    So you believe it is just a character he is playing?

    Probably if you are referring to his Gnagster-wannabe attitude, as if he lived in the lawless ghetto, it might apply. But his statements outside of that is just plain uneducated gibberism.

    Floydettes really are oblivious to anything they see that is bad with Mayweather.

    When he discredits his enemies and ATG on national TV, it is just character playing!

    Exactly, you just proved my point, you cant prove anything with PPV numbers there is no logic to it other than the revenue.

    The Klits get payed by the tv companies who then show it for free who then make a fortune of the advertiseing as litterally half the country are watching the fight.

    Different strokes

    Exactly. For Floyd vs. Hatton I had over 20 people at my place, for instance.

    If everyone is already so smart why do people who hate Mayweather continue to buy his PPV's even if they know this then, and then try and discredit the numbers he pulls in?:huh

    Because people still watch good boxing even if the fighters are obnoxious.

    Did Tyson's drawing power diminish after he bit Holyfield's ear?

    People still would watch a very good fighter fight.

    Advertising.

    Why do you think boxing is dead in USA but massive in Germany, despite the fact that USA has better fighters??

    Ill give you a little clue, PPV

    PPV killed the game over there, nobody on the street knows who fighters are cos they are not on free tv. The Klits make a fortune cos they are household names and they dont have to dance with the stars to get known.

    If I acknowledge that they have bigger fan bases than Mayweather, how am I saying there aren't any successful athletes outside of America? I said they don't have as many athletes to compete with.

    I'll post this part of my comment again:

    Therefore, they have to share the spotlight more than the international athletes. How many athletes does the Philippines even have that are popular? Who else are most these other countries going to root for?

    he has to create a catchy character. with his boring style and no power who loves to use his bicycle in fighting, he won't go this far. look at his PPV without oscar and hatton.
    LOL he even needed a rib injury and postponed the jmm fight. they gave extra seats for jmm fight LOL

    HAHAHAHAHA

    You think you are the only people who have a party on fight night??

    I have people over for every big fight, you think people in Germany dont do the same or any other country for that matter.
