^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.
