T/F Floyd Mayweather would have made double if he was white?

He thinks so


Would he have made more? Maybe considering we haven't had a really good white fighter in awhile, but boxing is also dwindling it seems in numbers (nothing to back that up, just an opinion) and there seems to be a lack of really good fighters now.

I would have made 10X in my life if I was a really good boxer.

What's his point?

He's made enough to bail a murderer out of jail so I'd say he's good

He's a boring fighter and he's small


mike Tyson made shite tons of money bc he was a HW and amazingly exciting. And was black.


Who wants to pay $70 to watch a tiny person run around the ring, dodging all punches, throwing only enough to win the round, for 12 rounds, against some no namer who was hyped as the next big thing who we never hear from again after the fight? This race thing with him is complete shite. Especially bc there was a fight 8 years ago everyone wanted to see and would've paid for, but these clowns refused to make it happen

He probably could have picked up more corporate sponsors if he wasn't such an a-hole.

He has made a lot of money gambling too. He bets a million dollars on college football alone. I would love to see how much he had won and lose gambling.

False, he would've made double if he wasn't a POS human being.

This is also not true. Not true at all.

His image is the main reason his fights sell so much.

Only reason I watch him is because I hope he gets knocked out and I don't want to miss it.

From endorsements, no question. I would imagine not too many companies want to endorse that freak show.

Of course if he was the same freak show, but white, not sure how much more willing they would be. Maybe a little.

First off he gambles large chunks of money instead of investing.

Second, the most popular boxers in history were black. Louis, Holyfield, Ali, Foreman, Leonard, and now Mayweather.

False.


White folks would have shunned him years ago and his career would be over to never return.

ONLY a black athlete could have lasted like he has and earned as much as he has despite the constant obnoxious and criminal behavior he's exhibited over and over.
