Where does the bias start?

[KingHippo]

It all starts with Al Haymon. The idea of a black man being the most powerful man in boxing is something a lot of people will never be able to accept.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Most of it is race and nationality.

Jax, stop playing yourself out too, you one of them "fans" that go against the truth.

Whatever mate you don't read the post you quote or your own response as is obvious by your continuous drivel.

[KillaMane26]

It all comes from the PBC fan gimps. They dont realise you can be pro something with out being anti something else. But they are a bunch of haters mud slinging at anything not PBC.

Lol u apart of the problem blaming one side. When it goes both ways. Smfh

[KillaMane26]

Lol if I remember correctly many hood**** here were predicting the downfall of GBP when Schaefer left, yet he is still going strong and has the cash cow and face of boxing in his stable. Haymon is nothing more than a hoodlum and a thug.

Why yall white guys never say anything when shyt like this get posted??

Only when sumbody get offended huh

[ruedboy]

Good question! No doubt it starts at birth.

[Articulateboxin]

It's just an extension of fighter bias.

Fighters are represented by promoters and particular networks who push their abilities, thus the fans loyalties to a fighter are extended to their promoter.

I suppose that's the most logical explanation and perhaps there isn't even 1 single reason, more so lots of different factors.

I feel quite lucky in that I watch most fights as an objective neutral, the rare times I do have a vested interest, I get nervous as heck However my liking a fighter has never extended to their promoter. I love watching both Wilder and AJ and providing they're not publicly unhappy with their situations (I didn't like seeing tank so openly upset with his position as an example), I couldn't care less who's promoting them! Least of all spending my finite time on this planet, shredding a rival's promoter and/or broadcaster!

Boxing from an objective fans position, is honestly the most amazing thing to watch and I still get so freaking excited as the weekends approach

Jax, I'm here just exposing all the haters so don't be mad I'm shining light on you too

[R-Hand Southpaw]

I've only been on these forums for a month or so but I can't understand the insane bias and side picking between promoters and broadcasters. Fighter bias I can understand, you like a guy and their personality, their style etc. However this cult like loyalty to broadcasters makes no sense to me.

I see so many posts shredding A or B and then C. They are all in the boxing business, they are all (at some point) providing quality and interesting match ups. Why let your mind dictate that you pick a side? Don't let your brain trick you out of enjoying twice or even three times as much boxing.

Who didn't love Prograis vs Taylor on DAZN? Who didn't find themselves glued to the screen with Spence vs Porter on PBC?

I've been reading about boxing on my lunch breaks and watching boxing most weekends for 10+ years now and I absolutely love the sport. Seeing it this healthy makes me feel fortunate as heck! I signed up to chat some boxing, but so many of the posts are just vendetta and agenda nonsense about broadcasters.

Its race.

Look at that piece if **** J. Razor quoting everyone. Dude wants to talk like hes woke but honestly hes just a dumb piece if **** who thinks hes entitled to an opinion.

Oh, if a black guy doest have the exact same opportunity as a white guy then cry a ****ing river. It must be only because of their skin color blah blah blah.

Why do people like GGG and support him and not a black man like Deontay Wilder! Racists! Lmfao. That's how pathetic their little minds think.

Maybe people dont like Deontay wilder because he acts like a ****ing thug. Dude walks around talking about killing people in the ring. Dude has a big ass mouth and talks non sense. Dude has legit ZERO boxing skills. Only pro? Dude got legit one punch power.

Maybe casual fans like seeing **** like that but personally I like the technical part. The finesse. GGG is a big puncher but his style isnt the same as Wilder. Wilder those the same combo over and over relying on his god given size and traits. GGG is relentless. Has a granite chin and ha good power. Outside the ring hes a professional and all around "nice guy".

Then when GGG fights Canelo the black and Mexicans can put their issues aside and come together against a mutual enemy right? The white man. Its ****ing pathetic.

[The Big Dunn]

From what I remember it was the same posters that are typically pro PBC fighters saying how they wouldn't buy DAZN no matter what and creating threads of how bad it is for boxing, it shouldn't be on an app because they can't figure it out, no one will watch it, it's doomed to fall etc.

All whilst shilling how good value showtime/Fox PPV's are such as Spence Garcia where every fight was a mismatch.

I don't know how you didn't notice this unless you chose not to.

Stop it. Yes, posters had discussions about the possible pro and cons of the app, same as they did with espn. That happens with every new service and it wasn't limited to "posters that are typically pro PBC fighters". The major complaints started when they had the 1st major broadcast, the Canelo fight, and the broadcast ******.

No matter when it started, there is no way you can pretend the hate for Haymon wasn't far longer and more intense.
