    Hardly. Kim is one of the most unbiased boxing writers in the sport.

    The Asians you cant take serious are Ronnie, Dennis Guillermo or Songaylia.

      The Asian part has nothing to do with his biases.

      He does have a west coast bias though.

      He lives there and he hangs out with the fighters.

        Well I doubt he'll fight anyone worth a damn, so...

        And I doubt he'll make it a action fight!!!

        The only thing that will happen is Floyd trying to make a statement that he is stronger than Ortiz, he will get KD hard, and the he will resort to run and potshot Ortiz to death!!

        So if we have 1 and a half rounds of action, that would exceed expections!

            Floyd will never outsell Pac in ticket-sells.

            The two different locations deal that could be affecting this as well.

            A big chunk of the Ortiz fans ( Mexicans) are probably going to see Canelo instead.

                  Yea, him and Fish don't like Mayweather for whatever reason. They never elaborated on it from what i've read.

                  They kind of just leave it at, "Take my word for it, Floyd is a ****ty human being in person."

                  Never heard Kim play the Asian card once in regard to Paq or any other Asian fighter so Im a really big fan of him for proving he has no bias when it comes to race.

                  Now, when it comes to College football, Kim has an East coast bias...

                    This is how it will always be.

                    Floyd > Pac = PPV Sales
                    Pac > Floyd = # of tickets sold

                    It's a fact, folks.

                    The only reason why Floyd's fights get higher gate revenue numbers is that the tickets are always much more expensive.
