Floyd never had an endorsement deal

[Beanflicker]

Floyd did it to himself with his personality IMO. In the ring, I'd put him up there with any boxer who ever lived. Outside the ring, he leaves way too much to be desired.

I read a column about him a few years ago, and I agree 100% with the quote.

"If Floyd played his cards right, he would have been near the Ray Leonard realm of popularity right now. Instead, hes about as beloved as Ray Lewis."

[JT Rock]

He endorses himself pretty damn good.....

I will concede Floyd is will never be at pacs level of stardom, until he makes a shitty action movie with fake machine gun fire and machete wielding yokos

I dont think his out of ring popularity really bothers him... He has made a shiitload of money and has had tremendous success.

I have followed Ray Lewis his whole career albeit cleared of murder charges I think no matter how he was outside of football, the thing that I will always remember about him, is that he was probably the best middle linebacker to ever play the game or at least in the top 3

[The Fightfan]

Wasn't he endorsed by Filty Rich Record's or some such shit. I always seem to remember him having that written on his back.

I think it’s a bit overrated to say that Floyd has made tons of money. Really, think about Oscar De La Hoya, Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, etc.

I reckon Floyd is even in the little league compared to Naseem Hamed money wise, Hamed was everywhere for Addidas and really no one compares to Tysson for commercial success.

No one knows who Floyd is, people still know the name Tyson, mention Mayweather and people say "who" hes only ever been viable as a pay per view event when the opponent was the attraction, Gatti was his first pay per view and that was because of Gatti.

Advertisers arent going to pay money for a personality that isnt known and you have to have a personality to start with, when he stops acting like a horrible little cuunt people might give a shiit, the only reason he wants to comeback now is because Manny has got a little more well known and he thinks he can get a bit of fame rubbing off on to him, his attempt to win Hattons fans didnt work

I forgot to mention Naseem Hamed, you're right. And also, didn't Hamed invest in oil as well? So it’s a bit ridiculous to even call himself "Money".
Imagine if he was a bit more charismatic. We would probably see him in Gatorade ads, Nike, XBox360, Play Station, Nintendo, etc. etc. It would totally benefit him.

I thought he was endorsed by Grant boxing gloves at one point?

I don't believe Floyd Mayweather for a second. He says he's worth $300 million in one interview and $600 million in another. I think he's broke and in debt otherwise why would he continue to rack up interest and penalties with the IRS?

The guy that comes to mind with a big name/image in boxing was Muhammad Ali. He sold the rights to his name image for $50 million to the company that produces American Idol in 2006. I think Pacquiao will surpass that. I read they are showing the fight through out the Philippines in movie theaters and most were already sold out at $10-$20 a seat. I wonder how that stacks up against blockbuster movies?

For sports figures to get enforcements, they need to have a good image. A bad image might sell some products well, like beer, cig. redbull...

[luvfightgame]

Endorsements usually come from being popular and having a good image.

PBF has a record for hitting women, illegitimate children, brags about hanging out in strip clubs, etc. So the image thing is shot.

He's not popular outside of boxing circles because he's not that exciting and he's hard to like after hearing his interviews.

Ray Lewis became a great icon and man in and out of the arena. Floyd is no Ray Lewis, Ray matured and preach positive things to his surroundings. He doesnt go around and talk about how much money he is making or bullshiting. There is no comparison between the two.

Filthy Rich Records is his.
He's the CEO/Owner/VP...
It's his record label which has yet to produce any talent or any hits.

[OumaFan]

The problem with Floyd is he's just not very charismatic, he doesn't interview well, none of that, he thinks being "flashy" makes up for it but it doesn't really. Great fighter though and he's obviously made enough money anway.

I fail to see the correlation... Beanflicker drew the comparison, I simply stated whatever Ray lewis says outside the football field dosent mean a bag of shit to me... he'll always be remembered as a 1 of the top 3 middle linebackers ever to play the game as far as I am concerned.

Hope I cleared up any confusion
