Comments Thread For: McGregor: Calling Me a Racist Ridiculous; Mayweather Responds

[jwalkr]

Such a bullsh** artist. Manny didn't even respond when Floyd was being racist as hell toward Asians. And I think Mayweather disrespects his own family enough when he punches his wife while his son is watching & crying.

"That's not racist, calling someone who is yellow, yellow is just stating facts" - robbie w/e isaac clarke goes by now

He Is a ****ing piece of trash.

it's not ridiculous. Conor's popularity, and the UFC's pay-per-view sales are both fueled by race. Casual caucasian fans are only interested in watching fights when a caucasian is winning. When the whites are not doing well, neither are their pay-per-view numbers. That's why they have to push the Brock Lesnars, Ronda Rouseys, and Conor McGregors, despite their flaws & losses. When white fighters become a minority in the UFC, the casual fans will say "MMA is dead", the same way they try to dismiss boxing. Don't expect any casual caucasian fans to admit or acknowledge it. The truth hurts, and nobody wants to be thought of as a racist.

LOL I can't stand UFC and their fans but wtf are you on about?

Boxing is dead? Where?

[Joe Beamish]

Exactly. Floyd wasn't "young", he was 6-7 years OLDER than McGregor. And the crap he spewed was unmistakably, deliberately rascist.

The BIGGEST racists are BLACK. Take that to the bank. Anytime theres an injustice to a non caucasian it's racism. Get over it. Ridiculous. **** Floyd. I hope Conor beats the **** oot of him. And if Fraud is so bad come into the octagon. *****.

Racists don't think they're racists. They always deny it. They show it with their actions/words though.

[HURTFEELINGS]

This video shows it all. There is no misquote here, these are direct words from Mayweather. Coner also needs to STFU with his comments. Race relations get ***ed with these types of situations. Boxing doesnt need it, it is toxic to the sport. People say race sells but it doesnt sell, it divides, hate grows as the result.

Where is all of this talk, when you read what these posters post? Not specifically you, because you, you are a respected poster, but you read what these people post, and apparently alot of you are cool with it, B U T when it goes against anyone other than a black person, then its racist. if its f one, its f all

Never made fun of that dude. And Conor only won the 2nd press conference. The greatest trash talked lmaooo one two tree- Mctapout
I know y'all Europeans not used to a white fighter in the public eye but geez you guys are delusional. Every time a European fighter comes along and makes a little noise y'all swear everyone scared of them and that they are the greatest smh. Loma Rousy Mctapout Kovalev..ironically 3 out of the 4 have quit lmao

uummmmm ok. Not sure what all you talking about. Im sure its some weirdo racist **** but that just dont interest me. Conor is closning jr. Only thing jr does is repeat some lame crap about making money over and over. Sure jr gonna win a boring fight. But he cant handle conor trash talking. He ******ly let him steal his bag, he made fun of irs stuff. Rubbed his little head. And acted like he was spanking him, and just all around bully clowning him. And its fun to watch after all jr has said and done lmao. Having said that i hope jr wins fight for boxing. Simple enough huh?

I'm one of what I am seeing as a rare person here who cringes when racism or racial slurs are directed towards any and all types of people. If I see someone calling whites, blacks, mexicans very disparaging racially fueled names, I get them banned. I feel equally enraged for all races, nationalities, colors when someone does this. I have had too many great friendships and experiences with such a wide range of people to not feel for others when someone spits out racial slurs against them. And when this happens in Boxing, it gets to me because not only is it not needed, not warranted, it is toxic and no matter what anyone says, even in sports, it sets back race relations every single time and becomes very serious. It creates resentment, fights outside the ring, on the streets. A no win situation.
