Comments Thread For: Ward Won't Play Up USA vs. Russia Angle for Sake of Promotion

He should have used that angle to promote the fight, it would have exposed how a lot of Americans would rather cheer for a foreigner than for a black man born in their own country.

Ohh yea the evil white USA, where the black man has no chance. I mean besides all the actors, musicians, comedians, athletes, who are all so famous and get paid tens of millions a year, and black doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, or people from any other domain, the black man does not stand a chance in the evil USA.

Where has all the support been for Native American boxers? What, are they not "brown skinned" enough?

I supported Comanche Boy and thought Joe Hipp was a tough, entertaining fighter.

But if either of them fought a white Eastern Euro you can bet that the usual suspects around here would be cheering for the foreigner over the American.

US vs Russia died out decades ago

Russia isn't as relevant anymore, and the US is quickly heading in the same direction

if ward was from the UK he would have a statue already.. american fans are terrible. period. for ward to be loved in america his last name has to be wardgovzki.

Lmaoooo some truth in that

I don't think it matters if he plays it up the Russia vs USA angle or not. It's still just Ward vs Kovalev when the fight starts.

Ain't you supposed to cheer for the guy you like as a fighter? What's with the mentality that you have to support someone just because theyre from the same place? I'm from the UK, I like alot of UK fighters, but I still supported Tyson over Lewis, and Pac over Hatton. It makes more sense as a boxing fan than just for politics.

Only idiots would pay to see Mayweather vs McGregor.

Do you think Mayweather would be McGregor in a MMA fight?

The same answer is do you think McGregor would beat Mayweather in boxing match?

When you're in business, you don't care if your customers are rocket scientists or idiots, as long as they are willing to pay the asking price! So the question is not whether Mayweather can win in MMA, or will McGregor win in boxing. The question is how many people are willing to pay to see it? I'm going to say at least 2 million!

Yeah because that narrative seems to have blown up in the faces of the libtard nation.

Yeah but you know how some dumbasses are. They feel some type of way if their nationality wins for some strange reason. I'm american but if Ward wins, who really cares? Does it fix the economy? Stop terrorism? Its just a boxing fight

When foreign fighters go into England the whole crowd is singing and chanting against them. They give the local boxer a real home field advantage.

And that happens regardless of whether the local boxer is black or white.

Here in America we can't get certain people to see the brown or black guy as one of their own. It's disgusting.
