    Go download all of Floyd's 130 fights and then come back and ask that question. They were two completely different fighters.

    It's mainly due to Floyds large fanatical gay following.

    Because of the wonders of promotion and management.

    We are not comparing their amateur careers, that's another topic.
    To answer the opening post..... Look at who they both fought.
    Rigo has one big name on his resume and I bet most casual fans don't know who the hell Nonito is. Mayweather on the other hand has fought most of the big names in the sport, in fact, beat most of the big names in and around his weight class.

    It's funny, but there is some truth in it, Rigondeaux he has no real opponents in his weight division, only after Lomachenko's debut in pro's arose this hypothetically interesting big fight where 2 ATG amateurs can find out who is better.

    As for Floyd, he keeps still big intrigue by not taking Pac's fight, lots of people hope that he will fight Manny in his last fight and that adds additional attention to him by Pacman's fans.
