15 Reasons To Hate Floyd Mayweather
So, there’s this big match coming up in the boxing world that’s got everyone in a tizzy. Even if you’re not a fan of the sport, you probably haven’t been able to avoid coverage of it on ESPN – it’s the match between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. The primary reason that everyone is so turnt up for this boxing match has to do with Floyd Mayweather and what a colossal jerk he is. If you’re not familiar with his history, then you may not be aware of all the reasons people have to hate him. For your benefit, we’re going to review those reasons.

1. Supreme Arrogance
For starters, Floyd Mayweather happens to be one of the biggest egoists in all of sports. This guy is seriously full of himself, and he believes that he is God’s gift to whomever he happens to come in contact with. If you don’t believe us, just plug his name into Google, and you’ll see. Just read a few quotes from him, or better yet take a look at any of his social media accounts. That should get your blood boiling.

2. Abusive
For many, this is the number one reason to despise Floyd Mayweather. Over the years, he’s been charged multiple times with domestic violence. He’s beaten up girlfriend after girlfriend, and there’s never any excuse for that kind of behavior. Of course, some like to conveniently forget this fact – there are, despite all of the reasons that Floyd is a dick, still people that support him. We think those people are dicks, too.

3. Wasteful With Money
You’ve probably noticed that we’ve all been experiencing hard economic times of late. The government doesn’t seem willing to do much about it either. Even if you’re fiscally conservative, can you really look yourself in the mirror and say that anyone can live off of the federal minimum wage? It sucks out there. Which is what makes the fact that there are pictures of Floyd Mayweather burning money all the more infuriating

4. Reprobate Gambler
Look, we get and understand that gambling is a favorite pastime of the rich and famous. After all, they have plenty of money to burn – figuratively not literally, mind you. Given the economic situation we’ve already discussed, it’s probably best that those rich and famous folks who gamble more than what 99% of Americans make in a year keep it to themselves. Floyd Mayweather? He doesn’t do that

5. Flaunts His Wealth
And, it’s not just that Floyd Mayweather likes to flaunt the fact that he’s a reprobate gambler in front of the world, he’ll take advantage of any excuse he has to show of his exorbitant wealth to the world. Like we said, go check out his social media accounts sometime. If he’s hitting part for the Floyd Mayweather course, most of what you see should be pictures of all the ridiculous crap that he’s spent money on.

6. Lame Boxing Matches
Now, we’re not going to argue that professional athletes shouldn’t be paid well. They’ve worked their entire lives to get to where they are, and they do things that the overwhelming majority of people can’t do. That’s why we’ll pay for Pay-Per-View events and the like. But you know what you get when you pay for a Floyd Mayweather fight on Pay-Per-View? A whole lot of nothing. He’s made his career by fighting mostly chumps rather than champs.

7. Friends With Justin Bieber
In today’s world, there is one surefire sign that you’re an awful human being. Do you know what that sign is? That’s right: it’s being friends with Justin Bieber, the biggest piece of excrement ever to grace the stage or screen. Just take a look at the two of them up there, being all chummy. What do you think they talk about? We think they trade tales of their douchery in the same way that veterans might trade old war stories.

8. Racism
Did you know that Floyd Mayweather is a racist? It’s a true story. In the sport of boxing, you’re necessarily going to fight people of all different nationalities; it’s truly a global sport. For most boxers, that’s just the nature of the game, but not for Floyd Mayweather! Oh no! When he takes a boxing match with someone from a different country, he always takes that opportunity to spew racist nonsense. Go see what he’s had to say about Latinos and Asians…

9. Homophobia
If we’re going to give Floyd Mayweather credit for something, it might as well be this: He’s an equal-opportunity bigot. Not only he is an unrepentant racist, he also hates gay people, too. He might deny this fact, but just take a look at comments he’s made in the past. For example, during an on-air interview, he referred to a radio host who was challenging him as an F-word. That’s not a good look, Floyd

10. Dresses Like An Idiot
We’ve already reviewed plenty of the serious reasons that you should hate Floyd Mayweather, his abusive, bigoted nature chief among them. But, there are other, more subtle reasons that you should hate him as well. Just take a look at the way he chooses to dress himself. Only an idiot who has little regard for anyone other than himself would choose the clothing that Floyd Mayweather dons on a daily basis.

11. Mean To Larry Merchant
If you’re a boxing fan, then you know who Larry Merchant is. If not, then we’ll tell you: he’s one of the most respected analysts in the entire sport. In fact, if you ever watch a big boxing match, you can bet that it will be Larry Merchant calling the fight from ringside. He’s a stand up act, which is what made it so perplexing when Floyd Mayweather launched into Larry with an expletive-laden rant following one of his matches.

12. Poor Reading Skills
Here’s one that many people may not even know about Floyd. He can barely read. He may deny it, but plenty of people have corroborated this fact about Floyd over the years. Now, illiteracy is serious, and we don’t want to appear as if we’re making fun of people who can’t read. However, if you’re going to be plunking all that money down on gambling, maybe you could pay for some reading lessons on the side, Floyd

13. Doesn’t Care About The Sport
If you’re the kind of person that doesn’t care about an athlete’s personal life, and you only care about the sport, you still have plenty of reasons to hate Floyd. Even though he makes his living through boxing, it’s clear to pretty much everyone that Floyd’s only in it for the money. That’s the primary reason why Floyd only fights inferior competition, and why people get so miffed when they get the Pay-Per-View bill for one of his fights.

14. His “Perfect” Record
And that’s the thing; when you’re cherry picking your competition as Floyd Mayweather has, you’re necessarily going to be rack up a lot of wins – 47 of them, to be exact about it. Now, Floyd’s definitely got some skill in the ring, nobody’s doubting that. But, that perfect record of his is hardly as impressive as it appears at first blush, which is why so many people are eager to see Manny Pacquiao eviserate him in the ring

15. Pacquiao’s No Saint Either
But, before you give into the narrative that people are telling about this fight – that Manny Pacquiao is the white night who’s going to dethrone the wife-beating, bigoted jerk Mayweather – remember that Pacquiao isn’t exactly the picture of perfection either. Both he and Mayweather share a common interest in hating homosexuals, and Pacquiao also has a history with domestic violence. Maybe these two could just knock each other out? It would make us feel a lot better
