    A lot of people in recent generations eat up the reality TV persona. It's simple entertainment for simple people. They can relate to the complete lack of humility and self respect because they themselves have no humility or self respect. Mix that with a little victimhood, you have a recipe to win a lot of supporters. Look how well it's worked for Mayweather. It's actually quite brilliant. It's a strange phenomenon here in the United States. We have certain people who purposely act like total asshats...then they, or their fanbase, get defensive when they get criticism due to acting like an asshat. Even worse, the race card will be played. Of course this leads to people becoming apathetic when it comes to actual racism. What these simple folk fail to understand is respect breeds respect. No one is going to respect a person and his/her accomplishments if they clearly have no respect for themselves, or in this case, the fight game, their opponents, and those who came before them.

    broner needs to back the hype up and fighting no hopers ain't going to do it.

    The folks complaining about Ward are cry baby Euros who talk **** about him because he is American, not because he's black. Recall these are the same folks that honestly believe that Europe has produced talent on par with the US over the last 50 years.

    Nobody is demanding it...
    Just the lightweight division is lacking in legit comp.

    It's Vasquez, Burns & bust... On the elite level.
    (& one is affiliated with Top Rank = No fight)

    +Golden Boy has a stacked roster @140lbs
