"Fair fights" aren't blacks known for sucker punching, and only fighting in gangs?

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostThat is not the reason. The reason is that boxing has become a PPV sport. Even HBO/Showtime regular fights are ppv because you have to pay a premium subscription to watch it. They've made boxing inaccessible to the casual fan. Bob is part of the problem. The UFC is easily accessible with reality TV shows, their Fox and FS1 cards. Then they have fightpass which is geared towards their younger tech savvy demographic.
Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostArum's business model has always been built towards Mexicans anyway. And how can he say that when one of his most beloved fighters is filipino? White people loved Pac.
Originally posted by GMAN SUPREME View PostNOPE.its not that complicated ufc is popular because in their sport the best fight the best.unlike boxing where fans have to deal bull**** like a side/b side and promoters who don't work together
Originally posted by Boxing Logic View PostThere are so many good black American boxers, and many black Americans live in a much more race-obsessed culture (see BLM),
Most white Americans aren't taught to have "white pride,"

Pacquiao will be remembered as an all-time great boxer. Floyd will be remembered as a WWE type businessman who ducked his greatest rival until he got old, and then in what was supposed to be his moment of triumph, got caught taking a saline flush, the purpose of which according to medical experts is to mask PED use. Floyd will be remembered as the Lance Armstrong of boxing.
Floyd's ranked near the top of damn near every P4P list on Earth. Just because you guys hate the guy doesn't change the fact that he beat 25 world champions and the first decade of his career, fought (and beat) everybody.
And also, Floyd's OLDER than Manny by 2 years, the whole "he ducked him till he got too old" excuse only works when the person is YOUNGER, like Canelo, who's ducking GGG until he gets old because Canelo's almost a decade younger.

White people predominantly watch NBA and NFL over MLB and those are black dominated leagues, that have a higher percentage of blacks than MLB does. Why? Those are more accessible sports.
The NBA has been hemorrhaging older White fans since the Jordan era. Young people are the ones making up the NBA's audience now.
MLB is the sport that has a predominantly older White audience.

"white pride" culture
I guess he forgot this country was built on white supremacy, off the backs and hands of indigenous, native and black Americans. we still have an active terrorist group (kkk), and many U.S. citizens are threatened when other ethnic groups like Mexicans, Africans, etc show any sort of pride or take any sort of stand, white America feels threatened and show their true colors.
Look at the Kapernick situation...the dude never said anything about white people and they lost their mind, burning jerseys, and condemning the man when he only said he just wants the country to practice what they preach for EVERYONE.
Black children in certain cities in certain states are not allowed to wear natural hair styles
other ethnic groups have to conform to European ideals, practices, clothing, hairstyles and he really said that America doesn't have a white pride country.

Originally posted by Marvlus Marv View PostHenry Cooper, John H Stracey, Charlie Magri, Ken Buchanan, Jim Watt, Barry McGuigan, Joe Calzaghe. That's just a few from the top of my head, not to mention the plethora of current world champions that are white and British. I'm not even listing continental euro fighters.
I hope that answers your rather stupid question, I thought.
Right now, in the US, the whole show fucking sucks.

Originally posted by therealpugilist View Postvideo wont play for some reason, I'll check it out
no one is blaming white people for all of life's problems, some whites refuse to acknowledge the issues they created and have should have some integrity....life isn't a fairy tale.
The black Americans I have met irl are nothing like that so I'm not sure where it comes from.Last edited by Weebler I; 09-01-2016, 08:25 PM.

Originally posted by BIGPOPPAPUMP View PostDuring a recent podcast interview, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum explained his reasons for believing that the UFC has a dominating edge over boxing when it comes to gaining the support of white American fans.

However, like he said, it's easier to see a kid getting behind a fighter of their own skin tone. There's nothing wrong with it. It's a fact of nature. There are white Americans in boxing here and there, but not very much. Pavlik, Mancini, Haugen, Morrison, Ward and a guy named Mason Menard are the few that have been involved in the past few decades. I'm not sure why, but I think the sport has gotten so global that America just can't claim dominance the way it did. UFC is still primarily American.

The UFC product is better than what boxing promoters offer. No surprise that Arum won't acknowledge that.
Competitive matches made most of the way down a card, fights get made not marinated and THE champion (instead of A champion) has to defend his title against legit highly ranked opposition.

It doesn't have anything to do with not having white American stars. We barely have any American stars. Our youth boxing programs stink. We haven't won a gold in 12 years. We use to dominate olympic boxing. Most all of are stars were born in the Olympics where the casual fan gets to know them. Until we can start winning golds again boxing will suffer in the US
