What a bunch of bull****. I'm tired of the racism bunny pulled out of hats. I like GGG because I love to watch him fight. He is brutally entertaining and funny. I am white yes, and I am not going to be shamed into not liking someone due to the same damn skin color.

Some of you are so damn shallow in here.

Yeah imagine if Bernard Hopkins was 34 and refused to move.............oh whoops that doesn't fir does it? How about Marvin Hagler? Nope doesn't work for him either.

Was Hopkins saying he would fight anyone from 154-168? Was Hopkins known as a killer and the most feared fighter? Hopkins did move up anyway. Hagler had big fights at 160. What big fight does Lil g have at 160 again??


I see you want that pussie to stay at that weight so Ward doesn't dog him out. The thing is Ward will move up and fight Kovalev, but lil g won't fight Ward. So Crawford, Danny Garcia... etc should have never moved up huh? Fuucking **** rider.

When it is clear you are the best at your division and can't get big fights there you move up dip shyt.

I wanna hear what you ******s say if Crawford decides to never move up to 147 and continues to beat the shyt out of sub-par competition. Naw he won't get that pass. Lil g is scared and the great white hype period.

Look I can't speak for Mayweather but I can provide my interpretation of his comments.
1) When is comes to Manny, I believe what he's trying to say is you have all of these Black and Latino fighters that are damn good at what they do but American Television and the powers that be choose to put the money and push behind the fairer skin fighter or the non black/dark skinned Latin fighter when they are up against a fighter of darker skin. Even when the fairer skinned fighter is matched soft, his lack of competition is overlooked and not scrutinized in the same fashion as its seems the competition of darker skinned fighters are.
2) When it comes to GGG compared to Ward. GGG can fight the local bus driver and HBO seems to be fine with it. And it commentators glorify is dominance of sub par competition. There's never a request, call for, or statement made about GGG going up a division to seek a challenge.
Then you have Ward, who has proven his abilities by fighting what was deemed to be the top completion of his division at the time. Instead of allowing Ward to remain at his division and fight whomever, you're refusing anybody he presents you as an opponent. You won't allow him another fight on your network unless he goes up a division whether he's ready or not. You won't allow him the same luxuries that you allow GGG.
You can say it has to do with ticket sales but it does not because HBO does not make anything off ticket sales. You can say it has to do with viewership but that's not true because I think you'll find that Ward's HBO numbers and GGG's about the same. Hell you can even argue that GGG is willing to accept less than Ward for fighting on their network and I call bulls%it because the promoter guarantees the purse not the network. The promoter sells the broadcast rights to the network and I'm sure RocNation would be willing to pay Ward what he wants as long as they can have his fight shown on HBO even if it meant taking a reasonable loss.
These are the double standards Floyd is trying to point out in my opinion.

If you happen to watch the Rios/Bradley fight on HBO this past weekend and listened to the glory and praise given to Lomo and Rios by Lampley you might understand what Floyd is talking about. I'm mean literally while Bradley is beating the breaks off of Rios, Lampley is saying the Rios may have been the best 135 lb fighter of all time yet he gives no praise of Bradley to the level he's giving Rios and Bradley is putting on an unbelievable showing.
Then with Lampley's praising of Lomo, and you think back to Rigo. Here Lomo is really toying with his opponent. He's not going for the KO. He's not loading up on shots. He's just boxing. But Lampley is praising him as a boxing God. And you think back to Rigo who dominates his opponents in similar fashion only to be crapped on every chance Lampley, Arum, and HBO gets.
HBO is an American Television company but refuses to put the money and push behind the darker skinned American fighter unless he's fighting his arch nemesis everytime out. And as of recent they have shown no intrest in putting a big push behind darker skinned North American fighters compared to those of lighter skin from anywhere Earth.
Its just an opinion. You'll either agree or disagree.

This is on point.

I don't consider Floyd black??? He never dated a kardashian so that proves it right there...

Boxing is America's 9th rated sport and no big deal

Boxing get's little attention in America and almost zero newspaper coverage and little TV news coverage outside of ESPN. Look at the make up of kids that box.
******
Gangs
tattoo covered
drug problems
Jail time
Uneducated
Broken homes
arrest records
Can't speak right
All that turns almost all fans off
Basically Boxing isn't important as most boaxer are the throwaway kids who don't matter in life anyway. Look around it so obvious. DUH?

I can't believe ppl are getting all upset over this ****** sht??? And EVERYONE knows Mexico has the best fighters! Lol

Which black fighters are comparible to GGG in terms of how they fight though?

Only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Wilder (a prospect who any network would love to have) and maybe Spence (same again). Both are prospects though have been signed to Uncle Al for a long time. HBO would snap them both up if they had the chance

Do you think its harder to be a black american boxer in America than it is being an Eastern European? If Wlad was a black American would he get any less attention than he gets now?

I can see that White or Hispanic Americans might get preferential treatment on American networks, but the idea that GGG has got in any easier because he's white is not true. He's popular because he is a killer in the ring. Same with Kovalev.

Paul Williams was a very exciting fighter, yet fans trashed him any time they get. PWill was far from a technical boxer, he was a straight up fighter who loved wars. For some reason he drew negative comments from fans despite being one of the nicest, most humble guys in interviews and having one of the most exciting styles from any fighter from WW-MW.
