Comments Thread For: Paulie Malignaggi: 'Idiocracy' That Has Rewarded Ryan Garcia Will Be Revealed

[Oldskoolg]

You’ve been on quite the crusade this past week, against Pitbull Cruz and now Garcia.

It would be nice if the African American audience showed out for their fighters in the same way, but they don’t. If it makes you feel better to say they are not gullible and simple minded then do you I guess?

I think your post isn’t entirely accurate. I think they do, which is why pbc has taken to Juneteenth fight cards in cities with heavy FBA percentages such as Baltimore, Houston, Brooklyn, etc. I suspect you are talking about showing up in the arena only as well. It appears fights such as Crawford v Spence did very well on PPV. As have several of Spence’s and Davis’ fights as have their fights in their hometowns. So really not sure why you would say that. But let’s say for arguments sake we are living in a parallel universe where FBA people don’t watch boxing..FBA folks have stars in boxing, basketball, football, track and field, tennis, gymnastics, and feature heavily in the medal count for the USA. Other groups, especially other so called ethnic minority groups in the usa do not. Those groups that do not tend to support their one or two when they come around. FBA people have scores of not hundreds that look like them and or share the same ancestry. As with the old adage, “the less the have the more it’s worth….”

Dude…this isn’t a big fight lmao. The tank fight TANKED him as a draw no one gives af anymore. 1. He’s not very good 2. He’s a quitter no one wants to spend their hard earned money to see someone quit when the fight starts getting tough.
He’s gone on about how much money he makes all the time like he’s mayweather but he’s never even won a belt …people don’t like that. You think anyone wants to hear some kid tell them how much money they make off them then watch them quit and say afterwards they could’ve continued?

Bro, this what’s wrong with these times. Why tf do you care about what he says or does on his personal time? He’s a boxer and an entertainer. That’s all. Idc what he does or say, all I care about is him fighting. As far as fighting goes, everyone knows the tank fight was made because of him, no one else. Regardless of the outcome, he did what no other fighter was willing to do and that’s give in to all the demands to make the fight happen. How many fighters are doing that? Same with Haney. Again, regardless of the outcome, he’s willing to bet on himself and make these fights happen. No other fight is doing this.

Ryan Garcia = Victor Ortiz 2.0

Crusade? Exaggerate much? I’m only pointing out facts about Cruz who suddenly is some world beater because he beat one of the worst world champions in history? For Garcia, I’m not even talking about him. I’m referring to simple minded fans, clearly that struck a nerve with you and we both know why.

Garcia's fanbase is teen girls. I'm not sure he's even popular among Mexican Americans.

You can see some of the defenders of Garcia on this very site to know that it’s not linked to teenage girl, but also includes males who in many ways act like teenage girls.

FBA? What's that?

110% correct. This quote from the article really speaks volumes on that:
“He’s popular and generates money. The fact is, you don’t have to promote the fight that much because he’s got an idiot fan base that’ll probably not watch it anyway, because they’re not boxing fans. It shows you the generation he’s in and why the guy is so popular.”

Paulie has gotten in trouble for making less than politically correct statements in the past so I think he took it as far as he could without naming a certain group but that’s clearly what he meant. No one has ever accused the northeast working class Italian Americans of being the most PC people

How does Ryan generate PPV's if his fan base does not watch his fights? You paint with a big brush. Not all working class Italian Americans are semi-moronic knuckel draggers like Malnignaggi. The list of accomplished Italian Americans with working class roots is long and it includes supreme court justices, governors, scientists, nobel laureates, war heroes, and many others. As for Pauli, he is an over emotional buffoon and in no way representative of Italian Americans writ large.

Haney is 1/8 on to win which sounds about right , this is not in any way a equal contest and is only an attraction based on Garcia's social media following based on looks and not boxing . PPV !...... it's just a revved up social media type affair.

Paula F.aglinnaggi is one bitter little troll ain’t he. lol. Especially when it comes to Mexican or in the case a Mexican American fighter. There are worse fights than this being made, worse with black fighters, but you never see that wop complaining about those. I’m no Cryan fan, I don’t give a f.uck about him, but I’m not going to be crying about how he makes his money. It’s not like this fight is preventing anything from happening, everyone knows Stainey won’t be fighting Stank or Shakira anytime soon or the other black, Matais because those blacks don’t want to fight each other.

FBA? What's that?

Fat Black Assholes?
