TBE: ''If I Was A White American Boxer...I'd Be A Multi-Billionaire'' - do you agree?

[Lester Tutor]

Do you guys agree? If Floyd was able to do $800mill, I'd say at most perhaps 2.4 billion net worth tops. Being who you are and the circumstances involved is what made PBF a legend. Not sure it'd be the same. In fact, Floyd could've probably lost. There's a certain dynamism given the circumstances. Goes back to the Tom "The Moor" Molineaux aka the Black Ajax to Jack Johnson etc...

What you guys think

Well, it's been the opposite lately. pop culture seems to be defined in large part by black culture.

Being black was really trendy, especially while ***** was in office. You seem to have a leg up if you were black and did just about anything meaningful. I think floyds full of ****!!!

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

naw cause if you was white you wouldnt have been hated as much.

Only if he was American, the Eastern European/Soviet boxers have all been financial B side guys. Shoot Wlad was the most dominant champion since Louis and was blocked from American air waves for a few years......

hahaha it' so obvious too. It's like the hush hush of the boxing world. Americans are easier to promote, it's a fact. I mean, a foreigner can be perma b side under haymons watch

^This, especially being a straight white male with a history of women beating he would be buried and destroyed.

What is it with this guy blaming everything on him being black.

Neither did Pavlik, and he was the lineal middleweight champion and an exciting fighter.

It's not about skin color, it's how you sell yourself outside of the ring. That's why Mayweather and Broner are two of the most talked about fighters outside of the ring. They talk ****. Ricardo Mayorga still gets talked about today because he talks ****. To be a popular fighter, you have to talk ****. Connor McGregor is another great example. He talks a lot of ****. Fans want to hear you talk **** and then they'll tune in to see if you can back it up.

If he wasn't an idiot with his money he'd be a multi-billionaire.
