legend Roy Jones speaks on how america treats black boxers and the Ward vs GGG beef

[Sweet Jones]

No one with a shred of honesty can ignore the role of Floyd's woman-beating antics and apologism for the same in his inability to get endorsements. Corporations don't see skin colour. If a fighter is exciting and popular, his skin colour is irrelevant. Ward is a gentleman but inactive and not that popular. Broner is posting videos of himself eating out strippers and wiping his ass with money. Let's be honest here.

And if you want to suggest that a fighter's skin colour affects his general popularity, then you're probably on to something. But the idea that companies consciously discriminate in that way doesn't add up. If it spikes their sales they couldn't care less.

This is just naïve and ridiculously wrong.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

75 percent of Floyds ppv sales didnt come because of his talent. It came because of the sale of his attitude and people wanting to see him lose /get beat up and humbled.

Truth is ,him and his people knew this and he used it along with his calculated matchmaking. Set up the casual public to thinking the opponent has a chance. He beat a bunch of c fighters ,some with names,some with fan friendly styles , some has beens .

There is a stereo type of the brother man. Its that they are loud ,obnoxious ,moronic, cheaters, along with
A false sense of superiority and they dont pay child support. They are mostly hustlers and drug dealers .

They bust a drive by, they curse often ,they have a high rate of black on black crime. So in essence they are looked at as uncaged animals who cant be trusted.

You have your few who walk a straight line and a few who try to seperate themselves and live normal and cut themselves from the cloth. But like i said, 80 percent ruin it for the other 20 percent.

No disrespect, its just being honest.
You walk by a group of 4 black guys at night anywhere and most peoples first thought is , they might try and mug me.

You just a ******ed coward.

[B]When Ward was active he didn't get a lot of hype or publicity


Every black athlete doesn't act like Broner or Floyd, its easy to single out guys who act a fool sometimes, Ward is the complete opposite, hadn't lost since middle school and still nobodies knows him

If he was white, he'd probably be considered the best p4p fighter in the world and have endorsements out the wazoo.....Look at GGG he aint beat nobody elite and the public wants people to believe he is top 3 p4p



Rousey hasn't even fought 15 times and she was supposed to be unbeatable, the best fighter in the world, the fighter of the year yadda yadda, if she was black she'd be just another good fighter, While Floyd is 49-0 has beaten more champions and has more title defenses than she has fights and still gets destroyed by the media whether he acts an azz or not


You must be white, or ignorant if you think race doesn't play apart in who gets endorsements or not....the average joe has enough trouble without discrimination finding a job and keeping one.

so you think they'll throw millions of dollars at a lot of black athletes, which their are a lot of, when they have you go through the gauntlet for minimum wage???

White priveledge exists bro...its sad to say but I see it everyday in america

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

so true....floyd didn't have a single endorsement deal. good thing he didn't need it.

He had at&t and Reebok.

I'm sure him beating up woman didn't have anything to do with that, it's funny cause African-American football and basketball players get endorsement deals all the time so get the fuq out of here with your race card

[imperial1]

Floyd did t get endorsement deals because one he wasn't exciting enough two he wasn't humble 3 he acts like a clown and 4 his domestic charges also didn't help ..Lets not forget how Tyson was so beloved he had a Pepsi contract a video game Etc ..Skin color is just an excuse by millenals Floyd has no one to blame but himself ! If Wilder was knocking people out he would get huge endorsement deals ..The problem is there isn't a black fighter that's captivating like a Tyson..Floyd killed the sport by his antics and cherry picking who the hell
wants to endorse that !the only reason that watch company endorsed him is because they know he will also be a customer .l

I also in the same breathe don't see why GGG is getting endorsements he's knocking out bums but it could be because he's European ..But the minute he's exposed all that nonsense will stop.

Inorite

these ****ing whiners need to STFU.

Michael Jordan has had more endorsement deals than any other athlete in history and still makes tons of money out of them. I guess it's because he's a white snowflake

Not sure how relevant a Russians view of America is.

hope solo still got her endorsement deals and is still on the US soccer team(DV offender)......ronda "drowsy" with her self admitted DV history(and is currently dating a DV offender) is a media darling with endorsements. so miss me with that bull***** you c0cksucker. tim bradley and ward should've been had deals way before a foreigner like ggg who can't draw flies to ***** and has weaker resume than wet tissue.
