting beat and bloodied by a school teacher on cable tv lmaoo he not even a PPV fighter anymore.

Even Floyd has to come up and say some dumb shlt like hes gonna fight in the MMA

^^It’s called promoting yourself illiterate Pacroid fan. Pacquiao wouldn’t know about that he lets his slave owner Arum control him. That attention you speak of is going to net him another 100million easily and leave him with the top 6 ppvs of all time ******. Maybe if pacquiao would of promoted his self he wouldn’t have had his bank accounts garnished.

Where’s irrelevant Pacquiao?


This is what happens when Arum takes all your money and you suffer one of the most brutal kos of all the time.You have to shack up with your butt buddies.


His fan base are merely
people of his own race who worship what another mans has AKA...dlck riders.

Pacquiao fan base consists of sewer **** who smoke Shabu just like him.

you ****** piece of shlt. lollolololol STFU dummy! Do some research before you go typing yourself into dumb*** land. heheheheheee

Nope Best Boxer of his generation. In 20 years he is gonna be hype like Pernell Whitaker, and Lennox Lewis.

Is this humour?

If so I applaud your cunning wit.

Floyd isn't going to lose relevance as long as ESPN, FOX and the networks show him at sporting events and cover every social media post he makes. Floyd has shown himself to be a "social media expert" in that he knows how to make timely posts that attract a response, especially from those that do not like him.

If people could just control themselves and not respond then he'd be much less relevant. It's amazing that effect he has on those that hate him the most.

Same with Kardashians, people just dont know to ignore things they supposedly don't like

Good comparison. The same people that hate them follow them on social media so they can hate them.
******ed.

His relevance will fade in time. Eventually, he will be too old for anyone to take his hints of going UFC or making a boxing comeback seriously. If his fighters keep taking beatings like Gavril did Saturday, his relevance as a promoter will fade too.

[FeFist]

Will his popularity diminish after he stops doing the thing he's famous for? Geesh, I don't know. It's certainly a tough one.

Lmaooo and Pacquio still not on the list ******. He’s a meth smoker why would he be on the list lol. No one cares about him anymore.
What exactly was that supposed to prove you illiterate b1tch?

Nike lost so much money by signing Pacquio lmao because no one gives a **** about the 7time loser unless his name is attached to Floyd



Lol at LESS than 1million dollars. TMT clothes brought in more revenue than that.
