When the media hype trains wants you to be known, for better or for worse, you will be.

The success story of a rags to riches black man who doesn't cower to these water moccasins is not and will never be on their agenda.

The idea that all athletes are covered equally is non-sense...

More like he's ignored through his career cuz he got the most mind numbing boring dirty style of boxing possible. Clinch clinch clinch jab, roughhouse clinch. Ain't no one wanna pay ppv for that shyt.

Honestly dude is having a resurgence in his career cuz he finally has a marketing point, he's so old it's turned into a story line they can finally right about him.

Watching a grandpa box at a high level is like :ohhh:

It's true though, if ANY white boxer had the resume/run Bhop has had the media would be calling him the GOAT by now. Look at GGG dude has yet to fight a B fighter and the media is already comparing him to some of the greatest middleweights of all time. :shaq2:

Yeah I remember when Jim Lampley referred to him as this era's Mike Tyson :mjlol:

It's always been Hopkins style that he didn't get the respect and media attention that he feels he deserves.

Tell that to the Klitchko's, you're irrelevant because you're boring.

Nationality & the entertainment factor are the biggest things in determining media coverage.
