Floyd wasnt nearly as big as he now before the DLH fight. Im hardcore and i can honestly say that.

You nikkas got it confused thinking Floyd been hated by white folks his entire career.

Yeah. The hatered and Floyd act started with the Gatti fight.

yeah, this is when I remember it starting too.

Gatti was a hero to casual and (white) hardcore boxing fans at that point, and I bet a lot of them even favored Gatti. When Floyd beat his ass, people were mad.

But Floyd did not become a superstar until the DLH fight. Same with Manny.

Nah. I would say when he came out in those Mexicans colors at the DLH fight. The white folks at my party were steaming. nikkas was partying like shyt.


I remember it starting with the Gatti fight and all of the angry white guy hatered being spewed when he kept calling Gatti a B-rated club figther not on his level. He was mad bragadocious about it and people hoped Gatti would shut his mouth.

People wouldn't hate Floyd as much as they do if it weren't for 24/7. It all started with the De La Hoya one...him flashing his money, changing his alias to "Money", him dressing as a Mexican to enter the ring, etc.

People didn't care about Floyd as much, even after the whole fiasco with Roger & Zab's father in the ring after their fight. Floyd was still a "good guy" back then.

That's a gatdayum lie.

The casual fan/consumer is what carries most big products in the world.

Boxing is no different. Die Hard money is small compared to the casual consumer which drawfs the die hard fan.

You mad....

never mad nikkka, just speakin my shyt.

nikkka please lets not act like the die hard aren't consumers as well, casuals only show up for big fights. die hards are the ones who follow and build them up them throughout their careers and spread the word about them being the next big thing and set up the big fights. who the fuk is putting money in them when they first starting out?

who the fuk was putting money in floyd when he had his first fight in a small ass casino against apcodeca in front of 400 people, damn sure not the casuals.

i aint got nothing against the casuals but like i said , the die hards keep this shyt alive.

This guy Mannix is arguing with some dude right now, Shea from Irving called in calling out Mannix for saying Floyd was ducking. Mannix is saying even if they fight you can't tell who was better, because it's too late. Comedy

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
its so many belts and weight classes nobody gives a fukk about how many titles you won

i bet most people dont even know what belt Pac lost saturday or what belt(s) Floyd has right now

I didn't say anything about title belts you dumb bytch.. its the fact that no one else has gotten a belt in 8 DIFFERENT weight classes , not to mention he cleaned out featherweight and welterweight aside from May of course.. go ahead and downplay it though

That's a good point, and the diehards still be there when the big 2 are gone and the public stops watching

DUMB.

What the fukk is "acting like?" Niqqa.....die hard consumers are SMALL in number compared to CASUAL FANS. That's my point.

casuals only show up for big fights. die hards are the ones who follow and build them up them throughout their careers and spread the word about them being the next big thing and set up the big fights.


Oh my god!!! Dude just explained to me the captain obvious movements of a die hard fan. you're now saying that die hard fans turn everyone in to die hard fans. No....that's what a PR team is for. Die hard fans follow a boxer/product. Wow....who didn't know that? The bottom line is, Die Hard fans aren't what makes a product sell out the word work. The Die Hard fan isn't making the general or public's imagination going wild for a product.

It's obvious that you've never taken a business class a day in your friggin life if you're giving die hard fans EQUAL monatary impact as the casual fan.

You damn right you just speaking shyt. It's called jiberrish.
