On Friday, Floyd Mayweather Jr. spoke out for the first time since announcing his retirement from the sport a few weeks ago. He sure had a lot to say, but most of the comments about HBO and their announce team made a lot of noise in the industry. He told David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press that HBO plays the race card against black fighters. He claims the announcers do the same and worse. [details]

now watch all the floyd fans say how right Winky is and how wise and intellegent he is. but if he were to side against floyd, he would be an "old washed up fighter who is jealous of floyd's success and the fact that he cant get as much money as floyd for fights". -
I guess his comeback will be on Showtime.
HBO wants exciting fighters that make money, guys like Winky just doesn't bring in the big bucks, it's a shame but it's not racist.Comment

Winky is smarter than that.
They hyped up Taylor like nobodies business. Mayweather was a big fighter that they spent millions on. Jones was their biggest TV fighter at one point, and di well for them with PPVs.
****** ****.Comment

Too Add to That Point:
When Manny Pacquaio Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Manny Pacquaio LOSE...
When Oscar De La Hoya Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Oscar De La Hoya LOSE...
When Kelly Pavlik Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Kelly Pavlik LOSE...
and more recently When Miguel Cotto Fights, YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Miguel Cotto LOSE...
and the most obvious in the Mayweather-Hatton Fight,
YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Hatton LOSE...
But you did get the Feeking that they wanted Mayweather to LOSE...
another example:
In the Jermaine Taylor fight against Kelly Pavlik
all you heard throughout the Fight was, What Jermaine Taylor was going to do wrong, and what he is doing wrong, and vice vesa What Kelly Pavlik was going to do right and what he was doing right....
and Once Again YOU do not GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE Kelly Pavlik LOSE...
Why Does The Perception exist with these fighters..??
Thats the Problem Mayweather Has with them...
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT TO SEE HIM and certain fighters LOSE...
AND IF YOU ARE A FAIR MINDED COMMENTATOR THAT PERCEPTION SHOULD NOT EXIST...
BUT WITH THE HBO CREW IT DOES...
YOU GET THE FEELING THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MAYWEATHERand certain fighters LOSE...
They are Paid to be FAIR COMMENTATOR'S, not AVID FANS.... SO any bias they have against certain fighters should be set aside as soon as they start calling the fightComment

You're an idiot. Seriously, if Floyd said that 'Horus was a peice of ****,' you'd find a way to prove him right. I would too, though.Originally posted by Horus View PostComment

As a Commentator you can call Mayweather on his bull****...But you also have a responsibility to provide context...
As a Commentator you can voice the concerns of the fans, but to be fair you must provide both sides of the argument From and for Both SET OF FANS...NOT JUST ONE...
and more importantly if you go an 5 minute rant of how
"Mayweather is Ducking Cotto"
Equally You give a 5 minute explaining Mayweather's Point of View of not fighting Cotto.
As a commentator you have to wear a Hat that fits on both Sides, not just one. Because like it our not... All Fans Dont agree that
"Mayweather is a *****" or "Mayweather is Scared of Cotto"
Fans of Both Sides, Pay to see Mayweather Fight, Not Just Floyd Haters...
So it would be inappropriate for a commentator to say inflammatory things about Floyd, for one set of Fans, and not give equal representation of an argument for the other set of Fans.
Like I said before:
Would you go to Fox News TO GET a fair assesment of Barack *****..?
And it is starting to get to the point where the HBO CREW are starting to become Floyd Mayweather's FOX NEWS
To drive Home this POINT:
Like I said Before From a Fan Point of View, You are entitled to this opinion about a Floyd...
Because you pay to see him fight
You can be subjective..and bias in your opinion because you paid your hard working money.
But The HBO crew does not pay to see him fight....
They get paid to see him fight...
Therefore they have a responsibility to not call the fight as Fan, but as a Paid and Fair Commentator....
and the problem is, that they dont...
Like I said before They are Paid and have a responsibility to the sport to be FAIR COMMENTATOR'S, not AVID FANS.... SO any bias they have against certain fighters should be set aside as soon as they start calling the fight
The Point Floyd is Trying to Make is that, The HBO crew Calls His fights recently as if they want him to Lose..Comment
