Mayweather's Race Baiting, Ignorance Comes Out Again

[The Gambler1981]

I don't really care what Floyd says as he is normally an idiot, but I especially don't care when it comes to one of the many pissing contests Floyd is in and Dana White and Floyd have been in a huge pissing contests for years.

Floyd is not good enough with words to attack someone on an eloquent level.

Mayweather's "racial" comments stirring the pot
by SC on Jul 21, 2009 4:16 AM EDT

I was going to try and avoid talking about it at all if I could for several reasons, but the MMA community is in a bit of a tizzy regarding Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s recent comments about mixed martial arts and boxing.
The controversy stems from the fact that Mayweather is "race baiting," and it has brought up old comments from Muhammad Ali and history lessons about the roots of MMA. If you have any knowledge of the roots of MMA, you know that a lot of the sport started in Brazil and has spread across the world.

MMA, like boxing, is a very global sport. There are one of two possibilities here:

Mayweather doesn't know what he's talking about, which is quite likely.
Mayweather is just trying to stir the pot with controversial comments, which is also quite likely.
Do I like what he said? No, I absolutely don't. Nobody really does.

I almost want to lean toward Mayweather just not understanding what he's talking about instead of being purposely controversial, because there's so much he says that just doesn't really add up.

Does he think MMA fighters don't run? He talks about boxers running 8, 9 miles. If an MMA fighter runs 10, is he a better athlete or man or something?
He talks about rounds, specifically noting championship rounds in boxing (12) and MMA (5), as if there is a massive difference. In flat terms, yes. Boxing has 12, three-minute rounds, 36 minutes of action. MMA has five, five-minute rounds. 25 minutes of action. Not a huge difference. I'm not saying there's no difference, I'm saying that using that as a measuring stick is sort of dopey.
"MMA is for beer-drinkers. Boxing is for everybody." What the hell does that even mean? Is it a class of audience thing? Is he talking about the fighters themselves? As far as crowds go, boxing is also rarely for "everybody," considering most of us couldn't afford to go to Mayweather-Marquez on September 19 even if we wanted to, and all the tickets will be sold to your everyday men like Brad Pitt and Mark Wahlberg anyway. And if Floyd Mayweather is trying to paint himself as a man of the people, that's pretty funny.
The whole issue is messy and hard to address without potentially offending someone, but sound off on it if you want to. Keep it clean, though.

Yeah, PBF is suggesting that mma is pedestrian and boxing is sophisticated. I have commented before that mma looks like nothing more than a caged street fight. It's not entertaining. At its worst, boxing can look a little like mma, but at its best I can easily see the artistry, the tactics and feel the excitement. Mma seems to require more luck than boxing, imo. That's why I prefer boxing. The best usually rise high and often stay there. Mma is more of a crap shoot.

As far as training PBF is wrong. I think the training regiments are every bit as difficult in Mma as in boxing.

in the end: if a white dude from MMA talked **** about black folks in boxing. the whole black community would cry out to the world. but since floyd is talking **** about white people. then it's ok and no outcry is allowed.

+1 FOR BEING BLACK AND GETTING AWAY WITH WHATEVER THEY WANT. cry on black people! black = the new hypocrit

[BillyBoxing]

Amen.

Mofos around here are pitiful.

They can get mad at Floyd but not Vic and

OSCAR:

"I'll never lose to a Black fighter because they can't take my punches"

They pick and choose what they want to remember.

It's totally wrong since most of guys are sayin that Vic is a big mouthed tard out there and especially with comments like that.


But mayweather is goin too far.
He's lying,attackin openly another race,and that's racism.
Many white fighters dominate many divisions,5 lineal champs.

How many divisions are dominated by blacks?? 2,3??

Of course it's not a competition between "races"but, you "déjà vous" seems to have no problems with that wrong,denial,racist and biased statement.
So what about us??
We are haters??Or better yet pittyfull mofos HUH??
We should agree with him??
We should shut our white mouthes and applaud??

That comment was dog ****,and I have the right to expose it.

Because Tony was a WBO nobody fresh off a loss and was fighting BUMS.

Floyd didn't want a WBO **** strap.

He wanted ALL the belts and that's what Baldmomir had.

THAT is why Floyd didn't fight Tony.

so what? still doesnt change the fact that margarito called him out and floyd didnt fight him. also, shane has been calling out floyd, why didnt floyd fight shane? again, you give excuses not answers! back to the question!

why didnt floyd fight margarito when margarito was calling him out?

[VERDUGO]

Pac and Cotto are getting all the attention and nobody is giving a **** about his fight with Marquez...So he figured "Aaaha!Maybe if I say someting ****** and racist, I'll finally get some attention"..
Real smart, Floyd......****in prick.

Besides the fact that this post screams fail, you spelled hypocrite wrong.

[joseph5620]

Mayweather's an ignorant, uneducated, stereotypical fool.

Who gives a **** what he says?

Stop paying attention this mental defective.

Obviously you cared enough to read and post, ignoramus.

"In boxing, we know who's dominating. Black fighters and Hispanic fighers is dominating in this sport. And this is not a racial statement but there's no white fighters in boxing that's dominating, so they had to go to something else and start something new."
