I'm a Filipino-American and a fan of Mayweather (in the ring)...I think he's got superlative defensive skills, footwork and angles. I am a fan of Pacquiao also but like any other fighter who exhibits good fighting skills, intelligence and anywhere in between.
I live in Seattle, one of the most diverse places on this planet and I have coworkers and friends who are mayweather fans. And I'm talking about african-american, mexican, white, indian, and believe it or not some filipinos so it's absolutely a stereotype.
You can say the same about a lot of boxers and sports people in general.
most people think most Cotto fans are from P.R.
and most Hatton fans where white Brits.
most Pac fans are Filipino.
most Klit fans are eastern European.
Most Khan fans are ******.
Most of Tim Bradley's 5 fans are black Americans.
Point is its not exclusive to Mayweather fans or even boxing its just the way a lot of people think at the end of the day liking people because of there race or country they where born in is what small minded people do.
because they are Racist Losers who have more of a problem with Mayweather being Black, so they feel nobody should like him besides Black People lol
trust me he is not making the amount of money his is making by just appealing to his own people, it is a lot more people who RESPECT his Skills (REGARDLESS OF RACE) compared to the BS you see on Boxing Forums
it is funny when I hear fellow boxers and trainers talk about Mayweather, 99% usually praise the guy and talk about how good he is compared to the immature fans on the internet who try to discredit the guy every chance they get lol
but if you only like certain fighters simply because he "LOOKS LIKE YOU" then you really shouldn't even consider yourself a BOXING FANS, your just a insecure guy with a Inferiority Complex who needs some reassurance...PRIDE is one thing, it is nothing wrong with having PRIDE, but when your trying to get others to believe that your Favorite Fighters is "THE GREATEST" only because he is the same race as you are then that is PATHETIC! Don't disrespect the History Of Boxing so you can feel better about yourself and it is a lot of fans that do that ALL THE TIME especially on this forum
