Yeah. I think Conor is using some Trump tactics. He just tosses a grenade into the Mayweather camp and sits back and watches them run around pulling their hair out. He isn't as good at it as Trump is but he is younger and has not been at it for 70 years. I hope Conor beats Mayweathers face flat. I hope the fight lasts a long time and Conor just plays with his to embarrass Mayweather. Like a cat playing with a mouse.
I hope you don't believe what you just typed

I'd start with the part where McGregor called him "boy".
That's a very common term used between men of all colors.

I just don't see how this happens. Conor may be the better all-around fighter, but he is not a pure boxer and that's where Mayweather will destroy him.

but McGregor's comments are clearly racist.
In what way exactly?

What's the format of the fight going to be? Boxing or MMA?

I think "boy" as a racial epithet is an Americanism, no?
I don't think so, at least the handful of times I've been called boy didn't seem to carry a racial tone with it. Seemed like they thought they were better than me personally.

Hell, the theatrics, plus the fact that people are overwhelmingly saying that it is going to be a shitshow are what is going to persuade me to pay for it. I'm not an MMA fan, and I haven't been a boxing fan in over ten years, but I'm close to purchasing this. I've blown $100 on much more stupid crap.

It is. My question was rhetorical. That being said, unlike other racial epithets, this one does have what I consider to be benign uses.

What makes you think I didn't know it was rhetorical? I was just saying that when a black person has called me boy I didn't see racism as the motivation. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

The funny part is, basically anything other than COMPLETE domination by Mayweather is a total black eye for boxing.
Boxing is already on the ropes.
If Conor shows any fight at all against him, boxing may never recover.

Trying to drum up publicity for an ill-conceived fight.
What a joke. This fight will be horrible. Mayweathers fight are already difficult to watch.

Yep.
They already suck. The smart money is on Conor never laying a glove on him.
That's why I say that if Conor puts up anything vaguely resembling a fight..........it's a huge black eye for boxing.
But, a Mayweather win is ho hum

Conor McGregor did not say anything racist, but the blue check mark brigade on twitter is trying to make him David Duke.
Also Floyd Mayweather can't read.
