In a recent interview with ESPN, Mayweather claimed that race was a big part of why he wasn't "popular" among Americans.

He stated:

"But I wouldn't change my life for nothing in the world. There's nothing like being young, black and rich. But there are certain things you think about. If Floyd Mayweather was white, I'd be the biggest athlete in America. The biggest, the biggest. I know that for a fact."


Looks like we have another Kanye West on our hands. Michael Jordan is considered the greatest basketball player of all-time and Tiger Woods considered by many to be the greatest golfer of all time. Both are black and their skin color had nothing to do with it.

No Floyd, the reason we don't like you is because you're cocky, refer to yourself in the 3rd person, and flaunt your money - not because of your skin color.

I blame MMA. But IMO, I think he's pretty popular.

[Wildcatk23]

IMO I think hes a retard, clearly the biggest athletes of now are black, Tiger Woods, Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Adrian Peterson, (Michael Vick) , Seriously, Is this guy on crack, him and kanye must be having dinner together. I mean seriously we have a black president, how can it get any more popular than that.

It's due to MMA

..................................
This just puts Floyd Mayweather in the same league as T.O. and Chad Johnson ( I refuse to call him "Ochocinco")

Ridiculous comments, he would be much more appreciated if he would shut his mouth!!!!!!

[Stardust]

I have a lot of friends that are the same "race" as Money, and they almost to a person, want to see someone shut him up once and for all. If it's race, it's that all races hate him.

[Cat Scratch Fever]

He is just mouthy and arrogant. Black or white he is just a jerk. As good as he is it is hard to see how good he is because his flamboyant actions and comments get in the way.
I can't wait to see him flat on his back in the ring someday.

LOL I love him! He's a beast! If I had as much money as him I'd flaunt it to. He's called money for a reason!

[Wildcatk23]

Well, u love the fact that he considers white people racist?

[NEWARKCATHOLICFAN]

He must have race issues if he is playing this card.

[TidesHoss32]

No, its not because he's black (because lord knows we never see black boxers) ...he's not popular because he's an unlikable little punk. Not to mention he bores me to death to watch him fight. I hope Marquez finds some way to beat his ***.

[Old School]

Never heard of him. Who is this Floyd Mayfield?

[Stardust]

Well, u love the fact that he considers white people racist?

LOL :Thumbs:

[pagan]

Every popular boxer for the last 30 years has been black...nice use of the RACE card there Floyd....

[CatDawg]

Pagan took the words right out of my mouth. He isn't popular because he can be a jerk.

[frankie21]

I agree on the race issues, he def has them

[Death]

I think Mayweather is an idiot.

[Stardust]

^ but a very smart one

[mister... basketball]

hmm if i do recall, probably the best boxer of all time (muhammed ali) was black, am i right?

its not because of race its just for the simple fact that nobody watches boxing anymore, straight up mma nowadays. if he wants to be popular maybe he should go to the ultimate fighter. him and kanye just want attention IMO.
