re: Floyd Mayweather: McGregor is a con artist who cannot even win in his own sport

Rodman is a perfect example of a beloved controversial/partying athlete.

It's sad people continue to try to make it about race.

Mayweather is just that much more of an ahole than even Conor. That's just an opinion that has nothing to do with race.

There are controversial athletes with domestic battery issues that overcame it.. such as.. Mike Tyson.. Mike Tyson is highly beloved now.. So it's still more about Floyd and his own character that people just don't care for.

No one likes Mayweather because he has a terrible personality.

Exactly. I don't find anything redeemable about his personality. Like not one single thing. All he ever does is talk about money. That's just annoying.

At least Conor has the funny walk and the "who the fook is that guy?" going for him.

frick both Conor and Floyd.

Seriously who likes ether of these guys?

Anyone with half a brain knew Floyd’s strategy was going to be to take Connor (a guy who gasses in 5 round MMA matches) into the late rounds and finish him off with relative ease.

A "bum" shouldn't require that strategy. It makes him look like an even bigger dumbass than he already is.

I’m not afraid to say I think white people will be more drawn to liking white athletes as a whole, and black people like black athletes make as a whole

Except for the fact that the two most popular sports leagues in the US have mostly black players. Why isn't the NHL the most popular if being white is such a compelling factor?

That “fight” was a glorified sparring session. Anyone with half a brain knew Floyd’s strategy was going to be to take Connor (a guy who gasses in 5 round MMA matches) into the late rounds and finish him off with relative ease.

And see, if this is true, then I especially don't like him. It always has to be catered to Floyd. Every little detail. And that's fine, that's his decision. However, I don't have to like it. And I don't.

I would respect him more if he actually knocked him out. Since he didn't, then he allowed this dude to go the distance with him.

Floyd wants respect or love? Then go fight in the MMA with MMA rules. Do something out of your comfort zone. Provide something other than no risk and money talk all the time.

I've tried giving Floyd a chance before by watching some of his livestreams, but his money talk all the time got old so fast. He's just not likable.

This is the one area I do agree that overall white people def unfairly treat black athletes, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. It’s just fandom

John Daily is beloved for being a drinker and partier even though he wasted extreme talent

I don’t think that love happens if he is a black athlete that wastes his talent the same way

Gronk is loved for being a partying moron. I don’t see black athletes that are dumb as hell who party in the public eye get loved for it

---

I don’t agree.

Both McGregor and Floyd have rabid fans who love them for their antics. Those people are likely douchebags. They also have people who dislike them quite a bit for their antics. Those people are likely sensible. I don’t think there’s anything unfair about Floyd having more black fans and McGregor having more white fans. And I’d guess that Floyd has WAY more white fans than McGregor does black fans.


Daly and Gronk(especially Daly) are much more than what you described them as. People can see their faults in Daly and relate a little bit. He and his career have followed a Hollywood movie style arc. The guy plays golf tournaments and then goes to the pub to play music for people. He’s very introspective and open.

There’s just a lot more to him than “he’s a drunk and whites wouldn’t root for a black drunk.”

Same with Gronk but to a MUCH lesser extent. The guy just never stop smiling and having fun and balling out. What black athlete do we not like that is similar to Gronk? There might be some, but are there even videos of him being a drunken disaster/a-hole?

Me neither.

But that doesn’t address your original post in here.

So you’re unilaterally deciding who the majority of people like and don’t like then making sweeping generalizations based on your theory?

Actually, the flow of their boxing match catered to Conor, as to not embarrass him by getting destroyed within the first 2 rounds.
