Comments Thread For: Mayweather Claims Conspiracy To Create a White Star

[SouthPawHitman]

TBE is my boy and all but let's be real the man is just not very smart. Andre Ward is Irish and black. The people who don't like Ward are more anti Irish than anti black. Then he says Ward shouldn't move up in weight but GGG should. That don't make no god damn cents.

And Manny ain't white. He's from ****ing Thailand.

He's the biggest draw in the history of the sport and was great at making money but the man is an illiterate dwarf. That's just the facts.

TBE has been my favorite fighter in the last 20 years BTW so I'm not hating on anyway I'm just keeping it 💯.

You left out Crawford, maybe it just happens to be that White Eurasian fighters are fighting more than Black Americans?

So basically you have a problem that white or non black fighters are getting more shine?

Why should it matter? unless you are racist yourself and think that way.

I dont see a single agenda, when Haymon was with HBO they pushed Andre Berto , Adrien Broner to us and Deontay Wilder. HBO pushed Jermain Taylor, Thurman, and other blackfighters that were in Haymons stable.

Also you are speaking BULL, Eminem is a rapper, this is boxing, no White fighter has EVER made as much money as black fighters, the highest paid fighters have always been black.

Your right ,I left out Crawford my bad. You really believe that they happen to fight more often, Thats the way HBO set it up for these fighters to be highlighted

I don't have a problem with how HBO is doing business if it's a decent fight I'll watch, I'm just stating my opinion on the matter. I also think Haymon has a preference in Black American fighters

Im a fan of GGG & Loma , Respect Nelo but always root against him and don't like KOv but still watch his fights for me color isn't a big deal but for some it is and it's easier for them to get behind a white or light skinned fighter.


The Eminem sentence is spot on it's been like this for the last 60 years. White artists doing black music is more palatable to the public. I don't give a f.uck if you agree or not it's the way it is.

White American fighters haven't made as much $ because they aren't as good. To be a cross over star in boxing you need elite skills and the right persona can you name 1 elite skilled white fighter from the states in the last 30 years? Its not economics People of color are better athletes.

Yup , racism is as dumb as advertised , as its mostly predicated on skin tones , lol

For sure light skinned people are easier to sell to the public, Light skinned is sold to the public even in countries where it's predominantly dark skinned .

I think with Kov, GGG and Loma it wasn't color so much as it was cheap labor. If either of them were American, they'd expect to be paid much more for the ratings they get.

If HBO can get 1.3 mil people to watch on a Saturday night, its better for them to pay the main draw $1 mil than it is $2 mil. That is just smart business.

Really good point as usual and agree with it that cost was a definite factor but also think skin tone was another factor on who HBO decided to ride into the future with

Meanwhile in the news:

Russia could face athletics ban after doping report scandal!!!

... another example on how 'conspiracy' conspires to create 'white stars'...

I don't know that seems to be political. It just so happens Russia decides to roll with Syria and give the middle finger to the States and with in a week A Russian plane blows up and a huge Doping scandal.

Coincidence Probably not

Because of brainwash and propoganda...

I'd argue that Floyd intentionally stopped KO-ing fighters that he very well could have (ie The Ghost and others) because to him he saw it more marketable to his bottom line to decision u over 12. Just one of the many nuances that Floyd could see that others cannot

Ive heard it all now

Looking at some of the moves HBO has made-banning Haymon, firing Kerry Davis, employing Larry Merchant, someone who almost always finds himself at odds with outspoken black champions etc- I completely understand anyone that thinks race was a motivating factor.

IMO it was money.

I think non American fighters tend to work for less than Americans do. I think if you can get the same ratings a RJJ, Floyd or Ward can get at a fraction of the cost-you have to make that move.

I would.

Lol, but had Hopkins won, which was expected, there would have been no mention of his age. It fact, it would have been like a Pavlik moment. It's a two edged sword my friend. The Klitschko's have repeatedly beaten the brakes off black fighters for decades now and that's why black-America doesn't embrace them as the kings of the glamour division.

Now tell me I'm lying. It's sour g****s because of times slightly changing.

That goes back to my gold miner comment. It's saturation of the market. There's a lot of former Russians boxing now and it shows.

Hopkins wasn't expected to win, and there would be an whole lot of mention of how a 50 yr old man beat the "most feared" guy in the division.

The Klitchko's don't get hate over here or anywhere else. They were fighting in the worst version of the HW division in decades, that's why they get no shine here. That and the fights are expected to go the way that they do, there is no expectation of challenge.

Kovlev is the only Russian. There isn't a real saturation because he,ggg, and loma are the only ones doing big things. Kov isn't even the most known in his division, that's Stevenson. Loma is FW, no one cares (even though fw is deep and loma is arguably the best), and ggg is in the worst division in boxing. Postol has a chance to be the greatest of being dominant in a division that matters.

I missed that gem lol. Unreal.

I don't know how to green K but you deserve it. Between this and the World Cup scandal it seems like every mega event that Russia is involved in has been politicized.

Floyd didnt want to take any shots to the head because if he got any dumber he would be a potato.
