In a recent interview, Floyd Mayweather Jr. declared that “all lives matter” and explained why he thinks Colin Kaepernick should stop protesting and focus more on getting the “starting job.”
The retired boxing champion broke his silence on the racial tension in America while speaking with “The Boxing Voice.”
“I’m here to say all lives matter. A lot of times we get stuck, and we are followers. You hear one person say, ‘Black lives matter’ or ‘blue lives matter’… all lives matter,” Mayweather said.
Good for him!
He’s a son of my home city, and it’s good to see that the type of race-baiting we generally do not tolerate here in W. Michigan is still with him.
Floyd? Really? This is indeed a STRANGE election.
But good for him.
GREAT boxer.
I could have beat him in my prime.
If they let me bring a bat into the ring :)
He did a great service to the members of his race, and the citizens of this nation with those comments.
Yeah. Money Mayweather does or says something good for once.
Pretty ballsy by Mayweather cause he is NOT like Lebron, I don’t think he has any endorsement deals like Lebron. Lebron was smart not to sit cause he knows his endorsement deals will start to drop if he sat!
Actually, if everybody had ignored Colon Kopperdink, he’d have been forgotten. Now he’s going to be starting QB. It would be a real shame if the 49’ers lost by 40 points.
Brave guy, watch your back.

Me too - I'm quite astonished
Wow!.....................
I was rooting for Green Bay the other night, and I am a Cowboys fan!..............
If he was even born. The bat wouldn't have been necessary!
What weight class would you have fought him? He started as a featherweight and fought up to junior middle.
By the, one of my favourite boxers was Ray Mancini. Also I was a big fan of Top Rank Boxing and one of my favourites was Johnny ‘The Heat’ Verderosa a kid out of Staten Island.
I hope the Giants use this MF’s head for a field goal attempt or maybe if they rip it off his neck they can spike it in the end zone.
Same here!
I didn’t see that one coming.
I will be rooting for Green Bay this Sunday, I am a Giant fan.
i’m 48 and he’s 39.
I stopped around 26ish so he would have only been 17.
And he would have killed me :)
He was never the same after he killed that boxer. What a nightmare for all involved.
I wouldn’t have never fought in those weight classes.
I was a solid 210 at 5 11. now i’m a mushy ###. wont tell the number!! :)
