This writer really doesn't like Mayweather. Biased much? The system does actually target rich and famous african americans more, let's be honest. I don't think Tyson or Mayweather are guilty of what they were convicted of. It's bs. But they know the truth.

To bring matters from worse to WORST, Mayweather's holding, running and hugging makes him sadistically BORING inside the ring. Not a "fighter" by any stretch of the imagination.

Plus, he actually lost 4 rounds to a one-armed-man. No wonder his so-called "victory" is tainted and questioned for eternity.

Dr Dre Beats is more than just a headphone brand

This article comes across as someone angry because they didn't get a press pass.

Welcome to how it works. ***** avoids Fox and doesn't invite conservative reporters to interviews. Bush snubbed ******* reporters. Actors stop giving interviews to people who are negative against them, and entire studios and promotion companies avoid networks and programs that are critical of their talent. This is not a new thing, but has been going on since the dawn of the media. ESPN is finally reaching out to more diverse groups and has a lock on sports reporting, so they are taking much more risks with their stories, which is the only reason they are talking about these things.

Beating a dead horse in hell...yes Mayweather is a de****able human being. But that's nothing new. Nor is it unique in the boxing world.

I think the boxing media are a bit gutless when it comes to the cancelling of credentials. It would be a big story in a lot of sports if a journalist lost their credentials because they were critical of a coach or a team. But most boxing writers don't say anything about it when it happens to one of their people. It's probably because most of them have no basic journalism training and don't even understand the norms of their own profession. You can see that in lots of other areas of their writing too.

Obviously this doesn't just apply to Mayweather/Haymon stories. It applies right across the board.
