Mayweather Jr: "Emanuel Steward is an Uncle Tom"

[Spear]

Umm, you might want to pump your brakes just a bit on Pac's mega-superstardom.

Pac has had one great selling fight. Thank Ricky Hatton for that. His fights with the Mexican stars did well (350-400K) thanks to the Mexican audience.
When pac fights a pedestrian opponent, he sells nothing. At all. See the Solis and Diaz numbers.

The test for Pac's commercial appeal will be how he does in a tune-up or his next "off" fight.

Pac has not shown that he is Trinidad....yet.

no the test is pacquiao having manny pacquiao day with the san diego padres, san francisco giants, jay z dropping a pacquiao line in his song, bill clinton wanting to meet him, denzel washington wanting to meet him, boston celtics wanting to meet him, & the hatton plus cotto fight which will do more than 800k plus. floyd only did 100k more with common opponent yet he is american & hatton already has lost to him. he can only do 100k more vs a boxer who can barely speak english & does not have to talk crazy to higher his profile.

Pouahhahahahaha, Floyd is just plain pathetic. I knew he was gonna say that. Steward bashes him all the time during his fights. That's Floyd's way to take revenge.
Whatever it's plain ******. You don't have any racism in sports. Especially in boxing where a black fighter will be more respected than a white and even if it's unfair, the white will have to do more to get the respect.

Moreover, ost of boxing's most beloved fighters are black fighters: Mosley, Wright, Hopkins, Trinidad. All R black and everybody give them mad respect. They just didn"t duck like Floyd.

If they are not going to buy this ppv by now then they are not interested. Enuff with the diarrhea at the mouth. Shyt is getting old and embarrassing. I dnt need pbf to tell me clouds are white everyday of the damn week.

More of the black people I know are more Pac fans than Floyd fans. I am managing fighter who will make his pro debut next month his name he is also black and even he likes Pac more than Floyd. I am not saying across the nation if blacks like Pac more. But, the ones I do know they do.

How many do you know? Enough said.

Are you really this naive? Why was Tommy Morrison just as popular as Mike Tyson in his hey-day? Was it the color of his skin or his boxing ability?

[flyest1]

I'm a Floyd fan, but I just don't understand why he cares about what other people say about him. Be like Michael Jordan and use it as motivation.

Superstars are not made, they're born. Floyd is already a superstar. He should worry about what the critics say about him.

Correct. A superstar in the black community. He wasn't allowed to use the front door at most restaurants. Why not you ask? Because the color of his skin!!
