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

[JAB5239]

Ali asked for Black support
Jim Jefferies asked for White support
Cooney asked for white support
Oscar asked for Mexican support against Pacman

Not you're just flat out lying. Jeffries was forced from retirement because of white pressure. Cooney said many, many times that race had nothing to do with his fight with Holmes and detested the "white hope" moniker.

i think cooney found it very embarrassing for him. to think, it was a black man who pushed for that bull.

Please, very non-few Pinoys are actually fans of Pacman. They like the guy and support him. But for Pinoy boxing fans Pacman is all they got

haha, Floyd cant even get support from his own country. Its sad he has to beg for it. I know plenty of africans-AMERICANS who love bhop and Manny but **** on floyd.

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.

yes i agree. his style & whitaker's have a lot to do with. Americans LOVE TO BE ENTERTAINED. Which means exciting fights with knockouts. Something that is not in fraud or whitaker's style.

Ray leonard was a mainstream star because he took on great challenges & he knocks people out. Mike tyson because of his craziness & power.

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.

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.

itrs really not that hard to figure out. Pac fights are televised in japan, thailand, indonesia, france, russia, england, dubai, all over the world. to say that pac fans are nothing but pinoys is highly ignorant.

how many phlippinos in the U.S.? 4 or 5 million? divide that by what 20 people (ppv parties, this is what pinoys do, conservative number) that's what 250k ppv buys?

who do you explain the 400k,950k, & two 1 mil plus ppv buys?

Floyd doesn't get support simply because of the wide range of sporting talent in America

Who does the Philippines have really?? Pacman and a pool player

[Ekscape]

What and the... There's a large history of pro athletes calling upon their countries and nationalities for support... Just another "Floyd bashing thread"...

Or maybe because he is Mexican

Tony Ayala was of Mexican heritage, I don't hear to many Mexicans screaming for him. Do you know why? Because they can't relate to him.

Look at the sport history you twat. Jim Jefferies said flat out ' I would never lose to a Nword" and called upon white people to back him

Ali said Frazier was a uncle tom and the AA community should support him instead.

Cooney called upon white americans against Larry Holmes

Oscar said he would avenge Mexico for what Pacman did to the legend


I think someone said JJC fights bums and no one wants to watch him. JCC called upon Mexicans and 100 000 rocked up for a fight(Can't really remember)


If you knew anything about the sport history you would realize many fighters have called upon their people
