    but thats not true. you don't see "*****s" going around talking about manny being unfaithful to his wife or being an egomaniac, whereas most *******s pull out all the personal ****.. most mayweather fans give credit to pacquiao in regards to his legacy, the ones that dont are idiots. however no ******* ever gave any credit to mayweather for his career.

    Lance is the type of "intellect" that likes to avoid debate and ONLY hear from people who share his opinion. Anyone with half an ounce of REAL intellect sees the huge flaw in this logic.

    You got to love that moron Lance Uttercunt.

    I'm not part of any group and I sure don't remember saying anything like that about you. It just bugs me when people make assumptions about others they never met. Floyd is the only boxer I've ever met so I can't speak for others. When someone says he's an ******* but has never had any dealings with it confuses me. If you had said he stiffed you on a autograph, then OK I get your point. But that's not the case. Some people put on an obvious act and it just amazes me how people so easily feeds into it. But I guess I should just follow my own advice and keep it movin' because like I said, its exactly what keeps his bank account full.

    its completely true, roger. ive been here since before there were *****s or *******s, ive read it all. the only reason i ever heard of pacs alleged affairs, is because *****s kept repeating it over and over, i never read it on a legitimate news site. not saying it aint true, just stating who brought it to my attention. most mayweather fans DONT give pac his due, some do, most dont. *******s dont give floyd his just, i dont expect them to, thats why they are *******s and not pac fans.

    maybe you arent a fanboy, i could have been mistaken. i will tell you this, youre walking a fine line. you dont have to mind your business all the time, nor should you. just dont complain when others take the liberties you like to enjoy.

    The reason Floyd is not that popular in America is for the simple reason Boxing is not popular in America.

    He is a great boxer with a hated persona. That is a recipe for success. The problem is Boxing is not the Sport it was once. Theres a reason why a nobody like Chael Sonnen is more popular than any boxers at any given time here in the States. MMA is becoming huge. Heck, Danica Patrick is more popular than any active boxer why? Because motorsports is a huge sport.

    Just look at the sports in any country you live in. Where does boxing rank in popularity?

    i disagree chimba, pacs popularity is testament to the contrary. the reason floyd isnt popular is because people see him as an actual ******* instead of an act, like ric flair. maybe he is too good of an actor, lol.

    Pacs not that popular esp. in North America. Its not his fault. Its the sports whos been reeling since the heydays of the HWs and DLH.

    NFL

    and then the rest.



    NBA
    MLB
    NHL
    Motorsports
    Golf
    NCAAB
    NCAAF
    MLS
    Tennis

    Those are all ahead of Boxing. Some can argue that Usain Bolt is more popular than both.

    ive yet to see the list of celebs that lined up to fawn over and get a pic with bolt. i dont think my mother has ever watched a sporting event and she knows who paquiao is.

    America doesn't have a problem with athletes who are assholes (John McEnroe, Kurt/Kyle Busch and alot of other NASCAR drivers, Curt Schilling, Roger Clemens) or lack humility (Brett Favre, Lance Armstrong, Phil Mickelson, Pete Rose, etc).

    As a matter of fact, America LOVES those things.

    They just tend to hate the Black versions of that. Sad, but true.

    Until they are gone then they realize and romanticize.

    Much like everyone now swears Ali was loved.

    Co-sign, I remember one of my Uncle's telling me how so many hated him and it just changed over night after his hey-day was over.
