Comments Thread For: Peterson: Black Fighters Get Little Support From Black Fans

[onechance87]

blacks are done with boxing IMO

yes,There hopes are n berto putos hands

[Mr. Fantastic]

Lets get down to the reality of the situation.

Blacks like to support their own when they are dominating. Black dominance in boxing, is gone. We can also look at baseball as an example. There aren't as many dominating Black players, so the audience has fled.


Now, we can move on over the the NBA and NFL and see Blacks dominating those sports,

and they have the support of Black fans.

Take away the domination factor, and the fans flee.

Look at how many Black people became interested in tennis and golf once a Black was dominating those sports.

So true!! Couldn't of said it any better.

It's funny to read from white people what they think black fans think about black fighters.

it's a riot!!

as if all black people come together and mentally unite and synchronize our thoughts.

Mexicams are in all sports. Specially the Mexicans from Mexico. Martial arts, diving, car racing ( no blacks), baseball, MMA ( watch out ), gymnastics, and other things that require huevos but not necessarily a sport, lime bullfights, charreria , things that a black person would absolutely never do due to the lack of huevos involved.

So now Blacks are scary ass people.

average mexican fan: who's fighting ese? margarito? is he mexican? viva mexico

average mexican fan #2: hey holmes, some guy named cotto is fighting shane mosley. is the cotto guy mexican? no? **** him then, turn to telemuendo!!

at least they show support to their countries fighters, young or old. not like people from america, who only know the fighters on their way out.

It's about promotion. If the promoters put time on you then you'll be a star. Do you remember how Canelo was mentioned as a possible opponent for Mayweather. That was not by mistake - It's promotion. Blame your promoter.

[DreamPirate]

other countries distinguish just as much as america does.

the puerto ricans that look more like TITO TRINIDAD and less like RICKY MARTIN would agree with me.

so would the non traditional or ginger mexicans. if a mexican doesn't look like margarito, barrera, morales, or a ginger, he gets no support.

if shane mosley's last name was VASQUEZ or GONZALEZ he'd still receive minimal support.

dark black skin is a burden for millions globally. do some research.

wtf, most mexicans look like margarito, barrera, and morales. shit, you could put some feathers on their head and they will all look like a bunch of mexican indians.

well to me its racial !!

and economical !!


ecomomical....... ya see weather people like to admit it or not blacks are the poorest most deprived group in america !! despite been there almost as long as the brits/europeans !! dont wanna get into reason but this trend contines in what ever country there in ........... uk same ! france the same ! ect ect

culturaly ............. well there sort of in a nowere land limbo !! they have no sense of belonging or identitiy .......


racialy ............. most aint even black !! there hybrids !! 3/4 mix's 1/2 mix's ....ali.... lenored ... joe lewis and so on, go to africa ..................... black people dont look like that !!! so really they have a conflict of intrests, they could just as easy support a white fighter or hispanic fighter coz there made of big %'s of there genes alot the time !!
look new kid on block ward hes half white but he says hes black ............... he could just as easy say hes white lol
