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.

I dunno. Like it or not, Blacks and Hispanics HAVE dominated boxing for years. Just because there was a big pay day for fighting Hatton, doesnt mean Hatton was a GREAT fighter lol. He got completely mopped by Pacquiao. Im a Pac-Man fan, and even I was embarassed for Hatton lol. Larry Holmes vs Gerry Cooney was one of the biggest fights of all time, but Gerry Cooney wasnt an all time great lol He was just White, and Holmes was Black. You know damn well, even with the rise in European fighters, the US is where its at for boxing.

It wasn't just because he was white. He was undefeated at the time and had KOed some big names in boxing on his way up. He also had the hardest left hand in boxing history. Would it have drawn the money if he was black, or if Holmes was white? No, but it was still a deserved title shot and a valiant effort. In today's 12 round rules he would have lost a close split decision (or won if it was fixed).

lol!! It was completely a race thing. Any boxing historian would tell you the same. Whites at that time were dying for a heavyweight contender, "The Great White Hope". The sides were completely split as far as fans. Whites pulling for Cooney, Blacks pulling for Holmes.

It's not that those white European fighters who own their divisions are so much weaker than anybody from the US, it's that Americans can't be bothered to care unless Americans are involved in something. The US is where it's at for boxing... yeah, if you want American media/people to care. Difference is simple: Europeans and Asians also care if it's Americans they're watching... Americans only care if it's their own people they're watching. Now of course this a super-generalization, and many Europeans, Asians, Americans sure aren't like that, but when talking about the general media/hype/mainstream, then it sure is true.

Pacquiao is the biggest draw in boxing right now. He isnt American. But if you want to keep pushing for the idea that European fighters are better then US fighters, go ahead. I wont laugh at you.
