    Mayweather by far the $$$$ says it all.

    All these people alwyas saying "Oh well its not Mayweather i paid to see, I paid to see Marquez / Hatton / Oscar / whoever."

    Well yea, Mayweather is fighting Marquez and all of a sudden "You paid to see Marquez". Thats the whole point. Mayweather makes his opponent a big draw even if his opponent is not a big draw, because he's so good at playing the bad guy.

    I dont really think either of them play the bad guy. They are both just very talented boxers who are boastful of their abilities.

    People with no talent tend to hate that.

    Floyd can't play a bad guy he is just an insecure little **** but I think he makes people hate him more because of it, which means more buy to see him lose.

    Well I've realised that most American's hate Mayweather, but most British love Haye.

    Its kind of an English thing really, Haye was brought up in a rough part of London, he's down to earth, always represents his country..thats why people like him. In England, Haye's not a bad guy atall.

    Mayweather does not play the bad guy well at all. He absolutely sucks at it, and that is probably the biggest reason he has so many haters.

    Haye thinks he's a lot better than he is, he's actually ****.

    I saw the clip on Sky Sports where they had some tall guy with mask on and some guy with a Russian accent pretending to be Valuev's manager, Haye said **** all. In a staged event, his best line was something like "ya ... we're going to get ya".

    He then looked all awkward and went over and punched the cardboard cut out of Valuev. It was the least funny and entertaining thing ever, made me cringe.

    I dont mind Hate that much, but lets face it, he's no Ali when it comes to charisma

    ****, C'mon man.

    Maybe you are just using the word **** in a flippant way because a guy with his amateur pedigree, cleans house at Cruiser and then becomes HW champ cannot be ****.
