How long can we validate the behavior at the Mayweather-McGregor press conference?

But while we all knew publicity for the matchup would feature over-the-top displays of posturing, self-aggrandizing and hyper-masculine aggression, I don't think we were prepared for how precipitously the trash talk would devolve into slurs and stereotypes.
Over the course of four pressers in four cities this week, Mayweather and McGregor went from exchanging the standard prefight idiocy to back-and-forth homophobic, misogynistic and racial epithets. McGregor, who has trafficked in ethnic stereotyping in the past, on Tuesday described "Rocky III" as the movie with the "dancing monkeys in the gym" and told Mayweather "dance for me, boy." His sarcastic response to accusations of racism only made things worse.
quote:
Mayweather responded to McGregor's taunts by accusing him of disrespecting black women, a very pot-calling-the-kettle-black claim considering his very public history of violence against women. And on Friday, just days after chastising McGregor for his mouth, (and just a few years after his own foray into racial stereotyping), Mayweather called the Irish fighter a "ho," a "b----" and a "f----t."
quote:
While many of us watched from afar, disgusted, the fans in the arenas cheered. And I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to see such filth pass for entertainment. As a society we've embraced a gradual loss of civility and decency. Outrageous, clownish behavior used to be reserved for tiny pockets of the entertainment world; we pointed and laughed at the foolish folks we saw on "The Jerry Springer Show," looking down our noses at their boorish behavior. Now unsavory reality show characters like Danielle Bregoli, better known as the "cash me outside" girl from "Dr. Phil," don't disappear when an episode's reruns do. Instead they go viral and get celebrated. Earlier this year, Bregoli was reportedly charging thousands of dollars to make appearances, cashing in on her classless persona.

Lol at people trying to project Jim Crow type 1960s racism onto an unaware Irishman.

At least they bitches about both sides.

I am so sick of progressives and liberals. Nobody on earth is looking to McGregor and Mayweather for moral inspiration. Let fighters stay stupid shite. Who cares?

How did I know it was a woman before I even clicked the link?
They are going to be fist fighting. It's just trash talk. This ho needs to go to CNN or something.

This whole spectacle is a glorified WWE match
This will be as much a fight as les miles is an offensive minded coach

Are there going to be more of these "press conferences"? Pretty soon they're going to be swinging their dicks at each other.
Posted on 7/15/17 at 2:17 pm to Weagle25
At the second to last press conference McGregor said he can't be racist because he's black from the waist down

I love it, hopefully they can bring it to another level, and offend even more people. Time to step up your game, boys.

When are you people going to realize that both of these guys are putting on a damn show to sell pay per views. That whole display was a act.
Posted on 7/15/17 at 3:47 pm to Weagle25
I guess the two guys who are going to be literally punching each other next month should have had tea and discussed climate change instead of talking shite to each other
Whoever wrote that article is a beeeeeeeeeeeeetch

I was super excited to watch this fight, then I watched these press conferences in horror at the language I NEVER expected to hear, and now...now I can't even, I just can't!!!

Sarah Spain auctioned herself on eBay for Super Bowl tickets. That says more about her than two men talking trash before a fight.

This may be the most cringe lead up to a fight I've ever seen. Can't believe people are getting so worked up over a fight that will end up being disappointing. This fake roast shite is just stupid.
Posted on 7/15/17 at 8:12 pm to Weagle25
You mean that fake arse shite?

If you hate the liberal agenda, stop watching.
