Ok nikka... Who was he supposed to fight
Berto WAS losing but who won
And yeah, it has everything to do with race. Pac got KO'd and beat bums going into that fight against Mayweather and it still sold... Mayweather knows what he's doing to get paydays. Latinos support their fighters and even white people will support other races other than AM so tickets will sell.
He's not doing that this time. Berto will come to fight just like Maidana did when everyone doubted that fight and its entertainment value.
So again... Who was he supposed to fight
Pac had 2 things going for him besides the obvious 6 year buildup for his fight with floyd: he was a champion and actually beat a ranked welterweight and took his zero. things that happened after he got ko'ed by JMM
Maidana going into his fights with floyd knocked off a champion and took his zero. Nobody said shyt about the fight being made because he earned it, but like you said it was a question mark on how the fight would play out
Berto since he got ko'ed by Jesus Soto Karass (
)..struggled with a bum who actually hurt him and then had to score a come behind KO against a pretty shopworn Josesito Lopez, who pretty much was able to hit him at will..you think that that earns him a Floyd fight?
Floyd himself said he was looking for an
easy fight..his words...and threw out berto and karim mayfield...berto was the name he picked and had the most notoriety (due to his failures)...and worse he even put this on a PPV for 75 bucks...but race is the main reason why no one supports or gives a shyt about this fight?
The only people who care about this are Haitians, berto stans, and floyd stans and even among most of the Floyd stans, this fight is
status to them..most didnt even know Floyd was even fighting lol
floyd had other choices if we want to play the "who should floyd fight?" game - we have kell brook, we have keith thurman, and we have shawn porter..if he fought one of these and it wasn't selling you can prolly use race as an argument...but these are black fighters currently more deserving than andre berto..but floyd wanted an easy fight..fine he can do that but he and ellerbe can't go ahead and spin this into something of a challenge for him..it doesn't work that way
where your ab at now? Putting on fights at the Apollo? Against no names?
, about to win our 4th belt in as many divisions, and about to get a win over a guy who just held this WBA title until he lost a close fight to Jessie Vargas in his last outing.
, so...safe to say it's a little "anger" from the fact Mayweather beat Pac/ is about to tie Rocky/retire undefeated beating the most Champions/made the most money/sold the most PPVs.
who has he actually beaten that's worth a damn?
