Very true statement from Floyd Mayweather jnr.

"The thing people need to realise money mayweather is a character and thats what these fighters need to learn about business, if you have a character then you have something to sell, alot of these fighters don't have nothin to sell cause they don't have no personality"
This is very true and i think people who hate on Mayweather should just realise that he's only trying to sell tickets and he realises that getting so much hate does that so the haters are actually playing right into Mayweather's hands because they will order the PPV on may 1st and cheer on Mosley as they religiously hate on Mayweather and pray he finally gets knocked out, which is why Mayweathers 0 is so important to him, as if people have already seen him get knocked out, why pay to see it again?

 

PBF knows how to market himself and most people here can't separate that from the real person. Love him or hate him PBF knows how to sell a fight.

 

I know its a character.

I dont dislike Mayweather because of it.

I dislike him cause his fights are dull

 

It's part character , part real. The fact is he doesn't deliver on what he markets.

 

How though, he never says im gonna get in their and knock that guy out in an explosive fight, no he constantly brags about how little punishment he take and how he is going to win while taking very little punishment, which he does deliver on.

 

He sure is special...

 

there is no doubt that PBF is the best at marketing his own image that I've ever seen in action and that's partly why his actual ability is overrated both among his nuthuggers and his haters.

 

its a little lesson form WWE wrestling...

Floyd in real life is actually humble, and he is friends with guy you think would hate him.

 

Floyd's character invites disdain from others who want to see him lose. So floydettes should not be surprised or act so defensive when other posters show dislike of floyd as this is exactly what he is trying to get in order to sell fights.

 

Duh.

Every boxer puts on a show.

Mayweather is acting like he is Ali or something....

get on the cover of a superman comic and i'll give a **** about your "character"

 

True.

 

It used to be a character, now it is a part of him.

 

not true,he said the de la hoya fight would be a massacre & he'd ko oscar.

 

This is actually a very good point, by people attacking the people who attack mayweather, they are actually going against what he is trying to do which is get people to hate him and buy his PPV's to see him get knocked out.I don't even think Mayweather would want those people to defend him.

 

There is obviously going to be some exceptions buy generally he really doesn't say that he is going to knock this person and that person out. He is constantly bragging about how little punishment he takes in fights, which is admitting that he doesn't take many risks.
