Why is Floyd Mayweather able to attract so much attention?

[Master]

I think it's different in the UK his fights are pretty much always exclusively on Box nation so we don't have to pay any extra for him.

I've never had a problem staying up until 6am to watch him fight, would I pay £100 for the pleasure though, not a chance, would I pay £20 for the pleasure, chances are that I wouldn't unless it was actually a decent match up.

Will I pay for him and Conor? Nope

Most of Floyd's recent fights have been on sky and box office platform not box nation. He is an overpriced woman beating illiterate lucky prick who could never carry a fight off his own back, he needs a big opponent to sell big because he is not exciting and has no punch power.

Come on @Master, "he needs a big opponent"? The reason for that is the he is a "big opponent"! You want it both ways, he needs a big opponent, yet he's a cherry picker!
And how many of these "big opponents" that he's met in his career have beat him?
YOU are the main reason Floyd attracts so much attention and consequently the money that goes with it! It's not rocket science, even A prick like Broner has worked it out!
After losing on Saturday, the first thing he said (after the customary thanking of God , naturally) was , to the chorus of boos, " I would like to thank everybody, fans and those that hate me, because you're the reason I get paid these big amounts of money."
Says it all.

couple of reasons Floyd attracts so much attention

he's a complete cock and most people want to see him beaten

and for a period he was the only real elite American fighter, least the only one that had an continual interest and that fought regularly

Floyd has been on Sky twice in 10 years - Mosley ("free") and Pac (PPV).

I believe that was PPV, so that means 2 PPV fights in the UK in 10 years and 9 that have not been PPV

When you consider that Hatton was the biggest star in the UK at the time and Mayweather v Pacman was the biggest fight in recent years its Not too bad if you ask me @Master

I am sure Saul Alvarez was on sky.

Nah I'm 99% certain it was Boxnation, I think that was before Matchroom had stole the monopoly.

*edit*

Just checked and it was Boxnation

And all Mayweather haters think that he hand picked every easy fight possible even though many of them were thought to be able to compete much better than they did. There were very few fighters that I think Floyd kind of avoided during his career. He was so much better than most people that it didn't matter who he fought, he was going to make his opponent look bad.

Master is so anti-Sky/Hearn/Floyd that his tiny little brain turned them into a conglomerate.

Floyd was hardly ever shown pre-Oscar. The only time he got on Sky before that was Oscar undercards (Sky were the only place showing international fights back then). Corrales and Gatti were live. That's about it until maybe Baldomir/Oscar.

Floyd's never been on UK terrestrial TV once in his entire career. Thank fuck for the internet/BoxNation/Sky, it is fantastic these days compared to the dark old days that twerps like Master (and loads of other folk his/my age) pine for.

^Right there is why Floyd is so popular. Desperate delusional hate. And these types are so desperate they will always pay.

If these people could just say "he's damn good but he bores me" they could win. But they can't win because they need their delusion "Floyd can't sell" they hate the man. This means Floyd has established an emotional connection to these people. There are countless studies about how humans are programmed with a fundamental need to be right. Ever got into a fight with a significant other and later realized you don't even really care about what the fight is about? This is what Floyd has done. He's made a bunch of irrational girlfriends out of fans. If they can't be honest, they are so connected that they are willing to lie to themselves and others, he's got them. Because deep in the brain these people have a need to be right and a need to see it.

Floyd can't sell. A person was willing to write that the greatest selling boxer of all time, and by a wide margin, can't sell. You could spread delusion like that on toast.

Do not over analyse it, I have never paid and never will.
