    Personally, I think Broner is funny with that comment. I know he has been fined or suspended for it but really can some please explain what is the big deal.

    I know network tv has to maintain some sort of image and professionalism but come on cutting him off for that is ridiculous to me.

    What are some of your thoughts on the matter?

    In my opinion no.


    But maybe to mexicans, dominicans,...etc...



    Just saying mexican may be deemed extremely racist to the PC crowd on television.

    Is not the "can" word. People got offended because he said: I just beat the **** out of a Mexican, or something along those lines. Which I don't understand the fuzz behind it, The guy was Mexican.
    If Broner got in trouble then Roach should get in trouble also for calling Garcia a "fu¢×ing mexican". Double standards

    I think he's a clown but I don't see how that's disrespectful. In fact he's saying anyone from anywhere, I'll beat them, it's sorta inclusive in his way.

    I can't stand Broner, but I can't stand Political Correctness just as much. Who cares its no big deal, people are way too sensitive now days. Everybody should stop being such crybabies.:|:|:|:|

    No i think its perfectly acceptable.

    This is boxing not Golf.

    If you can tolerate the violence in the ring you shouldnt have a problem with a harmless joke.
