Institutional Racism In Boxing

[CaneloMaidana]

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?

I agree and I disagree. I'll go to Spence fights in Dallas and see Black, White, Mexican and Asian going crazy for him and I only see the racism on the net.

That said I do believe if you look at who is on HBO it's clear they have no interest in Black viewers. Larry Merchant and Lampley ran off more Black fans than you could imagine. They would attack Black fighters non stop. And yes I believe Golovkin fandom is based on race.

Don't you dare abuse me. Racism exists whether people like you want to admit it or not.

The only racism in boxing is geared towards Tyson Fury. Everybody else is just making it up. On Fury experiences racism

Boxing is the most racist sport in America.

The wealthiest boxers are all white protestant men. The boxing authorities are racist bigots and this is why non-wasps can't succeed.

Boxing as a whole plays into most stereotypes. Most black boxers are promoted as loudmouth show offs. A white boxer is promoted as a humble every day man. A Mexican boxer is promoted as a macho warrior. For the most part promoters and the networks to a lesser extent play into these stereotypes. Some fans react negatively to what they're being fed and the result is, a lot of the BS you see on the internet. A promoter/manager is going to make money off a boxer regardless if he's black, white, or purple. I don't call the racism I call that business.

HBO hates Black people. We all know that.

You're an idiot we all know that.

I would like to know your opinions on if there is institutional racism in boxing. If so, how does it manifest itself and can you provide some examples?

It is alleged that Bob Arum once said, "We will let the Blacks and the Latinos fight in the ring and we will count the money on the outside".

Hmmm okay, then how about turn away and block out the monopoly African-American fighters and Latino's have on boxing. Then they wouldn't be poor, defenseless, victims anymore by the white man. What's the alternative, I mean really? You do realize these fat cats are largely Latin Americans who run the sanctioning bodies, right? Latino's and Blacks have made exponentially more money in boxing then whites boxers ever had or will.
