    Do your own research! You can get banned on ESB for posting a another boxing forum/link. That's why people here say go check out the **** of boxing or something like that. I found out the hard way.

    Wait. Steps 1 & 2 are superfluous because Floyd is his own boss. :yep

    Sociologically speaking...
    I do agree with the concept brought up by such societal critics as Michel Foucault that beliefs & systemic inequities require power to be enforced (ie. it takes power to affect racism). But that's out of the window in post 2008 America, man. Obama is President. ;) During his campaign, certain voices on the political right also accused him of being arrogant/cocky & "loud" in terms of speaking his mind on topics that the political right thought were out of his scope of experience. He got elected thanks in large part to white voters who got tired of the Republican status quo. Not to mention that, in the media centers of the USA, people of color generally out# whites. & yes, I am a person of color. I know firsthand the legacy of racism upon which the western world is built. We're on the internet exchanging ideas in English, after all. But bringing up the race card is bogus here. Negative sentiments directed at the Mayweathers have more to do with their fixation on playing the Apollo Creed persona in the boxing press than they do with the Apollo Creed persona being black.

    spoken like a learned man. i once got into an argument with a black poster here accusing me of being an uppity white for calling pbf a disgrace etc. an *******.

    and to think I am as brown as chocolate. clearly, the bias shows against the white in favor of his fellow black.

    when the issue here is pbf being ******* regardless of color.

    nevada can ban these guys by alleging that their commission is corruptible.

    Damn now Dana White is trashing Floyd as well.:rofl And BTW Rugged Man is back and hes got some harsh words.:lol: Americans are killing Floyd!

    Seriously, JAke Donovan respected boxing columnist is all over Floyd. This is not going to look good on Floyd. Hes going to be treated like a leper after this settles.

    True, did he win fighter of the year?:lol: This is crazy. The frustrating thing is if this fight gets made. It was much ado about nothing. I just hope this is all hype.

    Then both are ****ing up boxing and a big payday. Fans are going to be so fed up that both will be lucky to get 250k buys on their next fights.

    Dana White is salivating on this, he needs this because UFC aint the hottest thing right now.
