Never seen a star athlete ASK for support due to Race or Nationality

I don't agree. Pacman support comes from Asians and Pinoy fans.
Yes,Pacman would have more fans since Asians have a whole population world wide
I know. After Pinoy's it would be Asians.Comment

This is not only ducking my entire point, but also not understanding the context of what im saying. pernell did that and still had little to no fanbase to speak of and rely on. he didint get that respect until really after he was past it and was on his way out. in his prime, people couldnt ****in stand him. people didint like his style in comparison to some of his common opponents and his taunting within the ring was not viewed as being playful, like in the instance of a Jorge Paez.the difference is pernell was the same height as pac yet took on a prime de la hoya & prime trinidad at welterweight.
Tell me something Fraud jr. did that is even close to that?
Fraud jr. could only wish he had the balls of pernell whitaker.
Boxing circles & fans respect;
Sweet Pea > Fraudulent Mayweather jr.
outside of the hardcore boxing enthusiests, you cant lie to me and tell me whitaker was loved by large crowds and greeted with ****in parades.Last edited by El Jesus; 12-09-2009, 03:25 AM.Comment

Here is the thing Mr riley, People dont like Flloyd because he is a BIG *******.
Imagine if Kobe started saying, "Im the best ever!", "Every time I play its like stealing money from people", "My ****s paid for, how bout yours?"
Kobe would lose 95% of his fans.
This is Mayweathers problem, its his attitude in general.
Mayweather shows bad qualities of a black person, while Manny, mostly, shows good qualities of filipinos(I said mostly because knowing some idiots, someone will mension that pac has been womanizing a little bit). Thats why they are proud of him.
Forget i said black or filipino. Just in general. Flloyd has bad attitude. Like it or not even if he is 200-0, with his attitude, he will have more haters than fans.Comment

Thats funny because I actually know very few Asians, yet 95% of the people I do know will root for Pac and pay to see him fight long before they would Floyd. Why is that? Because number 1, everybody wants to root for someone they can identify with whether they're from your country or not. And 2, Pac is the much more exciting fighter to watch.Comment

I know a lot of Asians. Many have claimed they are proud of Pacman, since he is best Asian boxer of all time. Like the same said about Yao Ming

Also it's like why Mexicans who don't support Jets yet still buy Mark Sanchez tops simply because he is the first decent Mexican NFL playerComment

It could never be because he carries himself with class and dignity, right?
By the way, have you ever heard of Anthony Munoz?Comment
