Name one black fighter who has a following

Danny Willliams.

This makes no sense to me. Floyd was the creme de la creme of boxing, p4p best and one of its most visable people. Why are lesser known athletes, black or not, getting endorsements ahead of him? Its all about appearence and attitude. Floyds is all wrong for corporate America.

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...

They don't really. Since boxing is no longer popular in African American community as it used to be. The black boxer always has to play the villains. 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.

On spot. No point in further debate. Further debate will be only hating on the blacks. What also doesn't help but it's good, it's black statistical superiority in this sport. I don't think white people ever forgave Joe Louis.

Roy Jones Jr...

I thought Pacman had something going with Nike.
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.

You're right, it's not a conspiracy. Because it's so in your face and visible to all. Maybe even Tunney would agree, it's so flagrant. The fact the sport is losing dimension doesn't help to. All i care is boxing keeping at least some quality fights black or not and have some governing rules added. We need an UFC for boxing where only the best will have room and where they have to fight each other all the time and even if in repeated match ups. Fighters who lose more than 3 would leave this org and have to join lesser ones. This would make for a clear distinction between the good and not so good fighters. No one will have to pay to see more Jennings or Rubios fight fights they already lost before the get go.
