Mayweather's Race Baiting, Ignorance Comes Out Again

[Spacey1991]

I did cringe when I first read what he said though... it disappointed me, like Pullcounter said... he makes it harder for people to like him himself.

I think both sides got good points. He definitely should have worded it better, but he isn't that far off. There are some white boxers who are doing well and atop of their division. But none of them are really appealing as of the moment. Pavlik was close, Hatton was and calzaghe was....but he is not wrong in thinking there is a void waiting to be filled. It would be nice to have some appealing white fighters as some of the superstars in the sport. Just look at how much fun it has been arguing Pacman's success. It's been great and diversity is always cool and the styles and cultures coming together for events is cool. It's all good for the sport!!!


On the other hand MMA sucks and older white guys I know don't like it. I think it is more a generational thing than a race thing. As of the moment, IMO majority of young white guys like MMA, but it is starting to catch on with some of my younger cousins who are black. and the main reason is that it is comes on regular TV.

Boxing needs to come back to regular TV from a fan standpoint anyway!

Race in America...sadly, a wound that just will not heal. I've always thought that our sport was a good example of colorblind competition. Floyd is ruining the progress this nation has made with such comments. This is WWE type-sh#t.

He tries to be controversial & take up a race cause like ali....

He tries to be charming & corporate like ray leonard.....

He's not smart enough or witty enough to be a charming bad guy like ali & he's not good looking enough, exciting enough (inside or outside the ring) to be ray leonard.

he ends up looking like a ignorant douche bag everybody cant stand. U never said that about ali or a tyson, u might not like them but u were always entertained by them in the ring & out the ring.

not the case with the counterfeit cash jr.

This is just Floyd being Floyd.

yup.
an annoying bigot as always.

[Burner]

Don't you guys realize that Floyd wants YOU ALL to hate him...

The more you despise him.,...the more you cheer for him to lose....hes the ultimate bad guy.....

You people are so gullible.

Floyd is the smartest man in the sport..........You think HBO...and his bosses are going to punish him for what he said...NO...Because CONTROVERSY SELLS....

Every body wants this little man with the big mouth to get knocked the **** out....

You guys are falling right into the trap....the more you hate him the bigger he gets.

[DonTaseMeBrah]

nah, he's a wanna be ali/tyson/leonard rolled into one. the fake gangsta persona, race baiting, & the at& t commercial & dancing with the stars is evidence of that.


yet he still fails miserably to be good at trying to be any one of those guys.

Tomasz Adamek
Jurgen Brähmer
Mikkel Kessler
Carl Froch
Lucian Bute
Arthur Abraham

All these fighters are on top of they're game and guess what? They're all white. Boxing is'nt about race.

white in color, but not american white which was what floyd likely meant.

[Alex.Hdz]

As long as he's dissin MMA im happy. He should call the whole MMA ****sexuals on national T.V man I would be a #1 fan of his just for that.

Funny how Vic Darchinyan can say "I like the way Mexicans bounce off the floor" and ya'll don't call him racist.

This is about the 5th post of yours trying to get a reaction to draw attention from Floyds comments. First off, Darchynian isn't even relevant in comparison to Mayweather. Second, I highly doubt the racial tension between armenians and mexicans are anywhere near as tense as that of black and white americans.

And by the way.....I remember Oscar getting blasted by the media for his comments, and rightly so.
