Boxing is full of reprobates, I think you're following the wrong sport, perhaps dressage may reveal a roster of more morally sparkling human beings?

Good one!! If you're looking for "morally pure" athletes (a myth in any sport) then boxing is clearly not your sport.

If you are looking for role models in any sport, you are barking up the wrong tree. Sports is for entertainment, not for moral advancement.

Exactly...Hollywood sleazebags get a pass from media while athletes are generally held more accountable than actors/musicians/non-sports celebrities.

At least Floyd paid the price of a 90-day jail sentence, which is far more than child-molesting movie director Roman Polanski ever did.

What they don't realize is that Floyd is impervious to these types of tactics at this point. He's proven that he can assault anyone he wants and batter who he needs to and we are still going to buy his fights. The article points out the main reason why Floyd has been able to avoid being cast out of the public eye..no images of the woman he's beaten. No pictures have hit the internet. He's bought them all up and even got Las Vegas Police to throw them out somehow. It's an interesting take if nothing else. But none of it matters...we will watch...unfortunately.

Why? Because he did his time.

If you think your entire livelihood should be stripped from you over something like that you've probably never had a girlfriend.

Of course you should never hit a woman unless its a serious case of self defense or some such emergency. We've all made mistakes, I haven't made that one, but we've all done some seriously stupid shet at one time or another. Like Gilgamesh said he did his time. I don't base my buying decisions on the character of the fighter. I'm not buying this PPV because the matchup is BS. Not because Mayweather did something wrong, which he did and paid for.

Unfortunately this kind of thing is common amongst all athletes, much worse in most cases, and is usually referenced by nobodies in some self serving manner. Sugar Ray Robinson did far worse, is considered the greatest ever, and we don't hear much about that. Either way, it's obvious nobody truly cares that's how it is and will remain. Floyd is no angel. Didn't want or expect him to be. Focus on the fighting, half ass moral crusades are completely meaningless and reek of hypocrisy anyway.

The point of the article is that he bought his way out of the other 3 charges and used his money and influence to suppress information.

You two guys have come up with a couple of ridiculous comments. My guess is that you didn't read that much of the article. "We've all made mistakes"? Floyd is a habitual beater of women...we aren't talking about once on an off day here. He's been caught 5 times at least and those are just the ones police knew about. Not sure if you guys are American or not but athletes that hit women in America are usually done...gone...never to be heard from again. Not Floyd. He can do whatever he wants. It's odd.

While these points are further proof that this country is hypocritical, it doesn't matter.
There is an engrained bias against athletes in these situations.
Apparently it takes athletic ability to put a real hurting on a 110 pound woman.

A lot of people see athletes and "jocks" in general as meatheads. Not all fit that description of course, but some do.

Athletes reflect the "regular American man".
Is a beat down from Floyd is more severe than one from a 240 pound construction worker who works out?
Is the general mentality any different.

I think it's more of "man shaming" by other men. It's "our" way to say, it's "them" that's doing these horrible things.
And it's a way for the type of sportscaster who beats his wife (any examples) to create a worse evil. Men.

There is no excuse for women beating and if Mayweather was in jail it wouldn't bother me in the least. The difference between other athletes and boxers (at least in the US) is the NFL, NBA, etc have policies like a corporation does. Boxing? Not so much.

The construction worker goes to jail for 10 years, Floyd gets off 3/4 seperate charges and serves 2 months total. That's the difference. Money, power, influence over justice.

True. The sport would be so much better with a commissioner like the other main sports but that would put a lot of criminals on the street looking for work. Boxing is infested with them.

Floyd is a perfect gentleman to women compared to guys like Tyson, Leonard and Robinson.

I don't know the details of the how bad and how many, but I do know life isn't fair as JFK had said. Robinson and Leonard have physically abused women but I don't believe either have been convicted.

Pete Rose isn't in the Hall because of gambling but Ty Cobb, who did much worse, is. So it goes.

Boxing had always been populated with miscreants and thugs. People who like to be physical and fight.

That's why it was so ridiculous to ban Ali for draft evasion. Plenty other convicted criminals were routinely granted licenses.

Mayweather gets public smack because he's the wealthiest thug of them all. These days, society is always envious of the successful and wealthy.

Unless he's locked up, why the hell shouldn't FM be allowed to box?

I really can't wait until Floyd retires again, so dumbasses like you will finally STFU and move on from your idiotic jealousy/hate.
