Connor got off very.lightly indeed, no one in the media has really grilled him about his dancing monkeys comment, which is the most damaging thing he said. Floyd will get more stick from the media for calling him a faggot.

Agree even the half black thing, I could get past but for someone who claims to be multicultural, he should know better than to call black people monkeys.Thing is, the media love Conor and he's a fan favourite and it's seemingly getting him a bit of a pass. The 'dance for me boy' comment I can completely look past, that's something that could be said without any racial discriminatory undertone at all to be honest, but the dancing monkeys comment doesn't look good at all. I've never had any sort of hatred for Mayweather and he's certainly not a likeable character but to be honest I'm starting to feel the same way about McGregor.
After all this it just makes you think that neither are very likeable characters but the media will still always have a love in for McGregor regardless as he almost represents what's 'in' in todays society. The slick haircut, muscles, tattoo's etc. Pretty sad really.

Floyd has a good point, he was outspoken and was flash long before Connor did it, he never got any adulation for it though.
What Is the half black thing about?
Yeah, the half black thing just felt very immature if anything to me, it's like a 'joke' I would have expected to hear when back at school or college. But yeah like said, the monkey comment wasn't right, but also notice how the media and general public don't wish to dwell on that at all, they only wish to dwell on how he 'destroyed Mayweather with insults and jokes' in the conferences.
And without a doubt, I don't want to continue playing on the issue of race, but if Mayweather looked and sounded like McGregor I really believe the perception of him would have been very different and a lot more positive throughout his career.
PatheticMcGregor said "I'm half black, from the waist down."
Guessing it's in reference to the stereotype that black men have big dicks.
Not looking good for Broner tonight. Has to get a knockout to win. Being thoroughly out boxed through 8, IMO
Wlad has retired, so no rematch.
Right decision from him IMO. I don't think he fancied another go with Joshua (who could blame him) and he'll retire with a lot of respect. Just a massive shame that Fury beat him. Thought Joshua showed him a huge amount of respect which was no less than Klitschko deserved.
