Does Floyd Mayweather Matter?

[hisuka]

He really doesn't matter at all. He is just stage element. He is advertising what he is paid for. Don't let these kind of ads for your investments you will regret.

He slightly matters. He brings mainstream exposure and a high probability of mainstream adoption. At the very least, more people will buy into the ICO even if they don't understand the tech behind it because Mr. "Money".

I agree, he really matters at all because Mayweather attracts more investors in cryptocurrency. And also he is the bridge that people will become aware of and will invest in.

It is too late for Floyd Mayweather promotion. stox used it and it never work again. I don't like those kind of promotions.

[PokerDiceMan]

i think floyd mayweather not invest , not team
but ico project this thread centra, only pay floyd mayweather can promote or only post in twitter account about centra project

[ahmedjamal1998]

Well that centra project hasn't even caught my attention yet to see what it's all about.
But just seeing that the invested money is being used in the wrong way makes me stay more away from it and even think about it.

Can you guys imagine how much money (in millions of course) were paid to write that tweet of mayweather's account ?
That's just ridiculous. As if this whole crypto community on bitcointalk isn't enough for the devs and they want even more money out of it.
Do anybody else other than me feel that this is gonna end so badly ?

I agree with you that this type of marketing could lead us down a bad road. Is it marketing hype for a coin that has little to no substance? Investors won't do their due diligence because a sports celebrity, who likely knows nothing about either crypto and/or fintech, promoted it.

However, I don't agree with you about promoting only on bitcointalk. Many crypto investors don't know this forum exists or they don't use it. I think developers are right to try to reach audiences beyond this website. It might make this website  grow too.

We should remember Centra is good project. This project had raised enough money to hire floyd. That is a good point

[batang_bitcoin]

Even without the ad for Centra, it is a good project. And with the paid advertisement coming from Floyd Mayweather it's a good ad for centra to gain more investors. But without a doubt that Floyd does have some crypto followers and he can attract some investors for the project so he does really matter in a little way. And for us who are looking the real project, ads doesn't really matter.

[Yauthitdar]

he already made marketing for stox and huubi network and now centra.i think  most of his fans from USA and people from usa cant participate to icos.why projects using him for marketing i dont understand.

[Thinvestor]

I dont give a shit about floyds advertising ICOs. I imagine many people feel the same.

That does seem to be logically correct that they would have raised enough money to hire Floyd for advertising. The amount he would have charged for the advertisement would have been quite an amount of money. I have not yet had a look at Centra's project but all this buzz about its ICO is quite tempting and I will have a look at it to see whether its worthy enough to invest in.

[MiXxe]

Yes it matter it will done a big attraction in the investors and Floyd is more than an advertisements in some big cryptonews because he is know not only in the internet he has a wide range of audience so definitely by promoting any ICO like Floyd will have a big up for the ICO promotion . Just read how STOX ICO raised money in just a single day.

[avp2306]

Floyd's presence is a huge boost for the centra and it can lure people to invest to the project since investors may know that the project is so good since there advertiser is so famous guy. Centra will be a big project among the other ICO here.

[SchlaWinner]

as much as i hate this kind of advertising, simply because its mostly bullshit.. But on the other hand, a lot of mainstream money goes into crypto circulation with people like floyd advertising for crypto.. thats probably quite a good thing, especially with an ICO that aims to have a CC you can pay in crypto with.. avg joe realizes the uses of crypto -> never goes back

win - win

[Synaesthesia]

and it make many people care about centra project... even hacker ) centra website get hacked last day but everything still under control. lucky for them

[the rise]

Perhaps Mayweather is interested in the success of ICO from Aventus since the project handled some of its last match tickets against McGreggor. This time he came back with Centra, this created many effects where Centra became more popular, but unfortunately the Centra team was unable to deal with hacker attacks quickly. I think what he did would have a positive impact on the participation of other famous personalities.

[rtom1990]

FYI Floyd is actually a partnerof Centra, you can see it on the website

[NRF]

Hope with this ad Centra token can over Monaco Or 1/2 of monaco still better. Am I dream?

[MV7]

I doubt the people he markets to actually know about cryptocurrencies. They'd probably look at this Instagram and think "wtf is an ICO?" Not sure why so many projects are paying (presumably) this guy to promote their ICOs when this is probably the case.

[thejaytiesto]

Floyd Mayweather has huge social media influence, so if you manage to get him to pump your coin you've done a good job getting your coin out there. I don't see how Floyd itself cares too much about anything crypto, he's just taking advantage of his position that allows him to sit back, make an instagram post and get paid millions, because I assume that these people are paying him a ton for these posts, otherwise Floyd wouldn't bother.

But who knows, maybe Floyd is really getting into crypto and sees the value. He may not be too intelligent but he's definitely sharp.

[Zeeks]

Just a puppet being used to promote a project in order to pump and dump it efficiently.
