  • I see everyone happy and asking for Roy. Wtf, Roy is punchy and awful. I’ll kiss Paulie but if he has to go, he needs to be replaced with TARVER!

    Comment


    • His mouth will likely always get him in trouble... specifically money trouble. Kinda dumb to blurt out mindless b.s. when he could've just refrained from commenting, told 'em to move on to the next question/issue. He just pizzedaway a big pile of cashish.

          Later suggested that Haney's promoter was afraid of him losing to a white fighter, and that he believed racial oppression doesn't exist in 2020 and that it's all made up.
          This is where it becomes BS, if you are talking about races in sport its referring to the labels as we are not all equal physically, some races are very dominant in certain areas, this is not racism this is discussing differences in athletes .

          This racism thing is so **** retentive, its only racism when its a put down or derogatory, when its a reference label its nothing.

          • I’m 100% against racism and what Malignaggi said is somewhat true. I would partially agree with him. I think Eastern European fighters are very well represented especially as technical boxers as well as power hitters. With Lomachenko, Beterbiev, Golovkin, Kovalev, Usyk, Bivol, Derevyanchenko, Breidis, etc.

            The reason I say partially is because it’s not true that African Americans time in boxing is over and that is the time for the Eastern Europeans. You have several weight classes that are dominated by African Americans for example 147-154. There are also top 10 African Americans in boxing than there is Eastern Europeans.

            Really just an ill-advised comment by Paulie because it’s only partially true and as an analyst you just can’t go around saying things that are partially false. Especially when it comes to race.

            Devin Haney is also a dumbass for making that comment. When Hopkins made similar comments, first, he was already a future HOF’er. Secondly the racial tensions at the time were not the same as they are now. Haney hasn’t even fought good fighter yet and Lomachenko most likely does whoop his ass right now. Haney also can’t seem to even crack an egg so I don’t know where he gets his confidence from. His boxing skills against lower level opponents?

                THATS the reason Paulie got canned.

                Wasn't because of the eastern european comment or his take on the devin haney statement.
                If Paulie said all that good riddance. He talks too much!

                  Well thats the whole point, there is NO CONSEQUENCES for what you say if youre not white. You can just say whatever.

                  I'm sure ALL 9 of you would

                  Yeah I would because thats what Men do. Seems like you have a weird fetish though buddy.

                  Ohhhh, so what you really mean to say is this:

                  Translation: If youre white and make the slightest offensive comments to black cry babies then say goodbye!

                  Though if youre devin haney and you say youll never lose to a whiteboy= Not a detriment to the company. Or if you're deontay wilder and you do black power militant ring walks= Not a detriment to the company, Perfectly fine! Gotta Love that black privilege!

                  • Can't believe they fired him for that. This is a crazy world we live in.

                    Said different groups have dominated boxing at different times. - I don't see anything wrong with that.

                    Said if a white person had said what Haney had said he'd get in more trouble. - Well the fact that he's been fired kind of backs that up.

                    Said racial oppression is exaggerated in America. - Well in America it is illegal to discriminate based on race and people have the same rights and freedoms regardless of race. He would be disrespecting his own country if he said his country was racially oppressive.

                    • Paulie self-destructed. This was a self-inflicting wound. All he had to do was apologize and this would have never made the news. He was too smug, proud and arrogant.
