is Mayweather good for boxing?

yes / thread

 

you must not have realized this, hes black that plays a big part in regardless of what people may think. these white folks out here dont ever want black people to reach the plateau of wealth/status that they have. ill give you examples, 50 cent white people hate him, TI, tupac, tyson. we as back males are always being watched. not sayin mayweather should ge off either he shouldnt he needs to be held accountable just like the rest of us but his mouth and money put a huge target on his back.

hes great for boxing, boxing needs a bad guy just like NBA needed lebron. someone hasta to be blamed for ****

 

any press is good press

 

I don't know of any elite fighter that wasn't good for boxing.

 

boxing is becaming more like pro wrestling......GOOD VS BAD....

 

hes revived PPV boxing on a world stage and Pacquiao is living off of his momentum by fighting the same opponents immediately afterwards.

yes he is good for boxing. everyone, including his haters get excited for everytime he fights. the media loves to **** on him but good or bad, hes the most talked about boxer in recent years

 

Everyone has been very nice and responded to your question in a direct way. Let me be the first to call you the **** smoking gaylord that you are.

If you're so concerned about an athlete that is featured in a ppv only once a year for the most part, then you're way too concerned with what a part-time boxer has to say.

Maybe you should focus your attention on some full time fighters. They participate in this sport called "boxing". Check it out, you might like it.

 

Overall yes I would say so, even though he does my head in

 

He's great for boxing inside the ring and out.

Inside the ring should go without saying. Outside the ring he is the bad guy. He kept boxing relevant and even people who may have never watched him fight once know who he is. His ppv sales say it all, his haters want to see him just as much or even more than his true fans.

 

Yea, zip this thread up.

 

he made it interesting in a bad sense
.... boxing needs him, people need to hate and complain at somebody
he is a good dark character

 

I enjoy watch him the most

 

Yea

 

So I don't dislike Mayweather because he acts like a giant douche? I hate him because he's black? And I don't like 50cent music, not because his flow sounds like he has a mild form of ******ation, uses fairly standard and uncreative metaphors and is a bad actor, but because he's a black man? Thanks.

Look, I'm not saying racism doesn't exist, I'm saying that some people don't like May because he acts like dick. And by the way, since he's made it clear that that is his actual goal then really, it seems like your argument is a little forced. He claims he acts like an ass to get attention, but the attention is negative, which is what he asked for in the first place. btw, that's not why I don't like him, I think if he's actually an ******* then I'd like him more, but I hate the disingenuousness that his 'Money May' persona entails.

As far as it goes I think he's bad for boxing. A) he only fights like once a year. B) the people he 'dupes' into watching his fights don't become boxing fans, but they might become boxing haters.
