I think the bigger issue is the IGNORANCE that is coming with Loma success and the IGNORANT PEOPLE who are making Loma the face of their AGENDA which we all know what that is. That hurts his Brand more than it helps. To be a SUPERSTAR you need EVERYBODY watching and supporting you. That is what a "Crossover Superstar' is.
Loma is very confident but you can tell he really respect this sport and he wants to earn everything and wants nothing given to him. He does have some fans who are extremely Ignorant, no different Mayweather and Pacquiao having similar fans which ultimate made other fans hate them.
Where the negativity comes in toward Loma is when fans and people in the media goes TOO FAR with the hype and start disrespecting legends of this sport just to PRAISE Loma. It is really not necessary but it is done out of SPITE.
So this is nothing new in boxing! While Ray Leonard was a media darling in his prime, he had A LOT of people who hated him and thought he was Privileged not only because he came from a good family but also the way the media loved him and covered him and called his matches in a bias way for him as well no different than what we complain about today from HBO.
What looks bad from a lot of the youtube guys however is that a lot of them are not judging Loma by what they see in the ring. Instead they're stoop so low to TROLLS that they're judging him based on Ignorant Trolls Comments. It is a childish "Well You Disrespected Mayweather So I'm Disrespecting Loma". But fans today are petty like this on ALL SIDES it is not just one side doing it all. Even worse is media guys, guys who write for R I N G ****zine guys who are given Credentials, guys who write for ESPN who are participating in these Adolescent Antics
I think it hurts the sport far more than it helps it as a WHOLE when you have this divide among fans and boxing media and nobody is willing to try and put a end to the nonsense! If I'm a Casual new to boxing and I come and see nothing but negativity and racism, I wouldn't want any part of this sport.
