Why do FLoyd fans care how much money he makes???

thank you for speaking the truth

 

Money May is the face of boxing. He's a perfectionist and very self concious. He cares about what the fans think. He knows the fans want him to fight Cotto, and he knows Cotto is a legit threat. I'm fully confident that once his body heals up he'll give the people another superfight and take away Cotto's "0". Let's be real, Hatton is a good fighter but he has enough flaws where Floyd was able fight him even with an assortment of ailments. He knows he can't get away with that **** against a fighter of Cotto's caliber. You watch, when Floyd get's healthy Mayweather/Cotto will get made.

 

Fact of the matter is, I have seen that with most of the major fighters fans on this message board as of late. It's not just Mayweather fans.

 

I am a fan of Floyds skills, not him, and I don't give a **** what he makes.

 

dont know why people keep thinking mayweather wont fight cotto!....by this time next year we will be set for mayweather/cotto i guarantee it..

 

i dont

 

its not that people care how much money he makes. Its about putting yourself in the fighters shoes to understand his rationalization when picking fights.

Why would Pacquiao face JMM rather than Joan Guzman? Money. As fans we understand that and therefore know he is not ducking Guzman.

Why would Hopkins face Jones rather than Calzaghe? Money.

At the end of the day boxing is a job and people box to get paid.

 

Didn't floyd said it's not about the money?

 

that is the difference between boxing fans and floyd fans, boxing fans want to see the fight, floyd fans look out for floyd best interest, which benefits them in no way.

 

I always wondered the same thing. Some of the Floyd fans treat his earnings as a personal victory of theirs. Bizarre. It's like when someone mentioned Ricky Hatton making over $40 million for the fight, instantly there were people who jumped in defensively and made a big deal about him not making more than Floyd.

Cheers for a great post. :good

 

I'm a boxing fan. I have been for 27 years now, and as a fan of the sport care about the athletes involved the sport.
Many of my favorite fighters in the past has ended up damaged from too many hard fights, and most of the time there were others who never put themselves in harms way that made alot of money from their efforts.
And to top it off they still don't get the respect they should get from the so called fans of the sport.
I like to see fighters go on to live outside of the ring.
Floyd Mayweather is a prime example.
What he has done in the ring is nothing short of amazing, and "boxing fans" will still make posts saying he's a runner, coward, and such.
Bottom line is get the money nothing else matters when it's all said and done.

 

Boxing fans know when a fighter has done enough.
Boxing fans don't want to see guys hang around the sport until they can't stand anymore. Then move on to the next new thing.
