Mayweather Jr Blast HBO

[uwey]

Mayweather is right, But I dont think it is a boxing problem, I think it is a society problem. Black fighter dont sell to those who bring the money to the sport. For what reason, It could be jealousy, people just tired of black fighters, A look for a great Non black HOPE. I see that in a fighter like Paul Williams. For some reason I dont think he is liked much in the mix of the WW division because he is a threat to the non black hopes. When Campbell beat Diaz was bad for the sport. I just think SOME Black athletes rub some people the wrong way with the arrogent attitudes. Sports is also a testimony to manhood and jealousy plays a big part. Let the man speak his peace because we live in the most ARROGENT country in the world.(USA) He is a product of his envornment. Most arrogent president,fighters, country in general. Hipocrits rule the Media, airways and all forms of this society. When 2 people of different colors do the same thing it is looked at differently. Solution is to be FAIR across the board. If u hate black arrogents but love other arrogents and see that as pride then the problem still remains. DONT BE HIPOCRITS.

I don't agree with this for the most part. Not that I think racism is dead and buried or anything, I'm sure it has a role to play in boxing as in any other facet of life, but I think most boxing fans (Royal aside) are fairly impartial when it comes to race. Nationalism runs rampant in boxing, but race seems to play a much lesser role, in my experience at least.

Many of the most popular boxers have been black, so being a racist boxing fan would be a tough road. A fighter doesn't have to be well-liked to have drawing power either, look how many people watched Ali hoping that he'd get beat, despite his popularity with the younger generation of boxing fans at the time. George Foreman, also black, has gone from a villainous bastard to one of the most beloved American fighters, much like Ali. Joe Louis is revered as well, and he competed in a time of rampant racial bias.

Another example would be Kelly Pavlik, he may be covered in hype these days, but that is more due to his exciting style and his willingness to fight anyone than him being white. Prior to the Miranda fight, few people outside of Youngstown though he had a prayer, and Miranda was by far the more popular fighter coming into that match, regardless of skin color. Following that brilliant performance by Pavlik, the hype machine began to roll, but before that he was just some overrated bald dude with a padded record in the eyes of many.

Campbell beating Diaz was bad for boxing (even though I loved watching it) because an aging veteran with little drawing power beat a young up-and-comer with a fairly large following and a great deal of hype. I also think any arrogant athelete rubs people the wrong way, regardless of color. I dislike guys like Roger Clemens or Kurt Schilling much more than I do Kobe Bryant (though I don't much like him either). People dislike most athletes who lack humility.
