It’s interesting isn’t it. Even during the 1930s when America was under a similar Apartheid system as South Africa and Germany were at the same time, Americans cheered for Joe Louis against Max Schmeleng in a series of fights that were more politically charged than anything we can fathom today. And yet, Louis was looked at as an American hero. It makes you wonder and ponder what exactly has changed in which in 2024, a segment of Americans want to see other Americans fail due to race….

I can answer that Oldskool. Even back then with all the problems we had in this country there was somehow an enormous sense of pride in each group of people that helped shape America into what it had become. re were white people that even though they controlled everything and could do what they want it was enough of them that as time went on a lot of them tried to be better than their parents and guide the country into what it was created to be. There were blacks that went through hell but through perseverance and pure will and determination they climbed themselves out of that hole and made the heaviest contribution into turning this country into a powerhouse. There were Chinese that built a significant portion of the western section of the Transcontinental railroads. There were Mexican migrants that started immigrating in the early 1900s to states like Kansas and Missouri and have always been an important part of American agriculture. Native Americans were sadly largely forgotten about was this has always been THEIR LAND. There were ***ish people that came here in the 1700s and back then had a very deep connection with black Americans. Amish people played an integral role in helping enslaved people move from the south up to the north. We all had a deep love for this country no matter the hardship we went through. Americans cheered for Joe Lewis and cried when President Kennedy and Martin Luther King was assassinated. The problem has been over the last several decades of all these immigrants from around the world were allowed to come to America and brought all their problems with them. People from Africa, Asia, Arabs, Hindus, Carribean, South and Central America etc. All these people brought more hate with them because they thought in order to be a good American means you have to be ray-sis white people and help hate the blacks. These are the people that I hope T R U M P is about to deport the fuqk up otta here PRONTO TONTO!

No matter how long this guy wonders and ponders about what he wrote there, it will never occur to him that maybe the Americans he is talking about don't care about race in the same way he does.

At some point everyone cares about race be cause it is a natural part of human life. But I am with you 100% thay people like myself should stop looking out for race especially for everyone else. We should all just look out for our own and our TRUE allies. Come Jan 20th I don't want to hear a yone whining about race once 'certain people' start to get removed from America. I'm just going to suggest that you pull yourselves up from your bootstrap! Lol

How do you figure?
If it wasn't for Saudi boxing, most of the best fights that happend in 2024 wouldn't have happened at all.
Usyk vs Fury, Beterviev vs Bivol, Bakole vs Anderson are just a few examples.
The Saudi Feb 22 card is better than both of the announced PBC PPV's combined and it will only cost $25!

No big fights are happening in the US because they can’t compete with Saudi financially.

I've never seen Americans so eager for one of their premier sports to be commandeered by a company from the Middle East. Begs me to question if they're American at all??? Commie bastards!!

That probably says something about those fans, but I do think it says more about American corporate greed and the total disregard of the American consumer.

Again I don't know it's willful ignorance, cognitive dissonance, blind loyalty or just plain ******ity how people haven't been able to figure out what is clearly easy to see. PBC has most of the AMERICAN fighters and all the AMERICAN stars on their side. They are the only company that can put on successful PPVs in America. Would it benefit them to work with the other companies? Sure. But believe me that Al Haymon does not need anyone to be able to survive in this country. In contrast, Bob Arum, ODLH, Eddie and Turki-boy NEEDs Al Haymon. That's why this Boots vs Virgil failure is causing such a huge dust up. Turki wanted this fight in Saudi to stop his King from pulling the plug and Eddie / ODLH (real promoters) didn't want this fight over there because they know this will do real good PPV #s in America. Eddie Hearn knows his time is running out in Riyadh and he's not trying to 'burn bridges' in America. Three probabilities in 2025 that will kill the whole Saudi thing:
1)Boots is going to PBC because he now knows that not only is Hearn a failure but he's also a clown
2) the Shakur signing will not produce any significant or profitable events
3) when Ryan gets out of that GBP contract he's going str8t to Al Haymon

Stop drinking the coo-laid, the PBC isn't selling shyt unless it's Canelo or a real fight like David vs David. Tanks numbers aren't even close to the BS they claim and certainly not without a name in the other corner. Unfortunately most PBC cards are just marginally interesting, noncompetitive in house fights for $80.00.

Facts are facts.

Too many ppv cards. Top rank & espn do many more non-ppv cards (though it seems top rank will leave espn).

ABSO- FU<KING- LUTLY! In America the corporate greedy protect their cash cow while letting real talent die on the vine and the American fans are shocked when foreigners fu<k up their favorite prima donna with a padded record. Unfortunately none of it maters because as a fight condition the foreign fighters are often forced to sign with the same douche bags .

It's a cycle that gets repeated at just about every level of America, in every corporation, and every political party.

Oddly, the same guys that use the term commie hate Crawford even though he's one of the few Americans still putting a beating on all that are willing....you can't make this up.

Canelo. ???

Yeah it's befuddling but Canelo sells PPV's no mater who is promoting him.
