          I get that 'negro' doesnt have the same connotations all over the world, but that google translated bit definitely sounded pretty racist.

          I'll reserve judgement until I hear a proper translation.

            Kovalev and broner do similar things. One is loved by nsb the other maligned. One has his actions interpreted giving him the benefit of the doubt. The other has his actions interpreted the worst possible way. One is forgiven for his slights almost immediately. The other has his slights define him.

            I guess its because kovalev is exciting and wins by ko.

                People shouldn't care about racism? Interesting.

                  It's the fight game. So he said Ni55er, big deal. He will plenty of them and a chance to see Kovalev get knocked out by a black fighter. It's not Golf or Tennis. What are they gonna do, not televise his fights anymore because he said something politically incorrect?
                  This. Lol. I really don't understand.... It's like some people want him to get shunned by HBO and become completely irrelevant in boxing.

                  Should the same thing have happened to Adonis Stevenson, Broner or PAC for cheating on his wife? Of course not

                    Not going to pretend I know enough about Russian lingo or word usage to say whether he's racist or not. It wouldn't exactly be a strange circumstance, though, if he is racist. Athletes of all sports typically aren't the smartest people in the world, and intolerance is born of ignorance.

                    I'll take the word of people who do speak Russian until I get evidence either way.
