Glad to hear that. It's about time! Rebel! He's has a point really. Interestingly the first 2 people to reply to this thread are among the most racist of all in this forums.

Jeff Lacy has lost to a white fighter. Everyone knows blacks are ok if they lose to white fighters.
But some of it is to blame on Mayweather himself for being too frail, for exposing his family, the strength of a person comes from his family and he was talking about his dad and mom on national tv. He was too flashy and he talked too much ****, that didn't help.
Yet it is true the HBO crew are racist as are almost all of boxing's major outside-the-ring players. Specially towards black fighters.
Pavlik is a very good fighter and very likable. But don't be fooled, if he was a black fighter he would be constantly pressed to the next then the next then the next challenge (until he loses to a white guy, then he's ok) instead of being praised like Kelly is, even if he is a nice guy.
Also black fighters that play nice get an horrible treatment, look at Shane Mosley, he was a awesome fighter in his prime, now he's a stepping stone for the likes of Cotto (but he's ok since he's not on top) and he's already 36. When people talk of him they say "who's next for Shane Mosley" while at the same time the white fighters go "One more and then retirement" PEACE, they are not disturbed, nobody is asking them the tough questions.
None of this is new.

That is so ****ing pathetic. People liked Lacy even more before he lost. I'm sure you'll spin that conveniently. Mosley is treated like boxing royalty by HBO. Stop with the crocodile tears.

Some excerpts from two new mlive articles:



"Even a guy like Jim Lampley, he praises Kelly Pavlik -- who has won some good fights, he beat Jermain Taylor twice, we have to give him credit for that -- but they talk about Kelly Pavlik, a white fighter, like he's the second coming Or they go crazy over Manny Pacquiao. But I'm a black fighter," Mayweather said. "Is it racial? Absolutely. They praise white fighters, they praise Hispanic fighters, whatever. But black fighters, they never praise.

"I've noticed it for a long time but I couldn't say anything because I had to do business with them. I'll still do business with them, but I'm done holding my tongue. I think HBO is great. But their announcers are full of (expletive)."


Mayweather criticized the network's announcers for a bias against black fighters, and for not treating their own indiscretions as seriously as those committed by people they cover, during an exclusive interview with The Press.

"Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant, Emanuel Steward, they're always talking about the negative things in my life," Mayweather said. "But I've seen Jim Lampley in the same strip club as me before. They always want to talk about me going to strip clubs, but they don't want to talk about that.

"He caught a court case himself, too. But when they catch a case, all they do is take them off the air a couple weeks, then it's over."

LMAO damn did he have to expose Lamps like that?

Bull****, they are fake bastards. Don't act like you don't know.

Shane must be very depressed with the millions of dollars he's made from HBO. And of course they are fake, everyone in TV is. That doesn't make them racist, and you brought no evidence to prove otherwise.
