The American media would give the two ****s about him like they do now. You think his court shit would be all over TMZ if it was in Ecuador or Honduras or wherever?

Floyd doesn't. If floyd didn't say something controversial or insult his opponents heavily before the fight than he would do worse numbers than Cotto.

And, if Floyd couldn't speak English from Ecuador then there would be no ESPN coverage, no skip Bayless nonsense on first take, no argument with Brian Kenny, no PTI conversations, no argument with Larry Marchant, No ******ed ass interviews on radio stations, no ESPN commercial, no dancing with the stars, no WWE showcases, no cover of XXL, more importantly probably no 24/7, no fight hype videos, it would be very little controversy image.
It's not just skill, there are plenty of fighters with skills who can box other fighters ear off in a consistent basis. Who can't draw PPV numbers. It takes more than skills to be a PPV star.
If Pac wasn't Filipino and was Puerto Rican instead you would be on your knees with your mouth open taking every drop of his.
