Chael Sonnen on Mayweather: Jealous Racist?

[SuperNerd]

You may recall in the lead up to one of the Silva fights, Chael basically calling Brazilians "mud people". He cleverly avoided using that exact term, as that would then be easy for people to call him on, so he worded it in such a was to say it without specifically using that phrase exactly. That is a sign of a well-practiced racist.

And his fan base LOVED it!

And then what happened? Did everyone close to him suddenly become aware and shun him for his new discovered behavior?

It's also the sign of a well-practiced promoter/prize fighter/pro-wrestler roping in dopes like yourselves to becoming interested in his career.

Sonnen plays these naive MMA fans like a flute.

And yes, he wants you easily convinced, pro-wrestling like fans to believe he is a racist. And it's very amusing watching you bite and swallow.

Floyd made a lot of moves that suggested his intelligence and ultimately put himself in a position of wealth no boxer has ever seen before. Deciding not to renew his contracts with Bob Arum to manage his own career was something almost unheard of. Floyd paid 750 thousand dollars to get out of his contract and bet on himself. He changed his persona, from Pretty Boy Floyd to Money Mayweather. A heel turn that drove up his popularity insanely and made him the boxer fans loved to hate. That's not buisness adivsors. That's Floyd. None of what he's done would be possible if he didn't have to foresight and intelligence to make several key changes himself.

Again, all that shit is something a third-grader could figure out. Are you sure you're not racist?

The reason I ask this is because you seem to be giving Floyd a lot of credit, going as far as calling him intelligent, for making common sense decisions. I feel like if Floyd were white, then you wouldn't be as impressed.

I'm not sure why you think that Sonnen speculating about Mayweather's finances is less appropriate than you speculating about his cultural attitudes and as to whether he's jealous or not. Are you his soulmate, TS? Do you know what he's thinking without him saying it?

Also wasn't aware that it's inherently racist to think that a black person is dumb or mismanages their money. Though TBH you're probably right about Sonnen being racially condescending, there's really not a lot of evidence for it outside of the trash talk he did from a marketing perspective in MMA.

Not sure why you're convinced that Mayweather doesn't live paycheck to paycheck, but I don't feel like taking the time to refute you or investigate more deeply into the matter.

You're being ridiculous. It's so easy to do what Floyd did in fucking hindsight, yet no boxer in history managed to actually do it! He gets credit, because nobody else managed to do it, black or white.

He cut out the fucking middleman, and won. I don't care if you are purple or green, to pull that off in the world of boxing where promoters and managers actively work hard to prevent boxers from deciding their own destiny is beyond impressive. And required intelligence. Believe me, absolutely nobody thought he would pull off what he did.

Yep, edumacation bad, white supremacy, guns, tobaccy, and ignorance good!

It depends on the education. People can be educated in a subject that is pointless, like gender studies. Or they can be educated in something that is meaningful and practical, like engineering. People can also be given misinformation or lies and in that case they'd become stupider after they've been "educated" at a college.

The idea of learning facts, practical skills, and sharpening one's analytical reasoning is a great one; unfortunately US colleges don't necessarily do that. Additionally, US colleges are interested in brainwashing young minds to adopt lefty and authoritarian ideologies while heightening their neuroticism. The end of this process results in an individual who is prone to emotional outbursts, anxiety, and the need to silence others for voicing dissenting opinions--as well as the need to give more power to the government so that it can take care of them.

A good amount of successful boxers are minorities; and boxers are by and large not known for their education and intelligence.

So, are you saying that in light of the above facts, Floyd is intelligent?

That's like saying a person with down syndrome is intelligent because they were able to find matching socks while their down syndrome friends were busy trying to lick their own elbows.

He got a quarter billion check from fighting Manny and then 1 year later he couldn't even pay his taxes on time. He is living beyond his means.

Millions 'aint enough when you want to live like you have billions.

floyd could pay his taxes. he just don't want to LOL. plus alot of times with fight purses declaring taxes can be tricky

How do you get anything done in a day, what with all the time spent listening to Rush Limbaugh and watching Hannity?

No, those close to him would not shun him. They are also racists. Ditto his fan base.

Hell, he grew up in West Linn, OR, a hotbed of racist activity.

yeah ok... All that public speculation and embarrassment and penalties just because he didn't feel like it.



He told the irs in court he specifically needed to wait till he gets paid from the conor fight as he wasn't sufficiently liquid.

He's had many liens from the tax man over the years. His money is always tied up in bugattis and gulfstreams. Don't put so much stock in those instagram videos of him holding stacks of money, or tbe pictures of a cheques that have yet to be been cashed.

Why is it so hard to believe he has much less than he claims? I swear everytime this topic comes up it's like trying to tell a little kid the easter bunny isn't real.

You cannot be serious.LOL!

Having a black coach, having a black friend, hell, fucking a black woman, does not mean you cannot have racist thoughts or feelings about black people. I'm sure Brendan Schaub has black friends as well.

Where do people get this stuff from.

This is true, but you’re starting ass backwards. You need to prove someone is racist, and not assume everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

@Gestas Im bored ... what makes someone "intelligent"?

edit:
Back to topic.

What floyd has achieved is quite impressive. Smart man.

Guys like floyd are rare: Good looking, P4P best genes, money, smart business man, one of the best fighters of all time ... superhuman
