    ? stay hating on black fighters

    i always support my black ppl and i will always support black fighters.....but the fighter has to be worthy of being supported.

    i honestly want him to get himself together....he seems to have talent...but being too cocky too early will invite an early exit an i dont want to see another talented fighter work for UPS.

    personally i hate seeing wasted talent....kinda like an a sexy stripper who has all the right moves but cant take a dikk.

    Lol I guess you and I are in the minority, bro. 140 aint ? for Broner, imo. I feel his toughest fight at 140 may be against Matthysse *shrugs* I was also in the minority when I said Garcia would knock Khan the ? out, and we all know how that ended Lol I dont think Broner is "green" at all. Like I said before, his all around skill level >>>> any ? fighting at 140 right now. I'll agree to disagree with the majority and keep it moving :tu

    50 cent and de la hoya beefin on twitter haha...

    Oscar tweeted, "Everyone wanting to be a boxing promoter? Good luck. Easier said then done."

    his single statement sent 50 into a Twitter tirade:

    @oscardelahoya sweet heart I'm surprised you would respond to me and Floyd starting company the way you did.
    @oscardelahoya girl you can call me if you want to talk. Ok
    @oscardelahoya now every body wants to be a promoter girl you better stop.
    @oscardelahoya I don't gamble floyd do,but I bet you you won't be promoting Floyd mayweather no more. TMT PROMOTIONS
    @oscardelahoya I just want you to know if you ever want to talk you can give me a call girl
    Baby girl,@oscardelahoya,baby girl you here me,stop hating STOP IT RIGH NOW.

    Oscar replies:

    @50cent your a boxing promoter? Didn't know,but good luck maybe we can work someday. #success #nextgeneration #GBB #TMT

    alot of black fighters dont have to be like that.....

    broner can have all his antics...just dont make a mockery of the sport...he's not built like that yet.
    now when he gets up there then more power to him....but right now....he needs to get it together

    50 CENT: "THERE ARE SOME LEGITIMATE REASONS TO WORRY. IT'S VERY RARE THAT I FAIL"

    "I find it very interesting that he would respond that way because I thought he was into fighters creating promotional companies. A company for the fighters; I thought that's what Golden Boy was supposed to be...I think there are some legitimate reasons to worry. It's very rare that I fail," stated rapper, actor and entrepreneur 50 Cent, who spoke exclusively to FightHype.com about the reason why he recently made comments on his official Twitter page directed towards Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya. Check it out!

    he does have it together.... I didnt like the unprofessionalism of not making weight but with that said he pulled a power move just lie Floyd did vsJMM... He said ? draining myself for a few pounds and risk losing and Ill double ur pay and move up. It is what it is. All he has to do is keep winning. His antics got him something other black fighters like Russell, Dawson Dirrell,Bradley,ALexander, Ward,etc... will never have which is exposeure to casual fans now along with hate from others who dont like that attiude.

    Not all boxers are successful going that route. And I think it's legitmate if people have an issue with his corny swag! We all know boxing is about self promotion but there's some that respect the sport and do it with alot more taste then others..

    as much flack as i have given Floyd, i dont think he would ever have katz in the ring brushing his hair...or getting down on one knee and asking his girl to bush his hair..that was wack

    and it aint got ish to do with race....
