    If more fighters today had Mayweathers business sense, personality, showmanship and charisma, would boxing be more then the niche sport its become?

    if all fighter today would have floyd's business sense then we would not see great match-ups like barrera-morales, marquez-vazquez, etc... and yeah we would see less fights like boxers fighting only once a year to generate interest. boxing would die or could survive just like the WWE.

    Mayweather is a arrogant loudmouth that trashtalks based on insulting, I prefer the tongue in the cheek trashtalking, I wish a guy like hamed was around today, that would be fun.

    Yeah Hamed was brilliant, always made me laugh and most of the times his opponents found him funny too, even when they never wanted to:D

    Great boxer yes, great personality and charisma?! jesus you must have a seriously warped sense of humanity :-(

    You think flinging dollar bills round the club like a dickhead is showboating? Hardly Cassius Clay

    His business sense is one of the reasons this sport is dying on its arse, unfortunately it seems to be rubbing off on the younger generation of fighters like Bradley. Ducking is order of the day :-(

    Watch the video. The "Money" persona is an act. Floyd is the mastermind behind things like 24/7. :patsch

    Him flinging around dollar bills, and his arrogance is obviously working. There is a reason why no fighter sells PPV's like Mayweather sells PPV's. Open your eyes.

    Yeah and it aint his personality thats for sure. You've been brainwashed by your hero, step out of the darkness and into the light my child

    Its a sad day for boxing, and for mankind in general when this silly little turd of a man is considered a great and charismatic personality :think
