Strange Behaviour of Mayweather Fans

YEAH... BECAUSE THERE'S NO RACISM IN BRITISH SPORTS. :ugh: The footballers of color have not complained repeatedly about the overt racism they have experienced in England and throughout Europe. Racism has not been an issue in British sport for decades. Some of the most popular players in the sport have been black, including Thierry Henry (who was widely admired despite also being French!), John Barnes, Ian Wright etc. The monkey chants, while an embarrassment when it lasted, are well out of date and went hand in hand with the rise of the National Front and the peak of football hooliganism. Nowadays there are frequent reports of black players being stunned when they play in Europe (particularly Italy, Spain and Eastern Europe) at the racist abuse they face, because it simply doesn't happen in England.

Its because the liberal social engineers love to celebrate diversity and therefore put race at the forefront of every issue, unlike the more conservative approach of being a colorblind society.

YEAH... BECAUSE THERE'S NO RACISM IN BRITISH SPORTS. :ugh: The footballers of color have not complained repeatedly about the overt racism they have experienced in England and throughout Europe. they might complain or generally show disapointment at hearing monkey chants because it's a mindless juvanile act. which doesnt ever happen in england i might add, it's in spain, italy and the baltics who never have black players in their national teams. but what that dont do is bring up race issues before anything has happened or play the race card to drum up support..... i.e donavan mcnabb Lennox Lewis and Nigel Benn were just as much loved as calzaghe or hatton because over here we see passed the color of a man's skin america has serious racial problems, it's always the first thing they comment on. like tiger woods for example, the most common question he got asked was is he half black half asian or half white. does it matter? lewis hamilton is a british black driver who can win the F1 title this weekend but without seeing a picture of him you wouldnt know he was black from reading the stories of his races in the papers. if you dont know anything about british sport and culture then dont bother making comments, people in britain couldnt care less about creed or color, to suggest they are as narrow minded as america shows you know very little and probably dont care. cos what goes on outside the states is not worth knowing

YEAH... BECAUSE THERE'S NO RACISM IN BRITISH SPORTS. :ugh: The footballers of color have not complained repeatedly about the overt racism they have experienced in England and throughout Europe. Yea I saw the documentary on Bryant Gumbel where they showed a soccer game in Britain and these fans threw a bunch of bananas at the black players yelling out a buncha Monkey sounds.

jesus h christ you americans are obsessed with race !! i post a thread about mayweather fans acting strange lately and it turns into a jerry springer special. i think it's time to draw a line under race issues now, it's 2007 and from what i can see everybody has equal rights i'm glad there are a few people who have moved on and no longer live in the past but im surprised how many hav'nt nothing wrong with being proud of your culture or nationality but behaving like it's still the 1930's isnt doing your race any favors !! that goes for everyone, honkys, jigs, negro's, rednecks, milky's, nig'z, paky's, spics, coon's, wops, limeys, gingers, jocks, taff's, paddy's, wogs, frogs and them slanty eyed goouk fuckers from the east !!!

are u really that bored?

To be honest mate there were as many British haters as lovers of Hamed. A LOT of people tuned in in the hope of seeing him get sparked. His attitude was proved to be as awful outside the ring as inside it as well. The first thing I thought about Naseem Hamed... that dude could not possibly be any uglier. His entrances were annoying as fuck. His fighting style was completely redundant... one-fucking-dimensional. I was not impressed by him... but I guess he was exciting in his fights, so that is why he might have more fans than Mayweather right now, because the "What have you done for me lately?" attitude has people thinking Mayweather is as boring as Cory Spinks.

Is it me or have lot of posters on boxingscene been acting strange since Hatton-Mayweather started their promo tour? Not all posters but mainly the Mayweather fans. Seems to me they must be worried !!! what could it be????? I will answer your question directly, brit. The problem is that there are many people that are justly skeptical of Floyd and his approach to boxing, both physically and on the business side. This leads to conflict between these people and his fans who believe the media hype that Floyd is indeed the greatest. Because Floyd is vulnerable to criticism it has lead to a fanatical attempt by some Mayweatherites to bolster up their boy. This fanaticism is proof in and of itself of Mayweather's vulnerability to the charges that have been asserted against him. Does this help?

...if mayweather was white he would be one of the most popular fighters of this generation easily. Bullshit !! If he was white only the white trash losers would like him. Floyd has a big mouth is disrespectful and has absolutely no class. Any fighter that acts like that regardless of their race is going to have a fanbase of losers who act the same way. And I think God that is only a small majority of human beings.

Well, I would honestly love to see Floyd lose, but I dont see how Hatton could ever beat him, he's such a easy target for Floyd....

