Promoters over here like to create race wars, Cooney Vs Holmes was a marketing success (Great White Hope) for some reason they like to think that the Irish represent that great white hope (I have no clue why), they made a movie about it (Damon Wayans) I forgot the name but it was funny, they put Irish T-shirts on him with the flag even though he was not irish.
