I don't quite know what you mean by "the hard way" - what hard way did gatti earn his fans? by fighting a slug fest? that wasn't him earning fans the hard way, that was gatti doing the only thing he could do... respect for him, but why should we all get our dicks out and shoot one off for gatti and his wars when he done what he could only do, whilst sure mayweather will never be in a major war like gatti, but he done things his way and is a fuck lot more succesfull

LEt me tell ya sumin... its a hell of alot harder to earn your fans through pure skill than going in there going all out... coz thos guys lose and wecheer them again coz they are freaking nuts... whislt guys like mayweather have to be at their absolute best and keep on winning convincinly otherwise they lsoe 'fans' and get shit on time and time again.

this thread is more of a "name who you love" coz hardly any of the ones said have earnd their fans the hard way.. winky and carlos have, going all over the place for shit money fighting shit guys to try and get somewhere, getting shit and and screwed now thats the fucking hard way, getting paid a shit load of cash to go in there and win or lose as long as you excit, it may be brave, it may be borde rline crazy, but ti sure as hell isn't the hard way... tbh its prolly the easiest way, coz it doesn't require the skill of a p4p champ.
