That said does he have a point about he'd be bigger if he was white?

I genuinely (perhaps naively) think it makes no difference to us in the UK, dare I say it but a I feel we're a little more liberal than the US??!!

Stateside though race seems more of an issue. Do any of our US posters feel that should PBF have been white he would've been more of a household name?
I don't believe that! I think it's about his persona. I coming up blank about a white guy with Mayweather's persona.

Look at Ray Leonard and the like.... and also look at Obama. If the Character is there for people to like people they will like them. On the other side look at Look guys like (here's one) Brett Favre or Dennis Rodman, If the Character is there for people to hate, they will hate them.

Now, I do agree there is always going to be prejudice due to race, I think its only a contributing factor and the the primary reason.

He is always begging for attention and that just gets old fast!
