Most of what gets called "racism" isn't racism at all. I don't consider a black person who likes all black fighters to be racist, necessarily. The same for a white person who likes all white fighters. It's not "racist" to prefer your own race to another race. Racism means advocating or promoting things like Jim Crow laws that actively discriminate against another race. If, for instance, someone said that black fighters should be paid less than white fighters, that would be a racist statement. I seldom see anyone promoting those kinds of views here. |

Yea right. I'm sick and tired of you ignorant people lying about Al Haymon. If you don't know anything about the man or his operation, don't create lies just to provide propaganda to the boxing world that could negatively affect this mans business. With that being said, Travis Kaufman, the WHITE AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT was managed by Haymon and was moved along professionally and would have probably been able to get the talented American a title shot had he not gotten knocked out by Tony Grano, another White American heavyweight. Nobody in their right minds can say Haymon led him to defeat. Grano pulled off the miracle and that was pretty much all she wrote for young Travis' chance at Vitali or Vladamir. Al Haymon didn't make the statements you've claimed.

by himself? i guess that's why dirk scored 21 points in game 6 with 9-27 shooting while jason terry (a black man) scored 27 points that game on 11-16 shooting dirk didnt do **** that game, he definitely didnt win the title on his own there's also the fact that the all black usa basketball team mops the floor with the rest of the world year after year |

wasn't andrew golota,joe mesi,tommy morrison all on HBO's payroll at one time? haymon & HBO are an AMERICAN NETWORK so they will mainly promote AMERICAN fighters no matter what race...i don't understand this propaganda...lol! you don't see saurland promoting american fighters unless they have been brought in as an opponent.cunningham is an exception but he is co-promoted by don king...you euro boxing fans need to wake up because it doesn't take a genius to figure this out.HBO is an american channel.there will be acception on certain fights but 90% of the time an american fighter will headline.ratings are also key & other then diehard boxing fans most americans have no idea who the klitschkos,pirog,& many other top euro fighters are.why is this hard for so many of you to understand.european fighters don't interest the casual american boxing fan.HBO dropped lucien bute because they were not the main network for his fights much like they dont promote klitschko fights anymore.they want to be the boss of the events they promote & there is nothing wrong with that if they are the ones spending the money...
