UFC Featherchampion Conor McGregor has taken the fight world by storm. An Irish, barely-able-to-make-out-his-words, storm. He became insanely popular to the point where people from Ireland will travel to Vegas every time he fights. So of course, there has to be racism involved. You know, at least according to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
“I don’t really know the McGregor guy; never seen him fight. I heard his name actually from one of the runners that works for our company; a little kid named Ken Hopkins, he’s a runner and takes care of a lot of the daily business. Whatever we need, he takes care of. He’s a cool little kid, I like him, and he does MMA. He told me about the guy McGregor. They say he talk a lot of trash and people praise him for it, but when I did it, they say I’m cocky and arrogant. So biased! Like I said before, all I’m saying is this, I ain’t racist at all, but I’m telling you racism still exists”.
As a general rule? “I’m not racist, but…” is usually a sign that you are, in fact, racist. And while of course still exists, it’s kind of really pathetic to use that to dismiss someone else’s popularity when compared with your own.
Especially when “you” is a barely literate, wife-beating midget whose known more recently for fighting in tabloids (with women) than fighting in rings.
So even though Conor McGregor trash talks just like Floyd Mayweather, he doesn’t have the same history of domestic abuse. He’s also newer to the scene, having just won the championship last month. Naturally, people are more excited about a prodigy when he is still in fact, a prodigy. This just goes back to the same point we’ve always made. If you see everything through the prism of race, sex and orientation, don’t complain when everybody else sees you as nothing more than your race, sex or orientation.
Because that led to such a uniting, culturally productive 2015. Watch more about that below.
People do in fact call McGregor arrogant. People do in fact hate him and love him. He is a polarizing individual who performs exceptionally well under pressure. And does so with a very high level of skill. He also has an the entire country of Ireland behind him. A country with few international stars. That is why he is popular. Of course, free thinking individuals already knew that.
gaywetha is a wife beater stop posting crap no one cares . . mma is real boxing is a dance for cash all points for money the score card is every thing in boxing it is rigged and political dana white is not into the politics and crap this is what keeps mma real the arts , , the martial arts ,,not some criminal black or white promoters with cash in mind ,, betting and rigging go back a long way in boxing floyd is the worst un entertaining fighter in the world ,, the whole shoulder defense is sissy like and has no skill for tko boxing is the reason that mma is so huge there is no bs ………..
Floydayweather is the worst racist in sports in history.
Mayweather could last 2 minutes in the ring with McGregor!
When McGregor fights, he deals damage. When mayweather fights, he runs and counters and if possible, sucker punches. If McGregor fought himself it would be a show. If Floyd fought himself, no punch would be thrown.
This is a great read. Floyd is a tool and I always look forward to the day we all see him lying unconscious on the mat…
Maybe instead of passing the racism card,again like a lot of people do, Floyd would use some of his ridiculous millions to advance his fellow black man.But because he’s a lot like other fake people he could only care what sells. Like talkin shit.that’s who we are though, never happy,always playing cards!!
Fm full of shit
Hey Floyd, Dr. King’s dream was that aLL people would be judged on the content of their character, not their skin color or ethnic makeup.
The content of what McGregor says (and then does) is why people like him. They think you’re an asshole for the content of what you say and then do.
Your fight with Manny Pacquiao was boring and you did it for the payday. Connor entertained more in 13 seconds than you did in 12 rounds. Entertainment is key in boxing because it’s not a real fight — there’s no grappling, no kicking, 10oz gloves. You were afraid that if you actually boxed Manny, you’d lose. 12 rounds of shelling up… pathetic.
It’s not racism. You’re just a poor sportsman and a shitty person. Watch Connor reap all the love YOU don’t deserve.
Hello,
Everyone that talks about Floyd Mayweather negative is nowhere closed to making the money in this world or any other world to come. The main reason of talking trash about this professional boxer is because they are jealous of his skills. All of you all need to get a life. If McGregor was in the ring with Floyd Mayweather in box, McGregor would be on his back within seconds. Ask Ronda Rousey? Oh, she got knocked out by a professional boxer with kickboxing skills. The sad part concerning the truth, each one of you already knows that about Mayweather. He is undefeated in his professional called boxing instead of a kind of dogfight called MMA. Again never compare the two fighter.
Have you always been this clueless? Floyd wouldn’t last a round in an MMA fight. He just doesn’t like sharing the spot light with anyone else. This guy is a joke, just in it for the money. And who knows about the RR fight. They could have staged her losing on purpose. If she were to have won then who would she of fought next? This way there is going to be a rematch and a lot of money to be made and if RR wins a really close one then they can have another rematch it is called PR in a field where there really isn’t a lot of competition.
You can all kiss my revel dick…
Well i’d like to say every man has an opinion just as all the hating comments that come from fans. I really don’t call people racist because as humans we all have likes and dislikes this doesn’t necessarily making you a racist until you act out your thoughts towards that person in a hateful way…I see a lot of People hate Floyd and talk about his domestic past because that’s what people want to remember. We all make mistakes including McGregor they are both good at what they do and in the Real World we need to stop comparing these 2 different sports MMA is to mix up the art and skill one has to beat his opponent Boxing is more calculated punches to open up your opponent to get the big hit either way they are not comparable in any sense and I just hope that the fans of the fighting scene will soon stop comparing…But this is my own opinion n 2 cents to add to all the other nickels n pennies thrown into this news feed good day fans and enjoy
Floyd ain’t racist. That’s dumb to even say. He helps out people of every color.
Its ironic but by calling Mayweather a barely literate wife beating midget you unintentionally proved exactly what Floyd Mayweather was saying, White people like you like to focus on his mistakes but if I am correct there is a fighter in the MMA who was convicted of beating his spouse and you hardly hear about it. In short, your determination to portray Mayweather in a negative light despite his achievements shows how correct he is, that he deals with racism just like many other people of color in America.
I guess this is the website for conservatives who hate black people. The writer of this tried to bring up every negative comment he could make about Mayweather instead of attacking the credibility of what he said. Instead he attacked him for his actions out of the ring. Any fool knows that when it comes to Boxing, Floyd has proven his boxing skills again and again. It seems your statements prove that Mayweather was exactly correct that he also has to deal with racism. Your article was more about hatred for Floyd then anything else and not addressing whether or not what he said had any validity.
Amen Derrick
So true man. This article wants to bring up mayweathers domestics against women instead of talking about the main topic of the statement witch is really pathetic.And Though Conor McGregor has never put his hands on an women,there are so many MMA fighter who have history of domestic violence against women including Ronda Rouseys boyfriend who’s also an MMA fighter, yet the Media doesn’t bring it up at all witch makes me wonder if racism actually plays an part of all this nonsense.domestic violence is an serious issue regardless of who the person is,but I think it’s odd when articles like this tend to use that against only some individuals who are only making a differentan point of view.
Biased nonsense…
BOYd Mayweather, “racist” is the new “N” word. Been racist long, “racist”? Did you see what I did, BOYd?
