Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) has been on a roll as of late with his interviewed thoughts on racism.

Last week he created viral headlines when discussing what he perceives to be an ongoing issue with racism in combat sports and used fighters like Gennady Golovkin, Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor as direct examples of athletes who are receiving favorable treatment due to their skin color.

The retired pound-for-pound king is now hitting out at the mainstream media. He feels the media is paying too much attention to the legal troubles of comedian and actor Bill Cosby, while largely ignoring the widespread problem of police brutality. Cosby is being accused by at least a dozen or so women of drugging them and then committing sexually assaults, but nearly every accusation has to do with an incident which took place way beyond the statute of limitations.

Cosby has only been charged in one case, which is twelve years old and he is free on a $1 million bail pending trial.

“Racism still exists. What (Cosby) did is not right but there’s so much police brutality out there – that’s things that we don’t talk about,” Mayweather said during a TMZ interview. “There’s a lot of young black males and females being killed by police, being beat up by police. But those are things that we don’t talk about. We’d rather talk about stuff with Bill Cosby that happened 30 or 40 years ago.”

Choosing his words very carefully on a sensitive topic, Mayweather did not go as far as to allege that Cosby was being singled out due to his skin color.

“I don’t really know (if the prosecution is racially motivated),” Mayweather said. “I’m far from racist. I like and love everyone. I think there’s more important things in the world that we need to worry about over something that happened 30 or 40 years ago.”
