What's with the notion that we should root for Floyd just because he's a boxer?

    I think floyd will win very easily.. easiest fight of his life
    but if Connor was to somehow pull an upset, i'd be happy

        Why cant it just be about sports, The floyd fan influx destroyed boxing, it sucks too, everything is racism this and that and hating on non blacks calling them frauds or bums in retaliation for the criticism Floyd gets.
        My god you are pathetic. You don't get to be a victim when you called another poster a black power fl0wm0 and posted that a 7incher is "huge for an Asian man."

          I don't work with that guy anymore but I can only imagine what would I have to go through right now if I did.

          Now I'm not interested in this fight at all because I know what the result will be. But I'm rooting for Floyd even though i dont like him and most likely will not watch this circus.

          If McGregor pulled off the upset though...I don't even wanna think about what would happen to this sport. It'd be a disaster.
          It really get's to me, I don't know why I let it but I do.

          I'm a Floyd fan but I literally have never cared if he loses, that's boxing. Seen all my favourites lose.

          But if he loses THIS fight. Yes I will care. Massively actually.

          Because this is boxing's integrity on the line.

            The boy deserves to be humiliated, it would be fantastic if McGregor knocked him out.
            You claim to be a boxing fan. You don't really like MMA. Conor is disparaging boxing and staking MMA as superior as part of the build to this. Yet you want Conor to win.

            Doesn't make unless well you know

              What are you implying boy? I see this fight as a farce and think Floyd is bringing boxing down right now, him and Manny are old news.

                Hopefully Floyd will totally humiliate him. I can't see a McGregor win as good for boxing. That's ridiculous.

                    If floyd loses this i'll go around in a daze for a day or two like when marquez ko'd pacquiao, I couldnt even believe what had happened.

                      You've never rooted for a black fighter so what difference does it make to you?
