It's quite a shame that Porter, Thurman, and Garcia can't headline shows on network tv b/c they are black and Puerto Rican..........oh wait

Create an alt to create a straw man argument.

Naaaah, It would have been much different if there were such a influential racist ideology.

So Mayweather's racist anti-Asian remarks calling Pac a little yellow chump and his "cook me some sushi and rice" and his insults against a Korean basketball player are somehow okay by him?? Mayweather has to be the most insecure little man in sports for the longest time now. He cannot stand Asians in his favorite sports getting any attention.

Yeah a lot of these weirdoes do things like that.

Poor Haymon and Mayweather. Two of the wealthiest men in the world. Mayweather, the thing is this. If you want GGG to move up 8 pounds to fight Ward then don't crybaby about Ward moving up 7 pounds to fight Kovalev. Is what Mayweather wants a clear double standard? Absolutely.

I don't dislike Floyd, but didn't he make racist comments towards Asians a few years ago? He should be little more careful of what he says.

Funny how people feel threaten by European and Asian fighters. What's even funnier is that they think it's just a phase. Can't wait to see what they say in a few years when there is even more boxers from those parts of the World.
HBO should and will continue to invest in Euro and Asian fighters just like they are investing in fighters from the Americas. It would be foolish if they don't. European and Asian fighters are dominating the amateur scene along with Cuban fighters. A lot of the best talent is coming from those parts of the World. I'm not saying those are the only places in which talent is coming from, but you have a lot of quality and quantity there. So why not give these guys a chance? I hope they start looking more and more into some of those countries since there is still a lot of undiscovered talent out there. Why not look at a country like Uzbekistan that is producing great talent right now. I would love to see someone like Bektemir Melikuziev and Fazliddin Gaibnazarov in the pro ranks. Melikuziev could be the next great Middleweight. Gaibnazarov would be a fantastic Light Welterweight.
Some people don't seem to like that. You would think boxing fans would be happy that we could get a more wide variety of styles and we have a chance to keep globalizing the sport, but I guess not.

???? May I ask what your asking????

This racist douchebag, I swear man. Dude, Hymen got the majority of his boxers from major networks who were hyping these guys up as stars. He let the networks do all the hard work and then he swooped in and stole them away, hoping to have a ready made product.

Don't come crying to the world now because Hymen doesn't know how to market his boxers properly. Get on the phone and complain to him if you want to do something about it.

Everything has to be about race with you Floyd, yet that didn't seem to be a factor when you were recognized as the best boxer in the world, making over $30M a fight now was it?

Now please Floyd......

GTFO!
