That's the sad part. An established duck getting awarded these truckloads of money.his ducking, retiring and vacationing ass made him an attraction. let's face it no boring, defensive, potshotting boxer ever made it big in this sport. he's no tyson.
espinoza once commented even if TBE loses, his comeback fight would still generate tons of money attributing it to the curiosity factor. he's right in the curiosity factor, but he's wrong in still making it big after the loss. all these numbers are driven by people wanting to see him lose, plus the curiosity factor. people don't want to see another guaranteed running, potshotting and ud'yingfor his comeback fight. he already lost, what's the point? unless they want to seem get murked like berto did against guerrero.
strange part is that the ducking master may well get awarded close to a quarter of a billion dollars in the pac fight, if it happens. if that's the only way to attract a chicken into a fight, so be it. i just hope he shares a small fraction of it to his tender, loyal loving fans. they've been defending him for years for free. $200+ in one fight is huge.

Yes, and without much question really.
Working class white kid from a boxing family, having shown great boxing talent since he was in his early, gets robbed at the Olympics to only walk away with a bronze medal, and earns his first world championship, in spectacular faction, against a rugged champion.
You add that this soft-spoken kid, within two years of his first championship, absolutely dominates the "boogeyman" in his division.
You'd have a 23 year old, working class, white fighter, with an Olympic medal on his ledger, viewed as a top p4p fighter in the world, and you don't think that he'd be a billionaire fighter?Comment

You have to be ignorant not to at least admit if the p4p best fighter in the world was white had his same record, accolades, and exact same skills wouldn't be richer...history has shown us this a million times in many ways. The average white man salary is more than the average blk guy...there are far more wealthy whites so u could see him being richer white....the white privilegeComment

If Klitschko's was american he'd make more than Floyd
The heavyweight champ usually is the highest paid athlete in the world...period
Tyson was in his era....Ali...now its not just race but nationality
A white american is like a rare pearl for the media...especially a humble sports figure
In a fair world there is no way Gerry cooney and Larry Holmes get the same purse and he is the champ...I think he was introduced first as well meaning Holmes...y'all plain ******...Floyd said a truth most Americans(white ones) don't want toLast edited by therealpugilist; 12-17-2014, 09:56 PM.Comment
