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

[Sleepwalker]

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

Speak for yourself. Racist loser.

Here's one white pulling for Mayweather.

If you want a racial contest between then, ask them both to pull out their johnsons and get a measuring tape, we'll see how the racial stereotypes square up here.

Another white guy picking Mayweather here...

The lesser in society both white and black, the ones with the lower IQ levels,who blame others and do nothing themselves for the whole of society could very well see it only that way.

National / racial. Could be a touch closer to the truth though.
Because the Philippine people are proud as you can get and are all out for National pride.

They would laugh at others thoughts or wishes on siding them with Whites for the cause of further racial disharmony between fools who can only think in black and white mode.

As will all the normal thinking black folk and normal thinking white folk who do good for the whole of society and also any real boxing fans too and all races of people who work together in business and socially to bring us these events and a balance into society for the lazy blaming assed dumber ones who as you say will probably feel that way.

Your only racist if you dislike a boxer because of their skin colour.

I can see how many dislike floyd because of his wild ways and annoying nature but his race should have nothing to do with it.

Jones jr and floyd are two of my favorite boxers but I also like froch, khan and actually miss JC.

A pure sign of weakness is when any human being has to resort to race rather than just appreciating and following a preffered style of fighting.

I would choose floyd over anyone but on the flip side I would want success for froch over ward in a rematch and any of his future fights.

Wlad has a great personality and as much as I want a change in the heavyweight division..I have respected his long reign regardless of race.

[walrus]

I don't think so. Floyd probably has more white fans than black. The US loves great athletes regardless of color.

That's how it always was. But more than just white/vs.black.... but for minority Americans vs. foreign fighters, particularly fighters from developing countries like The Philippines. This angle is HUGE!

[Master]

Tremendous angle? I doubt it. The fight is huge and does not need the nonsense.

[Spicoli]

That seems pretty shortsighted. Any jackass wanting to see a fighter lose OR win strictly on race could care less about the sport.

I think the ugliest I've ever seen racism come into a fight was Larry Holmes vs Gerry Cooney. That was really ugly and hurtful and showed the worst that humans could be in sports. also adolf Hitler's racism towards Jesse Owens in the 36 Olympics in Berlin was beyond disgusting. Jack Johnson often also went thru a lot of death threats when he was heavyweight champ back in the early 19 hundreds

I always thought it was disheartening how Ali could bring racism into a fight even with two black fighters.

yes it was very hurtful the way he would go about calling his opponents Uncle Tom and other demeaning and insulting names
