If you hate the fact that he did wrestling than you hate marketing ..Period end of story ..There is nothing anyone in the public eye can do that will satisfy Every single person . All that did was give him added exposure ..If you think about it wasn't the same said about Ali when he fought Inoki ? This wrestling boxing buisness has been going on for yrs ..Relax people ..Now me personally I wouldn't have minded the Big Show choke slamming little Floyd but hey its entertainment ..
i do hate marketing ...marketing spawns capitalism ..which spawns the global economic crisses we're in today ... i hate marketing
Are you ****ing kidding me Half these guys that call them selves boxer don't even have the discipline to stay in shape or even try to improve on there game . You have boxer taking roids, smoking , coming in over weight, hitting officials or just straight poor losers .. And your calling Floyd bad for boxing !?!? at least he has the decency practice his craft , and show his opponent some respect by showing up in shape.. its allot more then any other boxer can say right now.
It's Floyd, that's why. He's number 1 guy right now, and cocky as all **** I can honestly remember RJJ getting even MORE hate than what Floyd gets now. And yet, even BEFORE he officially retires, that hate kinda went away (a LOT) ever since Roy was dethroned and became "old" or "shot" It's human instinct to attack those at the very top. Hence why Pac and Calzaghe ( :happy ), and I suppose Wlad, are also probably the most hated on here. Sorry to sway slightly off topic.
i know all these recent ventures are done with the sole purpose of fattening his pockets but surely if it attracts some new fans and spectators to boxing it can only help the sport
