Mayweather Jr: "Emanuel Steward is an Uncle Tom"

[jrosales13]

You are totally insane if you think more black people like "pac" than "money may"....and yes "oscar" was the great white hope. And "pac" is the current "great white hope" in "whites" hatred towards mexicans.
The only difference is "oscar" lost to all the great black fighters and you "mexicans" dropped the ball against the current "great white hope".
Hence the love for "pac" and the hatred for "money may".
In closing, your true hatred for "money may" is because you wished he would have stayed retired, instead of coming back and raining on your ill-conceived P4P "pac" parade.
You tell me how in the world can a "claim" for P4P be stated,without fighting a "great" african american fighter? When we ALL know the greatest fighters ever recorded were "african american"...
Thank you money may for keeping it REAL.

How can anybody claim to be P4P best. Without facing a serious challenge for the last 6yrs now?

Also, the NBA's top 10 salaries belong to black players and only 2 out of the top 20 are white. On every position the highest paid player is black. Just saying...

Pretty Gay and ****ye West belong to each other.

What Floyd has to realize it that the public's dislike for him has nothing to do with his skin color. They dislike him because he's a jerk off. Plain and simple. If Oscar went around throwing money at the camera, calling himself "Money" Oscar and saying he deserves to live like a king, people would hate him just as much. Oscar who has MORE money than Mayweather is humble about his fortune. He does not brag about it. In this economy today, people don't need to see some punk bragging how "his **** is paid for" Something that the IRS and car dealers seem to disagree with...... LOL Floyd, trust me when I say, you are not bigger than the sport. Boxing does not need you and as a matter of fact most fans can't wait to get rid of you.

Oscar ain't humble that is just a little act he plays for the cameras. Dude is fake. I don't hate Floyd but I am not a fan of his. And, I really don't mind Floyds acts. Even though I disagree. Ray Leonard was black and beloved so what the hell is he talking about? The reason I am not a fan is that he cherry picks, he hasn't fouht a threat in 6yrs, and it bugs me that he does not seem eager in fighting any big threats. Thats the problem I have with him. The money may persona. He being a liar and douchebag I am ok with. But, him not giving the fights that the fans want is a problem.

They werent perceived as threats once he tore them apart. Monday morning quarterbacks are numerous.

white athletes can't compete. thats why they created that peace of garbage UFC so they can stand there and hit each other. atleast they have something of there own so they can feel important again about sports. i am tired about hearing white people commit suicide eveytime something goes wrong.

I have always said most of Floyd's hate was because he was black. I have come to the realization that most of Floyd haters were white or Hispanics. It all makes sense

[Picozo]

Say what you like but had floyd not played the ****y villan he would not have gotten 1/5 of the attention or money. Floyd i tip my hat to you. Keep kicking ass, being a rebel while laughing to the bank. When its all said and done floyd will remember as one of the greatest technician s in boxing history.

make that a broke ass hated technician..but you are right he will be remembered?

Tigers Woods is the highest paid athlete in the world. Show me who is white and makes more than him as an athlete.

To name others, Jordan, while retired, still makes more. While has active, he was the best and made more than anyone in the league. Name me his white counterpart to that.


Kobe, labron, ...

Shogun,

The guys you've named are iconic. For sure. It is also not a coincidence that their ties to the black community is tenuous, at best. I have repeatedly heard criticism of both jordan and Tiger for not being engaged in black causes, So, in a sense, they have had to 'sell out" to achieve that level of success. I am not a black american, so i hope I'm not speaking out of turn here.

I am not defending any post or position, but i would like to provide some context here. Cool?

Take David Beckham, for example. What did he make last year? USD$60 Mn, I would guess. He is nowhere near the best footballer in the world.

Maria Sharapova was ranked what? #20? She made a ton of money. Kournikova never won a tournament , yet was consistently the highest earning tennis player. Now, it's clear that Becks, Maria and Anna made the money based on their physical appeal. But some people may argue that you have to conform to some Nordic ideal to get those big endorsements, and that is a form of racism (or looks-ism) in and of itself.

Blacks represent 13% of America. Hispanics another 13%. So the roughly 3/4ths of America that is white will usually dictate how the corporations market to that vast majority.

There is racism. That shouldn't surprise anyone. I don't think that it's necessarily active as Floyd describes. It is more institutionalized.

Floyd, however, can't complain. Back in the late 90's, Arum and Delahoya wanted to groom him to have that SRL-type appeal. They wanted to exploit his talent, good looks, and nice smile to appeal to mainstream America. He opted not to. He chose the "black hat".

....now he has to live with it.

None of his fights for the past 6yrs in the eyes of the the boxing public. Were threats going into those bouts. Nobody gave Sosa, Ndou Corley, Bruseles, Gatti, Michell, Judah, or Baldomir a shot at winning. Evereybody know Oscar who doesn not win big fights who has never beaten a top level African-American fighter, And who was 6yrs passed his prime was going to beat a prime Floyd. The only people who gave Hatton a chance was Hatton fans and Mayweather haters. But, any unbiased fan and boxing experts gave Hatton a slim to zero chance. There was never a threat there going in. And, deep down you know that.
