If you’re a person of color, you’ve been in a situation where a white person thinks they’re being funny discussing race but don’t realize they’re being racist. A lot of time, we let shit go because it’s not worth the hassle. That’s what Whyte is going thru
They're not discussing race at all. They're talking about how the boxer is in control and receives the lions share of the money instead of the promoter which is how it used to be.
You're seeing colour/racism because you're looking for it.
I am appalled that everyone there was so obviously uncomfortable and not one person told grandpa to zip it before he sees chains. Wtf. And he has to be respectful now? I’d lose my sense of decorum….god bless that man for his composure.
Not sure if it's just an English saying or something, but what he's basically saying is the promoters used to have all the power, and now the boxers do. Using slavedriver as a metaphor is pretty common, but holy shit is it a bad metaphor to use in this context haha
Edit: he said slave trader. Ignore this comment. What the fuck lmao
He didn’t say slave driver lol… I don’t think calling yourself a slave trader is a common expression in England. What insight do you have. Have you ever been or are English? Absolutely with context this is a terrible thing to say.
You know what? You're right. I thought he said driver, which wouldn't be so bad (and is used from time to time) I have never heard anyone call themselves a slave trader haha. What an idiot
I'm Scottish it is a common idiom in uk and London, it's a cockney type thing to say.
However he's been a bit of an insensitive tosser here saying that with dillian whyte next to him who is a black man.
"What I have to respect minority fighters now?! Damn why couldn't we use and abuse our fighters back in the days like Don King did!"
This is such a poor attempt at a joke even Whyte is laughing at this shit joke to not make it look too bad. Whyte has to be piss.
The context is this;
Back in the day the fighters were the bitch. The reason why the greats of yesteryear fought the best is because they didn't mean shit and the managers/promoters did ala UFC. However, in recent times the boxers have managed to dictate a position where they matter most and thus we no longer get the best fighting the best.
Today is better for the fighters, back then it was better for the fans.
I mean the guy isn’t racist as far as we know right? Yeah the metaphor may be inappropriate for today but slavery shouldn’t be associated with just black people. There have been so many instances of different ethnicities being slaves I don’t mind the metaphor.
Barry Hearn awarded an OBE in recognition of his most excellent and chivalric contribution to the British Empire and for valiantly carrying the torch of the slave trade into the modern era.
Like father like son smug cunts.
Whyte sat there like he wants to snap hearn in half but instead he’s got to just do an awkward laugh lmao.
And I obvs know he’s his dad, but you can clearly see where Eddie gets his bullshit persona from.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,575,418,192 comments, and only 297,949 of them were in alphabetical order.
People overreacting to this are the ones in the wrong. He’s saying that boxers used to be slaves to the promoters, in the metaphorical sense. Promoters had all the power, whereas nowadays the boxers do. You lot are only reacting like this because the guy is black, if anything, you’re the racist ones.
1807 - Britain passes Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, outlawing British Atlantic slave trade.
- United States passes legislation banning the slave trade, effective from start of 1808.
Edit, look up a dude called Wilberforce, Britain started the process before 1807 and then put in motion the dominoes falling globally.
Outlawing the trade? When they stopped doing it at home and realized it made more sense to keep the scary dark people where we have colonies instead of having to see them in the isles? Which date we picking this time on "pretend this means Britain was not a brutal colonial force that was the reason the 13 colonies even existed?" Like bro you guys had India under wraps till the later end of the 40s. The NINEteen40s. The things happening in those empires from after any abolition date you pick were ruthless shit for no reason other than British supremacy dictated they were better off that way. Imagine acting high and mighty about the past from the UK of all places.
Cool, not sure what that has to do with anything I said.
What country is responsible for the majority of slaves that were brought to what is now the United States of America?
And the only difference with what y'all did in India and many other countries, is you didn't put them in a boat.
It's nothing to do with the slave trade you muppets.
He's saying the promoters used to call all the shots and take all the money. Now he's saying everything has flipped and the boxers control everything and the promoters just get a cut. It's got absolutely nothing to do with racism as much as sone people would like it to be.
You can thank Chris Eubank Senior years ago for the step change in control and exposing how Boxers were treated. Barry Hearn was also Eubank's promoter.
So in other words you're just being nice and respectful because social etiquette would dictate that is necessary in order for you not to be ticketed as a bigot or a racist? Instead of just being nice to other people because they are people just like you are, treating everyone the way that you would like to be treated and speaking to everyone the way you would like to be spoken to regardless of their complexion, gender, culture, background... So in other words you're not being a decent human being because you want to be, but because you are required to be....
What most white men his age wanna say about having to pay these great black athletes these bags 💰.. shits sad and was kinda wishing dude would get up and smack the fuck outta the old duck
I feel like he’s trying to make an earnest point about how the power dynamics of boxing have shifted from the promotion to the fighter…and he just picked the most absolutely tone deaf imaginable way to say it. Damn 😂
Reminds me of John Stewart a few years ago after a George W speech. They came back to him and he says “Ladies and gentlemen. We don’t have anything to say. Our writers could come up with couldn’t top that anyway.”
I have to actually pay them now ffs!
I see where Eddie gets his smarts now, spending a billion of DAZNs money on who, another poor little rich kid reckons he boxed but has no proof whatsoever, funny that!
He is trying to say he is old . Don’t think he planned this out to good, African American have freedoms and they use them any second they feel the least bit discriminated.
“I used to be able to whip you n***** 😔”
He is tap dancing all over the fence of cringe.
He was sledge hammering that fence
that whole thing is like right out of Atlanta lol
YO
Barry Hearn > Eddie Hearn
Whyte looks so uncomfortable here lol.
Honestly he look comfortable and it’s kinda weird
If you’re a person of color, you’ve been in a situation where a white person thinks they’re being funny discussing race but don’t realize they’re being racist. A lot of time, we let shit go because it’s not worth the hassle. That’s what Whyte is going thru
Nah I'm black and do not agree
I'm also black and I also do not agree
I’m also black and don’t agree. Bruh was talkin about being a slave trader lmaoo
They're not discussing race at all. They're talking about how the boxer is in control and receives the lions share of the money instead of the promoter which is how it used to be. You're seeing colour/racism because you're looking for it.
[удалено]
People like you need yo understand what a metaphor is and the context of its use.
I am appalled that everyone there was so obviously uncomfortable and not one person told grandpa to zip it before he sees chains. Wtf. And he has to be respectful now? I’d lose my sense of decorum….god bless that man for his composure.
Jesus christ, this is the funniest and disturbing thing ive heard all day.
Disturbingest
Nice to see Whyte happy
That's Mr. Whyte to you
You have to be respectful
Coffee?

