That's probably due to media hype? There are a few black top P4P fighters that the black communities could cheer for instead.
No, it's because he's good-looking, cocky, incredibly athletic & he wins. I mean you can't tell a community who they should be liking. Shane Mosley had plenty of media hype at one-time, he never won over the black community in the way Floyd or Roy did.

It's like saying all the Mexican fans rooting for Canelo or JCC Jr should root for Humberto Soto or Fernando Montiel instead, they're not going to like who someone else tells them too, they'll go for the person who engages them.
