    Broner is a FnF fighter that got on HBO only because he's AA...they wanted a flashy guy that could K.O midgets.

    It's because a 'slick' boxing style is considered boring by the lazy/casual observer - who'll make up the majority of the boxing audience. It's for that reason -- his style -- that he has to work harder to gain attention. It has nothing to do with skin colour. Golovkin is getting ridiculous hype not because he's European/white, but because he has a fan-friendly style and dynamite blocks in his hands. He has the greater potential for giving you thrills.

    And regarding "Imagine if Broner was Mexican or European the hype hed get on this forum lol", are you ****ing serious? Broner has recieved stupendous amount of attention/hype - both from HBO and fans on this forum (and elsewhere), what with all that 'Team G

    For a moment there I thought he was talking about Arthur Abraham's opponents.

    The vast majority of fighters considered great by boxing fans are black Americans, so I don't know what the **** he's talking about, to be honest. Sounds like he's got a chip on his shoulder.

    Numerous AA fighters have been massively hyped by networks and given every advantage in their careers. Lacy, Taylor, Ward, Jacobs to name but a few. I really don't think they can cry too hard about not getting enough attention.

    The "slick" style is considered boring because although it's called "boxing" it's known as the "fight" game.

    People want to see a fight, not one guy moving hell and earth to prevent a fight from breaking out.

    It's why some guys who have massive fanbases sometimes make fights more difficult than they need to

    at the end of the day, sport is entertainment, that's why it's fought in front of a paying audiece

    That's is ignorant as you can get.

    Roman Martinez is Latino who is knocking everyone out, why is there no attention placed on him? Ivan Calderon is Puerto Rican. Why is the fanbase leaning on Miguel Cotto?

    It's not about the race. It's how you fight that gain fans, and if you have charisma.
