All things considered has Floyd Mayweather benefitted from the Money May Persona

Matthew 15:11

"It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

 

I could think of a "thing" or two that would defile me if it were to enter into my mouth.

 

I still dont believe he is as big of a draw as he claims. DLH was the reason for that big paperview buy as well as marquez so right now he ridin his way up there. Like if he fought Clottey he wouldnt have made the same as pacman against him. N this fight commin up alot of people like shane n would love to c floyd get shut up.

 

We need Floyd in boxing ..this is what its about ..thats why we loved the man ALI ..now Floyd may say he's the greatest of all times ...but as much as I love Floyd as a fighter ...he's does and has to remember ...who that tiltle was giving to FIRST....& nothing can take that away from ALI....Nothing...also if it wasn't for Ali ...Boxers wouldn't be making the kind of money there making now.

 

I don't care what persona he has, just ****ing fight the top guys or retire.

 

I want to believe you. Now, I just need you to find one instance for me where DLH and Marquez generated more PPV buys fighting someone else.

 

Love him or hate him, he has benefited from the Money Mayweather "Bad Guy" persona. We're all here talking about him, which is what he wants. It doesn't matter if you buy the fight to see him win, or buy it to see him lose; either way, he gets paid.

 

Of course Floyd Mayweather Jr. has benefitted from his "Money" persona. He went from making like $2-$3 million to now he is bringing in like $30-$40 million.

 

Its benefited him financially, but that's about it. Its made him hated and despised.

His fans can say that he doesnt care all they want, but I remember an exact quote from him following his win over Hatton. He stated..."I would give anything to have the love and following that Hatton gets from his fans"

 

they didnt make that much till the fought floyd but floyd went from single digits dlh been in doubles for the longest, win or lose

 

Oscar wasn't that great on PPV before he fought Trinidad.

DLH was averagubg 420,000 buys on PPV before he fought Trinidad.

Everyone needs that fight that helps them push into big time mainstream.

 

It's quite simple. In boxing PPV needs a strong A and a good B at least to do good.

Only heavyweight fights can do good without a decent B side of the fight.

Tyson is the king of PPV, DLH isn't even close.

 

Tru statement. What weight divison do you personally perfer to watch? I personally cant stand heavy weight bouts.. Well as of late like after Tyson n Lewis.

 

I don't think his popularity has benefited. His wallet has though. At the end of the day a lot people tune into, or buy his fights in order to see him get beat down. The reason? The cocky, loud mouth persona he has created for himself.

I seem to remember a few years back Bob Arum saying he simply couldn't get Mayweather on HBO. He didn't have an exciting style and no one wanted to watch him.
