Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather: 'I Would Love To Sign Terence Crawford, I'm Going To Support Black American First'

1. Floyd is the one who said he is going to put one group first. That's discrimination isn't It?

2. I never said discrimination isn't an issue for black Americans or anyone else. I'm against the whole us vs them mentality unlike you apparently.

1. Floyd isn’t denying you or anyone any behind unless you think other groups are ENTITLED to what he has.

2. the us vs them is WHY Floyd is supporting his own first just like any other group on the planet

I don’t have to, you know full well this forum sees plenty of fans voicing support for their own nationalities and ethnic groups. You’re a damn lie and you know it. And the groups you mention are the ones doing it the most. Have whatever views you want but when you have to lie to push to it point you lost respect

I don't really have the energy to comment on what every fan has to say. I generally just comment on what boxers or former boxers have said. If a boxer or former boxer says something I will keep the same energy regardless of race, nationality, promoter. Can you say the same?

This is no different than Hispanics claiming they run the sport or that they are the reason for PPV success. No different than boxing executives saying “you don’t match your fighters with African Americans”.

Hispanics fans and boxers constantly talk about doing it strictly for “La Raza”. Floyd says he’s going to support African Americans without disrespecting any other race and all hell break loose. It all comes from a place of jealousy.

He should've granted black fighters the big paydays instead of cherry picking non black fighters.

Majority of his staff are black and rich. He’s made a lot of black millionaires. He granted black fighters big paydays by allowing them to fight on his undercard too. Paid for a few funerals, has an open gym for black youth and a skating rink. Now what have you done?????

1. I'm not sure if he is or not. I know he said he's going to put one group ahead of others which sounds discriminatory to me. Hopefully that's not the case.

2. All part of the same problem imo.

Apollo7 care to address this?

This, all day long this. And this is why I have been saying and finally someone gets it. Black Americans can support their own just like we in the U.K. do. Tell a traveller he can’t support his folk, or a Welshman, or a Scotsman, or an Irishman, or a gypsy, etc etc. this definitely isn’t rocket science
