Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
he was just on WWF monday night raw in an angle with the big show, he comes to the ring and has no character or personality so he goes straight to the ultimate crutch and hes like 'HEY-YO MIAMI, WHATS UP?!?' and u can see the crowd is mostly like 'who the fuck is this guy', so theres barely a reaction to his screaming miami, and then they have him talk some shit, leave the ring and the big show says something as hes leaving like 'fight me' and mayweather charges into the ring :rolleyes:
he gets more desperate for popularity everyday

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
WWF? He's probably doing it for his kids..... Aren't you a little old for the WWF Sal? Thats like a male soap opera...Stacey Keebler is the only thing that could get me to watch WWF.:lickish: Yeah he wasn't very social as a kid so I guess he's trying to make up for lost time, everyone can see he just wants to be loved, boohoo my daddy didnt love me.... If he really wants the fans on his side he's gonna have to drop his ego down a notch or two and be humble like he was after the Hatton fight. Nobody likes a braggart.

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
yea floyd is no Tyson, when tyson was in wwe his presence alone hyped up the crowd. WWE don't seem to really know who the hell floyd is, and it looks pretty damn stupid how small floyd is and how big everyone else is around him trying to hold him back. Yea right like his really piss off and want to go toe to toe with someone twice or trice as big as him the big show.
bad publicity stunt imo!

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
I don't actually mind braggarts, especially when they'e fighters who can back it up in the ring. To move up the weights and do what he's doing means he's in a special category and he has a lot to brag about. And you can't blame him for being an arse in his twenties. He may well smarten up in his thirties and realise that he should have taken Sugar Ray Leonard's "just smile, act humble and keep winning" advice for his career. He'll eventually realise how many dollars acting like he does cost him.
But he's a flawed human being, so what. I'm glad I didn't have the media coverage in my twenties that Floyd has had because I might look a lot worse to you than the lovely guy you know me to be.

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
I just watched the whole bit, it was so STUPID! lol. Floyd acts all scared, then leaves the ring with his hood up like a little thug, then runs back in and says "I accept your challenge" and they are supposed to fight or some shit, most definately at Wrestlemania in a gimmick match.
Holyfield has done shit like this and he no doubt is known for being a classy guy, but I ask myself would Roy Jones or Sugar Rey Leonard have done this when they were P4P kings? I think not.

Good point, I know I have no right to judge anyone, if you look at some of the shit I've done in my day....I'm glad my friends weren't the types to carry cameras.

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
Nah he is just promoting. You will see why when Mayweather/DLH 2 is on. You will see a bunch of people in the audience holding up signs while wearing 3:16 caps and Undertaker T-Shirts.
;D

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
I agree Sal, this was just desperate.:(

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
In the past I've not been a supporter of Floyd or his actions. In fact on numerous occassions I've been put down as a Floyd hater. However, I will once again state the obvious. Floyd is the best fighter in boxing at the moment.
Do you guys not find it sad that he shows up at an event such as this, only for people to question who it is? Although I can't say that I admire him, I will say that Floyd is correct to attempt to publicise himself and enhance his reputation. He is entitled to all the fame, glamour and accolades that are howered upon him now and I wish him luck in whatever he does.
However, here's my primary angle. Everything Floyd does, boxing does. If the general public see a young flashy healthy, superbly skilled champion as the face of boxing they may be attracted no?
-
Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
I've felt for a while that Floyd is desperate to copy the fame of Oscar. He spent his whole career chasing a fight with DLH. He's gone up the weights like DLH. he wants to promote like DLH. He makes good business decisions like DLH. the only thing he doesn't have is the popularity. So he goes on a fixed fight show as a good guy. I bet he's getting paid a shit load of money by McMahon for this.