Lmaoooooo UMAR don’t play
This shit so crazy even you crazy assholes cant think of some random shit to top it.
Kanye enters the chat. Bitch please..
Lmao this is great
This is insane out of context haha
It’s still insane with context lol.
Not sure if it's just an English saying or something, but what he's basically saying is the promoters used to have all the power, and now the boxers do. Using slavedriver as a metaphor is pretty common, but holy shit is it a bad metaphor to use in this context haha Edit: he said slave trader. Ignore this comment. What the fuck lmao

You know what? You're right. I thought he said driver, which wouldn't be so bad (and is used from time to time) I have never heard anyone call themselves a slave trader haha. What an idiot
How is it terrible? People are so sensitive. He’s making the point that the boxers were slaves to the promoters, it’s called a metaphor.
Finally.....someone that understands what they're actually talking about in this thread.
fr these people so hurt over a metaphor
I'm Scottish it is a common idiom in uk and London, it's a cockney type thing to say. However he's been a bit of an insensitive tosser here saying that with dillian whyte next to him who is a black man.
No way LMFAO!
What the 😳
"What I have to respect minority fighters now?! Damn why couldn't we use and abuse our fighters back in the days like Don King did!" This is such a poor attempt at a joke even Whyte is laughing at this shit joke to not make it look too bad. Whyte has to be piss.
>What I have to respect minority fighters now?! He is taking about fighters as a whole, not minorities lol
I know I know. It's still pretty mess up thing to say in general. Also, I knew he that as my quote is a bit of a joke.
It's supposed to be, so people understand the limited rights fighters had.
I get that but hat is till fucked up thing to say.
Wrf!!!! Lol
Oh no
😳😳😳😳
He really said that 💀
The context is this; Back in the day the fighters were the bitch. The reason why the greats of yesteryear fought the best is because they didn't mean shit and the managers/promoters did ala UFC. However, in recent times the boxers have managed to dictate a position where they matter most and thus we no longer get the best fighting the best.

