    :lol: no. Why would that cause outrage? Maybe your racist grandpa would be outraged by it though.

    What's curious is your notion that far and wide tv is orchestrated for white people. I agree Hollywood studios and tv stations are largely run by white men (this particular industry which likes to lecture America regularly is ironically trailing most industries when it comes to diversity). But I disagree that programming isn't diverse. Children's shows. Sports casting. Sit-coms. Movies. All of these go out of their way to be inclusive and have been working towards it since the 90's. To hear you say it's all white sounds to me like some kind of liberal mantra ...programmed into you. How else to explain a perception so divorced from reality?

    But that isn't what I think at all

    my point was that there's not any need for a niche TV channel specifically geared towards whites because we can find ourselves represented to a substantial (note I'm not saying "exclusive") degree on basically every channel besides the ones specifically geared towards a small group of people (like BET or channels dedicated to Jews, Latinos, Asians, etc) ... I'm not saying "the TV is largely racist and only designed for whites by whites" ...

    Better late than not at all. HBO are competing with PBC now. They can't showcase garbage. Even Sho turned down Khan-Algieri.

    From what i done-read-once only like one of the overall top 10 viewed shows on tele were also among the top 10 watched by blecks. And i think that was monday night football. Very distinct demographic, innit.

    I always wondered, why would white men NOT Have these jobs..........:dunno:

    As it happens, Jews run TV and Hollywood, not "Whitey" in the traditional sense.

    He's obviously a huge puncher, but I don't see the natural fluidity in him that Kov has.

    And amateur fights be damned. Kov has a style that was more made for the pro's anyway.

    If they fight right now Kov fucks him up.

    Maybe it's a different story say 2 yrs from now.

    You can see in their physiques that Kovalev would be more fluid. He looks like a bunch of wet rags, Bebertiev looks shorter, more built.

    I liked it when it showed music videos back in the 90s, same with MTV.

    Does either station even show music videos?

    To me, Beterbiev looks perhaps the better technician although he isn't as proven as Kovalev. Difficult to tell who hits harder, I think Kovalev mainly since he is the biggest puncher of the game, but Beterbiev might overtake him. I think the main difference is that Kovalev is the cooler and more calculating in his approach while Beterbiev tries to kill you with every shot. So far I pick Kovalevv too, but damn what a fight would it be

    Agree with all. As often as Pascal landed, it would be no surprise to see Beterbiev starch him.

    Ward isn't saving anything. He's one of the most boring elite fighters ever.

    Seriously, Ward's next opponent might be Paul Smith.

    He fought Calzaghes leftovers in Kessler, now he's going for Chunkys leftovers in Smith.
