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

[Check]

It's the biggest fight in like 30 years and for the first time it's a two guys squaring off in a gigantic fight from different countries. We haven't seen a bout like this since Louis V Schmeling. Floyd probably sees that everyone in the the Phill. is behind Manny and wants the same for himself. Nothing wrong with that imo. He should realize that the was he went about his career attitude wise is why it will never happen though. Also in America we have so many fighters that we can't just get behind one guy. The Phill has one big guy so they have to get full force behind him.

Everyone missing the point I believe. (I haven't read every single post)

If someone told you to like a (race/nationality) band because they have all (race/nationality) members, you will tell them to &*%^ off. But if you listened to there music and you liked it you would like the band. No matter what the creed.

It works in 100000 other scenarios, my point is no one can/should force you to like something/someone just because you have something in common. And if you do like them just for that reason you might need to look in a mirror.

If Mayweather was a little known up and coming boxer and needed support fine. But this guy is fighting in a multi-million dollar event to secure the p4p title. If you havent liked him his whole career your not gonna like him now,

You know what? You're right. I don't like the way he conducts business nor his personality. But disgrace is probably not the right word. For all his short comings he does seem to always be there for his kids. For that I can respect him as a man, no matter how else I may feel about other parts of his life. Disgrace was the wrong word on my part.

bernard hopkins: floyd's a disgrace to the black race, when they get gloves and lace, he wil taste a right straight to the face, pacquiao will make a case, that hes the number 1 ace. ill never lose to a white man, or be a floyd fan

Out of all the years watching all sports from basketball, football, boxing, tennis, baseball, etc. i have never heard or seen a star of a sport asking for support because of their race or nationality.


Just saw joe buck live with the fraudulent one in it, he tried to play the im a american citizen you should support me card & even had the nerve to involve the american troops in it. "support me, support the troops" like a shameless politician pandering for votes.

Ive seen international stars THANKING THEIR respective countries for all their support, BUT NEVER ASKING FOR SUPPORT.

NEVER.

The fraudulent one even did this during the marquez fight. He did a interview with a hip hop station i think & started complaining about his lack of support & that ALL BLACKS should support him.

Its like he consciously knows that a lot of people hate him yet a lot of people like Pacquiao so he goes the nationalism & race way of trying to get support. Is this the olympics?

Did ray leonard ask the americans to support him because he's american when he fought roberto duran?

Did mike tyson say "all americans should support me because im a american citizen, look we have troops here so support me" when he fought lennox lewis?

Its a cheap & shameless ploy to try get people to love you.

how long have you watched sports? Athletes have been doing this forever, man.

LOL

The vast majority of Manny's fans are Filipinos who only like him because he's all their country has.

i think you need to enlighten yourself before you make ****** comments. first philippines have a proud boxing tradition which includes atg like pancho villa and flash elorde. we have always had great boxers in the past luike luisito espinosa, navarette. currently we have 5 world champs, donaire,mayol, penaloza,viloria,sonsona. so you need to s.t.f.u philippines is a boxing nation, who will support a fighter of the calibre of pac regardless.
