Indeed sir, it's just ridiculous. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a great boxer, a ring general, defensive master we've not seen since Pernell Whittaker, and yes his attitude between fights/at promotional events is brazen, brash, and unapologetic. Manny Pacquiao is a juggernaut, power in both hands, a great fighting spirit, willing to fight anyone, not worried only about his record as he's been in the professional game for so long he has had a few losses.

These fighters deserve to be talked about on the merits of their skills in the RING not the melanin content of their skin! A pox to you who wish Mayweather Jr to lose simply because of his skin color, and likewise to those who wish the same due to Pacquiao's skin color.

I'm not a fan of either fighter, I've followed both, but all I want to see is a good boxing event I could give 2 shits about who wins or loses, I just want an epic fight, I want the fight to be worthy of the hype that surrounds it!

I haven't seen anything to indicate a "tremendous racial angle" for this fight. The only time we see racizm enter into the picture is when the media pays attention to racist attention grabbing hor's trying to make something that has potential, into a racizm subject. Usually by siding with a victim of a crime. The motivation of those select few is simply to generate $$$ to fuel thier own political agendas rather than to fix a red-hearing of so-called problem with society. The theme of the day has been police organizations. The theme of this fight is money, so how a racist is going to spin it into racially motivated battle of fans backing black against white. The biggest demographic watching this fight will more than likely be Mexica-Americans which btw is Floyd's insistence for haivng the fight on May 2nd. Two traditions for in the US for Cinco-de-mayo day is beer and boxing. It gets plastered all over the bars like the october fest in-order to sell more beer. I couldn't tell you what cino-de-mayo is in Mexico, because I've never assumiluated with the culture. When I look at youtube, most of the people who post stuff about wanting Floyd to lose are black, rather than white. It might be because they are afraid to post, I don't know.
