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

[Willy Wanker]

Conor is right.

But he is white and Floyd is black, so some people will make this a black vs. white thing no matter what.

they think this is 1982 holmes vs cooney

As did I (fact), explaining "monkeys" (fact) to you. Good luck on your new reality show, The Amazing Racist! You're dismissed.

Conor doesnt make new friends. If you know him he flies in all his buddies in. Look you're get emotional because Im explaining facts to you.

In Ireland there is no racist connotation when calling someone "boy". It's complete nonsense to allege there was any racist intent in that comment. IMO he was an idiot for his comment about being Black from the waste down and deserves to be criticized for that but as someone who was born and raised on the island I can assure you, there is zero racist intent in calling someone "boy".

Not about being politically correct it's about not being an idiot. There's nothing funny about what he said.

Conor disrespected my people.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

come on now, floyd started it by lying that he called "them" a monkey. by them he meant his 2 white bodyguards, its all staged anyway

You're all wrong or you just lying. The monkey comment was made in reference to Rocky. He then came back the second day and called the bodyguards monkeys to cover his tracks.

McG is the neo ****'s favourite poster boy, they have their hopes and dreams riding on him, they have their white pride riding on him. He's 2017's very own Gerry Cooney.

McGregor has faced one black man in his entire career.
The victims of his trash talk have been white. McGregor doesn't need a white v black narrative to sell his fights.
