        Was brave until he made millions. How much did he make for the Pac fight?

So long as you don’t hate a fighter because of their race or ethnicity.
            You answered that perfectly.On to the next thread.

                  i always root for blacks against mexicans. black vs white is 50/50 depending on which fighter i think has better morals.
                  always root for anyone vs mexicans basically, usually because they are nationalistic and racist af and get away with it.

                      I dont view boxing at all from any racial standpoint ever . I've had all sorts of favorite fighters that I've followed for years all from differnt races and backgrounds . For me it has nothing to do with the sport . HOWEVER boxing has had a racial undertone since its gloved beginnings in the late 1800s and before . I think its ****ed and I dont agree with it whatsoever but it has been present in the sport for 130 plus years unfortunately , so its nothing new. I think its totally acceptable to cheer on your countryman tho . Nationality is totally fine imo
