    If he were white he wouldn't even be as famous as he is now. Name me one white boxer who made as much money as any black boxing star? if anything blacks get paid more than whites in boxing.

      You must be new to endorsements..... Lets take Tiger Woods as an example. The vast majority of Tiger Woods money came from endorsements, because he was marketable and he wasn't fully black. Not just marketable with things pertaining to golf, but to various things.

      If mayweather was white and acted the same exact way as the black mayweather is acting and was undefeated, I agree that his PPV sales wouldn't be as big as the black mayweathers, but the endorsements would be HUGE for the white mayweathers.

      the ONLY reason black mayweather gets so many ppv purchases is because blatant racists, closeted racists and people that just plain hate him want to seen him get knocked out. But he doesn't get many endorsements at all.

        Be honest...

        Let's take the whole package here...

        If Money Mayweather was White and said all the racial comments he's said (about White folks) about Black folks and gone to jail as a woman beater......
        White Mayweather would be boycotted and any endorsement deals he might have would have been dropped....

        That's just the way it would be in my opinion.....

              They would also say he was privileged, if Floyd were white and he pulled that Gloves thing, said he was scared for his health when Pacs name was brought up they would call him a ducker, who gets away with this and is afraid and being coddled with white privilege trying to gain advantages because he couldnt beat the superior black fighter or **********.
              What you mean 'pulled that gloves' thing. There was a contractual agreement and Maidana violated it. Whose fault is it that he and his people didn't know what they signed?

              Nice spin with the 'scared for his health' thing. Lets focus on that and leave out the part where Mayweather only mentioned his health concerns because Pac refused blood tests.

                If mayweather was white, he'd be getting huge endorsements out the wazoo.
                He'd be in an action movie or two too.

                  That's because the african american community has produced the best and most exciting fighters over the decades, especially when you count the heavyweight division.

                  How many white boxers have reached the levels of prime mayweather, ray robinson, ray leaneard, mike tyson, mohamed ali, joe frazer, george foreman, pernerll whitaker, lennox lewis (british but of african descent), bernard hopkins, roy jones, james toney, and the list goes on and on and on.

                  There have been no doubt some good white boxers, but come on, how many in comparison, and how many have reached those levels?

                  African Americans are dominant in sports and generally entertainment (music etc) and european americans are dominant in...well, everything else it seems. That's just the way it is thus far. Things can change at both spectrums in the future, but that's what we got right now.

                    LOL, the way you talking makes it seem like there really is a white mayweather walking around somewhere in the US. I can't get this image of a white mayweather out of my head.

                      Mayweather hasn't ever racially abused white people, all he said was that there was racism in boxing and used two examples of how two white people with the same character traits as him got treated differently.

                      He did however racially abuse Manny Pacquiao and the asian community, so there's that.
