Am I the only person that hopes Floyd Mayweather gives that foul mouthed Irishman a good beating.
I know trash talking is part & parcel of promoting the event but I think McGregor has totally over stepped the mark.

Mayweather will SCHOOL mcgregor, he'll be lucky to land a glove on him. Watch mayweather v alverez on youtube probably the best defensive boxing ive ever seen. If alverez couldnt get near him Mcgregor got no chance

What did he say that overstepped the mark?

He called him a dancing monkey. But was quick to quash the racism hate he received after.

Let's not forget, in front of the whole arena mayweather called McGregor a fag*ot. It's all handbags from both camps.

Is that it?
When was this ever a racially discriminative term?

A dancing monkey is basically making someone else dance for your own entertainment.
So as soon as you say that to a black man, you're racist?

No. Not in my opinion, But that's what all the fuss is about. Don't shoot the messenger.

Apparently, if you call a black person "boy" that's deeply offensive, while calling a white person "chalky" or a "honkey" is a bit of banter.

Mayweather is just as much as a cretin as McGregor. Is there a way they could both lose?

I know it's not his style but I hope Floyd just batters him for 12 rounds.

Why do people have to keep bringing race into it.
Trash talk is trash talk.
The reason I dislike McGregor is that he has
somehow talked his way into a fight against
One of the best boxers in boxing history when he has never fought a single fight as an amateur let alone a professional.Yet he continues to talk down to a boxing legend.

Myself and my brother are big boxing fans. We all ways watch the big fights, alternating between our houses and sharing the PPV and food/beer cost for the night.

I can tell you right now that no matter the fight, be it HULK vs Thor, we will not split a £77 bill to watch a boxing match/Exhibition match from our living rooms.

This isn't to say we wont be huddled around the P.C watching a stream.

It's because boxing is a dying corrupt sport. MMA is destroying it world wide in popularity and participation numbers.

Trash talk is trash talk.

People love to get offended on the behalf of others, or try and call foul on someone they don't like or support.
For anyone that watched the shows, knows exactly how it was intended. Purely trash talk, all for show.

I'm looking forward to the fight.
I take it for what it is, a show.
A bit of theatre, comedy and sport all in one night.

I hope Conor wins, I've always disliked Mayweather. But in reality, it's a 12 round boxing match between the best defensive boxer in history, and a great mixed martial artist with 0 professional boxing experience.
