    I mean, seriously. If you don't dislike him, then you atleast think he's dumb if you believe that.
    Well, I didn't want to watch a fight based on race, that just lowers the tone beyond what is reasonable in my opinion. Mayweather isn't like that and I respect him more for it.

        True. it's a bit of a low blow. Nonetheless, you think you're still watching the fight? I'd bet you are.

        However, for A LOT of people, black and white, it gets them to want to watch this, EVEN MORE.

        However, he'll use a lot of tricks that he picked up from fighters past, black and white.

          Good business move because he's just increased the fight's potential fractionally, perhaps significantly.

          Even if I disagree with his statement, this is one white boy that can say "ima tax dat ass" and back it up.
          Good call.

          You must be proud of Zag. He is an all-timer in my opinion.

            Perhaps. Let's see in 2008.

              Most people from the UK were going to watch it anyway. Maybe the race thing generates ticket sales in the US.

                I'm not the nationalistic kind of person, but I can speak for the Welsh population when I say we're more than proud of him.

                He's like a God over here.

                  That's awesome

                  I still cant believe how he's so good. His dad taught him how to box using a damn book.

                  What...the ****?

                      I think people in the U.S. would have watched either way. I just don't see this HURTING the sales, ya'know?
