Why is Floyd Mayweather able to attract so much attention?

It's a strong argument because it's very well backed up with the money he makes and the popularity he has. I'm not saying that you are influencing others, in saying that there are many people like you that just love to hate him which is why he is so popular. People love to hate him.

On that basis money and popularity would justify Justin Bieber too and that is a step too far. I don't hate Justin Bieber either, but do think his followers are deluded and that his music is mediocre. Maybe he can hold a note, but that doesn't justify the material or how silly the fans are. Kind of similar with Floyd. I respect his skills, but I don't enjoy seeing him fight and prefer to watch other fighters.
