    The vast majority of boxing's biggest stars have been black, so **** off with this racism stuff. There might be individual racists in boxing, but it certainly doesn't exist in any widespread way.

      Boxing has racism coming from all directions but it is actually probably one of the least racist of sports. I love how boxing is so international. Remember it is boxing: Most of the fighters come from real poverty and don't have any education (yes, I know there are a couple of exceptions) so there is more of a class-ism component than race.

        I call BS on this, most of the racism I see in boxing is OVER THE INTERNET. A bunch of weirdos trolling for attention and never actually attend any fights because I never hear about racial issues at Live Events so that tells me how COWARDLY most of these internet trolls are.

        People pushing agendas, they not trying to push it on Hardcover fans, they're pushing it on Casuals! Lampley knows he is not liked that is why if you noticed he don't stick around after HBO events and interact with the fans like Kellerman and Roy Jones Jr does. Lampley has a JOB TO DO and that is to try and make HBO Boxing and the fighters who fight on it look as good as possible

        People who throw this "Racism" BS around and I'm learning that most of those people don't even know what Racism is. You have GGG fans now accusing people of Racism, you had Mayweather whom despite Mayweather acting like a Ass and basically admitting that he wants the hate and wants to be the Villain people thought that all of his hate was purely racism which I don't think was the case because some of his biggest critics are BLACK

        We in a ERA of Sensitives Pu$$ies! When you can't debate about boxing because you really don't know much about it, you DRAG RACE into it to cover up your lack of knowledge of the sport and to offset the topic. Some people need to GROW UP! If you don't have the BALLS to be racist towards the people you "HATE" in person but can only do it on the Internet? Then WTF does that make you?

        Sorry not trying to here the "Racist" excuse used for these other fighters when Mayweather and Haymon has Pimped the Sport of Boxing out of a lot of money. Who racist is this Sport if Mayweather was able to step away from it almost a Billionaire?

            Agreed. People who post racist abuse on the internet are pathetic. Those who deny racism exists are water carriers for racists IMO.

                I went to the Golovkin-Lemieux fight in October. 21,000 people from everywhere, all over the world...kazaks, white americans, black americans, nicaraguans, puerto ricans, mexicans, hardcore fans, casuals, etc and everyone got along and had a good time. It is like that at pretty much every boxing event I've ever been to. If there is a fight, its just some drunk **** and nothing racist.

                    My Point Exactly!

                    So we have to ask where the racism is coming from, I only see on over the internet and that shouldn't even be taken serious. Anybody can do that!

                      Fact. Andrade was too dark for them.