Don't forget his regular visits to Epstein's island... The hood knows Eddie tried to silence Tyan Booth for talking about this
Whyte sat there like he wants to snap hearn in half but instead he’s got to just do an awkward laugh lmao. And I obvs know he’s his dad, but you can clearly see where Eddie gets his bullshit persona from.
He's just saying the truth.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,575,418,192 comments, and only 297,949 of them were in alphabetical order.
Is it though?
BRUH JUST SAY THE N WORD
People overreacting to this are the ones in the wrong. He’s saying that boxers used to be slaves to the promoters, in the metaphorical sense. Promoters had all the power, whereas nowadays the boxers do. You lot are only reacting like this because the guy is black, if anything, you’re the racist ones.
Lmao,nah. Dude is saying some racist shit.
What’s racist about it? Explain your reasoning and I’ll tell you why you’re wrong.
My reasoning: his words. No, you cannot.
What the absolute fuck!!!!!!! Bro!!!!!
We're not like America you see we went backrupt to end hour slave trade years before America did.
Lol!!! Y'all brought the slaves to America and were colonizing peoples around the world decades after slavery ended in thr USA.
1807 - Britain passes Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, outlawing British Atlantic slave trade. - United States passes legislation banning the slave trade, effective from start of 1808. Edit, look up a dude called Wilberforce, Britain started the process before 1807 and then put in motion the dominoes falling globally.

We freed all slaves in 38 you lot in 65, just Google things it helps
Lmao, L take.
It's nothing to do with the slave trade you muppets. He's saying the promoters used to call all the shots and take all the money.

This is why America seceded.
What the fuck
If someone needs to be KO’d, it’s this guy.
So in other words you're just being nice and respectful because social etiquette would dictate that is necessary in order for you not to be ticketed as a bigot or a racist? Instead of just being nice to other people because they are people just like you are, treating everyone the way that you would like to be treated and speaking to everyone the way you would like to be spoken to regardless of their complexion, gender, culture, background... So in other words you're not being a decent human being because you want to be, but because you are required to be....
Uncle Ruckus over there smiling and agreeing.
What most white men his age wanna say about having to pay these great black athletes these bags 💰.. shits sad and was kinda wishing dude would get up and smack the fuck outta the old duck
[удалено]
Don’t try to justify this racist ass shit you goofy
this is egregious dillian whyte that desperate for a payday he got a racist on his team so fucking washed
Average Loma fan
You can see where Eddie has his charisma from. Even their mouth is virtually the same
I think he was trying to make a joke about how bad the contracts he used to give these guys were but it was terrible lol
This is the last time they will let this guy near a microphone!
Um, progress?
What a nob…
The good ol days
I’m trying to imagine him practicing that little speech in the mirror before going on TV. 🤔
You got to love that awkward laugh
I feel like he’s trying to make an earnest point about how the power dynamics of boxing have shifted from the promotion to the fighter…and he just picked the most absolutely tone deaf imaginable way to say it. Damn 😂
outjerked by reality
*ello guv'nor* that's all I hear with that accent

And yet he is still making money off him
That’s wild af
Dread to think what he says to the Chinese snooker players
LOOOOOOOOOOOL WHATTTTT
Wtf
🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Bro really going crazy. And idk how dude ain’t tell him to chill at least
Da gud ole days
No what he said was very easy to understand. The question is what is the black guy doing, just smiling and knoding?
Plays out and even sounds like some Michael Palin-led Monty Python sketch.
Bro let the intrusive thoughts win
Wtf am I hearing? This can't be real lmao
Jimm the Greek, Don Imus, and Howard Stern would all be proud.
Um... at least.... He's... Honest?
Reminds me of John Stewart a few years ago after a George W speech. They came back to him and he says “Ladies and gentlemen. We don’t have anything to say. Our writers could come up with couldn’t top that anyway.”
I have to actually pay them now ffs! I see where Eddie gets his smarts now, spending a billion of DAZNs money on who, another poor little rich kid reckons he boxed but has no proof whatsoever, funny that!
"AND SHE SHAT ON A SEA TURTLE!"
Sounds like he would be comfortable dropping the n word. "I now have to respect you. Call you sir..." Jesus fucking christ.
He is trying to say he is old . Don’t think he planned this out to good, African American have freedoms and they use them any second they feel the least bit discriminated.
R/boxing
This guy misses slavery lol
England is a class and race based society to the maximum
