Comments Thread For: McGregor: Mayweather Fight Isn't a 'Black Versus White' Thing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Conor McGregor criticized Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Wednesday for what he considers continuous attempts to make their upcoming boxing match a racially divisive event. McGregor admonished Mayweather during a conference call for trying to turn their 12-round, 154-pound fight August 26 into a "black versus white" situation. Mayweather, who's black, hasn't made racist remarks during the over-the-top promotion of their pay-per-view extravaganza, but the boxing legend was heavily criticized for uttering a ****phobic slur during the fourth and final stop on their four-city, three-country press tour last month in London.

McGregor is right. Sick of all the race baiting BS. I've been called a klans member just because I want a puncher who goes for the finish as the face of boxing instead of a runner and hugger like Mayweather.

The Majority of Conor McGregor fans are those Alt right frat boy types with SS cut haircuts

The Majority of Mayweather fans are those Racist angry spiteful Whiney victim playing pro blacks who hate on everyone non black yet cry that others are haters.

Except I've never seen one McGregor fan on here bring up race. However multiple times a day Mayweather groupies bring up race as the only reason to like McGregor. They are sad people. As if race is the only thing that matters in boxing.

I will give a direct quote. Let me find it.

You've been on a boxing forum for 7 yrs yet you are rooting for the non boxer to win.

Hmmmm wonder why ? Wouldn't happen to be cuz one guy is white and the other is black would it?

Well of course it is.

Fuuucking racist here are out of control.

I'm sorry--and I don't care either way, but did the white dude that called the Rocky movie with the black dudes "dancing" while they were training around...did the white dude named Conor McGregor call them MONKEYS and is saying he meant it in some other way hahahaha? JESUS! Your all white training camp on Showtime All Access (not that there's anything wrong with that) doesn't help your cause. You don't hate black people, you just don't hold them in high regard. Anyone can view this any way they choose, but this is a FACT. FACT! He said it. It's how he feels about black people. Conor McGregor may have black "friends" or black acquaintances, but it clearly doesn't view them on the same level of his humanity. And that is sad as ****. For that, I hope he gets (Chris Tucker voice) knocked the fugggggout!

Of course it's not, it a "boxer versus and MMA fighter" thing.
