In defense of Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor is a bigger jerk. Media silent.

[Remote]

There were things that didn't sit well with me regarding Floyd, but at the very least, Floyd was always gracious and respectful in victory to his opponents.

Conor is easily as big a trash talker was Floyd was at his height (and arguably more crass) but they celebrate Conor while shunning and trashing Floyd.

We all know why that is.
But since the media hijacks coli threads, maybe they can talk about this.

Do it, Screamin A.

Why are you even thinking about McG? He's not relevant since he's not fighting any time soon

Connor got like what 10 fights
Who cares about that bum

McGregor is a cheap Chinese knockoff homeless man's version of Mayweather
They are nowhere near comparable:

-Floyd has been on top of his sport for a decade, not a year

-Floyd buys Rolls-Royces instead of renting them

-Floyd has fought and beaten every single challenger until there was no one left, as a smaller man, McGregor starves himself to death so he could have a massive size advantage and ducks Aldo rematch, Khabib and Tony Ferguson

-Floyd used to treat Dana White as his errand boy, while McGregor can't take a piss without White's permission

-Floyd is a much, much better fighter. Arguably the best defensive fighter of all time. His offense was spectacular too in his Pretty Boy days but his brittle hands eroded over time and he had to adapt.
McGregor is like your kid cousin playing a fighting video game and spamming one punch over and over. He lost to Nate Diaz because he thought it was a good idea to open a flurry with a rear uppercut.

-Floyd is his own boss, McGregor is UFC's property

We all know the agenda in sports


Black men have to be humble and gracious that they are given the opportunity, but others can do no wrong. That's why we rarely hear a black athlete as "passionate, energetic, charismatic", etc. A white man screams hes hyped up, black man screams hes an enraged thug or gorilla

I've thought about this regularly. The fact that McG is painted as the hero and Mayweather the villain can only happen in a world where people irrationally hate black people - especially rich and successful ones.

They are literally the exact same person gimmick/persona wise except one is one of the GOATs of his sport and is actually capable of being gracious while the other talks even more crazy without the talent or resume.

Ill play "that guy" for this short time, and say the only plea I can see being copped is that McG actually talks shyt and beats the shyt out of his opponents, outside of Diaz. Maybe people see Floyd talk shyt and then just win rounds being defensive, without knocking his opponents out. Maybe people don't like that fact that he talks shyt and then consistently wins based off of score cards and not KOs??

Again I'm on Money's side of this debate but just like to play devils advocate and try to see it from the other side. At the end of the day as you said, dude is a GOAT KOs or not and has earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants to.

I honestly believe it has something to do with race plus the nature of their "sports".

Plus UFC thrives on cats like Connor and he's their current shiny toy

How many women Conor beat up?

Because clearly the media didn't hate Floyd before that.

Connor is very gracious in victory as well as defeat
