One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. If this were a women's issue I'd understand the implication of hypocrisy. It's not.

Besides, Adonis Pimpenson would've slapped fire out of a white hoe just as fast as he would've a black hoe if they didn't have his money:manny:

Only color they care about is green

with every casual outlet covering the fight, making new mediocre podcasts (or pumping out horrible articles, here's a refreshing series of podcasts on the fight

it's not just "who will win" or talking about the strengths and weaknesses (which everyone already knows) but rather the cultural and outsider parts of the fight. loved them just trying something like this. how to help fans will enjoy the fight, the religious stuff, etc, unique stuff and pretty good from The Guardian. and pretty funny in that wisecracking british wit way

Kind of a big deal
Just how big a deal is this fight anyway? ESPN announcer Brian Campbell has a theory about why it’s the biggest in decades, while Filipino sports journalist (and Manny appreciator) Ronnie Nathanielsz says it’ll stop the Philippines for 48 hours.

It’s still good!
Are high expectations the surest way to disappointment? We talk to author Matthew Bazell and Grantland editor Rafe Bartholomew to work out whether Pacquiao v Mayweather is worth the hype, while sports psychologist Abra Garfield gives you some tips for maximising your enjoyment on fight night.

Scripture class
Manny got so many more knockouts before he found God. His trainer Freddie Roach says he’s looking for a biblical scholar who can recommend some passages advocating violence. So we tracked down the next best thing: the Guardian’s Adam Brereton, who found a couple of Bible verses that are sure to turn Manny into a raging bull. We also spoke to wrestling writer Tom Keiser about the fight’s good versus evil narrative.

Insert title(s) here
Pacquiao and Mayweather will fight for a World Boxing Council title belt encrusted with 3,000 emeralds and a World Boxing Association trophy plated in gold. Does that actually mean anything, though? The Queensberry RulesTim Starks explains why boxing has so many titles and gets to the bottom of who the real champions are.

A lot has happened
There are three weeks left until fight night and it’s all happening. From the girl who bet her virginity on Mayweather to the rapper who got a TMT (The Money Team) Tattoo on his face, we have you covered on all the Pacquiao v Mayweather news. We also have boxing historian Patrick Connor on to talk legacy and whether heavyweight champions are any good at picking fights after Muhammad Ali went with Pacquiao and then changed his mind.
