Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Explains Altercation With Rapper T.I.

[RubenSonny]

No one is trying to speak on the behalf of black people...

1. Are TI and Floyd not idolized by portions of the youth for their status and success?

2. Did they act like idiots in this situation or do you condone and support their actions?

Just answer those questions and you will probably have the same answers as I did, but since I'm not black I'm wrong and have no say... That's about as narrow minded as you can get

No you made a bunch of claims in your earlier post talking about how them being positive role models would help the black community or some ****. You described the founder of bet as a positive role model for black people LOL, one of the ******est things I've heard in a while.

You have continually tried to speak on behalf of black people trying to say what a good role model is and how it would help black people.

I don't really see it as being influential or significant to anyones lives, unless something more comes of it, it will be forgotten very quickly. Its nothing for me to condone or condemn, so far its only been a minor incident. I don't really see what Floyd did wrong in the situation tbh, I need you to explain that...

Actually your concept of role models in the black community is what's really narrow minded. At what point did it become the responsibility of boxers and rappers to combat the issues of an entire demographic, they are entertainers. Celebrities of any other race are not held up to the same standard. Also notice how you go on about hip hop as a negative force, what about the glorification of drug use in other music, funny how you don't mention Johnny Cash who basically had the same subject matter of a gangster rapper.

You wouldn't have made any of these comments if they weren't black ,you wouldn't make any of these not-so-subtle comments about classiness, urban, youth etc if they were white or Hispanic.

Also the idea of public figures like entertainers is a bit ****** to begin with in the first place. These are people like you and me who aren't perfect and their purpose isn't to be a saint for their fans. Most of the people who are 'role models' do negative things whether they are public or not doesn't make them any better or worse. Lots of people considered Leonard a great role model until they found out he was a coke sniffing wife beater. Heavily sourcing your influence from someone you don't know personally and is only known to you from entertainment is a problem in the first place, not a solution.

Exactly, thank you,,, doesn't even make sense and is way too sensitive.. I like imdazed as a boxing poster, but way too sensitive about this topic..

Not once has he criticized TI and Floyd which makes me think he condones it and thinks it's ok

Hell be okay....hell break out a candle, maybe a sad song, have a good long cry....reflect on the knowledge that common sense alone should inform the difference between 70 percent of a market and 70 percent of the population.... and all will be kumbayai!!!

So he had an altercation with Snoopy Dog Doggy?

[Jimmy The Geek]

Yeah next up "TI guns down Mayweather"

Get a grip scarface.

You REALLY don't get it, do you?

Have you ever seen a really-bad street fight - the kind where people are playing for keeps? Ever seen a guy - who is unknown to anyone present - just step out of a crown and stick a knife into one of the fighters? Or...have you ever seen the loser later send his "Homies" after the so-called "Winner" while he's just sitting at a bar?

When the stakes are considered high by one or more players, this kind of stuff happens. But you wouldn't really believe that would you?

THIS is why Street Fighting can get so ******ly dangerous - especially when a guy thinks he's been disrespected in front of a large group of people he wants to impress. The stakes go way up...and so might the consequences.

Didn't you learn this in Junior High?

I feel really bad for Sugar but Ruben is right. Ok?

[rambov]

Studio gangsta!

TI ain't gunning down nobody. He got caught with guns doe.

1. I only mention the founder of bet because he obviously paid attention in school and used his brain.. Maybe he wasn't the best choice..

2. Do you not think TI and Floyd don't have influence?
3. Do you condone their actions..

It's basically as simple as that...

4. Your dead wrong when you say I wouldn't say anything if they were white or Hispanic.. When in this thread I clearly stated young white girls look up to the kardashians, teen mom on MTV, and other garbage like that.. It happens to all races...
No I didn't bring up Johnny cash, but I did bring up David Allan Coe who is a terrible human being white musician.. Reread my posts and actually comprehend before you make grand statements,, that's the height of ignorance right there

And? Mayweather and Judah got into a brawl in an actual ring and he didn't even get out of hand because he knew the "stakes" at that point.

You're giving TI and his fake thugs too much street cred

[TLC8]

I thought I made myself clear but if I need to break it down for you I will. The actions of two wealthy celebrities will not solve the problems of these kids they're "supposed" to be role models to... If they were not rich celebrities TMZ would not care. If TMZ did not bring this to light you and many of the posters on here would not care. As far as me bringing up the race card, I think that happened way before I posted on this thread.

I'm sure this story feeds your stereotype about Mayweather, T.I., and probably others but this doesn't make them gangsters. Real gangsters do gangster ****.

Deadbeat.... you're trying real hard to sound smart. You're an idiot. Nobody cares about their wealth, their fame, whether TMZ reported it, I heard about it, you heard about it....none of that matters. TWO FOOLS wanting to act like gangsters get into a brawl in a restaurant, throw chairs not giving a **** about the possibility of anyone getting hurt, over egos & pride. Unfortunately they were both high profile, they were both black, and the media caught wind. When you park your Million Dollar car out front of a Fatburger at 2am, on the Vegas Strip, you're going to draw attention. So you can't avoid those facts. You play this "If this didn't happen..... If they weren't wealthy..... If they weren't black..... If TMZ didn't know....." The bottom line these two are notoriously punks, and both will end up like Notorious BIG at some point, or the local fave, Tupac. Give it up... this video scene should have landed them all in the klink.
