legend Roy Jones speaks on how america treats black boxers and the Ward vs GGG beef

[Boxing Goat]

sexual assault didn't stop Big Ben and he is a known pig when it comes to women, yet Mike Vick lost his prime years for freggin dog fighting???
All the while Mike Tyson lost his prime years because of an alleged **** but every one knows Ben is a habitual offender


That's America for you .....Did big Ben even get a suspension, fine, or a few days behind bars???


Ronda Rousey is dating a DV guy and admitted to striking boy friends etc

Two things you absolute twit.

Big Ben didn't get indicted for **** and what does the guy endorse exactly?

I don't know of a single f$ckin thing that he is the face of.

Black athletes sell more sh$t in America than they sell in the rest of the world combined.

Yes but their main industry is acting victimized. It's very easy, millions of dollars in instant free advertising.

You could literally drop $10 mil on a conventional ad campaign or you can just say "im black, they racist!" and be on the front page of half the internet. Business is business.

In most other countries people would just kind of look at you embarrassed and ignore it so it isn't a source of income therefore isn't a thing.

Black Americans definitely have it easier than any other ethnic/national combo on planet Earth. Best of both worlds. Spoiled American living + a fake "oppressed from the streets" routine despite being among the 3 or 4 wealthiest per capita human demographics in the known universe. Just roll out of bed and get handed things by dad (other people=dad).

[Bigg Rigg]

Most black kids in the hood don't know who Ward is but they know who Broner. Why is that??

[Sugar Adam Ali]

This is just naïve and ridiculously wrong.

You do realize that marketing guys don't care about skin color.. Just who is gonna reach the biggest audience and who will represent the company well.

.

The biggest endorsements in history are for black guys..

Micheal Jordan
Shaq
Kobe
Lebron
Tiger woods
Tyson pre-robin givens and prison

Manny was asian and got a bunch of deals

I don't see how marketing and endorsement deals are based on skin color..

[SnakeVen0m]

He's talking about boxers. Or did you conveniently miss that part of it?

Oh like the highest paid boxer? No i'm sorry, I mean athlete in general, Mayweather?

[danceswithfire]

I disappointed that roy doesn't realized how high he is being regarded as to boxing fans....hell, he maybe the best boxer that ever lived

Roy Jones Jr being straight up on why he went to Russia, he just gets more opportunities there. He broke it down, 1, 2, 3, he gave reason, he was logical. Roy Jones just as good at expressing himself as he was a fighter in his prime. It's difficult to say what Roy Jones said and not come off as negative but even anti-black people can't even hate what Roy said, it was very logical and he broke it down in a very civilized manner.

Well I think that works towards his argument. Where was Sony, Nike, Gatorade when Roy Jones Jr was on top 2003-Prior. He was FOTD, but didn't get anything other Jordan endorsement deals, a "black", "urban" company. Prime Roy Jones was KO'ing guys in brutal fashion and fighting top 10 contenders every time out. Sony or no big brands were calling his manager to endorse him though.

AHHH it never fails when the topic of race comes up. Look at all the non-black people telling black people how black people live, are treated and how we should feel about being black. Its amazing!!! Please tell us more!!!

Lol, I find that interesting as well. Reminds me of when men comment with conviction on matter's that concern only women like ********.

I wouldn't expect anything less though, topics like race, religion,\and politics normally bring out the worst in people. Hardly anyone enters those conversations with an objective, open mind.

What you're saying is not relevant to what he was talking about. Why don't you actually watch the interview before conveniently creating your own strawman argument.
