There will be a tremendous racial angle regards to Mayweather/Pac

[beenKOed]

Pacquaio being of Asian descent doesn't much matter in this case. There is going to be a tremendous racial divide when this fight approaches. Whites for Pac, Blacks for Floyd. There is a segment of White Americans who would love to see Floyd "get his cocky black ass knocked out". On the flip side, the brothers will back Floyd because he is black and would love nothing more than to stick to white people. Just watch

Get your head out of your ass! This fight is about two elite fighters. This fight has a life of its own and is doing very well on it's own, let's keep race out of it.

Why does racism have to be involved in a prize fight?? It is a contest between two fighter to determine which is the better man. Hopefully, though that is not always the case, the better man gets the win. The color of his skin or nationality should not be a factor.
The only race that should be considered is the HUMAN RACE!!!!!

Just a moment before you condemn Muhammad Ali & call him racist put yourself in his position for a minute. He went to Rome in 1960 & came back with an Olympic gold medal . He was a hero. He was invited to the White House & had dinner with the President of the United States. What an honor.
Few days later he tries to get service in a diner in Louisville KY & is refused due solely to the color of his skin. Who was being racist in this situation? Can you honestly say that it wouldn't have made you feel exactly the way he did Ali said " The President invited me into his home to dine. These people refused me entry & to dine with them because of the color of my skin". Who were the racists?

What a self revealing thread The fight wont have any "angle" of race whatsoever. It's a black American vs a Filipino, now of course most people who identify as one of those are likely to back their guy(shamefully), but outside of that I'd bet it's extremely split down the middle and for good reason. I think Floyd will win but have no investment in the outcome, I'd love to see him lose and just hope for a great fight.

I'm not in America , so I don't have the whole picture on it, but I don't see much White Guy - Black Guy racism aimed at Floyd. A lot of people hate him, but it's because he's a prick basically. And maybe some of "the Brothers" love that because it's one in the eye for the White Guy. that's about as far as it goes racially.
Other people can't stand him, solely because of his style , but they should remember that Floyd has been around a long time, and he hasn't always been this "defence minded win on points" merchant.
Regardless of any of that, the guy warrants respect for what he has achieved whether you like him or not.
