Did you know who Mayweather was before his involvement in wrestling?
 

Let's settle it.

Yes.

I watch SportsCenter every morning so yeah, I knew who he was.

I knew the name, but not really who he was.

I knew who he was and, although I'm not a fan of boxing, have seen him fight a couple times.

Nope.

I knew he was a boxer in a lighter than heavyweight weight class but that's about it. I really find boxing boring.

Are you fucking kidding me, 6 people didn't know who Floyd Mayweather was? Come on now, retards. He is an amazing boxer.

Even though I don't follow boxing, really good boxers will always be in the news so I knew who he was even if I didn't know how he looked like.

^ Exactly, do you guys who said no, not follow the news or somethin?

BDC- He's beaten the best every country has had to offer in his division, his record is 39-0. that's why.

I knew he's a boxer and that he is black, but other than that...

I've heard the name before, but didn't actually know who he was.

yes 100%

Sorry that was a typo, bdc, dunno how that happened.

Nope.

Never even heard his name before this.

I didn't, but maybe it's because I'm in the UK and only ever watch the Sports channels for WWE.

Maybe boxing is more of a big deal stateside, but the only boxing I usually watch is when I break out the Rocky movies.

I knew the name, but not who he was, what he looked like, or what he had done. And I only remembered that I knew the name after hearing it at NWO. Kinda like "Yeah, I know that name..."

So I'll vote no.

I didn't, but maybe it's because I'm in the UK and only ever watch the Sports channels for WWE.

Well if you would've watched sky sports news you would've heard about the hatton/mayweather fight alot, im amazed you've never bothered to watch that news channel.

Just face it, a lot of people didn't know who the fuck he was.

16-14 in favour of yes, tbh. which shows quite a few more than you think do know of him.

That's me--Never following the news.

Boxing isn't news.

And no. I heard his name in passing because I follow the NFL and NBA more than casually, but I didn't know who he was.

A better question is why I should know him if I don't follow Boxing.

Interesting, I thought he was well known in the US but it's possible that we here in the UK have had him rammed down our throats more. Do you guys know who De La Hoya is?

I just asssumed that with Mayweather being by far the greatest boxer in the hottest division in boxing meant he was very popular, especially in the States where you guys like your champs.

Lol. Profiling aside, I think De La Hoya is sort of popular. He was on a Simpson's episode.

Well Mayweather beat De La Hoya with Jack Nicholson, Michael Jordan and that lass from Desperate Housewives in attendance. People like Michael Jordan...he was a good baseball player.

Do you guys know who Tiger Woods is?

Yeah I know him, I didn’t really know anything about him until that De La Hoya fight, then when the Hatton fight stuff kicked into gear I knew a heck of a lot more about him, most of my knowledge of him comes from Sky Sports News (our version of ESPN)

I amazed if anyone who catches 30 mins of Sky Sports News a day (like most men should :mad: ) that you haven’t heard of him.

He is right now, the best active boxer in the world

Shane was pushing to either get a boxer or an MMA fighter, I don’t care how popular Chuck Lidell is, more people worldwide would know who Mayweather is

Xero's theory and poll is taking a beatdown at the moment.:p

Ice skater?

i dont even know who he is after his involvement in wrestling

Yeah, he;s that guy from the Street Fighter Games!

:roll:

No, but seriously. Apart from being a golfer who has broken a perceived age and colour barrier, Woods actually has, you know, crossover status.

When Mayweather is modeling underwear, the two'll be comparable.

I get it, they get on your radar when they're modelling underwear.
