So then you should be able to easily explain why Shane Mosley was treated the same way floyd was when it came to endorsements? Shane was p4p number 1, Shane was once seen as nearly unbeatable. You wanna explain that?
Shane had the PERFECT additude and it didint matter. What kind of additude did Barry Bonds have? Before the steroids thing, he had all KINDS of endorsements from equipement with his name on it to shaving products. You are living in a fantasy world. lol @ you thinking companies look at additude when many pro players have a rap sheet much bigger than floyds non-convictions.
Blacks havent cared about boxing since the decline of Roy Jones jr and Tyson, its just a fact. They dont cover boxing like they used to, american fighters PERIOD do not have a huge following unless they start thowing another countries flag on their shorts.
Corperate america is about MONEY and nothing else, so long as it can be marketed, theyll do it.

Boxing isn't a large enough sport right now in the USA for ANY fighter to get a lot of endorsements here, regardless of race! If ANY boxer could make a company more money by endorsing them, they would be. There's no racial conspiracy...

Mexicans, Ricans, British and Europeans support their fighter under the name of their country. African Americans are not patriotic because how they were treated years ago. They don’t have a banner to come under and also being of low socio-economic status doesn’t help.

Cotto's clothing has Ford all over it.
Klitchkos have had a very good deal with Boss for a long time.
Khan has a good deal with Reebok.
