Is there a media bias against Al Haymon fighters? (by Paul Magno)

So what? He was STILL blasted badly by the press. WTF are you looking for, EVEN levels of anger and outrage? And how do you measure what's enough for it to be EVEN?

atsch As more information came about, it was clear just how cloudy the situation was. Still, he was blasted and hated by the press.


Again, who blasted WIlliams for his loss? You keep makiong these statements, but when asked, says nothing.

You just want to see this black/white...:-(

 

no one gives a **** about arum, plenty of people dont even know who arum is.

shutting your mouth is sometimes good if you cant talk like that idiot pwilly.

 

I haven't seen anyone blasting Berto or Williams in any articles yet.

 

i think compukiller is trying to play the poor black slave card.

if so **** off back to africa then ******.

 

Me either. berto gave a good/fair account of himself though. Pwill who is one of my favorite fighters basically got no press after his loss. But, Pwill never gets much press anyway good or bad.

I dont agree that haymon gets singled out. I think all promoters get their due criticism at times. Don King has got the worst likely, but again you can make a strong argument that he deserved a lot of it. King also is one of the wealthiest black men in america, if not the world. So I am sure he doesnt give a ****.

 

I would go back to Africa, but your mother needs my long black manhood.

 

is this **** all about berthoe and pwilly?

do i really have to get started on those ***** ass ***gits?

 

Don King was hated on more than any other promoter EVER. Is race the only factor? Of course not. He was and will always be a scumbag. But, given the morality of his white counterparts, I find him being singled out to be curious at best.

 

just like how your mother needs the crack pipe?

 

Must we resort to gay bashing?

 

And I guess Steve Kim saying it's good for biz when Haymon's fighters lose doesnt count, right?

 

thats what those ***gits are.

those 2 bitches always cried about everyone ducking them yet they didn't fight each other, shane mosley was willing to knock pwilly out cold but he wouldnt fight him, berthoe bitched out of a fight because his second cousins dog died in haiti.

watching pwilly get knocked out cold and andre berthoe beaten by a quitter made my year, only haye knocking out klitschko top it.

 

I'd think you have a stronger argument making a case for King than haymon. Things have changed a lot since rumble in the jungle and thrilla in manilla. The other issue is that King put on some of the biggest fights ever in boxing. With the biggest stage comes the biggest criticism. Plus, King was a break through black promoter and with him being black I am sure there was some discrimination. And like we all know the guy blatantly ripped some fighters off. However, he is said to be worth some 700 million plus so he made his return on his promotions.

 

That's alot of anti-black american sentiment you have there...

 

thank you.
