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

[Eric_Teaman]

Did anybody like loud mouth that can't back it up?

[mathed]

Because he talks too much. Ali was allowed to but dont mean PBF can as well. PBF is a boxer, so should box, but doesnt. He thinks more than he should do for a boxer. Most boxers just need to thing about how they are going to beat their opponent. Its not brain science.
But PBF likes to kick up a fuss and make a scene too much.

Ali fought the best and never backed down or ducked, Floyd.....I don't know that he has backed up his talk with action like Ali did

Yeah I agree with that. I'm not saying that's the main reason why Floyd gets hate but I remember going to Mayweather's fight with Ricky Hatton. And most of the whites in the crowd were cheering for Hatton. That
seemed strange to me. Especially when a guy like Mayweather fought for this country in the olympics.

he gets hate because of his style IMO....american's expect to be fully entertained and unless you have a keen eye for floyd's particular style, its hard to admire

american's see floyd talk as if a 147 version of Mike Tyson is getting in there and then they see a safety-first fighter....with a $50 ppv tag, its enough to piss most americans off

I agree there, that is a good point. His fights are higher than other PPV events and the action is not always up to the hype. Although some Tyson PPV's only went a rd or 2, lol

tyson was different...even though you felt 'kinda' ripped off, you GOT WHAT YOU WANTED and that was Mike beating the **** out of someone...so there wasn't much bitterness...you ended up eagerly anticipating his next victim

same with Roy...even tho he had some mismatches, that mother****er's antics and pure athletic display entertained people

not many americans run on the thought of 'ooh, i can't wait to see Floyd pot-shot the piss out of this guy'


its not the mentality over here....even look at the NON american fighters that were embraced by the US...Duran, Chavez, Trinidad, PAC...they all have that same 'entertainment' factor

[paddymcphie]

even tho you shout about pbf not fighting in an all action style.. he'll still get more PPV numbers than any other american figher his next fight ??? why???

[billionaire]

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.....

because they pay to see him possibly lose....dude, your question was already answered...why are you now trying to talk about ppv numbers?

[pmkilla]

Simple and plain the reason they dont like him is RACE RELATED, the Mexicans that dont like him hate him for beating all of there guys, The Whites dont like him FOR BEATING THE HELL OUT OF ARTURO GATTI & RICKY HATTON

The RACSIT PINOYS ON THE BOARD DONT LIKE BLACK FOLKS.....Just look at the crap they talked about Cotto a Black Puerto Rican.

Sad to say at the end of the day White folks do not realy like BLACK Peopele from the ****** if he was from the BURBS say like, TIGER WOODS,KOBY BRYANT, SHAQ,

They just hate when a Black entertainer,celebrity,athlete does not do things the way that they want them to move. Its not keeping it real its keeping tru to yourselves and not bending and breaking

Look at How these White FOLKS treat ***** he aint did nothing but they tear him down in the media about any and everything even saying he aint BLACK ENOUGH?????

Ummm didn't they invent the 1 drop of BLACK BLOOD make you BLACK?

SO there you have it BOTTOM LINE ITS A RACIAL THING if you dont do what the WHITE MASTA SAY THEN THEY CRAP ON YOU IN THE MEDIA

BUT HEY SLAVERY HAS BEEN GONE ALONG TIME RIGHT,,,,,,BUT we as BLACK FOLKS STILL GET CRAPPED ON, EVEN THOUGH MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK......LOL

ALL my BlACK--Afro-American,Afro-Latino,Afro-Carribean gonna know exactly what im talking about because over here in AMERICA no MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A N@##$ TO THEM WHO NEEDS TO BE PUT IN YOUR PLACE

SO SAD BUT TRUE LOOK AT THE TV,NEWSPAPER,INTERNET what are they doing to BLACK PEOPLE NOW YOU GET IT

It does seem suspect that American tennis fans overwhelmingly support little white German girls instead of the Williams sisters.

I think race plays a large part, and also jealousy. The "money" persona really bothers people. No one ever really thought about how much money Sugar Ray Leonard had, because he didn't let you know it. Mayweather lets you know it. Young Black athletes today are mostly linked to a rich, thug persona.

Do you see how any basketball player that likes to wear ***elry, has cornrows, and tattoos is automatically labeled a thug. That's not fair, is it?

When football player Chris Henry died, you should have seen the ESPN boards being used as a forum to spout racist remarks. It's because these players are young, black, and flashy.
