Blacks are too small of a minority to generate the $ that PBF has made. Its people of all races who hate him that make him so popular. Look in the mirroir at his biggest supporter on ESB. Good or bad, u cant keep his name out of your posts. :think
I was a big supporter, most boxers I support are black. Either way, it's ****ing ******ed to label me as some racist over a comment about black people being floyd's fans when he is the guy talking about philippino support of Pacquiao and Puerto rican support of Cotto. I'm not going to give black people a pass on supporting black fighters when the same **** is said about every boxer in the world and their race/countryman Miranda was just in a video talking about "i always root for the black fighter" So I don't need floyd fans jumping on my case when I say "even black people won't support him if he ducks Mosley"
As unpolitically correct LukeO statements sound, race plays a small part of who some people support. I don't think he meant anything racist about it. A big article came out about a month ago on yahoo saying the importance of not playing the race card is overrated because it simply closes your eyes (ignores) a problem that still exists today albeit in a more race tolerant society.
I think GBP is not really making big money out of its boxing promotions. GBP fight cards mostly sucks and couple that with the GBP new signed up jinx (remember Barrera, Ponce De Leon, Ortiz, Linares, etc.) Mosley should leave GBP if they can't make the Floyd fight. GBP giving JMM the Floyd fight last year was a big slap already to Mosley.
If I said "even filipino people will stop supporting manny if he ducks Mosley" do you think floyd fans would jump on my case? I doubt it.
mosley cant leave Golden Boy. he's a partner i think. Golden Boy should dump gayweather though. floyd's been making a ****** out of them.
