I Was A Fan...

[bushidoAfrica]

Has anyone here stop liking a fighter as there popularity grew?

Just thought this would make an interesting thread.

 

[XCuTioNeR]

No, this isn't ufc.

 

[Cracky]

Yeah...as Floyd's popularity grew he seemed to talk more and fight less.. I became less and less of a fan..

rofl zing! :icon_lol:

David Haye, his popularity exploded after beating Valuev which is directly linked to him avoiding the Klit brothers today.

 

[Joey Sangfroid]

trinidad, but became disgusted on how he'd retire every time he lost.

 

[aldeniro78]

Klit brothers. Damn.

Joe Calzaghe. He was always a bit of a nut but he became one of the biggest douches in the sport after he beat Lacy.

Yeah, random people claiming there his fans came out of nowhere and preceded to grope his ball.

pac man, his nut hugging fans are worse than fedor, bj penn, and brock lesnar fans combined

Not really, all top rated fighters in history had their crazy fan boys saying the word "goat" more than a farmer who deals exclusively with goats. I just like watching talent technique and master strategists go to work in the ring. Right now the best are Pac and Floyd. They both have crazy followers but that doesn't mean I have to hate them. I just hate stupid people who follow sports figures like they follow a religion.

Pac man

 

[Cracky]

Pac man

I just don't understand how anybody can hate Pacman...


I mean.. I get it.. some of his fans over-estimate his potential.. I hated tito for that reason.. but I never missed a fight.. and I can't remember a single time where he let me down.. he always brought it for the fans.. so I didnt hate him so much as I hated his fans..

Now Pac has the same kind of thing going.. he always comes to fight.. he is fast enough that he could box and play it safe and take easy decisions but he wants people to be happy that they bought his fights...

I just don't see anything there to hate

 

[justblaze717]

I don't hate him, just want to see him lose to Mayweather. Seems like everybody always has to take a side with those two.

I also want to see him against a black fighter.

I agree with everything you said. Who cares about Pacquiao's insane fans. The dude is amazing. Never talks shit, just fights his heart out every time he gets in the ring. How can you dislike someone like that? Its wrong to blame him for being popular. All sports legends have retarded fans..... That's just the way it is.

Not this again..lol.. Clottey is black

You'll get your wish in his next fight if you mean black american..

Floyd, Berto, Mosely, Bradley, and Alexander are prominant options with JMM being in the mix as well.. I hope he fights the winner of Alexander vs. Bradley if Mayweather bout doesnt happen

Yea I want to see him at 140 vs Alexander next.

The only fights I want to see at 147 is either Mayweather or Paul Williams.

i just found out that froch isn't even truly british.

Those who hate Manny Pacquiao are either PBF fanatics or racist dip$hits.

Manny Pacquiao rarely talks shit, comes from very humble origins, a true Cinderella story, fights all comers, and the very best, and honestly...I have never seen a boring fight with him. Even his fight with Clottey was enjoyable. How you can hate Pacquiao is beyond me.

And the "...his fans are too crazy..." yeah, there are a few who think Pacquiao is God but hating him because his fans is ridiculous.

LOL, I still laugh at the "...he never fights black people..." argument.

Tell me this you fu*king morons...what black person was a serious contender or huge name during Pacman's rise to the top?

Zab Judah?
Shane Mosley?
PBF? (whom as torpedoed all negotiations and doesn't know the meaning of compromise)

HEre is the bottom line, these weight classes are dominated by Mexicans and other Latinos.

MAB, Morales and JMM among others...and Miguel Cotto

Stupid racist Fu*ks...simple as that. Those who claim that only "white people can be racist" should take a good look at this forum and those who hate on Pacquiao because he allegedly "dodges black fighters."

Some people eventually hate a fighter because that fighter turned into a douchebag.

You hate Pacman because of his fans? Really? You have to be kidding.

Can't find anything to hate against the man himself so you blame his fans. Nice.
