How come people hate Mayweather on here so much?

[johnm is...]

Truth is, if Mayweather takes on Pacquiao next. That would only mean Pacquiao beat Cotto, Pacquiao would have already established himself as a WW.

I know that, you know that. But it's late, and I didn't want to have to argue about it with certain posters tonight.

he got a hugely positive response at the bar that was showing Mayweather-Marquez, and other people that talk about him are really interested in his fights and most of them want him to remain unbeaten.

well ok, Ive been on boxingscene long enough to hear the millions of reasons why so many people dislike him...but its just kind of odd that this site is so largely anti Mayweather when all the casual fans really seem to like him.

They dont like Wlad either. This place just loves losers, over the hill fighters and journeymen.

People who say "they hate Floyd" are crazy. I find it hard to believe you hate someone that you don't know personally. Rather, they hate or dislike the way Floyd portrays himself in the media. While I'm annoyed and dislike his media personality, I don't let that alter my view of him as a fighter, like some do.

I dont hate FLOYD. I respect him and his skills which are amazing.My thing about Floyd is that after the 2nd Castillo fight up until the Oscar fight, the level of competition and fights he chose to accept are not lb 4 lb material.

No doubting his skills but I doubt his desire to seek the fighters and challenges that hardcore fans want. No mistake about it, Floyd has been selective in opponents but that does not mean that he deserves to be disrespected.

man that fight in your sig is so entertaining i absolutely love watching that fight.

why don't people realize this, he ain't no WW

[Steak]

you are a liar i was playing poker and all the guys near my table hate him.. these are casual white people.. they all criticized him for fight marquez making him move 2 weights..

and yes casual fans know that.. they read the news

well, Im sure it varies from person to person.

From the people Ive met, almost everyone really likes Floyd.

maybe its just the nature of the internet for everyone on it to hate and overreact to everything.

After Mayweather destroys Pacquiao, he will have even more haters!

This board represents about the top 5% of boxing fans, and the top 1% of mainstream/casual fans. We are the type of fans that know how much a boxer owes to JPMorgan Chase. We know boxers' wives names.

To the casual fan, floyd is a recognizable face, and a great boxer. he is "a name". The guy from DWTS, WWE and the AT&T commercial. Even to the hip-hop community, his videos are on WSHH. The casual fan doesn't have the jealousy and hatred of the average NSB poster.

The average sports fan hears about michael vick, pete rose, Plaxico Burress, pacman jones, etc. They don't associate Floyd with that kind of negativity.

This is so true it needed a bump.

People who say "they hate Floyd" are crazy. I find it hard to believe you hate someone that you don't know personally. Rather, they hate or dislike the way Floyd portrays himself in the media. While I'm annoyed and dislike his media personality, I don't let that alter my view of him as a fighter, like some do.

Well said. That is the undeniable truth no matter how they try to spin it.

To be fair though, Floyd's next choice of opponents will determine how serious he is to regain his throne and status.
