Mayweather says he does it for the fans... more like does it to them...

    How ? :think
    He said he misses the sport and will be fighting more often. If he takes on Pacquiao next then it would be a dream come true.

    You sound ****in' ******ed....look at it from the fighters perspective, what if he ends up broke at the end of his career, what fan is going to take care of him and his family? Look at Tommy Hearns, so many claim to be his fans but when IRS came & took all his **** what fan helped?:patsch

    Why all of a sudden he's trying to wear a white hat now? The black hat routine has worked for him for so long, so I'm not sure what's changed.

    Please tell me you don't walk over shallow puddles... I'm afraid if you fall down you might drown...

    Where do think Hearns and Mayweather got their money from??? Out of thin air or a money tree... How the boxers spend or waste their money isn't the FANS FAULT!!! :rasta

    :good

    I was wondering about that myself... He made a concerted effort to be the *******... Why the change now??? One scenario might be, because some of his fans don't like being SHITTED on and he knows this??? :hat

    Every fighter primarily fight for the benefit of themselves and their family. They don't owe the fans anything, if you don't like the boxer, then don't spend any money on him.

    They don't owe anything to their fans. But it's in their interest to have fans, generally.

    :deal

    I agree I don't care what they do with their money. The thing is the money DOES come from the fans... "Money" Mayweather for a considerable amount of time has shown what he thinks of his "fans" with his MOUTH and ACTIONS... :smoke

    For those "fans" who feel shitted on or don't like it, the simple solution is don't support them anymore. If you don't choose that route then that "fan" should have nothing to say.

    For those "fans" of boxing they'll find a way to view without contributing to his salary so that wouldn't be legitimate excuse either.

    What's funny, is that most of the people who are complaining aren't even fans. They're haters. This is really a very simple concept unless you are an idiot.

    PPV'S and fights are announced well in advance. Its not like they wait until fight night to reveal who his opponent is. You know well in advance. If you want to see the fight, then you pay. If you don't then don't pay. He doesn't owe anybody anything. If you pay to the see the fight, then he gets the money, and you get to see the fight which is what you bargained for.

    :think

    hehehe... I think he knows more and more of his fans are starting to feel the later. My friend who is a San Jose police officer, is a Mayweather fanatic. He'd always change his schedule to watch the Pretty One's fights. When he heard Money was going to fight somebody like Ortiz, HE WAS DISGUSTED. He's going to let his wallet do the talking this time around.

    Will Mayweather "feel my friends pain and disgust"... doubt it... I know where Mayweather rates his fans... :hat
