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

[buge]

He's right. Blacks and other ********** have to do 110% more to get 50% of the accolades that a white person would get. To give one example look at Mike Lee getting tv commercials despite having done next to nothing to deserve them.

Life can be hard for everyone just on its own. But it sucks when you have to deal with double standards and prejudice too, on top of the normal hardships.

Gotta be strong and push on despite the unfairness though.

you have a victim mentality

when you wake up and realize that it's not true, then you'll be better off

or continue to cry yourself to sleep over the boogeyman in the closet, and keep voting 95%+ ******** since they have done so good by you

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..

What're you talking about? How does it prove what he "means". McGregor has been called ****y for his words. People have been annoyed by his antics. Yet there will be the fans who will defend it. Did Maywether not have supporters who shot down negative comments about his behavior? Oh, but when another's is defended by some, all of a sudden it's a "race" thing.

I'm starting to think the hate Floyd has recieved in his career bothers him more than he doesn't want people to believe. Conor seems to take his in stride. The problem with Mayweather is he'll say he doesn't follow a particular person or sport, but will act like he knows what's going around them or it.

Who the **** cares about his opinion?

Apparently boxingscene.com

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!

I don't know how your not banned! This is ridiculous! Every race has trash! Whites, blacks, Hispanics exct. Your perception of black people is preposterous and I bet you would never say the things your saying to a black mans face

The real problem, or realism, is the context of the article.

Most people could agree and say, "Mayweather is correct, Leila Ali should've been decorated in media hype or sex symbolism like Rousey, but we can't be 100% correct it's because of racism. "

Racism and favoritism could go hand in hand if we are honest about things.

Dude you just called GGG cute? So do you not think Ward has a CUTE SMILE? Do you think broken English is more marketable than a intelligent well spoken man? I'll give you the active part but your marketability reasons are bull####! I don't think your racist but there is some biases. And Roy and Floyd are correct when they call it like they see it! Racism isn't always blatant but you have to be a black man in America to even understand

So what if I called him cute? I'm comfortable with my sexuality. Perhaps you have some skeletons in your closet? Ward is for sure intelligent and speaks well, but he just isn't a STAR! He doesn't have that kind of personality. I'm a white man from Northern Ireland, I'm a musician and nearly all of my heroes are black. For sure I can never understand what it's like, but like I said, it's a horrible thing that needs to be wiped out. The marketability thing I stand by, GGG is likeable and he knocks mother****er OUT! Floyd's one of my favourite fighters, I've been watching his fights all morning, but Ward is not worthy of the p4p spot, let's see what he does against Kovalev, grab all night I expect.

Yeah, this is right.

What a worthless piece of racist **** Mayweather is.
He just needs to stfu and go to bed hugging his money.

I respect Floyd's talent as a boxer and as a businessman. I think hes an all time great talent but the guy has to be one of the most socially inept, inarticulate public figures I've ever seen. He's right about racism still existing in boxing but the guy does not know how to form an argument at all. He's right about social bias but he needs to learn how to communicate.

I remember he once said that Adrien Broner needed to learn when to turn it on and when to turn it off but Floyd needs to take his own advice. He needs to follow Al Haymon and shut the f**k up.

[TrueBoxingFan23]

Nope. Actually black boxers can say "I'll never let a white boy beat me" or stuff about Asians(I'm looking at you, Floyd) without backlash, whereas you know what would happen if a white boxer said that about any type of minority. Just look at the ball busting Kovalev had to endure due to his tweet about Stevenson, which didn't even mention race whatsoever. So even if what you claim is true, they cancel eachother out. Race is not an issue in boxing anymore.

You are so ignorant! Tell me when you've ever heard a black boxer day that on live TV or a interview or social network! Krusher called Stevenson a monkey! That's one of the most racial things he could say! Your logic is very flawed, but I'm threw with boxing scene, it's way to many ignorant, casual fan, biased, racist post! It's ridiculous!
