Are HBO's boxing commentators racist and/or bias? (Video)

[Big Dick]

Larry Merchant is too senile to be racist these days and Lampley's an annoying little bytch but I dont think hes racist.

HBO has the worst boxing commentators Ive ever seen though they're too worried about crafting and hammering home a certain storyline for whatever fight their calling instead of just commentating. That's why I was telling my nephew during the Bradley fight of course everyone is gonna think Pacman won when 99% of the world is watching it on HBO and their "experts" are telling you unequivocally for 12 rounds that Bradley is being dominated even though looking back Bradley did waaaaaaaaaay better then they gave him credit for.

fukk hbo boxing

I think too many people look into that racist shyt with the commentating.

Yeah HBO has an agenda and yeah them dudes got they bias and favorites, but shyt everyone does. Cats gotta remember that they also have to help sell the fight. When the challenger starts putting punches together, of course they gotta hype it up a lil. I've seen them give props to Floyd, ROy, Sweet Pea. Hell if anybody remember Chris Bryd, you know it was hard as fukk for him to get props. They shytted on him alot, but even then he got his props when he fought in entertaining scraps (Holyfield, McCline) People forget that Boxing is entertainment as well. People wanna see a lil risk being taken every now and then. I can't blame them for wanting to see that. Imagine having to sit through JMM/Gainer and not talk shyt about that boring ass fight.

Merchant seems like a good ole boy racist.

Lampley seems like a dikk rider more than anything else, but this video is very compelling...

fukk em both either way. Their bias announcing fukking disgust me. And than that fakkit Lederman comes in "Okay Jim..." with his bs scorecard.

That's why I stay with a free stream....

Bolded for truth

they subconsciously perceive black people as the lesser race.

Just curious, what is the race of you posters who said that they aren't racist.

He goes off into tangents a little too early in the video (Starts talking about the WBO, etc), but I definitely agree with his general thoughts...this entire ordeal has been a disgusting character assassination against Bradley, and much of it has centered around racial elements. Sick of black athletes always having to deal with this shyt. fukk all has changed since the 60's.
