Floyd Mayweather on Conor McGregor’s racial comments: 'It's totally disrespectful'

It was only a matter of time before the race card was played. Interested to see what this board thinks.

quote:
“A lot of you in the media seem to be saying I’m against black people,” McGregor said, offering praise to Brooklyn’s own Notorious B.I.G. – the deceased rapper with whom he shares a nickname. “That’s absolutely ridiculous. Do they not know I’m half black? I’m half black from the bellybutton down.”
quote:
“Here’s a present for my beautiful black female fans,” McGregor said, gyrating his hips as Mayweather’s teenage daughter Iyanna stood just feet away on stage.
quote:
On Tuesday in Los Angeles, McGregor taunted Mayweather, saying “Dance for me, boy,” causing some to suggest the UFC star is racist. On Wednesday in Toronto, he did it again.
quote:
“I’m a multicultural individual,” McGregor told the media. “I don’t really see color in my eyes. I just wanted to say something and have a little fun with it. I wanted to address it and address it in my own little way. [To think that I am racist] is stupid and it’s ridiculous.”
quote:
While McGregor simply laughed it off, he clearly managed to strike a chord with Mayweather, particularly when it came to Thursday’s antics.
“I think that disrespecting my daughter, disrespecting the mother of my daughter, disrespecting black women, calling black people monkeys, it’s totally disrespectful,” Mayweather said.
“It’s total disrespect and he came out today and he did it again. You do not disrespect, I don’t care if it’s white women, black women, white men, black men, Asian, Latina or Latino. You don’t disrespect people. To get respect you have to give respect.”

He must have heard his comments because he surely didn't read them any where.

Said the same guy that beat up a woman a few years back.

The case stemmed from a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument with his ex-girlfriend Josie Harris while two of their children watched in September 2010.
No morality lessons from Mayweather should be given ANY credibility.

Mayweather is a POS but McGregor's comments are clearly racist. Nobody's "playing the race card" here.

Fight hype is all that is. Make it a racial issue to draw a bigger crowd.
Posted on 7/14/17 at 8:56 am to boogiewoogie1978
This is just stupid.

You do not disrespect, I don’t care if it’s white women, black women, white men, black men, Asian, Latina or Latino. You don’t disrespect people. To get respect you have to give respect.”
Despite even Mayweather’s father, Floyd Sr., suggested McGregor’s “boy” comment on Tuesday was not racially charged, the ongoing promotional tour has now taken a racial turn that warrants deeper consideration in the undefeated boxer’s eyes.
“Racism still exists,” Mayweather told the media. “I was flashy, [wearing] mink coats, and you know I’ve been driving Ferraris and Bentleys for over 20 years. “All this flashy stuff I was doing it was, ‘Oh, he’s arrogant, oh he’s cocky, oh he’s this, he’s that, he’s unappreciative.’ But then you take the same guy [McGregor], who’s in contact sports, steals my whole blueprint and he [gonna] do it and they praise him for it.”
Despite all of that, Mayweather, who will turn 41 later this year, offered an explanation for the 29-year-old McGregor’s tasteless antics. “I have a diverse team, a diverse staff and when I was young I may have said some things that I shouldn’t have said when I was young but we live, we learn and you don’t say those things when you get to a certain age,” Mayweather said. “When he gets older, he will probably look back and say, ‘I shouldn’t have said that.’”
So in summary:
Mayweather is a saint
Mayweather admits he wasn't when he was the same age as the guy who he is now on the other end from
Mayweather invented flashy styles and antics
Something something racism

Looks like McGregor found just the right buttons to push to get to Floyd.

Floyd Mayweather attempts to read good so he can do other stuff good too
This joke was started by 50 Cent, for context.

Is this where we make a victim out of a black dude who's beat up women on multiple occasions?
