Floyd Mayweather Jr. – All money ain’t Good Money.

[SamuraiSam]

1. Is this article about the conversation Floyd had with the DJ that was asking him to fight Shane Mosley and Paul Williams?

2. Just so I make sure I'm understanding what's going on here, is TS main statement and point for creating this thread is that the black community doesn't accept Floyd Mayweather?

1. Are you serious? Is this question meant to deflect attention from the actual subject stated in the article, or is it just a reflection of your personal FAILure at reading comprehension? Either option doesn't look good for you and makes you look foolish.

Okay, granted you might have dismissively skimmed quickly through the copy/pasted article posted by the TS, probably out of bias or prejudice preconceived by prior acquaintance with the TS's previous postings. But he also posted the actual URL linking to the original article on ThyBlackMan.com where you could have read the original article instead of taking the TS's copy/paste rendition for granted.

If you read the article here or on the original webpage, the eighth paragraph down will answer your question. Read it slowly and with a dictionary if you need assistance. Still confused? If so, you can attribute it to the mental state, characteristic of hardcore New Breed fans & Floydiots, called "cognitive dissonance."

2. I can't speak for the TS's motive for creating this thread, but to me it seems it was posted (in the same vein of BIGPOPPAPUMP's postings of articles of interest to forum members) as a more revealing & informative rebuttal to the recent rash of troll threads created by those clowns Inkanyamba & Khasekhemwy. And by simply mentioning those two clowns, it disproves your assumption that the article implies the Black community doesn't accept Floyd. This article on ThyBlackMan.com by Steven Robinson is apparently only ONE Black man's perspective on Floyd's character, and is NOT representative of the Black community as a whole...since Inkanyamba, Khasekhemwy and like-minded compatriots would obviously represent the contrasting, opposing side of the Black community.

The question I'd seriously like to see answered is, "What would be the percentages of the Black community who would stand on each side of the divide?" If ballots went out to every African American to cast their vote, or if there was an online poll, what percentage would stand by Steven Robinson's ideal of the noble Black man's character, and what percentage would uphold Floyd's corrupted & cowardly representation?

As the article's title implies, MONEY ain't everything. And what does the bible have to say about money?

'Nuff said.

Why are you so concerned with who and what percentage of black people like what. Why is that such a big deal for you who we like or don't like? Are we that influential?

[Daylyt]

wow what a powerful article it really opened my eyes and exposed so much truth.

[SamuraiSam]

Hmmm so other races can support they fighters but African Americans aren't allowed to show solidarity with their fighters? Double standards smh.

Ironic how there's a double standard within the Black community itself in the assessment of Floyd's character...your standard vs Steven Robinson's standard.

Funny how you take this article from ThyBlackMan.com and turn it around to play the double standard victim race card, based on an assessment by a fellow Black man. WTF??? It's mind boggling how you take an article from ThyBlackMan.com, written by a Black man, and draw the conclusion that it's a condemnation of Blacks showing solidarity & support of Black fighters.

I don't know if it's just your failure at reading comprehension or a faulty lapse in logical thinking, but I'm sure everyone else can see that the article is NOT critical of all African American fighters and showing support for them. It's just critical of Floyd, who is giving the Black man a bad rep and is dragging down fellow Black fighters with him by association. I think that's what Steven Robinson is railing against. But noooOOOOoooo...you conclude he's telling you not to support any Black fighter...and especially the richest, most wondrously wealthy athlete in the whole wide freakin' world. LOL.

Money ain't the only value to life...or legacy.

'Nuff said.

TLDR... Posts regarding race in any way shape or form shouldn't be allowed on this site period...

What a croc of **** this interview and thread is.

Let me guess, since it was written by an African American it's to be taken more seriously? It's just like those racists that post videos of black people mocking Adrien Broner or Floyd, they think because a single black person is doing we should all do it. The "author" is obviously a UT or a unknowingly privileged white person pretending to be black. His name and color doesn't change the fact that he wrote an essay about a botched radio interview that happened many years ago.

Think about that for a second.

Wow, cognitive dissonance runs strong with this sorry MF. Leave it to a hardcore, TMT card carrying Floydiot to miserably FAIL at distinguishing between an "interview" and a staff writer's weekly column... and to willfully deny the truth staring him in the face.

Okay, I gave thought to what you wrote for even MORE than "a second," and I still conclude your premise just screams out FAIL all around... because of your pulling the race card and because of your rationalizing that the writer must not be Black.

I admit I had questions about the writer myself when I first read the article. (Is it really possible for a website called ThyBlackMan.com to have non-Black staff writers masquerading as Black?) So I looked into more of what he wrote to see if there was more credibility to him, and to make sure, like you assume here, that Steven Robinson is NOT just a "privileged white person pretending to be black." After reading more of his writings from the link http://noroomtowiggle.wordpress.com/ provided at the end of the article, it becomes undeniable that those are the words coming from an honest to goodness, real deal Black man with old school integrity and values.

Let me guess...you'd gladly give more credibility and have us take more seriously any Caucasian's or non-Black's gargling & swallowing of Floyd's juice over anything your fellow African American might write if he's being critical of Floyd??? LOL...the hypocrisy and double standard you expose is outrageously hilarious.

