Anyone notice that you never see a minority as a ring announcer?

    Michael Buffer or Jimmy Lennon Jr. are present for basically ever fairly major fight out there. Therefore, most boxing fans who do not regularly attend small cards could not even name another Ring announcer.

      dude, your just looking for something to complain about.

      Keep on about ring announcers, its really meaningless, what color they are.

      Maybe I should start a thread complaining that I was never weighed in by a hispanic before. Always white or black people. Those hispanics are really put to the side when it comes to weighing people in. I mean, I was weighed in over 70 times and never had a guy that I could say amigo to and feel right about it. What gives, has anybody else noticed this?

      Rockin'

          Wait a minute, thats right!!! I have never been weighed in by a spanish guy either???!!!? Rock'N, lets hook up a march or something and complain to a whole bunch of people. This is REALLY wrong, man. I am not going to have any of my boxers fight on any shows that dont have at least one spanish speaking person doing the weigh-ins. You with me?? We will not stand for this. I also, while I am at it, have never been served at McDonalds by anybody from Japan. Whats up MICKEY D?? You dont like japanese speaking people? Thats it! No more hamburgers for me.

          PS- Henry "Discombobulating" Jones from D.C. is a black announcer.

              LOL Scully!!!

              We could initiate the march for the kinder and ethical employment of spanish weigh-in guys. Right now its the 2 man march. I am sure that if we put out lots of advertising and word of mouth that we could get it up to a 3 or 4 man march. It will be powerfull and meaningfull, in breaking the segregation of the weigh-in guy!!!!!

              Im with you Scully!

                  I never offer to buy a ticket for anyone. Besides, just last week my mom made me promise to stop slapping ******s. Therefore my business with you is finished.

                    OK, let's hook it up. I will stop all that I am doing and pack a lunch because this march will off the chain, man!! Never again will a spanish speaking individual NOT weigh in a boxer. Thi shas gone on too long. Edward James Olmos has already committed to walking withus. He said he wil come with one stipulation: He wants us to stop off at every McDonalds and find all these japanese owners that are running the MCNugget world as we know it.

                      Maybe you didn't offer to buy the guy a plane ticket, but when you got aggrevated, your primitive ignorance was revealed when you said 'want to meet up and fight somewhere?' to the guy in the thunderdome.

                      Before you said that, I didn't mind you...but after I heard that, I knew you had issues. You threatened what appeared to be a little kid on a boxing forum because he told you that you were full of ****. Anyone who would do something like that, and take such offense about things on a forum to the point of 'lets meet up and fight somewhere', is a poser in my book.

                      And you are a poser, but you were exposed and that's why you ref fights now, right?

                      Right.
