Floyd needs support because HE IS LITERALLY BLAZING A NEW TRAIL ON HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN BOXING. Floyd is a certified scumbag no doubt, but so are the CEOs of the fukking coporations you clowns support everyday with your dollars when you go to your local supermarkets and fast food chains, so spare me the bytching.

Floyd is definitely not a role model outside of the ring. Dude is dumb and he beats women. But in the ring he is literally the greatest boxer alive and probably one of the top 5 boxers to ever do it. Furthermore, given the fact he stands to make record profits promoting HIMSELF is truly a site that's awesome to behold. I can't recall an athlete making as much money as floyd is making off oh himself like floyd is doing.

Another Gold Medal
Black folks do not watch combat sports anymore like we used to or rather black athletes do not sign up for combat sports like they used to. We come out in droves and support dudes like Jon Jones, Anderson, and Floyd cause black fighters need the right combination of dominance, charisma, and star power to draw us in.

Combat sports are in a weak era right now. Because most of the premier athletes go towards other sports cause they pay better. Then there's the fact a lot of blacks in MMA or Boxing are only there because they couldn't make it in basketball and football. I know Mayweather said his dad forced him into it since he was an infant, he didn't choose boxing. Shane Mosley said he wasn't big enough for basketball, and Jon Jones said he sucks at basketball and football(his two brothers are in the NFL). It's sort of a Plan B for a lot of these dudes to begin with. Especially Bradley dude is a midget who gets by on hardwork and heart, he is not physically talented or gifted at all.

It'll never be as many blacks in those sports like it used to be because of that. Why would a Lebron James or Adrian Peterson built nikka go sign up for boxing/MMA and get their brains bashed in for peanuts spending the rest of their life like Ali or Freddie Roach, when he can go to the NFL or NBA for million dollar contracts, endorsements, and banging the hottest broads of all races on the best college campuses BEFORE you even go Pro?


As for the Africa thing, nikka is African American it's not his problem. I can respect that. I just don't see the point in people holding that Africa quote against Floyd. No point in investing and building somewhere else your bloodline hasn't been in over 400 years, when your house(Black America) is not fixed. We're not like the Hispanics, Asians, Irish, Italians, and Arabs who live in America. We do not know anybody from Africa in our family picture book like the previous mentioned groups do of their homeland. "What has Africa ever done for me" what he was trying to get at with that, is that some Africans are a$$holes to Black Americans. That is the perspective that Floyd was coming from with that. But people took it out of context. There's all kinds if intra-racism in Africa. Kenyans and South Africans kill Somalis for being in their country, but just last month Chinese was locking Kenyans out of stores in Kenya itself.

Floyd does all kinds of charity work in America and does things for his hometown anyway. I noticed a lot of dudes in that thread quoting Floyd on the Africa thing are not even black American anyway. Some of those dudes have even shytted on black Americans in other threads(thanks @Poitier for staying on those nikkas)

We are a few weeks from the biggest and highest grossing fight of all time and boxing is back to prime time television but "combat sports aint what they used to be" :francis:

If you fukk with Floyd like that cool, I'm not here to change your mind I just gave the reasons why I dont fukk him. If those Africa comments or dude being the first one to defend Bieber for tgose racist tapes don't effect how you look at him that's on you. :manny:

I kind of think the whole "he's dumb and a woman beater" is played too. i think people tend to forget how many ACTUAL domestic abusers are in boxing/MMA and in every race... Dudes chick didn't have a mark and still lives off him.

And as for him being dumb... He was smart enough to promote himself all the way to the bank. I dont know, not many people are making 100mil a year... Without endorsements.

Everything else I agree with

I know that. He's been back in his corner since 2013, that still proves my point.

wasnt refuting your point at all breh but he still has a less then perfect relationship wit his pops (prolly cuz they're so fukking similar) to the point where is worth a mention... idk who was in the wrong there tho cuz they both did grimey shyt to each other in the public eye

whose training with him this go around tho i havent really been paying attention to the news around it

I hope Mayweather wins because he's black...
There, I said it :yeshrug:

Pretty much yep, I don't care how much of an ass Mayweather is I will never root for the loss or fall of a black man especially when Cacs, and dirty Hispanics and the likes simply want him to lose because his a successful black man on the verge of retiring as one of if not the greatest
