Mayweather bigger than Kobe

So, maybe Floyd just signed a new contract with Foot Locker. Who knows? But it isn't crazy to say that Floyd IS bigger than Kobe, look how much money Floyd generates BY HIMSELF, without the "Lakers Brand", in one night alone.

 

While it's great to see some mainstream boxing popularity, it's unsettling that the sport has an ignorant, obnoxious and hyper-materialistic representative. Compare that to Randy Couture and Lebron James for example, and it's embarrassing.

Westernized hip hop culture has brought basketball down several notches and resulted in violence, ignorance, and a destructive mentality. Mayweather isn't as bad as the Raiders or Ron Artest, but he'll still an ugly face of the sport.

It's a shame the previous 1-2-3 of Marquez, Pacquiao and Mosley couldn't cross into the mainstream. Hopefully Ward, Alexander Dirrell or Bute can, or even better but unlikely, Chad Dawson. I had high hopes for Victor Ortiz.

Mayweather is marketed towards the same goons who bring other sports down - young ghetto kids who spend their welfare money on jerseys and hats, and associate sport with gang culture. Compare that to Couture or GSP in UFC.

It's not great, but it's a start.

Now that I think about it, Arreola had incredible mainstream potential, and his demeanor is perfect for the masses. They threw him in with Vitali too soon, and Adamek was all wrong stylistically.

He could have been a true superstar, with the perfect size, heritage, and personality.

 

With all due respect Bill, how is Mayweather any worse a face of boxing than Larry Holmes or Mike Tyson was? :think
Personally, I think Floyd is genuinely one of the better poster boys for boxing ever, he represents hard work and maintains the fact that you can be your very own entrepreneur as you do what you do in boxing. First and foremost, its about making money, and if that's being "extremely materialistic", well hell.. then extremely materialistic it is, but it portrays professional boxing for what it is, a means for making money.

 

He is still young, if his hunger wasn't beaten out of him he still has a chance to rebound and gain a championship.

Heavyweight boxing does not need superstars, it needs competition. Right now, there are two heavyweights that stand alone. If only Wladimir had the competition he's been asking for, US mainstream media would appreciate his work.

 

Someone once tried to push the perfect example of a human to the world. His name was Adolf Hitler.

 

Well, the author starts by explaining not other mall has more "homosexual designer stores" then he found a big Floyd Mayweather Jr. poster. I just want to know if the poster was Floyd by himself or with Ellerbe. I guess the poster is in the right place!!!!!:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Never heard of him. Nice guy I take it?

 

That's true, it depends which side is marketed and embraced.

The image of an obnoxious thug who spends his money on cars and jewelry is easier to market to the working class than the image of a hard-working entrepreneur who gives back to his community.

This is why you see endless streams of rappers spouting the same crap, endless financial books that give no concrete advice, and endless weight loss programs - there's a proven successful formula, and no reason to stray from it. People keep buying the same ****. Based on history, it's more likely to me that the rapper thug side of Mayweather is being marketed and embraced.

 

Google him and his ideology. Then read what you wrote.

 

Dude your ridiculous, you think I'm claiming that uneducated, large Mexican men are the ideal breed, and the rest of the population should be exterminated?

This is political correctness to the absurd extreme, the kind of people with no hobbies but to fight for the rights of people supposedly being violated, fighting with more passion that even those supposedly being violated. I HIGHLY doubt concentration camp survivors feel offended by my comments.

Seriously, **** off, and don't waste my time.

 

What you are doing is pushing a perception of what you see to be ideal and right. Judging by the criteria you listed, you're not far off.

 

So I guess that if I see a poster of Malignaggi in a homosexual designer store that means he is bigger than Kobe? :rofl

 

You don't get it , don't you?
