Is Floyd And His Imitators Style The Reason Boxing Isn't A Mainstream Sport In The US

You just don't have any idea do you ? Jr has had 14 fights in ten years . It has destroyed the sport. The face of boxing. ROFL .

 

shut up you idiot he was talking about you.:deal

 

i didn't even thought of that.

 

How much of Floyds yearly earnings come from endorsements? 0. With major companies like Nike,Reebok,Under Armour,Gatorade,Vitamin Water etc... paying athletes hundreds of millions of dollars how is floyd not working with any of them? With floyd being promoted by these companies and on tv several times an hour everyday it would go a long way toward promoting the sport of boxing.

Heres the problem. Floyd is a ****! None of these companies want to work with him because he makes ridiculous demands and his ego is so big that he feels he doesnt need these companies they need him which is laughable. Sure hes making a ton of money but could you imagine what he would be raking in if he had endorsements? He would be approaching 1 billion easy.

Floyd isnt loved by the majority of people. Most people dont like Floyd. Not because hes black,****y and rich but because he is a person of questionable character with an extremely lame personality that seems to offer nothing more than "look at how rich i am". He does very little charity work and the money he donates is money he raises from donations. When you spend more money gambling then you do on charity its going to rub people the wrong way and rightfully so.

Floyd is who he is and at the end of the day he is a great fighter but he has done little to help boxing and in 30 years he will not be remembered by the general public like Ali,leonard,tyson,De la hoya etc. are. He`ll be forgotten for the most part outside of hardcore boxing fans.

 

It's also his criminal record. You have to be squeeky clean to be working with companies like that now-and-days or else people protest the hell out of it. He also did something that is huge in the media right now, domestic violence. Thanks to Ray Rice .

 

:-(( Seldom will I agree with your dumb aze however:scaredas: I do agree that FLOYD has put some spotlight on boxing and that the decline in American HW did blast boxing off from 75% casual fans.

Now FLOYD has chosen some dumb moves, such as retiring when the HEAT WAS ON HIS DUCK AZE. I support FLOYD because he is a great boxer but this and other contrived plans have placed a BLACK EYE ON THE SPORT WE, NOT YOU, LOVE HERE ON THIS FAMILY OF ESB

Now my buddy CST is not a troll nor dumb so don't insult him or his view you ****** goat ball sac sniffer:deal
Floyd boxes very well but his lack of taking true risk when he is dragging out a 12 rounder is not good for a paying customer or not facing the best at the best time is questionable ......Sure he is facing Pac and I am excited as I know he (PBF/ Money Money) is going to hit and avoid getting hit most of the fight WHICH IS BOXING NOT RUNNING

Floyd s....h....IT on the sport that pays his bills by evolving into a giant Black Mama DIVA

If you took the time to reflect on what CST stated with his personal time to provide you a summary, if you can read better than FLOYD , :shock:you would see he pointed out guys away from HW like Hagler (bet you don't know his figh record) who makes 42 fights look like somebody who has only been a pro for maybe 8 or 10 years. Floyd and this protected O is such a joke....check past pro records on guys who did not fight 2Xs a year or wait for a real threat to become borderline decomposed.....sure few exceptions like Canelo (FLOYD made him look silly) and Maidana (deserved a draw fight 1) and he slapped Oscar around like a baby bean.

Now Floyd is good for boxing he has just made poor choices combined with SH.....IT OR SUSPECT timing. You say no casual fans MIGHT not know GGG:twisted: My homeboys at the gym ask about him, Ruslan and the RUSSIAN killer so eat that up homie

And FINALY everybody knows AB and Maidana. With AB you can, he is the CAN MAN,love him or CAN hate him BUT the kid talks great trash and brings the heat.

AT LEAST CST and some of the real fans, Robney, Kirk, LadyGirl , Shoe and more join us on Rd by Rd nights and put there knowledge and scores out after every round.

You just show up and spit in the faces of true fans, run to IB for help and he knows you are a Biotch Snitch, and always talk pure ****.
Get out of our family you jerk face uneducated POS. You are scared to expose your true lack of this sport by deflecting most conversations, never join us for RD BY RD nights and your VCASH has not been touched in over 2 yrs......sort of like your little Pec...KER or your fat sister:rofl

Wow.....I feel much better now.

P.S. CST you had some good and not so good views with this task but thanks for sharing and FK Blizzy:finger

 

You need to get a job

 

Maybe his passion for the sport runs deeper than yours :huhso don't hate :nonodo watch TV or join a bowling team :rofl

:smoke

 

No he is simply there last sellable asset

If it wern't for him boxing would be dead in the US

 

there are just many questionable fights, cherry picking, biased judging and referees, fights not happening due to promoters, drug testing issues, fighting only in hometown, not fighting mandatories, too many belts, etc. the balance of being a business and a sport just got messed up. people who became popular due to boxing wants to control it instead of being grateful and respectful to it.

 

It's the system. Is there any sport more blatantly corrupt as boxing?
The people in charge treated it like a business instead of a sport, and Mayweather as a fighter just did what they did and milked the system for what its worth.
He is definitely a part of the problem, but to blame the state of boxing solely on him is reaching. The problem already existed before him.

 

Wladimir is probably a bigger culprit than Floyd

 

boxing has gone downhill in America because you guys like your heavyweights and your heavyweights are **** right now. Once you get a top heavyweight again, which i'm very sure you will do in the future, then interest will go up again. It's as simple as that really.

When your heavyweights went downhill in 70's-80's, you then had great lighter fighters and then once Tyson came into the scene, that was it, popularity went sky high. Americans need top American fighters, especially top American heavyweights, otherwise you guys lose interest and go to a sport that you're more dominant in. That's the impression I get anyway.

 

How...You can say after Tyson it was not so popular as it was before.
