For a guy that was supposed to be a face, he sure couldn't pull it off at all. I just don't like the guy period. He's got something about him that can you make him easily.

Because we don't have to like everything WWE throws at us, that's why. I just don't like the guy and can't wait until his match at WrestleMania is over and done with, so he can leave wrestling and never come back.

I cannot stand the way you Americans boo the guy, he is a truly great boxing champion, just because he says he is the best and everything is not a good enough reason to hate and boo the guy.
He says all that and then he backs it all up, if he was a UK'er we would treasure him as the great champion he is.
So cut out all this hate for the guy.

Because him, his crew, and this angle sucks. one this angle or gimmick does not suck . have you ever heard on ALI vs monsoon,Ali VS Andre,Ali vs inoki , or mike Tyson vs Austin. everytime this angle/gimmick has been done it was success. so it does not suck . you just don't understand how the wrestling business works. dude tyson and ali were/are household names. i bet alot of people never heard of mayweather until this angle started. when you get greats like ali or a man like tyson of course it'll be success because ali was someone to look up to and tyson was someone you just wouldn't mess with. all mayweather got is his money.

A) hes a boxer NOT a wrestler. Its called Wrestlemania not Boxamania
B) His acting SUCKS. They should have gotten Antonio Tarver. At least we know he can act
C) His lil "posse" thug groupies isnt cool or "dangerous" I would put money on the Raw Roster
D) i dont see how anyone can say hes the best boxer. Last time I checked Boxing sucks. The days of Ali, Frazier, Tyson, Foreman and Holyfield are over. The only thing left is a guy that dresses in drag, "money" and a couple of Russians

Mayweather probaly gets nervous on the mic due to the fact, he doesnt cut promo's in boxing, so hes new to it. I'm personally loving the way WWE is building this fued. I still dont know how WWE is gunna book the match though....

Some of you REALLY need to watch programs other than wrestling. From some of the crap i've read on here, it's like you have nothing else in your lives but wrestling... I cannot stand the way you Americans boo the guy, he is a truly great boxing champion, just because he says he is the best and everything is not a good enough reason to hate and boo the guy. He says all that and then he backs it all up, if he was a UK'er we would treasure him as the great champion he is. So cut out all this hate for the guy. As for you, The US bashing wasn't needed. It's funny, people take issue with Some Americans who act like they're better than everyone, but it's perfectly ok for you morons to say the EXACT same crap about your country? off.

You Yanks have no appreciation for brilliant boxing, Mayweather is a household name in our country so how could you guys not know who he is. Plus Boxing is in brilliant shape and form, so many great fights recently and so many great fights coming up, can't wait for Woods/Tarver & Calzaghe/Hopkins, our boys are gonna tan you're lots asses, but of course you don't care about boxing. American viewers and fans are what is suffocating boxing not the quality of the boxing.

Its just simple Boxing is a dying sport. 13 mins of jabs just isnt entertaining when things like K1, UFC, WEC are on TV. If we want to watch fighting we want to see FIGHTING, not punch punch punch rest, punch punch DANCE punch rest. I use to love boxing but its lost its luster. Other then Tarver, Hopkins, Mayweather and the lil cross dressing fairy I couldnt name you another boxer or even who 1 of the 48 world champions they have

Do you really need to ask? Mayweather has no place being in a WWE any time, let alone being in one at Wrestlemnia. Some of you may say that the whole posse thing is scripted but i can see this getting way out of hand.
Oh and the fact that Vince is paying him $20 million to make a few appearances doesnt exactly sit well with the fans or the superstars.

I blame WWE for it's failure at making Mayweather seem the face. He jumped in to save/defend Rey at NWO, promote that. Instead they let his attitude go and basically let the crowd hate him. In pro wrestling a rich, cocky guy is always a heel, ala MDM.

Guys like Fury and I have been defending Mayweather from day 1.
He has the perfect mixture for a celebrity in WWE. He works the crowd like a magician and he can sell well. They're the 2 things you need to be a really good celebrity in WWE, and Mayweather does both extremely well.

He is cocky and an idiot in real life. He is very unproffesional in his role, or at least his 'crew' And the angles he is in sucks.
I hope the injury to Mayweather is real, and damn you Big Show, you should of dropped him on his head.

I was at Raw last nite and I've never seen a crowd so racially split. I was up in the nose bleeds b/c I didnt want to spend to much on a RAW and plus Im going to Wrestlemania anyway. Well anyway my point. I was sitting around alot of black people OMG they were into Mayweather. As soon as his ****ting rap music hit they weere bopping and dancing to it and cheering him. And everytime he got booed b/c his boxing ass does not belong in a WWE ring especially for 20 million dollars so he can beat the Big Sow..every black person was calling the people that booed Mayweather a racist. Who would have thought that this match would be soo racially divided. I think most people are hating Mayweather b/c Hes a boxer getting paid wayyyyyyyyyy too much money for one appearance and and they all know hes gonna win...which takes any credibility the big show has. I noticed the racial spilt too at Smackdown in Cleveland last Friday (Tuesday). There were a lot of minority fans around me who loved mayweather but a lot of the white people either had no idea who he was or knew him from dancing with the stars. As for the guy from england complaining about Americans not liking boxing, why don't you just accept that fact that we have different cultures. Do you see us complaining about the lack of popuarity of American footballin your country? no, because I could care less what the english find entertaining. I think the biggest thing we all hate about this angle is that they are going to have Mayweather win ortherwise why would he do it? I knw its sripted and all that, but they do need to maintain a certain reality to it, as there is no way Mayweather would every come close to beating the big show. It is not even conceivable as something that could ever happen and so when it does happen it just makes wrestlign seem even more make. I know its fake, but you don't need to remind me with stupid storylines. Its like Mysterio being champion, he's billed as 165 (even though that meatball has to be at least 180-190) your not going to overcome a 80lb difference against "top-level" wrestlers in reality.

I think you pretty much answered your own question, from my point of view anyway. Wrestling is fake and he is supposed to be playing a part, but he couldn't. It was clear that WWE wanted him going into Mania as the face but he is just so unlikable that it was impossible. He couldn't play the role of a good guy and it is clear after Raw last night that WWE realized that and now Show is the face

Dude, totally different, there was a time where Boxing was the biggest thing in the States, American Football has never been big over here, they are not comparable.
