Slightly tangential, Hopkins is 10x the role model that Floyd is, which is a shame; Floyd could be a mega mega superstar. As it stands, Joe Public barely knows who he is.
Bernard Hopkins says he is "ignored because i'm black"
Well that's bullshit as less than 10% of his ppv buys come from blacks
Hispanic audience is the biggest in the states with more than half the market share
Love this guy.

Which is why Floyd always makes sure to fight hispanic fighters on (normally mexicans) on mexican independence day
PPV buys aren't all there is to marketing/buzz, either
Tbh I look to when that interviewer decided to bring up Tyson's rape charge and Tyson told him about himself. Yes I'm aware the interviewer was black, but if it were a white boxer that stuff from 20 years ago wouldn't have been mentioned.
Media already aren't talking about sperm splattered Jennifer Lawrence pics and you might not see the connection, but it is there.
"We don't paint our own in a negative light." is the rule here. Hell its the same reason black folk can't bring up Hitler when you talk about racism. White academics won't have it and try tell you you're the fool for having to bring it up. Pure deflective tactics.

Where have you personally experienced this?
It may be different at other institutions, but i studied it history at university and in my personal experience this isn't the case.

Well it's racism from black people then
Floyd isn't 'famous' because he fits the stereotype, he's famous because he markets himself well
By
1. Making himself the villain that people will root against and pay to see lose
2. Marketing himself at a particular fanbase (i.e. black, stupid Americans) he basically targeted the rap music crowd