I would also query the wisdom of Isis's assessment that white people have never had a major impact on the sport of boxing. The best in boxing have tended to be representative of the poorer and less influential strata of society. This explains why WASP types have not tended to be hugely successful since the First World War, and it also explains the rise of Irish descended fighters such as Jack Dempsey or Gene Tunney, Jewish fighters like Barney Ross or Benny Leaonard, Italian fighters such as Rocky Marciano and Carmen Basilio along with African American legends all the way from Tom Molineux to Floyd Mayweather Jr and the current crop of Latino fighters, particularly from Mexico and Peurto Rico descents. The ethinicities and cultures that have excelled in boxing in the United States have been the ones who have been given few opportunities to earn a living without getting their brains smashed out. As opportunities increase for those demographics involvement as professional fighters in the sport of boxing has waned, and there are signs that this is happening in the United States, particularly in the heavyweight division. No race is inherently superior at boxing than any other. White eastern Europeans aren't taking over the heavyweight divisions because black guys forgot how to fight. Most of the major difference between "races" are cultural and not physiological, and interest in and ability at the sport of boxing is one of those differences.

Have you seen what the Hattonettes post on the YouTube videos? Listen, I'm not a black American and I have ONE black American fighter in my top five. But I can tell you that the racism seems to be originating from Camp Hatton. On here I've not noticed in. On Youtube there's a good deal of racism, but comeing from the Hatton Camp or the Klan, I couldn't tell you.

That is not true you are going into some racial issues and going too far its not that deep with Floyd HE JUST DRAWS A LOT OF ATTENTION AND IS NOT THE CLASSIEST GUY IN THE WORLD BUT HIS BOXING SKILLS IS BAR NONE TOPS Mckay is a typical Nordic racialist; don't mind him.. :)

I think that floyd mayweather spoils himself by all the trash talking and the way he acts. Is this the behavior of a role model? Their is no doubt he is the best fighter in the world and he always backs his trash talk up. Just imagine if he showed repsect and acted the way a professional boxer should act outside the ring the amount of fans he would have GOD IT WOULD BE SCARY FIGURES.

What I always found interesting is white suburbia saying Floyd act's ghetto(?). The peopele that say this are ignorant and have no idea what the phrase ghetto means. I just don't understand how people can comment on something they know nothing about, such as the white or black community. Don't say he acts like a thug because you know nothing of what a thug does in his regular life onoly what you see on BET. You don't like him fine with me but just because people are his fans don't mean they are nuthuggers, fools, ignorant or idiots (the majority ever fighter has a few foolish fans).

Something about Floyd Mayweather is linked to the hearts of some black people I'm sorry to say. He's supposed to be the great 'black' man, the 'real' black man or something. He inspires such black nationalist sentiment it seems like, your just reeding a thread and all of sudden somebody mentions mayweather it goes black nationalist on you seemingly out of nowhere.[/QUOTEThat is not true you are going into some racial issues and going too far its not that deep with Floyd HE JUST DRAWS A LOT OF ATTENTION AND IS NOT THE CLASSIEST GUY IN THE WORLD BUT HIS BOXING SKILLS IS BAR NONE TOPS

Dios, On the war thing. That aint real money being spent freind. The fed hasn't made real money in a decade. They basically just create the money. It's called hyper inflation, and at some point it will come back to bite us in the ass. Besides, we are in hock so bad as a nation we will never recover from it. Luckily, we are the cog in the world economy atm, but the minute china surpasses us through industrialization the shit is gonna hit the fan for all us fat assed SUV driven pigs! Bet on that! You sound like a ron paulite my friend

I just tease you , man.. calm down. I went to SUNY undergrad... Stony Brook. BS Engineering. worked for a couple of years, went to NYU for my MBA and spent a couple years with McKinsey. There's nothing wrong with a state school. But I had to give you shit because you took a very haughty stance about your education. Like you were teh first human to go to school. I don't wear my pedigree on my sleeve 9or try not to). But I had to call you on it when you start calling people "stupid". so the truth finally comes out.... anyhoo, I dont remember ever being haughty about education.

Just an FYI, You have beat your chest about the AA issue on a coupke of occasions. You may wantto check the entrance criteria. The lowest person at harvard/ duke/ NYU would get into Maryland. So, slow your roll. Dios, On the war thing. That aint real money being spent freind. The fed hasn't made real money in a decade. They basically just create the money. It's called hyper inflation, and at some point it will come back to bite us in the ass. Besides, we are in hock so bad as a nation we will never recover from it. Luckily, we are the cog in the world economy atm, but the minute china surpasses us through industrialization the shit is gonna hit the fan for all us fat assed SUV driven pigs! Bet on that!

I'm fortunate to have a good pedigree and a very good income. My gf makes less, but she also has a good income. We have no kids and pay roughly 40% on taxes. My kids don't use schools, I get NOTHING free from the government and I'm still gouged on my property taxes. It's the nature of the beast. We are spending billions each day/week in Iraq on a senseless war. The US has now been in Iraq for longer than WWII lasted. Think about that. And to make matters worse for me, I don't even plan to stay in this country. As soon as my nest egg hits $XXXXXX, I'm outta here. Back home. So, what exactly did I give up 40% of my income for? You gave it up for the lazy bastards that won't work or better themselves, same as me. So you see Dios, we are not that different in that respect. Out of curiosity where is Home?
