Why do people still say Boxing is a Black sport?

When Eastern Europeans are dominating the Heavyweight class.

Mostly those whose countries were part of the great USSR.

It's not a black people sport, I have a video on my youtube page and Mayweather says it's not a "white mans" sport, he says its mostly dominated by mexicans and blacks.

He's not going by there fight record, hes talking about that the black and mexicans fighter are getting paid the most, 15 million and up and most white fighters barely get over 5 million.

The thing that is so great about boxing is that anyone of any race can be a champion. It's not a black, Fillipino, Mexican, European, or any group sport. Now every groupo has had great representitive and champions that their people can be proud of. Yet, this is a social lesson that courage, determination, and hard work are not exclusive to any group.
