An appreciation of Mayweather's discipline

[Master]

Sure, but he's spent his entire life putting himself in a position where he can be. If you want to complain about athletes getting overpaid, boxing is not the sport to do so

He is overpaid to all other boxers, I do not begrudge him I just think he is not worth it in terms of value.

What you think doesn't matter though, he generates the revenue and simply takes his share of it, it's a very honest living compared to so many in the entertainment world. I don't think most athletes should make more than a school teacher in a perfect world, but all I can do about it is not tune in to watch them.

I will not be watching Floyd in future to watch Khan, Garcia or Devon. Unless it is to go for the middlewight title then he can go away.

I'm sure he's crushed. You were of the mind that Canelo was going to beat him, did you pay to watch that? Did his victory impress you? You are exactly the type of fan that no fighter will give a rats about, no offence.

I find it odd that Mayweather never made it into the mainstream. Despite the hype of this fight and the few spots it got on local or even national media there are many in my area that don't know who he is never mind what weight class. You don't see Floyd with many national add campaigns for Nike etc.I know it's probably but talked about before but it just seems there is a lot of great boxing people are missing out on.

He will never get big sponsors because he could be arrested for hitting some girl on any given night, and his priors are probably enough of a deterrent as is. When you think boxing in general has fallen so far from the mainstream, the popularity he has managed to achieve is quite impressive.

Good point, I wasn't even thinking of the criminal aspects.
