    Umm no offense but that's because white Americans stopped trying in boxing, they just gave up. They aren't really good at it at pro level(no offense) but it's the truth. If Floyd was white but didn't change anything about the way he sells himself to the public I think his white self would make just as much if not more money. White people would be all over him. Pacquiao vs Mayweather wouldn't have been a Asian vs Black thing, but rather a Asian vs White thing which is a lot bigger since there are a lot more whites than blacks in America.

    A undefeated, ****y white fighter who hasn't lost a fight in his entire pro career? He'd be loved!

      If mayweather was white, he'd be getting huge endorsements out the wazoo.
      A lot of money was made off of being hated. And there have been a bunch of white rappers and not one of them was as ever as close to being as big as Em.

          If Mayweather was white, Pacquiao would have had waaaaaaay more black fans.

          But seriously, if Mayweather was white he would have never become a boxer. He would probably sell insurance or some ****.

            Race relations in America only go to highlight how in some ways American society is stuck in the 1950s..

            Most of the developed world dont have these issues so widespread, time to catch up America

              What about comedians, aren't the consensus greats Pryor and Chappelle?

It's done almost unconsciously in some cases e.g. defending Mayweather as TBE, but not really knowing why.
                He'd be treated like GGG only worse because he doesn't even get the KO'd like GGG does.

                  Yea, people want to see him beaten.

                    There's loads of white rappers. Eminem was the biggest because he was different, and I don't mean in skin color, instead of rapping about how gangsta he is and how much money he gets Eminem was something new and what really blew him up was the comedy tracks, kids loved that sht. No kid really cares about 50 cent and his plain music showing off his cars and mansion while telling them about how many hoes he's got and how he'd knock them out if they ever stepped to'em. They want something entertaining not something to daydream to.

                      i'm not a fan of crap music


                      eminem is crap as well, he is a novelty white rapper who had a machine behind him and dr dre

                      vanilla ice has the highest selling rap song of all time

                      eminem has the most rap albums sold of all time

                      beastie boys had the first diamond rap album

                      what do they all have in common?

                      i'm white by the way, so don't spin that race **** wiv me

                      crap music is disgusting, eminem is a weirdo

                      there is only one good rap tune, sugar hill gang rappers delight
