White America needs to produce good boxers

[paulf]

I'm Ukrainian.

Cool. Some of my best friends are from Kiev (I think thats it).

[SugarRayCurtain]

this isnt about black vs white

This is about getting boxing back into the American market.
Having good american white boxers would help dramatically, its just a shame that there are none.

Why does the usa love ufc? its because white fighters practically dominate the sport and white america loves it.
Face it, the only good american boxers are black and quite frankly mainstream white america dont care about them.

Just look at chad dawson and andre berto but yet when kelly pavlik comes on the scene hes huge.
White/black/hispanic people will support their own kind, just looking at the Ufc crowd tonight reminded me a of a wrestling match. All white drunks.

This isnt a racist post but all the white fighters are coming from europe, white fighters attract fans. Especially american whites and thats where the money is at.

I was around when Tyson first came out and he was ten times more known and popular than Kelly Pavlik. It just takes an exciting KO fighter to get peoples attention.

The top people of the boxing media don't want white boxers.

For example, Ross Greenburg won't show Bute-Brinkly. But he had no problem showing Bute-Miranda, and he would have had no problem showing Bute-Stevens, if Stevens had won the eliminator.

He wouldn't show Adamek-Johnson, but had no problem showing Cloud-Johnson. He refused to have Adamek-Cunningham II on, even though the first fight was a very good one. He permitted Adamek-Arreola because he thought Arreola would be too big and too strong for Adamek.

Even Bob Arum said in early 2007 that Greenburg was very reluctant to have Kelly Pavlik on. Of course, after Kelly stopped Miranda and became the mandatory for the HBO boxer Taylor, he didn't have much choice.

Many Whites prefer street fighting.

As opposed to athletic sports that require gifted athleticism.

Sorry, it's just a fact.

lololololol

[168SMW]

Nope, just letting you know...no notable Eastern Europeans in the lower weights...and 168 is Ward/Dirrell's division...and 175 will be Bad Chad's...

168 is Lucian Bute... He is way more talented, fast and hard puncher than both Dirrell's and Ward.

BTW, Pascal own 175lbs, not Dawson. Thats why he lose and isnt the Ring magazine champ.

No, it just takes THE MEDIA hyping a boxer who scores a few KOs.

Tyson's KOs were shown a lot when the sports media talked about his upcoming fights. He was raved about by a lot of people in the media - but they seemed to ignore the fact that when he faced a decent heavyweight opponent, his fights went the distance.

Ive explained it a thousand time, tomasz adamek is to ****ing ugly to be a superstar, thats why no one wants to invest in him

[clubpunch]

I dont think its so much as a white or black thing, as it is we as americans watch lame a$$ sports Golf, tennis, nascar! I had boxing on the tv at the bar I worked at in the past and some guy asked for the World series of poker to be put on. I wanted to beer bottle his face!!! and kelly pavliks sucks balls
