David Haye has a large following unless your just talking about Black Americans.

Cory Spinks could sell a lot tickets for his fights. The Judah rematch had over 22,000 in attendance. The Spinks-Karmazin fight had 10,000 plus.

Somebody made a similar thread to this a lil while back. Fighters don't come off as reppin their people unless they're fightin in a foreign country. At home it's largely just moderate applause.

Sugar Ray Leonard & Roy Jones Jnr.

Floyd Mayweather couldn't fill a venue without a name opposite him.

Out of interest does any black fighter have endorsements.You look at Cotto he has Ford on the gown he wears to the ring.I know Holyfield used to have endorsements but does the current crop of black boxers have any.

Floyd has always been mad about not having endorsements and he says he is a self made millionaire.Amir Khan has a contract with Reebok.Pacman should be involved with Nike.Spinks might be but would love to hear if any black boxers have endorsements.

most black fighters fight to defensivly and aren't exciting to casual fans which is why they don't get any aendorsements.

Berto seems to be sponsored by Champs Sports. I"ve seen him postered up on the wall at one of their stores and here's a couple shots of him sporting the logo.




Andre Ward is with Jordan Brand. He was featured briefly in a JB commercial as well.


These aren't exactly big dollar endorsements, though.

Boxing just isn't that big in the US to be honest and companies aren't shelling out money to sponsor boxers. Racism is still of course alive and well here so it could certainly play of factor with who companies choose if that's what your getting at. There just isn't enough US boxers that are being endorsed period to even evaluate what type of inequality may exist.
