Ah here. Saying "dance for me boy" to a black lad in America is a dumb move. It's weird that people think it's not. Sure have a go yourself and see how it works out

There's no need for cultural appropriation, we don't need to jump on the race war bandwagon that's going on in America, that's their issue. Americans, and Irish people, need to realise it's a different country, with different cultures, and things can mean different things in different countries.

Of course you are.

So this fight means nothing as in there is nothing up for grabs, it's basically a con job by two great actors to get the people to watch it. It's a bit like a WWE match, this fight is going to be a show, a form of entertainment.
I know I will watch for that reason, to see what happens.

it's been awful so far. London tonight should be good. I mean, if they can't get the pressers right..

Nice that you made an account just to comment on it though.

why are people going on about racism?

some twitter "black sports news" hack tried to stir the pot by editing comment from Conor over a clip of Apollo creed to make out he was calling Apollo a monkey.

The press conference was in America. McGregor needs to learn the above.

I don't care, I don't think the rest of us should pander to American ignorance. It's rife in the US, the dumbing down of everything so as not to confuse the lowest common denominator. Why should the rest of the world join in?

It's a fight, hundreds of thousands of fights take place with nothing up for grabs, should we stop all forms of sport than don't have something shiney as a reward?

Who said anything about stopping it?

I think the poster was just calling/describing it......spot on too.

They're both pretty racist to be honest, money and power etc.

I've brushed off McGregor's racism for a while (Aldo, Diaz , Dos Anjos etc.), blaming it on ignorance and passion but I think he's just digging a hole for himself now (sure not like he cares what I think). I don't think the 'dance for me comments' were too bad, I feel he would have said to anyone, but he has aired on the side of I am a white conquistador I will raid your favella before (Aldo) and the comments from the New York event last night were just ridiculous. Just have a slight bit of decorum like.

On the other hand, Mayweather is rich to be shouting racism all the time considering he did say he'd cook Pacquaio up in a sushi roll and eat him with some cats and dogs. Think he went and called him yellow too? Hmm.

Two ignorant idiots, end of story. Think I'm going to try tune out of this fight now, but realistically I probably won't.

I hope for my sake they can keep up the illusion. Toronto had me with lovely blinkers on, getting excited about a farce fight, but New York was like a peak behind the curtain and now the show is sorta spoiled.

As much as a panto this thing is I refuse to believe the fight is fixed.
