    I'm not the biggest fan of HBO's commentating. I especially think Larry Merchant is tough to listen to sometimes but...I do recall a stretch of several years where HBO rolled the red carpet for and would go out of their way to protect/promote Jermain Taylor, who is neither white (pavlik) nor asian (manny) so I think this may be a little misplaced. I'm not denying racism in sports but...come on Floyd. Thoughts????

    There's no merit to Floyd's accusations. None at all, because HBO has given so much to black fighters already. HBO might kiss up to some fighters, but it's moreso to those who bring an entertainment value Mayweather just doesn't know anythig about.

    Crying bout racism just shows how unintelligent Mayweather is. Maybe he can take some college course now. With all the money he won, wouldn't hurt.

    Only thing I agree with is his comments towards Lampley but Lampley is no racist he's more of a drama queen .And since Floyd is one also you know how chicks can be catty !:fight