And you assume any video showing your fellow Blacks being critical of Black fighters must have been posted by racists? You truly have a serious persecution/victimization complex about your Blackness. And you act as if your version of Blackness is the only true representation of what the Black community feels about Floyd. Wrong!! Those videos you reference serve as proof that there are still intelligent Blacks full of integrity in the community (yeah, that means more than "a single black person" as you wishfully think) that don't hold superficial, corrupted values like you do.

Take a look at my reply in comment #11. Tell me honestly, what percentage of the Black community do you think would side with you versus Steven Robinson? Personally, I believe there's a vast majority of intelligent, OLD SCHOOL, Black-values holding people that would significantly outnumber the ignorant, young punk minority that have grown up in the morally corrupted rap/hip-hop generation that you're influenced by. I'm positive your grandma, and maybe even yo' momma, doesn't praise the "Money Power Respect," bling-bling worshipping, Money-over-everything-else values that your pathetic hip-hop generation upholds.

It's telling a lot when you describe the radio interview that this writer wrote about as being "botched." You further expose yourself by admitting that Floyd didn't make himself look good here and negatively represented the Black community. It validates everything the writer just wrote about Floyd. "Botched" translates into the embarrassing TRUTH of Floyd's character being exposed, shown in his evasive anger at the radio DJ. Exactly like Steven Robinson wrote, Floyd plays the race card to cover his inability to articulate a truthful response to a straightforward question. The fact that it happened years ago doesn't negate the fact that it's in his characteristic mentality to act as a "chump" instead of a "champion." His character remains as true today as it was those three years ago. Read Mr. Robinson's last paragraph again and think about it...for a few hours or days, or as long as it takes for the truth to sink in...if it's even possible, judging from your mentality.

'Nuff said.

Ah, those who say much, but say nothing.


Has one salient point been made in this thread?

1. Actually, my question is not trying to deflect the subject at hand. The subject at hand is based around an interview Floyd did where in the author's POV, Floyd tried to use his race as a means to why he didn't fight said fighters. And I quote from the article "you" posted; I say you because you're probably an alt from TS:

"Case in point was a radio show that he did back in November of 2011. The host, ironically a Floyd Mayweather Jr. fan, asked him a question that many boxing fans have wanted to ask him for a long time. The question was ***8220;why won***8217;t you fight Manny Pacquiao.***8221; For those of you not in the know Manny Pacquiao is considered to be the best pound for pound boxer in the same weight class as Mayweather.

This was an affront to boxing fans, and it would***8217;ve stayed an in-house ***8220;boxing fan***8221; debate had Floyd not opened his big mouth on a radio show and turned it into an issue of race.

***8220;You***8217;re not black, are you,***8221; he questioned the DJ who was interviewing him.

***8220;No, and what does that have to do with anything?***8221; the DJ responded.

In other words, he played himself, AND used his blackness (and apparent ****phobia) as a shield to prevent his inability to answer a straightforward question. To make matters worse he equated that with being black.

So, being black is not being able to articulate a response? It apparently also means that the only thing you***8217;re good at is executing a non-sequitor argument. Thanks Mayweather".

I asked the question in my original post of "is the point of this thread about a radio interview Floyd did years ago. You then proceeded to accuse me of not having reading comprehension or trying to change the subject at hand, which is clearly not what I'm doing here; just speaking truth. So maybe you should check your reading comprehension instead of asking others too.

But if we're talking about the interview that was years ago, Floyd ended up fighting Shane Mosley within a year after this interview. On the other hand, Floyd did not fight Paul Williams like the DJ asked. Anyway, that's besides the point.

I will say that I didn't read the actual article at TBM.com, only what TS (yourself) posted. BTW, I don't understand why you feel the need to keep repeating the name of the website... Maybe that's just your way of pointing out and reminding us that a black man wrote the article .

Anyway, my whole rebuttal is to disprove your claim of me lacking reading comprehension when I clearly copied and pasted what the author said in his article to prove my original question of "Is this article about the conversation Floyd had with the DJ that was asking him to fight Shane Mosley and Paul Williams" to be legit.

2. To answer your question of "What would be the percentages of the Black community who would stand on each side of the divide?" I don't know, maybe you should lead the crusade of "how many AA's support FMJ" and get us that answer. Me, personally, I could really care less in what percentage of African American's support FMJ. Some support him and some don't. IMO, he's done many things in the past that I don't condone or support. I'm sure you've done many things throughout your life that I don't condone or support, starting with a few of your posts in this thread; but who am I to judge

[Syf]

If people dislike Floyd, it's because of individual vitriol and bias.

My wife hates him because he's a manhoe, and promoting those types of values to society.

My enthusiasm for him has cooled greatly because of a combination of his pattern of behavior that he has set that seems to irrefutably suggest he is a dishonorable person. A shyster and a sneak. Every interview I hear from him of late reminds me of a slimy politician. The last straw was this gloves fiasco. For me. Saying it's about safety first in a modern day gladiatorial contest is just.... Craven. No other way to slice it.

But some offhand comment said on a radio show only reaches the few boxing hardcore standouts that the author of the articles claims the comments transcended. There is very little accountability for words said by a fighting specialist that is presumed by society to come from humble and often under educated beginnings. By my reckoning, The merit of such men is found in how they account for them selves, in, and leading up to, combat with another man.

Not in an ignorant comment they make here or there.

What a troll.

If people around here wouldn't have taken the authors article seriously, Inkanyamba would have called us all "racist bigots" like he always does in most of his posts. SMH.
