    Which as Peterson says, doesn't really support black fighters Besides, Berto's identity is that he is Haitian right? So I don't see why Americans would be so excited to get behind him........

      Oh well, Khan makes double and he's boring and usually getting his ass kicked. Khan made a lot of money tonight and stunk up the joint. Sure the Berto fight will be much better.

          Closed mouths don't get fed and we all know Andre has a big mouth that is how he gets his big paydays so in conclusion,, he is doing is job.

          I will agree with Nazzim, why hate the man if I was asked to fight bums and get millions I would do it.

              Big ups to Berto for getting that money, but hbo should invest the money in other fights.

              But these f@ggot*s like(MARK DLT AND KOKING) don't undestand. Funny they think that way maybe theyre the ones that are broke or just a bunch dumb ignorant idiots trying to divert the real problem.

                Peterson is wrong. If a black fighter is dominating, they come back.

                Well, we have Americans supporting a Filipino. Aslong as Berto keeps winning fights, sooner or later word will get out.

                Also Berto was born here wasn't he?

                  Berto is American. He was born in America and always competed for America. His dad may be Haitian but Andre is clearly American with some Haitian heritage. I don't even think his mother is Haitian, I think she's American.

                    If Berto can prove himself to be excellent it will all work out, there was a certain young boxer that got paid handsomely (he called them slave wages) and people said he wasn't worth it and he would never be a big star.

                    That guy turned into a big star~ so it is not impossible

                      Good post. Not enough variety of fights like they use to, it feels like a waste of money buying hbo
