    Among pure fans of the sport, hes got fans sure, but who can actually say they like the guy?

    Like doesn't mean turn into a likeable politican like DLH, nobody likes that too much either.

    But its better to be respectable in how you represent yourself, I mean nothing wrong with some flashyness and even arrogance but if thats all you got, you come off as an insecure b*tch and nobody likes the energy

    Mayweather has been setting himself up for a fall with the "cash cow" business.

    It will bother him as well, if he has it thrown back in his face. Unrighteous kid.

    Mayweather is a dull fighter to watch.

    Mayweather kinda reminds of Roy Jones, great ability but just drags the fights. This along with a limited fan base affects his rentability.

    U are right, because JMM is not known outside of boxer fans. Hatton wasn't either until 24/7 :good

    Yes, when he tried to be a good guy - a "purty boy"... he couldn't pull it off because he really is a rather shallow and dumb guy to listen to. He is not likable at all. Girls find him puny and unattractive (aside from the money he probably still has) and guys don't aspire to be him - who wants to be a short black dude with spaghetti arms and a big-ass head (again - except for the money)?

    Then he tried the bad guy approach to sell tickets. Yes, he is arrogant, but doesn't fight in a way that alowes his to really pull off a 'black hat' persona either.

    He fights on his little tippy toes and dancing aroudn like a ballet dancer. He is as tough as Strawberry Gel on a hot day!

    In other words - Floyd just doesn't have it in him to be a really really big seller.

    I predict this boring fight will be a flop in PPV and gate receipts.
    It's a good sleep inducer.

    Floyd carried those shows although Judah did have his own fans...but that's not my point.Floyd on his own is not the Superstar PPV attraction he would lead you to believe.

    Then want to explain why he made more fighting Baldomir in PPV sales than Pacquiao made fighting a popular well known/respected fighter in Morales?

    Want to also explain why Mayweather/DLH broke PPV records and made more than double what Pac/DLH did?, if it's 100% DLH then it should make the same amount or at least close, right?

    Want to also explain why Mayweather did more fighting Hatton than Pacquiao did?, if it's 100% Hatton as I would expect you to hint then surely he would make the same amount especially when it's at 140 where he claims to be undefeated and made of steel.

    You can play delusional all day long the numbers will remain the same and available to peek on and wonder whenever you wish.
