Coincidence much?! Lol

Showtime stands at the mercy of the LDBC affiliated channels comprising of 500k followers. They spammed YouTube for Paulie to leave or they wouldn’t support Showtime PPv. The LDBC leaders gets exclusive Wilder Interviews. Remember Wilder shut down Paulie associated to Showtime.

500k followed x $74.99 PPV

Do the maths guys...

Pauli’s said nothing that warranted him being fired. He was just speaking his truth.

Agree with him or not, this is getting ridiculous. People should be allowed to Speak their mind.

The top 3-5 fighters in the world aren’t black, what’s wrong wit his statement?

USYK, Loma, Canelo are Leagues ahead of Any fighter in the sport. Neither is American pie white as well. It’s all Bs and agendas.

I totally agree with you about people being able to speak their mind but there are also consequences if you say something race related that alienates or criticizes someone based on race. That's just reality. You can run your mouth all day but once you start saying one race is superior to another one, a big network like CBS is going to eliminate you from their staff.

I don't agree with your assessment about the top 3-5 fighters in the world not being black. That kind of statement is pure opinion and nowhere near being a fact. Bud Crawford dominated lightweight and junior welterweight and is now a welterweight. Usyk, who I really like, dominated cruiserweight and hasn't done anything at heavyweight yet he's clearly higher on the P4P list than Bud?
I don't think so.
Canelo is a proven cheater who although he has accomplished a hell of a lot as a pro, there should be an asterix permanently next to his name because he was juiced for the bulk of his best wins and he waited until his best competition was old to fight them. I don't care how many weights he's fought in given his use of clenbuterol which was egregious and is used to cut weight and retain muscle mass. This is obviously how he was able to get down to ridiculous catchweights and rehydrate 2 to 3 weight classes above his opponents. Again, my opinion is that Canelo is NOT #1 P4P and that can certainly be argued but I believe there are legitimate points, such as the ones I mentioned, that support this opinion.

boxing has been mainly immune to sht like this. boxers have more freedom to say whatever they feel than athletes in any other sport. Paulie has been saying crazy sht for decades. matter fact it is his big fckn mouth that got him hired by Showtime. this is rare for a boxer to get struck down over comments.

a great replacement would be Ward.

Andre Ward can articulate the subtleties of the sport almost as good as Paulie.

[Robi13]

That’s what his dumb ass gets, I knew his mouth would get him in trouble sooner or later... good riddance I won’t miss Pauline one bit he can kiss my ass

[Combosnkos]

Paulie was awesome. **** showtime for sucking *** nuts. Not every little thing is racist. People are entitled to their opinion without being racist no matter what crybaby/*********s *** says

[kidbazooka]

It’s comical you can see how divided this ****t is lol

All the white dudes here for the most part are like “ man this is not cool racism don’t exist no more man fucck *** give me my confederate flag man”!lol

Then all the non white folks “yea that’s ****t was wrong dude has been a proven racist for years he got what he deserved”

Funny ****tt!!!!

I'm not surprised by this. Saying the "Eastern European is the dominant species ...." is full-on reminiscent of the 1930s and 1940s. Anyone who doesn't see that is blind. With that being said, the delayed reaction by Showtimes is funny.They should have said something about this months ago. Looks as if its not integrity that sways them but losing money—as always.

I think Paulie should have said that: Anyone who steps in the ring can lose to anyone. And with a mixture of people from all over the world, it's very possibly for Haney to lose to any person of any color of skin. It goes without having to be said.

Anyway, when I heard it from Paulie, I took it as a "tongue in cheek" comment. He should have apologized because I enjoyed his commentary the most

I think the issue is saying racism doesn’t exist in the country. Nothing else he said was offensive. Sucks he lost his job.

[Luilun]

So get fired for telling the truth

Well, if that's the case, then I have to wonder when this occurred? I mean, if he said this pre-George Floyd, it might not have been such an issue. It's not true, of course. But it's not an overt racial comment. If it happened post-George Floyd, and I don't believe it did (someone correct me), then it certainly can be viewed as an antagonist/trolling comment.
