Would Boxing support an openly gay star?

Mayweather wasn't all that open, but everyone knows he's a pillow biter.

they pretty much did with sergio martinez. he's gayer than a mfer

Do your homework people. Emile Griffith liked men and made little compunction about it. He outboxed some absolute legends to boot.

a lot of people thought he put an extra whooping on benny peret because he called him a maricon and patted him on the butt. peret died from his injuries.

I don't see why not.

Hell no!!! If they were a flamer nobody would support them but other sexual deviants and Libtards. And a "normal" gay person would end up being supported by flamers. Flamers bring those disgusting sexual deviant "pride" flags, disgusting ******s and other gross degenerates. It would be a disgrace to this sport and I wouldn't watch anymore along with tons of others. Keep that sexual deviant, "woke," ***, etc... trash out of sports and especially boxing!!!

You got a bottomless well of vitriol in you, man. Ain't healthy. Is there anyone different from you who you don't hate?

Kell Brook defo bats for both sides.

I ain't generally one to jump to conclusions, but yeah I would be fairly confident of that...

The LGBT community would love it

i remember loads of bufties on social media getting behind Orlando Cruz when he fought Terry Flanagan, because he could’ve become a gay world champ. They weren’t even boxing fans.

Who really cares, it's 2021.

Pretty sure that's how he got stabbed in the leg,aggressively coming onto a guy

There's only two reasons a dude goes back to a strange dudes flat in the middle of the night. One of em's to do drugs and I guess that's possible in this case too, but my guess is reason number 2...

An NFL player just came out of as gay and the commissioner of the league released a glowing statement and twitter is abuzz at the joyous news. How would the boxing world react if a star came out as gay? Supportive or....

He could play the heal role. Fans might tune in to watch him get beat but corporate American would support him.
