    Leaked Interview: Top Rank MM said "Black fighters are too dangerous!"

    Dontae provides audio of Cameron Dunkin saying that behind close doors Top Rank has always talked about not putting their stars against certain black fighters.

    For example says that Arum was the one who made sure Pac never fought Floyd.

    Doesn't really seem like that hypothesis played out so well once the sport went international....

      black surely looks like hard and strong because of their body built. looks like a body of rock. but that doesn't seem to be always true. if you can see pac fought a lot of black guys but still defeating them.. but i don't know about arum avoiding pac from may.

      one thing is for sure.. clottey has a hard rock body. the only black i've seen eating punches but still didn't seem to be hurt.

        Read the comments on that video to get a "rough idea" of why idgaf about ***. (Dozens of blacks talking about being "gods chosen" and the "superior race")


        Anyway, I can belive Arum operated like that, the truth is back in his day (like 50 years ago) African American fighters were a lot better boxers.

        But the cultural decline of African American society, as well as the improvements made to coaching in other countries, as well as Eastern Europe entering professional boxing, means its not so anymore.

        Maybe Bob still thinks its like the 60s and 70s out here but it most certainly is not.

          Arum kept Pacquiao away from Floyd all along.

          We all knew this.

          He also kept Pacquiao away from Terence Crawford when they were both at Top Rank.

            Total lies. Floyd used about a dozen different excuses to keep ducking Pac for six years until Les Moonves forced the fight.

            Won't do business with Arum.
            Pac has two losses.
            Pac has to avenge his losses.
            Pac has to give blood.
            Pac has to give blood the day of the fight.
            Pac has to sign with Haymon and leave Arum.

            Obviously fraudweather is manipulating some fake news slander to try to frame Pac and Arum as the duckers when everyone with half a brain KNOWS floyd is the all time biggest duck in history, who even confessed twice on video he's a coward and he's ok with it.

              This been going on for a LONG LONG TIME

              Yes Promoters purposely make their fighters avoid certain styles absolutely! Golden Rule of a lot of Promoters is to avoid Slick Boxers because it is hard for their Prospects and Fighters to look good against so this is not revealing anything new

              Pacquiao former Promoter Murad Muhammad exposed this YEARS Ago about how he kept Pacquiao from certain styles

                  Against certain fighters. So match making then? Top Rank promotes many black fighters. They have made lots of match ups with black fighters. If you are saying they did not match their guys against black fighters who would win, no ****. Generally you want your guy to win.

                    Black ≠ slick

                    Unless your a cuckold.

                    If they be so scary and dangerous where the flying f**k are they?

                    Literally ranked in the top 10 in like 5 total weight classes including heavyweight, the participation trophy of weight classes.
                    And 154, the consolation prize of weight classes.

                    Its a matchup thing, he says this cause most eastern euros and brawler mexican mexicans are stiff plodders.