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
....all this yet something about him pops up here damn near everyday. I for one am tired of hearing non boxing stories about him everyday, he must hate being so unpopular..yea he appears so miserable especially when he logs in and see's how bad he being talked about here. C'mon now the hating is really starting to get riddiculous. The man didn't even fight this weekend yet count the amount of threads here with his name in it.
-
Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
at the part when mayweather is hitting big show he actually connects with the punches and has broke his nose lol.
type big show broken nose into youtube and click the top one, at the end there is a slow motion replay and you see the shots land. I researched it on the internet and he has actually got a broken nose.
I dont watch wrestling btw

When did he come on here? Regardless to everyone I think that him being popular is important for boxing because he is such a dynamic fighter. Very few people in any sport have the level of talent he has at boxing, he is one of the best athletes in the world at what he does and that is always special to watch especially in a 1 vs 1 type sport.

it was on the TV with the volume off, i had howard stern on the computer and i looked over and saw mayweather on the screen so i turned on the volume, i used to like WWF but its gotten hard to watch for even a second in the last few years, now that vince has no competition he lets his daughter have a job on the creative team, she has no ability whatsoever, and i guess shes too dumb to even get a job where she can fuck shit up in another industry :rolleyes:

I agree Donny. I don't see anything wrong with Floyd appearing on WWE.
I remember title of the first article I read about it was "Mayweather continues crossover mainstream appeal" or something along those lines.
I never had any interest in WWE, but enough people out there do. It is also a market which buys tickets and purchases PPV's...just like boxing. This was not a rushed decision by Mayweather, it was well thought out and he will reap many benefits from it.
He did the same thing by appearing on Dancing with the Stars (which hit a demographic completely outside of the typically boxing fan)
What is good for the P4P champ is good for the sport. I bet a lot of people have shown interest in Mayweather fights (whether they like him or not) over the past year that have never had any interest in boxing in the past.

btw, it should be mentioned that ODH was offered a chance to participate on the whole wrestlemania angle and he said no

Exactly.
People should be glad that Floyd is getting these opportunites to appear at different events, because it means that people in the entertainment world are paying attention to what is going on in boxing. That's a good thing.
Unfortunately, a lot of people here would rather just bash Floyd for everything he does, instead of taking the time to think about what it might mean for the sport as a whole.

I agree. The more he's out there in the public eye, the more people who will be interested in watching boxing...whether it's to see him win or to see him get his face smashed in. Exposure for Mayweather means exposure for boxing...that's a good thing in my opinion.

And all he has to do is fight more often. He does not seem to want to be popular, but looked upon as an icon or a celebrity. He gets lots of press when he fights so get out there and fight. At this stage he probably does not know what he wants, but whatever it is, the lack of boxing is not going to supply it to him as that is what he is. The WWE will also not supply him with what he is looking for.

I must admit you're right. Floyd is not that big to join WWE.

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
As much as I dislike Floyd, I think he will be good for the sport. I think he and Goldie will do great things in the future and I hope this is the case.
Why do I dislike Floyd again so much?
Some dude posted a video of all the elbows Floyd landed against Hatton and it was a crying shame that someone who claims to be the p4p king would resort to such measures. :mad:
I was going to make the video myself but I got frustrated because there were so many of them and Cortez let it go on and on and on and I just gave up. I am glad it was some one else who made the video and not me.
Sure Cortez warned the little c0ckroach about the elbows but give me a break there were way too many of them. I will upload the video this dude made, later tonight when I have time.

You ever think Floyd may want to do something to make money other then boxing? Heaven forbid that he does something that his kids got him into. His kids actually got him into wrestling and he's doing this for them giving them something more then the "THERE'S ONLY OOOOONE MAYWEATHER" bad guy they see on boxing shows. Giving them a hero-like person that he can pull off on a wrestling show is something to be smiled at not sneered at. But as always people will hate Mayweather no matter what he does.

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
It's a shame but all that talent and money but no one has suggested PBF hire a good PR man. This way he can move his lips but nothing dumb will come out. I say leave promoting to the promoters and let the fighters do the fighting.

Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
anyone whos taking offense here, its not about him being known, its about him being liked by the mainstream non-boxing public, he wants women who watch american idol to know who he is, he wants to be the mainstream face of boxing, and that is NOT the case, and it probably never will be, as people who do not watch the sport regularly will find his style boring, and his personality will not help him
-
Re: Mayweather Is So Desperate To Be Popular
I read in some article with Hatton that Floyd has texted him and phoned him so he can come over to the UK as he even said to Hatton he would love a fanbase like his.

Precisely the same as my observation. Even I, feels that there is something in his style that is boring.I just can't explain why I feel bored with his fights. :confused:
Skill wise, I must admit that he's really excellent.:cool:
