"In boxing, we know who's dominating. Black fighters and Hispanic fighers is dominating in this sport. And this is not a racial statement but there's no white fighters in boxing that's dominating, so they had to go to something else and start something new."
The guy apologizes then makes some more comments. The man will say anything to get attention and it's kinda pathetic.

Yup. He's pretty much correct on this one. Despite the fact more than half of the current boxing title holders are white. Most of the superstars, if not all of them, are black, hispanic, or Filippino. Mayweather, Cotto, Pacquiao, Haye, Donaire, Marquez, Vasquez, Mosley, Dawson... the list goes on. There's not a single white boxer in the top 10 pound for pound list. Not one. Especially with the Klitschko brothers dominating a weak heavyweight division.
On the flip side, the non-white stars in MMA are vilified when they portray themselves to be anything other than the unassuming quiet guy. You should have seen the response videos on Youtube when Rampage beat Liddell, or when Evans beat Liddell. Disgusting.
Jon Jones should have it a bit easier, cause he doesn't seem to have a cocky persona. As do most of the South American fighters who don't talk trash. But why is it that a lot of white fighters (save for Lesnar, but that's a whole different beast), can talk smack (Liddell and Hughes, for instance) and not be vilified? And Tito Ortiz is of latin descent, for all intensive purposes, before someone brings him up.

I agree with him about Blacks and Hispanics rule boxing and some of the greatest fighters ever have pretty much all been Black(Ali, Frazer, Tyson etc.) but it's a little ridiculous to say a whole sport was made because a certain race can't fight or isn't dominating. Plus he said before this De La Hoya fight that MMA wasn't a real sport and etc. After the fight was over he apologized. You don't insult a whole sport and then take back. Now he's spewing shit again. I could give a shit about someone talking shit about the opponent he is going against but after the fight it should end and be over with. I thought what Lesnar did was funny but it was classless at the same time.

Well I guess it will Take Sean Sherk to show up at a press conference again to challenge him to shut his mouth. Or maybe a BJ Penn this time?

So I guess that Anderson Silva, Alister Overeem, Cung le, Lyota Machida, Gegard Mousasi are all white dudes...shocking.
With the exception of Brock Lesnar, Fedor, Jake Shields, and GSP ( frenchman) and BJ Penn ( islander ), pretty much all of the champs in MMA are NOT white guys, so Floyd Jr. and kiss my white ass.
He's just talking shit to keep his name out there.
He's the Kit Kope of boxing.
