  • Boxing lost its mainstream appeal when non-blacks became the biggest stars

    Any sport that isn’t dominated by black men just doesn’t have the same commercial appeal. Even with golf, it hasn’t been the same since Tiger Woods lost his hunger.

    The last great black boxer was Mayweather & since he retired, the sport has lost its mainstream appeal. They tried all the great white hopes but they just don’t have the same appeal.

    Time to look for the next great black superstar to put the sport back where it belongs. White men just lack charisma, athleticism & the unique attributes of a black athlete.

    There is more to it than that. Boxing has been on the decline since it was no longer broadcast on free TV. The free TV built an audience. That audience paid for the PPV events once their favourite boxer got enough fans and cred to make a PPV lucrative.

        You can’t say that when Mayweather had the highest selling PPVs in his last 2 fights.

        They have tried pushing all these great white hopes from the Klitschkos, to GGG, to Canelo, to Lomachenko & now Fury. And none is even close.

          His dad was black. Every time he gets arrested, they put black for his race. He’s a black man.

            He's mixed. Black ancestry but mixed. Just like Canelo.

                Yeah I can say that and I did. Other than Mayweather and a couple of other fighters who does the general public know??
