Boxing in America lost it's appeal when the blacks and browns started running the sport and talking shit....making moves, dominating, and freezing out the CAC's
when CAC's were runnin boxing it was rival with baseball as america's pastime....
the could deal with one loud moth like ali, as long as it didn't catch on,.....
then you got black guys like al haymon taking over behind the scenes... guys like oscar starting rival promotions to become standard. guys like floyd mayweather making deals with networks instead of promoters.....
anything that makes niggaz that much money is gonna be looked at negatively.....
it's like rock vs rap.....
no matter how hard rock go, rap is always looked at as more negatively cuz it makes niggaz rich
hockey has fights but the nba is full of thugs
soccer team can't even make the world cup, but we worried about niggaz standing for the flag in football.....
that's why ufc took over.... no one gave a shit till you saw a bald headed white boy who was promoting these beefed up white boys who was beating the shit outta niggaz representing for rednecks all over the country...
i mean it gets deeper, but it just depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you ready to go
shit bud crawford would be a ppv star right now if he was a mexican
errol spence would be a household name if he didn't promote himself just using haymon as an advisor.....
but they both managing their careers masterfully
