    same commercial they had for that one tennis player, he can't carry that in the ring though.

    Floyd did it to himself with his personality IMO. In the ring, I'd put him up there with any boxer who ever lived. Outside the ring, he leaves way too much to be desired.

    I read a column about him a few years ago, and I agree 100% with the quote.

    "If Floyd played his cards right, he would have been near the Ray Leonard realm of popularity right now. Instead, hes about as beloved as Ray Lewis."

    He endorses himself pretty damn good.....

    I will concede Floyd is will never be at pacs level of stardom, until he makes a shitty action movie with fake machine gun fire and machete wielding yokos

    I dont think his out of ring popularity really bothers him... He has made a shiitload of money and has had tremendous success.

    I have followed Ray Lewis his whole career albeit cleared of murder charges I think no matter how he was outside of football, the thing that I will always remember about him, is that he was probably the best middle linebacker to ever play the game or at least in the top 3

    Wasn't he endorsed by Filty Rich Record's or some such shit. I always seem to remember him having that written on his back.

    I think it’s a bit overrated to say that Floyd has made tons of money. Really, think about Oscar De La Hoya, Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, etc.

    I think 1 of the reasons is that he can be a real asshole outside the ring. I seen videos of him calling all his past opponents pu##ies and fuck this and fuck that kind of attitude and people in his entourage don't help his image either. Do you think Nike would endorse Tiger Woods if he called all his opponents on the PGA a bunch of sorry motherfu##ers? He is an awesome fighter that just needs to keep his opinions behind closed doors and away from the spotlight if he ever wants 1 of those big endorsement deals. There is nothing wrong with being humble.

    PBF didn't endorse by choice.
    He was like B-Hop he did it his way so did Winky.

    They are the kind of business men who see it as they are the stars they are the money makers why should they have to pay someone to do something that they can do on their own without sharing profit on the hustle that they are putting down. Look at RJJ, he promoted himself and did it his way and he got Jordan as an endorsement.

    Those things are sweet, I'd def. drop some cash on those.

    Also a few months ago maybe longer these special edition shoes.
    The "Kid Azteca" shoes Kid is Mexican boxing legend Luis Villanueva Paramo.

    I reckon Floyd is even in the little league compared to Naseem Hamed money wise, Hamed was everywhere for Addidas and really no one compares to Tysson for commercial success.

    No one knows who Floyd is, people still know the name Tyson, mention Mayweather and people say "who" hes only ever been viable as a pay per view event when the opponent was the attraction, Gatti was his first pay per view and that was because of Gatti.

    Advertisers arent going to pay money for a personality that isnt known and you have to have a personality to start with, when he stops acting like a horrible little cuunt people might give a shiit, the only reason he wants to comeback now is because Manny has got a little more well known and he thinks he can get a bit of fame rubbing off on to him, his attempt to win Hattons fans didnt work
