    First about the endorsements. Pacquiao gets the juicier endorsements than Mayweather, but who’s fault is that? Floyd Mayweather built this thug persona to mostly sell and hype his fights and yeah, it sure did sell his fights. As a matter of fact, most fans who go to his fights, go just to see his smug face ko’d. It worked on his fights, but on a grander scale, like in life, it simply didn’t. An Asian, not even an Asian-American endorsing American products. Floyd must have kept asking, why him?; why not me, I’m 100% American! To vent out his anger, he spews out racist rants on youtube against Pacquiao. Then he keeps on crying about why he is not given his “fair shakes”.
    Is it that hard to answer his question?

    I'm sure Floyd has a little jealousy inside. It's natural, he's the American and undefeated so why not him? Nothing he can do about it now. Too late. Keep fighting, keep winning is all.

    Floyd employed the wrong strategy to maximize his earnings. He could have been a larger than life figure had he gone to the good side.

    I doubt it. People wouldn't pay attention to him, loud mouths get attention.

    Not really. Even now he has legal issues. Imagine someone with his personality be a superstar 24/7.

    Does he really ask this?? He had his chance before his domestic violence case and you tube racist rants. He **** on himself and has no one else to blame.

    Floyd is Floyd> He knows and understands what he is doing or didn't do. Once Floyds decides to get those endorsements deals, you will see the difference in his attitude. That is only if he wants them, not every superstar or wants them.
