I like Lamont Peterson, so I don't feel like watching a video that might make me hate some of the **** he says. I don't like when people pull the race-card ****. I just hate how people assume everyone else has it easier because there white or another ethnicity. Life is not easy for no one, maybe the people born rich but thats about it. -

HBO and Showtime pay more to black fighters, and discriminate against white boxers.
Dzinziruk, an undefeated world titleholder, was offered just $100,000 to be on HBO, but they paid Berto about $1,000,000 for his last fight, against a tomato can.
Dmitry Pirog was paid a tiny fraction of what Daniel Jacobs was paid for their fight, I think it was $30,000.
Jason Litzau was paid only $50,000 for the Caballero fight.
Ross Greenburg has even said they plan on doing all they can for black fighters.
If the Klitschkos and Adamek were African Americans, you can bet your life HBO and Showtime would be bidding big money to have them on.Last edited by The Hammer; 12-01-2010, 08:15 PM.Comment
