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

There seems to be a general denial on here or maybe it's just ignorance, people seem to be of the idea that admitting Floyd is actually quite well known in the UK (maybe not a Beckham, Tyson level etc.) but well known regardless is somehow going against their previously built up dislike of Mayweather and it seems it's something they're not willing to do even if they believe it to be true.

 

He's pretty much right there. The average person didn't know him before Hatton, and not many really know anything about him now.

You can't compare with with Haye for example, let alone a footballer.

 

You should try to read a little instead of typing with them sausage fingers.atsch

 

cos its just not true! if you took a picture of floyd to any city centre in the UK and stopped 1000 random people. < 5% would know who he is

 

I have no bias either way, but he's not a massive name.

A lot of sports fans will know him, a few others may know the name, but not much about him.

Before the Hatton fight he was pretty much unknown across the board. It's hard to see if you're a boxing fan and speak to boxing fans though.

 

Why did you leave out the last line of my quote. To fit your agenda:-(

 

He's a nobody in Germany as is Pacquiao. Weightclasses below 160 are irrelevant in Germany.

 

And you've done this?:roll:

 

No one said he was on the david beckham level e.t.c. But he is still pretty popular in the UK this is a fact.

If floyd mayweather comes to england it will make news. Sky sports always covers anything to do with mayweather now, which exposes him to a massive sporting audience outside of boxing.

 

In Australia, Floyd is known as a famous sportsman, not many people outside of boxing circles know the **** between him and Manny, so he is flashy and popular.

 

**** off blade bummer,

it seems that the general impression of you on here is that you are a bit of a joke

yes we understand that you are a fan of floyd but you cannot see rational sense cos that is outweighed by your total homo infatuation with him :hi:

 

Scroll to 2.30, all of them are hardcore boxing fans yeah LOL.

Sky Sports news may show him, but again that's for sports fans, his last fight was on the nothing TV channel of Primetime. He will have name recognition amoung sports fans, but they wouldn't be able to tell you much about him apart from the Hatton fight. He wont be known to the general public though.
