Mayweather’s homophobic slur was the first time either fighter clearly went too far, although McGregor has used terms like “boy” and “monkey” — both of which can be taken as racist — to get under the 40-year-old boxer’s skin during their four-city tour, which stopped in Toronto on Wednesday.

“He called black people monkeys,” Mayweather said during a news conference Friday, according to the BBC.

In New York on Thursday, McGregor said he was “half black, from the belly button down.”

What a joke this world tour is. In, the reality this fight will be a very disappointing. You have a professional boxer that has never lost to another, that will be fighting in his first career boxing match.

Mayweather is a boxing wizard but I can't attack McGregor. He's going to get a big fat paycheck. All he has to do is embarrass himself in a boxing ring.

McGregor sure is a ****ty sport role model. Hope he loses.
 
I actually want McGregor to win. Mayweather is way too cocky.

Yeah but McGregor has been acting like an arse these past couple of months. He's also way too confident. Also, he's treated as some kind of "god" from people in the MMA scene. It would be good to see him lose to someone as cocky as Mayweather.

Well, this is all basically kayfabe. That's what he's pretty much supposed to do. If I'm to be completely honest here, McGregor will probably lose (as much as I don't want him to). I want him to win, as that would create a huge upset, but I just don't think he will.
 
They both are just trying to gin up interest, making the purse fatter. The more controversial they can make the "acrimony", the higher the payday. FM's reported haul has been reported to be as high as 200m. Won't get squat from me.................

Yes the humility of McGregor should definitely win...


In reality the UFC has turned into a joke. Dana White should be ashamed of the clown show being put on. the UFC screws it's fighters ****ed them out of all thier endorsment deals for rebok. This is why you see a mass exodus to bellator.


5 years bellator will be bigger than the UFC



This latest circus is more akin the the WWE than MMA. **** Dana white and Zuffa.

Treated like a god mostly by bro's in affliction t-shirts.

So you are rooting for the man that calls black people monkeys and asks them to dance?

Not surprising TG. And this is not kayfabe. This is a real fight.
 
Boxing, and more recently MMA were respected sports. Boxing started going downhill when Don King rose to prominence as a promoter, and now MMA is much akin to WWE wrestling. I'm not even sure the outcomes aren't pre-determined just like in professional wrestling.

It's kayfaybe. We all know damn well that backstage, Mayweather said something to the effect of "You nailed that monkey line! Yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhh!!!" to McGregor. And McGregor gave him props for the fag bomb as well.

It's a freaking fake joke.
 
it's similar to when in 1976 when Muhammed Ali fought some kind of Japanese wrestler. I promised my
little brother I'd take him to Shea Stadium to watch it. To get out of the promise I payed an employee
$50 to take him. I think it was a draw, fans describe it as one of the most embarrassing moments in Ali's career.
Ali got 5 or 6 million for the fight so I guess it was a success for him. Why the public goes for this kind
of stuff I'll never know!

Ummm Mayweather likes to hit girls. You're rooting for thst criminal

Hardly a fight of character.
 
I see some of the Mexican boxers aren't too hyped up on McGregor.






But I think this guy is keeping it 100 here. He's speaking life advice too.
