re: How can anyone root for Mayweather?

I fully agree with OP. Guys is a bum, but so is Jordan (not close to the same degree). People, especially young people, usually value money and success >>>>>>>>>>> morals and goodness. This fight is good vs evil. I am pulling for Pac, but I'm not putting money him. FM wouldn't fight him in his prime, now that he's dropped a few he's in.

Mayweather may be the greatest defensive boxer we've seen, but he is a documented piece of garbage of a person. Most people, however, find it very easy (and comforting) to separate celebrity's personal lives from their professional.
