Didn't I tell u it's bigger than Floyd
There have been Black athletes before who have done some fukked up things off the field/court and people ignored it because they were simply seen as nice guys. And the opposite happens as well (see: Starbury). The American audience is pretty simple, and therefore the American media is extremely basic as well, so this is what you get.I'd say about 40% of Black people root for other Black people, and I think I'm being generous.
How do you duck a made up test?
Floyd is Hip-Hop, them other dudes aren't. And this is a Hip-Hop website afterall.ill never understand why floyd of all fighters is picked as the representation of all black fighters and black race when his fights come up...yet not one bit of this bullshyt is mentioned for any other black fighters when they fight..thats why i give it the
Floyd is Hip-Hop, them other dudes aren't. And this is a Hip-Hop website afterall.
That's why I don't pay these nikkas any mind. They talk about supporting Black fighters, yet Floyd the only Black fighter they support/ fukk outta here with that bullshyt
I honestly think the majority of the over the top vitriol comes from Floyd Stans who deep down are scared that Manny might possibly beat their hero so they got to go hard against Manny at all times to tear him down so they can feel less insecure about the outcome of a Manny/Floyd fight.exactly breh.. ill use tim bradley as an example
when tim bradley faced pac in the rematch...the same sentiments were spewed non stop...there were cats who didnt know a gotdamn thing about timmy other than he was black and he held a W over him so they were saying everything and anything...the thread for that fight was a disgrace...yet the threads for bradley when he faced jmm and chaves....not one bit of that nonsense and not one bit of actual support from bradley from those same ppl when those fights happened...its the selective nature of all these race comments regarding floyd mayweather that makes it a complete joke to me...whats even worse its not even floyd against a white fighter..he hasn't faced one since ricky hatton..and even then when hatton is brought up today all these floyd stans speak fondly of him..all these comments are based off floyd facing other minorities...makes it even more
Breh, you know why, but there's other reasons too...
Most people aren't interested in stories of evil vs. evil, which is essentially what the media would have to trot out there. Pacquiao simply isn't as popular as Mayweather is, and he's more or less gained a lot of his popularity off of the fact that Mayweather is so hated in the first place, so of course he's not gonna get the bulk of the media attention.
Another thing is Mayweather basically made himself the villain for marketing purposes earlier in his career, Pacquiao never did this. Even without the domestic violence thing people would still be hating on Mayweather. Pacquiao is basically just a more likable person.
