    At the end of the day we're all human. We are all one peoples part of one planet. We are all in this together forever, friends.

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people living life in peace

      OK? Is this a bad thing? I'm confused...THAT IS THE MARKET IN BOXING! Especially in the US! The Biggest Grossing Fights in boxing History was Black vs Latino

      So what is your point?

Prior to this the biggest matches (not including Floyd) were always Latino against Latino (Mexican vs. ...) seems like Haymon is taking a page from Mayweathers book and is pitting overmatched Latino fighters against a more talented/athletic black fighters to ignite some racial grudges.

          Lets be honest here, Haymon's latino fighters are nothing to brag about. If Guerrero was the best Latino fighter he had to offer than I am good about watching his fights.
          Your a ***in Idiots and this is PROOF! Haymon is invested in Leo Santa Cruz, Marcos Maidana, Abner Mares, Erislandy Lara, Danny Garcia and Omar Figueroa just as much as the rest of his fighters so this notion that somehow Latino Fighters will be this DOORMAT for Haymon's Black Fighters is just SILLY. He gets accused of PROTECTING Danny Garcia and Leo Santa Cruz as well does he not? Also have Rance Barthalemey, Prichard Colon and many many other Latino Prospect that we don't even know yet that he will try to make into stars. Put your insecurities away, if you look at his Roster it is mixed with all fighters of all Race and from ALL OVER THE WORLD!

          Some of you are worried because mostly likely you yourself would do business like that and make it all about YOUR OWN so you expect Haymon to be Bias JUST LIKE YOU

            Sorry, but some Blacks are also Latinos.

              It's not that Haymon is trying to market Blacks vs. Latinos (that's been going on in boxing since well before Haymon came around), but I think he is trying to get the level of support of black fighters on par with that of Latino fighters.

              How else do you explain relegating Abner Mares (arguably the biggest draw on the March 7th card) to NBC Sports Network and putting two relatively unknowns in Stevenson vs. Bika on prime time CBS, but putting a huge name in Chavez Jr. on Showtime?

              Latinos are usually the target audience of promoters because they are where the guaranteed money is, but Haymon seems like he is trying something different by making blacks his target audience. It's a gamble, but it could pay off.

                I wish boxing catered more towards the Middle Eastern Countries! Could you imagine all the little Ali Raymi's and Prince Hamed's running around?

                  I would like to see him take on guys like Jose Benevedes, Frankie Gomez Joesph Diaz Alex Luna rather than use guys like that bum Broner just fought
