Dose Mayweather have fans?

[ripcity]

Of course there are people who reconize and apricate his talant but dose he have fans in the way Hatton dose who wil follow him across the world to see him fight? Dose Mayweather have a fan base?

[PavlikPoundsYou]

They don't have to travel all over the world to see him - he fights in the US. Hatton's fans will be able to watch all of his fights in the cozy UK like the good old days after December.

[radianttwilight]

No, because's he's a total asshole to everyone in the business, and the majority of boxing fans don't like people who are assholes to them.

Add in the "gangster" facade and you have a guy who's really hard to like.

[PavlikPoundsYou]

Well, he's a black dude from Grand Rapids. I think it goes without saying there wouldn't be a parade for him there, it's pretty common sense - it's not like Floyd is representing Grand Rapids.

Pavlik's a white dude from Youngstown.

[PavlikPoundsYou]

No, but I'm not sure he really gives a shit, either. He knows he's better than Hatton and everybody else he fights. Some guys are heels and some are faces, Million Dollar Man. Floyd knows he's a heel.

[IcanzIIravor]

Those fans aren't going to save Hatton from the beating he will be getting. Having a groupie following is all good and well, but they won't be in the ring fighting.

[PH|LLA]

i'm not a fan of mayweather because although i think he has amazing talent, i think his skills are overestimated .

but, even as a non-fan, its not even a question that Mayweather is the biggest PPV draw in boxing, apart from ODLH

YOU CAN NOT ARGUE WITH THE FACT PBF HAS AWESOME SKILLS BUT HES ALSO A PROPER TWAT WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND SUPPORTS A TWAT:good

I think the thread starter just wanted to know if there are die hard Floyd fans here. I did not see anyone replying to that query yet. It might be safe to say that there are just a few die hard Floyd fans in this forum.

[BigReg]

I don't know why everyone is calling Floyd an asshole. They only people I've really seen him be mean to where guys he was about to fight. He's very accesable to the media and the fans and never has anything bad to say about them(except Merchant, he had it coming). I've seen plenty of chat sessions where fans try to bait him and he never has a negative response. He has had nothing but good things to say about English fans.

[eze]

I love Floyd as a fighter. Im a Huge fan

[Toopretty]

His fans treat there stars with different respects. I have never chanted anybodies fucking name whether it be a home team or etc. We dont do that shit, it is damned near gay in boxing. We talk about Floyd in the barbershops and in any boxing or sports conversation. We damned for sure buy ppvs and have fight parties locally whenever like guys like him Bhop, Winky etc fight. He has a different fan base as does Zab Judah etc. It does not seem like it for those ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN. But go in to an inner city boxing gym and see who the young guys imitate or look up too. It aint no damned Hatton or Pavlik.

Lol, also a "proper twat"?

:lol:

[2smart4u]

:smoke He is a super fighter so he should have fans ! Also he doesnt come to fight 15 pounds over the limit which has always got my respect ! :deal

[Toopretty]

For those who say Floyd does not have fans live in a shell and most Floyd fans are some guys that would not be on the god damned internet. But I can recall talking about Floyd vs Judah back pre-gatti days when floyd was at 135..........If you are a black man in america in to boxing...you talk about guys like Floyd, Bhop, shit even Shane. This shit has been argued and debated so many times years ago there is no fucking debate. Who knew who the fuck Hatton was but people in the UK pre tsyu..nobody..nobody gave a shit.. Same for here. Floyd has a whole lot of fans, they are just not dick riding type of fans. I guess 300k people paid to see Baldomir fight???? Naaaaaaaaaaa

[Toopretty]

You have to understand the culture of the fans to make a comment. I dont understand Calzaghe fans culture..so I cant comment on how many he has. Hatton is fans are very fanatical and vocal, that does not mean that his fans respect him more then a Floyd fan respects Floyd. Different cultures. Michigan is a big boxing state, has always been. But since floyd is a small guy and not this big KO artist he will not have that kind of MUST BE THERE attendance. We damned for sure will watch it on TV. And pay to do so and have a fight party if he fights any good opponent. Different fans have different cultures.

[Illstate]

Of course there are people who reconize and apricate his talant but dose he have fans in the way Hatton dose who wil follow him across the world to see him fight? Dose Mayweather have a fan base?Check how many times his name comes up on forums.
Anyone talked about that much has fans

[Toopretty]

so floyd fans are are silent and lack passion? i guess thats the reason why one never hears cheers for zab or floyd.


Nah, we are chill and laid back..and look upon people that go around chanting songs and having a jolly time about a fight supreme cornballs. I mean supreme. That is the black man in america.

:good Dude you hit the nail on the head! with all the bling and attitude, it's impossible to even tolerate him, not much different than Judah out of the ring, he's his own biggest fan, and acts talks like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, i hope Hatton drills a hole in his ribs..:tired

[mattress]

Having a groupie following is all good and well, but they won't be in the ring fighting.

no shit Einstein.

[Alo2006]

Fans or not, this won't stop him from kicking Hatton's ass:yep :bbb

[Tro]

Of course there are people who reconize and apricate his talant but dose he have fans in the way Hatton dose who wil follow him across the world to see him fight? Dose Mayweather have a fan base?

Can you spell?

[MrStayman]

I'm a fan.

I hope he KOs hatton.

But he'll just win by UD.

[Guitarman]

I think he has fans.. whether or not they will travel like that I am not sure.

His attitude could change a bit, and that might help.
