KEY POINTS:
Recently retired boxer Floyd Mayweather jnr has accused the American pay-TV channel Home Box Office of bias against him and other black fighters.
The 31-year-old former world champion and Olympic bronze medallist from Grand Rapids said HBO "is great", but criticised its boxing analysts.
"They talk about Kelly Pavlik, a white fighter, like he's the second coming. Or they go crazy over Manny Pacquiao. But I'm a black fighter," Mayweather said.
"Is it racial? Absolutely. They praise white fighters, they praise Hispanic fighters, whatever. But black fighters, they never praise."
