    You guys claim that Floyd plays the part of the "villian/bad guy" in order to sell tickets, and its all an act. You guys claim that he actually WANTS people to hate on him, and he can care less as long as those people pay to watch him fight. Yet when people bash and hate on him, you guys get mad and run to his defense as if u share a pillow with him at night. :huh

    Floyd doesn't need to act like a **** but he just does. That's a turn off for me and I wouldn't pay to watch the guy get beat - I'd rather pay to watch his skill. Mayweather deserves all the **** he gets in my opinion.

    It's a similar arguement with some of the WALD fans - they will claim that he doesn't need to trash talk to sell an arena out. If so, then why does Mayweather?

    Its the same way they dowplay the **** out of floyds opponets before he fights them, and then expect him to get so much credit for beating him.
    They want it both ways for their fighter/love interest

    What the ****???

    This is boxing which is equivalent to fighting....last time i checked when you were preparing to fight someone you didn't shake hands and act all buddy buddy or even show respect your out to prove your the better man and leading up to that confrontation your not suppose to act scared or afraid and lack confidence that explains the "villian" role as you want to call it...we run to his defense because out of all the fights he's had he's talked **** and came out still undefeated so therefore he backed it up...so that gives the **** he talks or the role he plays validity because the proof is in the pudding.

    AND

    It's the truth...the more people who hate him they don't realize their in actuality a fan of his to even give your time or thought process or even say his name or make a thread about why his "fans" love him like we do...you love him to you love to hate him which makes him more money...its the transferrance of energy instead of turning positive energy into negative energy he feeds off the negative energy and makes it positive for his pockets.

    People hate Macs...so they **** with Bill Gates
    People hate Wendy's so they **** with Burger King
    People hate Floyd so they **** with whoever he fights

    That doesn't mean Macs aren't going to sell or the people are going to stop eating Wendy's and it's not going to stop Floyd's real fans from defending him.

    But you are fans you like something about a Mac that Bill Gates doesn't give you when you use it...you like something on Wendy's menu if its nothing but a salad...and you have to like Floyd's in ring ability even if his personality pisses you off!

    There is a difference between hating on the guy and actually seriously trying to discredit his 'in-ring' accomplishments. End thread. :deal

    Don't start with contradictions now. Manny's own trainer said:
    Hatton isn't that good of a fighter
    Cotto weighing in at 145lbs will significantly weaken him
    Oscar is finished and can't pull the trigger, making 147lbs will make him almost dead

    Yet Manny beating those 3 makes him SRR status????

    Big difference when a trainer says it, and the actual fighter says it.

    Floyd: "Hatton is a midget, I aint worried about him"
    Floyd: "Marquez is a good little man, but im a great big man"
    Floyd: "Shane Mosley is done and at the end of his career"

    he is one of those guys who just says everything on his mind and doesn't care if he offend people or not. Overall i don't think he is a bad guy to be honest.
