Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather's Talk of Racism, McGregor Goes Viral

[-Kev-]

My point was probably shouldn't have a guy up front saying racism is bad, but then the first thing everybody will bring up is his racist video

Malcom X was a former gang member, eventually talking about peace and equality.

People change.

He's talking nonsense on this situation.

Mayweather was a tremendous fighter, but a lot of people did find him boring. He also had a number of domestic issues, prison stints and he never gave particularly good interviews...despite all of that he made over $500million from boxing.

McGregor on the other hand is clearly more intelligent and talks better, he's a very exciting fighter with a 95% finish rate and an undefeated UFC record, he interviews much better and never gets in trouble.

It's no surprise that the guy who promises KO's against top level opposition and then delivers them in exciting fashion gets praise.

although floyd didnt express it correctly he's got a point..racism is real in the youtube boxing community..that is the most hardcore lane..its real on here as well..
one guy made a response to this and said named all the fighters floyd called out that dont get attention...
then he proceeds to say how much they are talked about, but his last 20 videos have 13 GGG titles..keep in mind floyd said about 10 names...how does ggg get ten videos..if he's not correct and u dont have videos on these other guys??

this is exactly wat floyd means..u just made a different in crap talkin...u hold one issue over the man's head forever like he hit you..if hte owman he hit forgave him who are u to still push the law of hate on him?

its an illness to think like that. that a man has to suffer for every mistake forever..

great point...and also they throw the first stone and then cry when a stone is thrown back...his video is proof that racism exist bc they called him n word this n word that all through it lol..no one cared...they just jumped on the return fire..anyone denying this issue is a closet race baiter/racist

floyd aint perfect and just bc he has more money than u doesnt mean wat u do first shouldnt count..

Everyone knows racism exists. However it's now practiced covertly rather than overtly. Mayweather is horrible at public speaking so it's no surprise that he wasn't able to identify and discuss the complexities of the problem. Ward touched on some of the same issues regarding racism but with more guile and tact.

Regarding McGregor, he's is more articulate than Mayweather but that doesn't automatically mean he's more intelligent. Mayweather guided his career masterfully which shouldn't be discounted....McGregor is charismatic in and out of the ring but the jury is still out on the impact his career will have on MMA.

the race card is a card that can be overplayed yet a card that can be played just right...
a woman asked a room full of whites: if any of you would like to be treated like blacks please stand up....THE ROOM REMAINED SEATED!

but there's also things that us as blacks do that can bring some bS on ourselves..not just in boxing but in real life...but in boxing a guy like ward should have been active no matter wat and they couldnt deny him...rigo as well, but it is there profession they done that already and had already beat some of the bst when they were asked to go backwards...
i dont see white or mexicans who beat the best then get told to take a step back..

I think Ward's stance was respectable. History has repeatedly shown that boxers need to take a more active role in the financial end of their careers. Ward put his money and career where his mouth was and made sure the business side of things were to his satisfaction.

boohoo, I only made $500 million dollars from people paying to watch me, more than anyone else but America is so racist

US has a Black president and gives more free money (welfare) to Blacks per capita than any other race

boohoo, it is so bad, I wake up and see racism everywhere

What would have happened if someone stood up? They'd have gotten an EBT card and a Section 8 housing allowance?


that's a BS story anyway, anybody can make up something ****** like that:

A woman asked a room full of blacks: if any of you would like to be treated like whites please stand up, but you have to work 8+ hours a day 5 days a week ....THE ROOM REMAINED SEATED!
