How popular is Floyd in America and the rest of the world?

Well, in the UK, Floyd is just known as that loud-mouth American who beat Ricky Hatton a few years ago.

 

So you speak for the whole of the UK. God help us.

 

Here maybe 1% (probably even less) of the people know who he is, even Pac isn't very well known here (10-15% I guess).

Even old Holyfield has a bigger name recognition here, and other American sportsmen.

 

no he is right! from what ive heard

my mother thought he was called 'Sunny', i then told her and she said 'oh yeah i knew it was sommat to do with the weather'

 

At least in America he's an iconic person for burning money in public.

 

Floyd is barely known in the UK

 

He's quite popular in the UK, there's always a big buzz when he's in town.

Floyd is popular around the world for being a coward

 

Amongst boxing fans, of course.

But the other 99% - those who don't give two shits about boxing - don't even know, or care, who he is. Whereas Khan, Woods, Federer, Beckham, Hamilton, Tyson, etc, are household names here that even 80 year old grandmas would know and recognize.

 

Correction, a classless coward.

 

that is in vegas and they are american and there are about 7 people singing!!!

 

If you follow sports even casually you know who Floyd Mayweather is in America. Dancing with the stars, WWE, numerous late night talk shows ect. One of the more popular sports people.
