What kind of dumb statement is that? Europeans aren't white? Only white Americans are?
--- Quote ---It's not because they're white, it's because they aren't American. If Heavyweight Boxing was being dominated by an American white guy it'd be huge in the states, like it is in Eastern Europe right now. A real like Rocky Balboa would be ten times as big as Ali, and Tyson in their prime combined. Shit, the fake Rocky Balboa even has his own staue in Philly.

I wasn't talking about the American public in general, but to job. If a boxer from Congo would dominate the heavyweight class, no way he would hate on heavyweight boxing.

TheDeli:
Mayweather totally avoiding the Super Middleweight division then with his comments?
A division where every world title is held by a white European. A division that untill he retired was dominated by Joe Calzaghe (Total pro recored of 46 wins 32 by KO, 0 defeats & 0 draws), untill he went to light-heavyweight and beat Bernard Hopkins (who claimed "he'd never lose to a white boy.") & Roy Jones Jr?
WBA Mikkel Kessler (Denmark)
WBC Carl Froch (United Kingdom)
WBO Károly Balzsay (Hungary)
IBF Lucian Bute (Romania)
Same for Middleweight, where again all world titles are held by white boxers
The Ring, WBO, WBC - Kelly Pavlik (American)
WBA - Felix Strum (Germany)
IBF - Arthur Abraham (Armenia/Germany)

My mistake. I thought you were making a general statement on the popularity of Boxing in North America. I don't know Job, but I'll take your word for it.
Javier:
Mayweather knows how popular and competitive boxing is in Europe. For fuck's sake, one of his bigger pay days came from fighting Ricky Hatton. Since Mayweather is one of those people that talks without thinking, you gotta basically see what he was trying to say. Knowing how dumb this dude is with his comments, he probably did simply mean whites from the U.S., and not every white person in the world.
