By RBK Go To PostMaybe he has good reason.
By Slizz Go To PostThe morality shit thats come up because of Floyd specifically for this fight is moronic.But nobody's saying that their dislike of Mayweather makes them less interested in the fight :s
If you dig deep enough every sporting event should be un-watchable. The Super Bowl, World Cup, World Series etc. They all have some sort of very dark history related with their sport or specifically that event.
Floyd majority decision btw. It's going the distance.
And in a one on one sport, of course personality preferences come to the fore
Like Hitch said, this is a one-on-one sport, and not only that, but Mayweather uses his elite fighting skills (literally what he's being paid to do!) to beat up on women.
You can still discuss and be disgusted by the man and still appreciate his skill as a fighter. Everyone has to draw a line somewhere, though.

By reilo Go To PostRT @MichelleDBeadle: I, along with @Rachel__Nichols, have been banned from the MGM Grand Arena for the fight tonight by the Mayweather camp. #TheFightGameWonder if Stone Cold would ban her from WrassleMania.
How can anyone like this dude?
By RBK Go To PostThat's why you shouldn't be quick to judgement reliore.Things that RBK supports:
Wife-beaters (Floyd Mayweather)
Pedophiles (Dwight Howard)
Prostitute Lovers (James Harden)
Maybe we should be judging you?
help
They're just white wife-beaters with goatees.

@BonnieBernstein
HBO source confirms @MichelleDBeadle's credential has just been cleared for Mayweather fight. Not sure about @Rachel__Nichols
By reilo Go To PostThings that RBK supports:Beadle supports wife beaters too, brehs.
Wife-beaters (Floyd Mayweather)
Pedophiles (Dwight Howard)
Prostitute Lovers (James Harden)

I don't judge. Nor should I truly really care.
Even if they do all of these things...
Relio stay taking Ls

By Slizz Go To PostThe morality shit thats come up because of Floyd specifically for this fight is moronic.not moronic at all. in team sports, there's always one player or underlying story you are rooting for.

whether an old vet ring chasing or very likeable guy on a team, or rooting for a player beating some kind of record, but whatever the case, Mayweather has nothing going for him to root for.
Beadle is a fucking hypocrite. Anyone from ESPN popping shit about Mayweather needs to find a mirror and start a laugh track.
but these dudes are scumbags, mayweather is just louder - but at least he isn't affecting policy somewhere
By K@do Go To Postnot moronic at all. in team sports, there's always one player or underlying story you are rooting for.and pac openly worked against gay rights in his country lol

i never argued either were saints breh,
my argument was there's nothing likeable about mayweather,
nothing to cling onto to root for.

I'm leaning towards this being a split decision. Mayweather's favour. Dat September rematch.
Watching this at work is going to be hassle

By K@do Go To Posti never argued either were saints breh,according to crappy narratives handed out by press who still have the habit of handing in their homework at the last second, sure.

By K@do Go To Postholy crap. pay per view is charging $99?Yup.
The problem with the media narrative is that it's been framed as good vs evil and everyone is conviently forgetting Pac has a very shady past too. Homophobic comments, decadent gambling, serial adultery. Nary an article mentioning any of it.
But Mayweather is a woman beater and I don't think you can complain when journalists write about it. Complain about what they aren't saying about Pac.

Yeah, Pac deserves more hate, Mayweather doesn't deserve any less.
I never understood the Pac love 'because Floyd is a bad person' not to get into which evil is worse argument but Pac has pull and political power over an entire country where he's suppressing gay and women's rights.
That's some powerful, long lasting evil.

It's okay to fuck over an entire gender just don't hit them.
By IWMTB19 Go To PostYeah, Pac deserves more hate, Mayweather doesn't deserve any less.it was surprising to see a bunch of pacquiao commercials these past several weeks but haven't come across one mayweather commercial. you would think mayweather being american would give him more sway in the commercial industry.
By psychintellect Go To PostI can't help but feel that a lot of this is grandstanding.Seriously, who the fuck cares about what they do or don't do outside of the ring? I could not careless how they spend their time when not beating on people. I just want to be entertained for an hour and have a good time. They could be plotting the Holocaust Part II on their free time and I wouldn't think anymore or less about either of them. It's only entertainment!

I think maybe we should hold entertainers to higher standards if the money they make from our watching them allows them to be terrible people in real life?
By db Go To PostI think maybe we should hold entertainers to higher standards if the money they make from our watching them allows them to be terrible people in real life?Unless you're trying to be a hitman like Aaron Hernandez, nah.
I give two fucks about their respective backgrounds. I just want Pac to win because he is the underdog.
By db Go To PostI think maybe we should hold entertainers to higher standards if the money they make from our watching them allows them to be terrible people in real life?That ship sailed long ago.
While I'm sure GQ is just trolling, there are people that legitimately think that. Just look at all the garbage you can find on TV now.
Osama could have made a Real Housewives show and everyone would have loved him.
Barkley was right, they're not role models. In fact, the vast majority of them are people that come from questionable backgrounds and are lucky (some would say blessed) to be physically gifted enough to be able to make massive amounts of money from sport.
While my previous post was obvious hyperbole, it's not far from the reality of the situation. We're all going to watch this fight tonight regardless of what anyone of us thinks of either of these guys and we'll continue to tune in to these events because we love sports.
In closing.....

side stories that polarize both sizes makes for a more engaging fight.
