Wright Sides With Mayweather Jr. Against "Racial" HBO

[Sin City]

No he didn't, I read what he said. He didn't even mention the word "Warrior", or define to you what exactly a warrior is. By your implication, you seem to have a definition that doesn't coincide with the standardized definition.

he pretty much said.. see Mayweather and I are boring and have boring styles but that's because we are black and don't have the same style as other ethnicities. (which is ******ed imo) That is why they hate on us because we are black and aren't crowd pleasing.

"slave wages" is just a figure of speech. all he meant was that he wasn't getting paid as much as other HBO fighters. he's not talking about every working man.

At that point in his career he wasn't the same caliber a star as most of HBO's house fighters. Even then he was acting like a spoiled brat.

he doesn't care why people dislike him and question him, what he can't understand is why people (including HBO and HBO announcers) gush over lesser fighters who's craft is not up to par with mayweather's.

Floyd is immature and most of the time not very exciting to watch. Some of these other guys are humble andv exciting. Me personaly, I relate to the latter much more than the former. HBO has always praised Floyds talent and skill, but I can understand why they would put more into a fighter that the majority can relate to. That doesn't make it racial though.

In almost every other sport and in real life situations the most skilled persons are paid the most money... only in boxing are the unskilled rewarded because they are "exciting" (ie. they are easy to hit or can't avoid getting hit).

I don't agree with this entirely. The people who are paid the most are the ones who bring in the most. Floyd hasn't shown he can carry a show without another bonafied attraction fighting him, and he still gets huge money. What is there to complain about?

This was years ago when Floyd made the statement, Floyd had already defended the title 9 or 10 times and trying to strap him down for 6 fights at 12 million, yeah I would have made the same comment. Not smart to commit yourself to such a deal, when after the first fight in the deal you could be worth a whole lot more and cant get out of it, its the same thing that many football players do when they have a good year and try and get their contract renegotiated, Floyd was smart and didnt fall into that trap.

Actually, that's what YOU said and you're projecting your own view of Black fighters, which actually supports their arguments against bias. Thanx.

Yes... that is why I have Kassim Ouma in my signature.


You fail.

This headbutt nonsense going around the forum to undermine Holt's recent victory over Torres only gives support to Floyd and Wright's argument.

.......cosign that

Obviously Floyd made the right choice, Im not knocking him for that. Its how he went about and how he's saying these things now. He has no proof and he's being hypocritical in my opinion. Now I don't think he is a racist, but what he said was far more insulting to the general public than HBO not kissing his ass the way he thinks it ought to be kissed.

I'll move the goal post to Black American fighters then, since it still holds that Winky didn't say any of that and you don't honestly believe that's what he meant to say [let aside the fact that he didn't say it] so it is apparent that these are your personal views.

You want to know what I think? I think Mayweather and Winky are bitter because they are boring fighters and the majority of boxing fans see them that way. What better cop out then "It's because I'm black" people seem to toss that around to try and justify the dumbest things but it seems to work because supremecist ****s like you try and find anything to make the world seem unjust against you.. Just like White Supremecists and their beef against ***s and Blacks. Just by saying that they rid themselves of all responsiblity of why it is they are not attractive to the fans and it makes them feel a little better about themselves thinking that way.. They may buy their own bull**** and idiots like you might... but they ain't fooling anyone else.

I like Winky but this **** he said right here was very ******.

But not the majority of Black boxing fans coz they aren't swayed by the politics, which is the point. That's why Winky and Floyd are sticking together on this one and rightfully so. I agree with them and have noticed it as well. It isn't all about styles either, it's political. Pavlik, Taylor was a perfect example for Floyd to give. After the first Taylor fight, Lampley sounded as if he was about to **** himself.
