Originally posted by Tweezy316 View PostMan look Floyd's skills and his mouth are his money maker. For years he waited for Bob Arum to properly promote him. And Bob just wasn't gettin the job done. Now Floyd promotes himself and everybody knows him. And hes makin more money than everybody. So what has he done wrong? People wanna see people talkin **** that's just the way it is. We saw pac and clottey kiss each other's asses and how did that work? Come on man people just look for reasons to hate Mayweather. They put liquor stores on every corner in black neighborhoods for a reason. They don't want us to be ****. And to see floyd succeed and talk **** pisses the man off. Which is why he doesn't get voted fighter of the decade or other awards. It damn sure ain't because manny is a better fighter than floyd that's just ******. In my experience it's always common for another race to say that racisim is over. Or blacks are playing the race card. It's easy to say something doesn't exist if you've never lived through it.
but keeping it boxing, fighter of the decade shouldve been for b-hop IMO.
but i admit, manny has UFC fans watching boxing again.... you might not care for those casual fans, but im sure floyd would appreciate their money.

Originally posted by Tweezy316 View PostI live in Iowa where blacks are few I still get followed when I walk into the store. Actin like they cleanin up and **** but its whatever. But basically Floyd is a young rich black man and that's talks a lot. That is a no no in this society. You can be black and successful but at the same time you have to bow down. And that is something floyd does not do. He keeps it real. And they can't handle that. But no matter what they say as long as floyd is true to himself and his people that's the only legacy that matters to me.

Originally posted by waxfondler View Postso youre the militant black man? conspiracy theories and everything right???? i see youre from iowa... sucks for you to be around racism. i agree, it STILL exists.... but im from south florida. please dont use the black race card.... because hispanics, asians, arabians, etc feel racism as well. you arent the only one feeling the struggle. DONT PLAY VICTIM. this is the classic case of passing off accountability... i grew up around jamaicans & puerto ricans, we ALL understood & felt racism... on the subject of racism, this forum is FULL of bigotry & prejudice aimed at manny & his country (countless attacks at his nation's poverty & culture)... but thats ok for you right???? its only racism if its aimed at black people???? dude, grow up and move out of iowa. move to a bigger city where its more racially diverse and you will see how far racial equality has come.

Yo Floyd got Hollywood, sports figures, dude is pimpin Chilli's reality show right now. Floyd is a big star. far bigger than Manny trust me. The Dancing with Stars thing was huge.
