    i like the new floyd but the ******* in him makes me want to watch him but i must admit he is trying to market himself and doing well and i can't blame him but... i think him being a ******* helps him sell tickets and if he stops he mite not sell as well

    Floyd being the villian definately helps him sell his fights. I think many people are willing to pay to see a fight if they believe Floyd might lose.

    He handle himself well on HBO tonight. He even apologize to HBO crew from the incident.... although I thought Max didn't handle the situation well.

    I disagree, I think the new nicer Floyd helps him sell more tickets and reaches to a broader crowd, an example being the Marquez fight. I think his new strategy from here on forward is to follow DLH's steps and wear the promoter hat and not speak badly of anyone. His agenda will be to market a fight with any fighter he picks as a competitive fight for various reasons.

    None of the version of floyd have worked for me because i hadn't buy any of his PPV, and I think I don't think i will buy one either from him, well maybe if he fights cotto or Pacman if He beats Cotto. If He fights Mosley or other fightr is a no buy for me.

    He doesn't need to be a constant ******* and disrespect everybody to sell tickets. Always being the bad guy is not easy and it gets tiresome because you alienate some fans.

    Floyd probably got to the point where he wants to have the kind of fans DLH and Hatton have. At his press conferences and pre fight weigh-ins, it always seems that his opponent has most of the fans and not many support Floyd.
