Why would a normal good person pull for Mayweather over PAC?

[JustinCruise]

You are so far off its not funny.

AP is 1/53rd of the Vikings . That's less then 2%.

Mayweather is 100% of Mayweather.

Stop comparing team sports to individual sports and please don't compare steroids to beating women. It makes you look dumb

My issue with your original post is that you insinuated that anyone who roots for Mayweather or anyone that even likes Mayweather is a bad person. Blanket judgments like that are a dangerous thing.

I like tennis, and invidual sport. I hate Serena Williams because of her horrible attitude and her being a terrible person in general. There is no difference between what you posted and me saying "Anyone who pulls for Serena Williams is not a good person"

Isn't what he said at all Cruise. He asked why would anyone who is a good person root for Mayweather, he didn't say if you root for Mayweather it immediately disqualifies you from being good.

Nice to have you back.

I just think it's up to each person's personal preference. Guys beating their girls doesn't make me stop watching the NFL. I don't respect those guys and hope they fail miserably but other people might cheer for them.

I really don't see though how you can think the guy is a scumbag wife beater but like him as a fighter? The two can't be separated right?

To each his own though.

Why can't they be separated? What if you think he is an awesome fighter and enjoy watching him fight and that is as far as it goes with you?

The fight is 40 mins long, people watch it then go back to their lives. Deciding which boxer to root for over 40 mins doesn't have to be a moral judgement.

It's just my opinion Pats. I can't root for a wife beater.

its hard to have respect for someone when they treat boxing matches like a sparring round. The guy in incredibly talented and dodging opponents inside the ring is fine, but dont run and cherry pick punches just to win on the score cards. You are getting paid millions, man up. Never stepping in the ring with fighters until they are old or washed up earns you no respect either. Its not who you win or how many times you win, its how you beat them and when.
Imagine if Dikembe Mutombo only took charges in a basketball game to foul people out. Yea its a strategy and maybe it works but its also get you little respect from the fans.

The bigger question is who watches a sport where the game is played, and then 3 douchebags that routinely fuck up decide who won?

 

[pocketrockets]

Totally disagree with OP's statement. Saying if you are a fan of Mayweather you aren't a good person??

That's like saying no good person could root for a baseball player that used steroids, or the team that picks up Adrian Peterson because he beat a child.

Essentially the OP is saying that GOOD people can ONLY be fans of sports teams or individuals that share their moral compass. If that was the case tiger woods wouldn't the most popular golfer on the planet.

It is perfectly acceptable for the OP to dislike Mayweather for whatever reason he wants BUT he must also be willing to accept that other fans can LIKE him for whatever reason they want as well.

If I started a thread like this I would be crucified.

I for one agree 100% with chop on this one.

And Cruise, can you spend one day, one day o this Earth without flashing how much of a pussy you are?

Mr. Mark is on fire, one of my favorite posts this one

1. Steroids are beneficial to the game and one's health
2. The world is better if Mayweather and his entire family were executed after being tortured
3. You are crucified because you are a geek.
4. You are to stat saying you are from Kentucky, you are giving Indiana a bad name

CHOP is the Braves lone world series tainted for you considering how they were propelled to victory?

Betting on Mayweather.


Rooting for Pac...

This fight is as fixed as they come.....ANYTHING for a rematch. Outcome is likely a close decision for MM.

 

[BAGIANT]

He's a gambler like the rest of us who puts 6 figures where his mouth is....what's not to like?

 

[weezyfbaby]

I'm not saying Floyd's not a bad person because he is but I don't understand why that makes everyone think mannys a good guy. He's a real piece of shit too if you look into his personal life. Obviously not to Floyd's extent but Freddie roach saying it's good vs evil is pretty funny it's more like kind of shitty vs evil.

You've just taken your first step towards world domination...

Mayweathr is despicable but I'm more pissed off at Pacquio for going along with this. The scumbag ducks him for years until he loses a bit off his fastball and then finally wants to fight him now. I have zero respect for this Ahole despite his record which should be pockmarked with asterisks.

Now we all know that Russ is the only one of us who bets six figures. (That's a lot of Monopoly money!)
