For those of you so enthralled with Mayweather and #blackexcellence, I'm curious. Has he ever spoken out on the police brutality thats been in the national spotlight for over a year now?

I was waiting for him to show solidarity with Baltimore during his conference, but not a word. Too busy promoting his sponsors. Dude was on this biggest stage of the world this weekend and nothing.

I understand wanting to see cacs mad, but just keep that and all his flaunting of money in mind during your idolization of him.

i understand what you're saying, but here's the thing to me: why do we(blacks) expect/want/need every famous black person to speak out about everything? and when they dont, people somehow hold that against them...

why do we look to every one of them for more, as more, than what they are?...by that i mean floyd is a boxer, why are people looking to him for more than his boxing skill?....jay z is a rapper, why do people look to him for more than just his music?....would it be good if they did talk more about what's going on with blacks? hell yea...but if they dont, that's cool too cause they dont have to...

and it has nothing to do with idolizing (which no one is doing by just celebrating his victory), it's just saying i dont look to floyd, jay, ja rule, (insert whatever famous black person) for more than what they are/provide, as should others....those people should be celebrated by us for succeeding, but that doesnt mean we need them to be the spokesmen/women for us all the time...and it damn sure doesnt mean we need to tear them down over some bullshyt made up stipulation....cause when people do knock whomever for not speaking out more, that's what it comes across as....like it's a reason they are trying to use to justify their dislike for whomever, which is bullshyt....cause even if whomever spoke out about 1 thing, yall still wouldnt be happy cause yall would say 'why didnt he/she speak out about this/that too?'....

Floyd Mayweather Is A Coward

I should have known better. I should have known that the fight would suck. I have lived long enough to know that the whole point of spending $100 on a pay-per-view boxing match is so you can complain about spending $100 on a pay-per-view boxing match. There were people back in the day who used to bytch about Mike Tyson knocking out people too quickly, which seems like a groundless complaint now after watching Mayweather bore the world to death. Mike Tyson either knocked you out, or got knocked out trying. Floyd Mayweather is his diametric opposite.

Yes, he won the fight. He threw more punches and he landed more of them and he was the superior boxer, I guess. He won in the same way some neutral zone trap hockey team bleeds out another team. He clearly built his fighting style around with a calculated strategy of gaming the compubox system so that he gets credit for even the most cursory of punches. And he gets away with it because he always looks as if he can do more. It always feels like there’s some grand fusillade of punches in him that he never ends up having to deploy. He looks like he could unload if he ever felt like it, and so he gets an awful lot of credit for all the things he could do but is too shrewd to risk doing. The only time he ever goes on the offensive is when he’s fighting a woman.

To watch Floyd Mayweather box is to witness an elaborate exercise in self-preservation. There’s not much passion. There’s certainly not much flair. There’s just Floyd moving around, doing his best to preserve a rote decision, and preserve the potential rematch, and preserve an unbeaten record that holds more historic value to him that it does anyone else. And yes, his style works, if only in the most cynical sense. Really, it’s the perfect boxing strategy for a man who is a documented wife-beater and shytbag: always doing just enough to get away with it.

The bedrock principle of this little site is that sports and morality have no connection at all. And I believe in that. But Floyd Mayweather is a near universally agreed-upon villain, and so it was hard to watch him dikk around in the ring last night—turning what should have been a big fight into an extended sparring exercise—and not think, “Hey, that guy beats up women and fights like a fukking coward.” The art, in this case, is nearly impossible to separate from its creator. I know Floyd is a coward, and so I can’t help but thinking he fights the same way. Always ducking. Always running. The man will never pick a fight he knows he might lose.

I don't expect celebs to do shyt for the black community, when that responsibility is up to me and other everyday people. With that said, I don't co-sign everything he does(rolling with Bieber, sticking up for Donald Sterling), but I can co-sign him starting his own promotion company and putting on other other blacks(Broner, his friend from the 96 Olmpics
