Floyd Mayweather Bans The Phillipines "It's F**ked Up Over There"

[Robbie Barrett]

Now they're arguing about who's poor people are worse off.

If both have nothing, how can one be better off?

[Robbie Barrett]

Agree. Some people in the third world see documentaries about our poor people and literally want to be them because life looks good compared to what they have.

There is absolutely no comparison.

What are they watching these documentaries on?

There is a difference. People in the U.S naturally have more than nothing namely access to food whereas other countries don't even have that.

TVs exist in poor parts of the world. I've been in many places where there are 50 people hovered around a tv at the corner shanty/store watching it.

The one thing I hated about the documentary, is where they genuinely compared the US version of 'the streets', i.e how Mayweather was supposedly brought up, to being brought up on the streets in the Philippines fighting for your family's daily food.

Two totally different worlds

on Mayweather: 'streets that hardly brought any more promise'

Like seriously ?

I thought this too. Don't get me wrong I know little to nothing about the area that Floyd grow up in, but from what I have read and things I have seen on where Manny grew up, I would bet that they do not compare all that much.

Manny spent the first years of his life virtually in a jungle of a region that had a war going on. Had to move away from that to sell stuff on the street for pennies to give his mother while they went periods of time with nothing to eat etc.. I understand life may not have been all too easy for Floyd early but come on.


EDIT: So in relation to Floyd saying it is a mess over there well he is right. No need for people to jump on him for saying it really. Yes how he said it was a little crude but that is about it. He isn't exactly wrong.

It's f'd up over there but we have to remember that the Philippines is a 3rd world country full of political corruption.

Whats even worse is that the United States is the most powerful country in the world and we have towns and city's that are just as f'd up.

They are f'd up because of crime that is comparable but poverty, no way.

Some people can't even go to a clinic or hospital or drink clean water for free if they wanted to.

That's the difference.

It is really an accident of birth that most of grew up in developed countries.
We are lucky even if poor.

Why is the number more relevant than the refusing a drugs test , thats the meat in the sandwich of that comment , your comprehension of what is important is misguided .

any update on Floyd random drug test by USADA?

[tredh]

i don't think its comparable. some people in 3rd world countries literally eat garbage just to survive.

Look I'm really not trying to compare the poverty in america to the philipines because overall you all right there is no comparison.

To the bold I work by the white house where the president of the usa lives while in office. I can literally walk one block from the white house and take pictures of homeless people here eating garbage.

So can we all just stop with comparing of the poor and down trodden people of the world cause we really look and come off as @$$holes for doing so!

There's nothing to argue about. Poor people in developed countries get some sort of support from the government like food stamps and what not.

In 3rd world countries, corruption is so extreme that there is nothing left to support those living below the poverty line.

Here's a CNN piece about pagpag.

It's literally restaurant garbage, recooked, and sold as food.



Think it's hard living on food stamps? Try living off garbage.
