Conor is just like Mayweather. Likes to show off his money, cars, and talks trash yet doesn't receive as much hate.
Some will say it's because Conor is more exciting but I think that's bull****.
If Mayweather was white he'd be adored.
Before this year how many people even knew who Conor McGregor was? He doesn't have nearly the fame or money of Mayweather, so the comparison is invalid and just an excuse to whine.
How the **** does he complain about a guy being ranked #4 P4P who hasn't had a single solid win in almost 3 years? Seriously, who honestly believes Andre Ward deserves to be at least #2? For crying out loud, #4 isn't even a bad rating. If anything, Floyd is the racist ****. He claims racism whenever any white fighter does well. Sad thing is, Andre Ward is half white with a white father.
Oh wait, what about Klitschko or Tyson Fury? No comment on them not being rated? But their white doe, white privilege doe, why don't they make the money FMjr. does since they are successful white fighters at the heavyweight division? Why doesn't everyone love them? Why does Klitschko get a lot of hate for being a boring fighter at times, and Fury for his ****** comments? They're white, we all love them doe.

I've also thought about Conor-Mayweather.

Well, to Conor's credit, he's been KOing all his recent opponents and doesn't have a past history of domestic abuse/hitting women. Not really the same scenario of comparison. A lot of hate FMjr receives is definitely from his past crimes. Conor: I don't know anything about him other than his KO of Aldo in like 15 seconds.
And also, him mentioning Laila Ali--- what about Holly Holm? Why wasn't she a big celebrity with her boxing success? She didn't exactly become a star overnight for being a talented white boxer...

Great point, and Holm was a much better boxer than Frauda Ali too.
Racism does exist in boxing but not the examples Floyd uses.
1. Ward just isn't fighting.
2. Floyd is the richest combat sports fighter in history. Haters alone are not responsible for that. His personality and skill to back it up was rewarded.
3. Laila Ali got plenty of attention, was in magazines and is still getting endorsement deals. Her disadvantage was coming before the social media era.
4. Crawford is getting tons of hype and is not a Haymon fighter. This is because he fights at home, is promoted properly and steps on the gas to finish fighters off when he feels he can.
Garcia had great momentum but lost at least once or twice in the eyes of many.
Kell Brook had momentum but isn't fighting anyone.
None of the examples used are because of race.
Exactly. You should be in Floyd's entourage. He'd sound like less of a dumbass if you were with him.
There's truth to what Mayweather said however Ward didn't help his situation by sitting out. Also pretty sure that some networks and promoters have issues working with Haymon fighters.
