Ali, Jack Johson, Tyson, Roy, Bernard, Floyd, etc. Is this by default of being black or just a role in order to sell because the media doesn't accept their talent?
No, i didn't. Most boxers have messed up past, but it never it get broadcast as much.
Most fighters don't reach the popularity these ones do.
And the fighters above is like a role-call of ATG ****-talkers which doesn't help. Joe Louis and Joe Frazier are regarded with almost universal respect, but they both had drug and domestic violence issues.
On the other hand you have fighters like Margarito who was very much the villain in his recent fight.
I wouldn't say Jack Johnson loved his role, who the hell would love having an entire nation hate you because of what you look like. Johnson is a representation of how messed up this country once was.
He realised America wasn't going to love him no matter what he did, so he took it as far in the opposite direction as he could.
"I'm black, they won't let me forget it. I'm black, I won't let them forget it"
Laughing and clapping and taunting his white opponents, I really think he loved getting under their skin.

Jack Johnson loved his role of the criminal and did everything he could to further it.
Ali was a member of a racist cult and dodged the draft.
Tyson was a rapist and thug.
Bernard is an ex-con who fights dirty and makes a lot of edgy comments (still my man).
Floyd beat his lady and will soon be going to prison for it, he also makes a lot of edgy comments.
You've chosen some **** examples.

cause they put themselves into that role
Thank you. Some ppl are quick with the education insult and not even realize they can't answer a basic question themselves.
Dude, i am drinking and decided to post the question after listening to Broner, so as to get a broader perspective. Are u the grammar master? People like you have low self-esteem, so it makes you feel better correcting people's mistakes doesn't it?
What, did broner complain about him being the villain?
If he did, then he stupid for asking
