    It's a shame that yet another Klit fan on ESB has come out as a disgusting racist, but at you can make a new like-minded friend there manning.

    Why so hateful bro? It's not good for you. Just imagine I'm white and you can let all your hate melt away.

    This is a damn travesty. For the record I don't think you can call Ward a ducker considering he's fighting Dawson.

    He still has an opportunity to fight Bute, and if Bute wins, he probably will, perhaps even if Bute loses.

    Yes, he fought opponents BASED in the US or US citizens.

    When neither of the two fighter is American or at least based in America then there is very little interest from the big US TV stations. Make an exception for Puerto Rico and Mexico but that's about it.

    Nobody in the US cares about two Europeans going at it in Europe. Even if they were the two bets fighters in the division. That's how stupid big American TV is.

    I have been labelled as one, since I am a vocal Wlad fan, but I think this reply was a bit witty.

    It became obvious to me that when the K2 began their domination back in the late 90s that fans were being divided by race.
    While neither K2 became the dominant force int he division until about 04, their being at or near the top of the game started to draw of the ni66alova haters by the droves.

    I too am a K2 fan. But moreso, Im a fightfan. I can like Seth Mitchell and hate David Haye. But at the same time, I can defend David Haye's abilities and go so far as to say he has the potential to become an ATG.

    My ATG favorite fighter was Larry Holmes, but I think Wlad and Bute MAY be creeping up on him in terms of how I value their abilities.

    Sad these racists can't like a guy like Golovkin b/c he's white. Sad they can't like Pacqioua or Chavez Jr or even Cotto b/c they aint black.

    Racism sucks and its ****ing sad how blind these racists are to the fact that non black athletes are as good and can be better than the heroes whose semen they swallow based purely off the color of their skin.:-:)-:)-:)-(

    HBO and Showtime had their money on two fights that failed due to drug cheats. Peterson-Khan, Ortiz-Berto, plus a Pacquiao PPV in between. Those were both good fights to air and they can't be blamed for Peterson and Berto juicing up and ruining the fights. There is only so much budget in a year. In the meantime, Epix picked it up, so good on them, and you can watch it for free with a trial account online, so really what's the problem?
