Why is there so much hate for PBF in the states ?

LOL @ anyone who thinks race has anything to do with this guy being hated. You're an idiot if you think him being black is the reason why people can't stand him.


Its his whole persona. If he was white and acted the same way, he'd be hated just as much.

People adore Michael Jordan. Why? Because he is classy.


Floyd's detractors are a product of his fake ass bad boy persona. Its only natural for people to want to see the villains fail. People naturally like happy endings where the bad guy gets what he deserves.

Duke when Mike came out he was not liked for the same reasons oh but you dont remember the early 80s right?

Listen until you walk a mile in shoes or any other black person you do not know what you are speaking on.....Is your Momma, Father, Grandfather,Grandmother,Aunt,Uncle,Sister or brother Black?

I do not think so or yoou would have not said what you said I dont know how to be any other race but Black and I know how my folks have been treated since before I was born and still to this day

Remember when President Regan, who is supposed to support all Americans, had a phone linked up to Gerry Cooney's dressing room to congratulate him immediately if he defeated Larry Holmes?

You're pretty naive if you think race plays zero part in it. It's clearly not the only factor, but it does play a part.

Tough situation for GBP et. al what they did may have back fired?

[baracuda]

altho floyd's good ,he 's ****y and boring......these qualities dont mix well..

[Bad Boy Dazza]

A big mouth will get you disliked whatever your color. If Floyd was white as a white man I would call him a ****ing dip**** and dislike him.

because hes black and has a big mouth......so alot of people hate him but just the same some love him.......no ones in the middle tho.....

This ain't 1980, or even the early 80's for that matter.

Again, Michael Jordan is loved and adored, not just in America...but across the world. Why wasn't he hated?


I'm not saying that race has no part in the reason why he is hated, but the biggest reason why people hate him is because of his attitude, and the way he carries himself.

The guy is a ****ing loudmouthed prick. Go to Las Vegas and ask the locals who live among him, and they'll tell you.

He is an *******.


Americans love to support 'the good guy'.


Don't try to play the race card and think people don't like the guy just because he's black, because that's bull****.

There are plenty of black people who generally Americans admire.

There seems to be an overwhelming support for Pac in this whole fiasco.

Lets get it straight .. Im not a big PBF fan (im not from the US) i hate his ****yness and the way he cheated out fans by rejecting $8million dollars to fight the relentless margarito. The way he retired in late 2007 when unbeaten welterweights Miguel Cotto and Paul Williams were coming up.

But he is an american born and bred and yet he gets so much hate from all of use(american) ? Should use not be pro-mayweather in a sense that hes fighting and representing your country, instead of some filipino on the other side of the world?

how can you like someone who always say negative things about other people. I used to like him until he started talking **** about Shane Mosley ( my favorite boxer)

[ugly2000]

People dont like Mayweather because he's really been acting like a *****. Its that simple. The guy is incredibly talented but he is afraid to find out how great he is. Odds are that he would probably beat all these guys he's ducking hands down but the ***** in him doesnt want to find out. Its also not the arrogance, **** talking or the fact he is black. James Toney is all of the above and he is one of my all time favorites.

[Allucard]

There you go. That's the answer there. Also, America sees color more than it does nationality. More so than most countries.

Joe Louis was arguably the best person boxing has ever seen. He was arrested (for marrying some white chick), chased out of the country for that crime and they ended up putting him in jail and then a circus where he was a clown entertaining white people, but not before they threw him in the ring so he could lose to a white guy when he was no longer a fighter. Racism is a big part of America. Now it's both ways though and the people who used to give now have to take too and they better grow used.
