Mayweather VS Mcgregor official fight thread August 26th

[DeadsetAce]

go Conor

and clearly since this needs to be said, it's because Conor is my favorite UFC fighter and i don't like boxing

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

So, wanting to box the undefeated champion is strictly race related now? Not to mention his past matches were boxer vs. boxer. This is a cross sport matchup being made to generate as much cash as possible. The premise has nothing to so with race. McGregor is one of the better self-promoters and trash talkers out there...White folks have no part in that. It's a huge reach to say this is racially motivated.

Carry on.

You're right. Carry on.

So this is their Rocky to beat Floyd.

Bomani was like, watch how everyone becomes Irish for the weekend lol ... word to all that 'England pride' and soccer chanting during the Ricky hatton fight.

Race is always a thing.

Boxing flourishes when it pits people of different ethnicities/races against each other.

Don't play dumb.

And back to my point, people want to see the Brash, Undefeated, Black Dude lose. Point blank.

Once he smashes this dude off too, he will be all types of N-Words yet again

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

The crazypart of it is Conor and Floyd on the outside of it are one in the same. They prolly boys on the low. There personas are nearly identical. They've dominated their competition for the most part.

Floyd said Conor was only big because he was white. And while that is true, Conor has worked his *** off to be the best in those lighter divisions. Conor got mad as hell and blasted Floyd in the media and talked about his Irish heritage and how the McGregor named used to be marked for death and **** back in Ireland years and years back. I believe it. Dude has probably been through strife of his own where he's from, but this is America fam. You are big because you are white. You have a strategic advantage over here. Not his fault, but you need to acknowledge that **** just like Em did if you wanna be really real "Notorius" There's no doubt Conor has earned his way to stardom like he has. And was even gracious in defeat to Diaz the first time. On the low I ***** with duke. But the powers that be create these matchups for a reason....

 

[651akathepaul]

DC: You are absolutely ridiculous with this. There was a comment made that insuated white folks are choosing to send out McGregor as the great white hope to finally beat Mayweather. White people are not setting up this matchup with that premise in mind. It's not even white people as a race that's setting up this matchup in the first place. Will some white people cheer for McGregor because he's white? Yes? Will racists cheer for him simply cause he's white? Yes. None of those bastards have anything to do with this fight taking place. It's MMA vs. Boxing and it's to generate the payout that comes with it. To even it steer it that direction is sad.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

.

Ridiculous for pointing out the obvious?

Again, if you think there isn't a racial element to this, you are sadly mistaken.

I am not suggesting white people are sending him out there, I am simply saying this will be another fight that "folks" will want to the arrogant black champ lose.

Point blank.

Again, race always matters.

 

[651akathepaul]

It's ever present, but it doesn't always matter.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

It's ever present, but it doesn't always matter.

Define matter?

This I agree with. It's a win win for both, assuming Conor doesn't care about taking a massive L in the ring

The white vs black discussion is all over the place. When you look at it from the promotional standpoint, of course black vs white is a motivator

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Dudes really gon act like race has nothing to do with this. In America.


This dude ain't got no pro boxing experience but he's being hyped up to fight one of the best ever. They know the white/black thing is gonna be in people's minds and why it would be so big but people won't talk about it cuz people like to pretend America doesn't see race. Man please. It what it is. Like I said it's the real life Great White Hype. All for the money.

They do have something to do with it cuz some of them will be buying and attending the fight. The people putting this together know that. You probably don't think like that.


I don't get why y'all getting so defensive this is obvious. This is America.

[SORIANOTRON]

And some like to ignore the harsh reality that simply is race relations in America.

look around, "race relations" are the best they ever been in the history of mankind and continuously getting better decade by decade for the past 75 years.

granted we ain't there yet, but we well on our way.

the truth is the truth.

black president / black politicians/ black owned banks/ black owned business/ black colleges/ no segregation/ blacks dominating the entertainment industry/ black millionaires/ black CEO's of fortune 500's / blacks in space/ black holidays >>>>>>>>>>>>> anything on social media or sensationalized tv stories

for every dumb racist instagram comment there's 3 more positive/uniting comments that people dont pay attention to or screenshot like you just did.

Its actually flipped if you step back and think of it, 60 years ago you were VILIFIED if you performed an act of kindness or showed compassion to a person of color, might be disowned by your family, loose your "social" favor all that....

Now acts of kindness are SO COMMON to each other its the norm, we VILIFY acts of racism because they are so appalling, archaic and shocking now.

Cmon fam, wake up.

you looking at the glass half empty.
