Obviously we're not all like that, and obviously not all black people are money obssessed ignoramuses, but people do generalise, so yes he does make black people look bad.
Its funny how a race or nation will happily accept a positive role model as a representation of them (MLK was the voice of black america etc etc), and happy for a different nation or race to generalise based on the positive stuff, yet when its a negative role model like floyd the discrimination, 'you cant generalise like that' card is played immediately
p.s. at one point not all black people thought that MLK was the voice ok black america. A lot of black people thought Malcom X and the Nation was the voice of black people.

You could also argue that Floyd made black people look good with his determination, hard work and how he overcome poverty to become one of the best boxers of his era and giving back to the community.
IMO what Floyd does concerns Floyd and only Floyd, i don't care if he's a jerk, a **** or if he's a gorilladog, as long as he gets in the ring and fight the best and do, honestly, what he's paid to do.

if people look at floyd and say he makes black people look bad then obviously barack makes us look 1 billion times better.
Mayweather Jr would be a better president!

When I watch Mayorga and his actions I don't think of how it reflects on people from Nicaragua. It would be small minded of me. The idea that once person makes a race "look" bad is embarrassing and offensive.
