Mayweather accuses HBO of bias against black fighters

Recently retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. accused the American pay-TV channel Home Box Office of bias against him and other black fighters. Mayweather, a 31-year-old former Olympic bronze medalist from Grand Rapids, told The Grand Rapids Press in an interview Friday that HBO "is great," but criticized its boxing analysts. "They talk about Kelly Pavlik, a white fighter, like he's the second coming. Or they go crazy over Manny Pacquiao. But I'm a black fighter," Mayweather said. [link]
