Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: If I Wasn't Black - I'd Get More U.S. Media Respect

[Travycat]

I don't believe (and I don't think he TRUTHFULLY believes) that it's a matter of the color of his skin for his media presence. It has to do with the level of opposition he's faced which is not his fault by any means, but his handlers/managers/promoters' faults. They've protected him at times and used up some valuable prime years of his while making him much smaller amounts of money and notoriety than he could've been making while risking that 0. I think he's an amazing boxer, athlete, father, and human being (because we're all human beings--just different shades which is cool, because different is always good!). When he gets these bigger fights that he most certainly has coming up, he will get his respect, win or lose, without a doubt.

Said it many times on here before, the career of DW has been mismanaged from the get-go...I know some people on here will disagree with me but I know 100% if Top Rank was promoting DW he would be regarded as a bigger 'star' to be going on 40 fights and 3 years as a WBC HW champ and has still never main evented on PPV or at MSG/Las Vegas has got nothing to do with race?...I love the fights , the color is the last thing I think about...I like to watch Spence, and Crawford, just as much as I like to watch GGG, and Canelo...I hope there is more African American fans on this site who think similar and believe DW is way out of line to speak like this

Personality and marketing is Key. Sometimes does have race involved but who has he really fought?

[Kiowhatta]

Wilder you're starting to sound like an insecure whiny victim; a petulant little child who's screaming 'I want people to respect me!'

All this does is the reverse. While race is an issue across the board, and a serious one, I don't believe for a microsecond it's an issue here.

Wilder needs to get himself a press agent and stop friggin tweeting trite every five minutes.

Further, like somebody already mentioned, PBC is rubbish at handling fighters and keeping them active. Wilder should detach himself from Al Haymon.

[craigus1990]

Sorry, but how is this acceptable to say? He is basically accusing the viewing public et al, that they are incapable of liking someone that isn't of their own race? I don't understand how saying something against an ethnic group/race is considered unacceptable, and this is considered acceptable? They are pretty much the same thing... he is essentially saying 'white people (i.e. the majority of the population in his home nation) don't like black people'..... that's not right.

[Flabble Scrote]

He is not right the whole world is racist in some sense - Fact if he had fought anyone or genuinely tried to make good fights with the other Belt Holders, his people would know and respect him and he has not simple.

Wilder is a low life this has nothing to do with race, this guy will retire undefeated - Loser

Horse****, Wilder is a good man , he's just trying to sell himself , but he comes from inbred dumb**** Roy Moore country, the most cretinous dribbling cousin ****ing state in USA
he's doing all this for his crippled daughter

LOL, this statement proves you aren't interested in real statistics and real solutions - you just are interested in race-baiting for your own benefit. The Feminists are the same way.

Go watch that interview with Floyd Mayweather Jr. on YouTube - I believe it's titled "Trump was only called a racist when he ran for president."

I'll be on the right side of history because race-baiting and victim-card playing has proven to only benefit ********** and women WHO HAVE MONEY. The rest are fked while people like you sit there and tell them "It's not your fault, you're oppressed and never had a chance - just give up and blame "systemic racism."

You are a prime example of the victim culture which is the real opium of the masses...

Good luck with it though - it sounds like you are at least feeling some internal pleasure from your warped view - but then again opium makes people feel good while the high lasts.

Unfortunately, I knew it wouldn't take long to undress u for the true racist u are at the core. Without fail, it only takes a little truth every single time.

The premise of self administered "Black victim mentality" is ALWAYS the reliable staple for a White Supremacist like yourself because it completely absolves a concerted racial system, that u love so much, of any blame.

It's a false narrative that oppressors use to maintain themselves in positions of power all while keeping attention diverted from the real hard truths. Now for you, clearly your not an oppressor because your too ****** to be one.

But unfortunately that won't stop a minion like yourself from aligning yourself with it's false narratives and propagating them for free any chance u get. What a befuddled pawn in the game u are.

Although I did check out the Floyd video u mentioned, I'm really not sure why u mentioned it. But if I were to guess, it's probably because Floyd is speaking for the same false narrative your on here promoting.

Floyd, while having an amazing career, is rich and out of touch like most rich people are to the plight of injustice. So how he helps your talking points I'll never know.

its been managed brilliantly, theyve managed to get a limited fighter on the verge of the 40-0 mark by swerving any real threat, yet people STILL dont blame wilder for it. Hes absolute dog**** and hes in the espn pound for pound top 10 lol.
