I was there in 1986, I seen Tyson before he was champion and he became popular way before he started acting like a crazy man. Why do you think people still cheer for him when he makes special appearances at fights? Not because of the crap he did, but because of what he was back in the beginning. Other people hate him now for the crap he pulled but no one loves him for that. A lot of you black guys that have put up with racism in your lives tend to see everything as racism after a while. Its not as deep as you think but you will never know because the eyes you look at the world in were corrupted a long time ago because of what you had to put up with. Its rediculous to say because Tyson was black he had to act the fool to sell tickets. If anything, people hate him for that. It might have drawn more attention to him in the 90's, but he was huge and on top of the world in the 80's before he ever acted like that and it had all to do with how exciting he was. You don't have to be black to understand that, just old enough.
HBO commentators, boxing fans, & the media are all RACIST towards BLACK FIGHTERS!

You can say i'm complaining or even pulling the race card, but lets face it they are RACIST! Its not about boxing, skill, or belts, its about color shades. Why is that black fighters not only have to dominate their opponent in the ring but they have to sell themselves to even get the recognition and the credit they deserve? Fighters from Jack Johnson, Ali, Mike Tyson, Roy Jones, and even Mayweather not only had to dominate but they had to act a fool to marketed themselves. Where as white fighters like Joe C, Kelly Pavil (at one time), Klitch bros and the one that takes the cake MANNY PACQUIAO can fight bums, remain humble and get all the credit in the world.
No matter who Mayweather fights its never good enough. He beat castillo, they said he lost, he beat him again and they still complained. Hatton ko castillo and they said Floyd was ducking him, he ko'd him and they turned around and said he was too small. Floyd went up to 154 got the official belt at the official weight they said Oscar was too old. Two years later Oscar drained down to 147 and got stopped by Pac and they gave him fighter of the year. Pac turned around and ko hatton after floyd and got fighter of the decade. Margarito a MEXICAN beat cot first, Pac beat him and they compared him to armstrong and ali. Mosley kos Mayorga and Margarito and loses 12 brutal rounds to floyd, they say Mosley is too old. Pac beats Margarito the WW for the 154 title and he's rated the best fighter ever? I don't understand this ****..
Marquez goes up to 144, they say he was bloated and didn't belong at that weight. Now Roach says bring him to 147 cuz Manny isn't going to do a catch weight?? The catch weight king isn't going to do a catch weight??
If Floyd ever fights Pac, which i doubt because they're going for Marquez. If floyd wins they'll say...he was too small, a congress man etc..
Klitch brothers are no longer fighting on HBO. I guess it must be because of their color?
This has NOTHING to do with color!!!Comment

Bro im black, i know how it is in this world. U think tyson was selling out just because he was koing people? THat was only half of it. The other half was he was a black man acting crazy. People thought the dude was a ticking time bomb. The white man get a kick out of seeing blacks act a fool. U think they gave floyd 24/7 by mistake?Comment

Oh come on, Tyson knocked fools out, thats why he drew so much attention. I guess you think the Tyson ass hole of the 90's is how he always was. He wasn't like that in the 80's when he was on top of the world. And the Klit brothers can hardly get on HBO anymore. They are not favored at all. Andrea Berto is black, not all that great, but still HBO invests in him. Things do have something to do with race in this world but not as extreme as you are seeing it.
What baffles me is Floyd has consitently hit over a million buys and is a draw and has a ton of non black fans. The TS is an idiot.Comment

Because him and BOb Arum don't do business and thats apparent. Floyd use to be a top rank fighter but they fell out because like Pac Bob just wanted to milk Floyd. FLoyd keeps saying the **** but nobody listens to him. Bob still owes FLoyd from previous fights. Floyd never fought cotto, clottey, or margarito? U can call it ducking but they are all Top Rank fighters hence the reason he hasn't fought them. Hence the reason Manny has fought all of them back to back...u don't see it?Comment

God there are a lot of ****** people on this site...by that I mean not smart and totally ignorant. PrinceCharlez, you can count yourself amongst this crowd now. Pulling the race card now???...in the worlds most diverse sport???...get the fcuk outta here you petty, insect brained moron. Take that nonsense to another site. You people always got an excuse for Floyd...I'm sure all the negative press has NOTHING to do with him being an ass hole, having piles of legal troubles, his dad and uncle/trainers legal troubles and bad attitudes, etc. Shut up with your excuses. Newsflash idiot...mike wilbon, the man who keeps calling him a coward on espn, is BLACK!!!!Comment
