Now what does that tell pbf fans!?
Pbf wont be able to go anywhere publicly
without ridicule and the record he`s shooting for will mean nothing in the eyes of millions.

I watched the warriors game pbf being boooooed
was the best part of the night even though the Warriors won.

Ya can't argue with success Highway,, no matter how we feel about Floyd
He has kicked everyone's ass, including Manny's.
So I think its time to give him his due.
Gotta separate his persona and personal affairs from his boxing skills.
As we did with Liston, Hurricane Carter, Bowe, Tyson ect ect...
Tyson was a rapist,, and now they love him... even does Vegas and dthe late
night circuit... millionaire all over again.

There is no question that boxing purists acknowledge and celebrate his skills and accomplishment. No bout adout that! Hehehehe!

However, the stigma of his "boring style", unwillingness (or inability) to exchange, or go for the kill, will forever be his label. (They will not remember his battle with Castillo, Gatti, or Coralles.) He was an exciting boxer during his prime but since mid-30's, he has learned, developed, and adapted tactics that avoid losses at all cost. It is a paradoxical consequence: because of it, many dislike him and watch him only with one motivation - see him lose. Paradoxical in a sense that this tactic is actually what made him the highest paid athlete!

Publicly, he will never be seen as TBE. He will be derided and booed. But like you say, with the millions in his empire, he will simply laugh it off. It is ironic but one media says that Mayweather "won the battle but lost the war".

What was sold as "Fight of the Century" is a flop and the resulting distaste for the sport by the general public will follow Mayweather everywhere. For his "hometown" to boo him especially after a win demonstrates the general sentiment that 12 rounds of boxing where the adversaries are largely untouched and unscathed is not what boxing is about. And it's certainly not worth a half a billion dollars of revenue.

When you have this, people are after you, you and your family are at risk. You need protection.
To many crazy peeps out there, can't trust no one not even Tyson.
