McGregor or Mayweather? Will the racist moron or the serial woman beater take home the hundreds of bajillions of dollars?
What a time to be alive.

Both will

And McGregor is a lot of things, but he ain’t racist

He’s toeing the line, I’ll grant you, but it’s all part of selling the fight and the media persona.
And you can’t deny, it’s rather entertaining to watch.

They’re both vile creatures Mildred
mildred st. meadowlark
Can’t agree with you there Bert. I like McGregor. I think what he’s achieved is remarkable. He’s a bit gobby, and brash too, but he’s magnetically charismatic, works hard, and back up his bullpoo.
Can’t comment on Mayweather though. I don’t know enough about boxing, not enough interest in the sport.
Brother Barnabas
Yep to that.
What the guy has achieved, standards reached etc through work, dedication… extraordinary and admirable.
The “I’m black from the waist down” thing was a bit embarrassing, but I think he knows that himself. Cheeky, likeable feels who knows he has to play the game – and plays it brilliantly (most of the time).
bertie blenkinsop
You don’t have to play the game though, look at Joshua v Klitscho
Brother Barnabas
I don’t think McGregor would be anywhere near to where he is now if he wasn’t such a willing participant. It was pretty much an irrelevant sport before he got involved.
bertie blenkinsop
Doesn’t make him any less of a yakball though, some people (not saying you BB) seem willing to overlook any misbehaviour so long as you’re making loads of money.
Harry Molloy
I think you ARE saying BB
BB does a good impression of you anyway
Brother Barnabas
Shut up, Harry
Brother Barnabas
Yeah, you’re right – but is all that different to an actor playing the role of an obnoxious character in a movie?
And at least he’s earning a living from it – no shortage of fools behaving like that on the streets every night of the week for free (although there’s probably a connection)

I admire Mc, and can’t say I know what he’s really like, but his persona is dirt.
Mayweather is an irredeemable scumbag.
mildred st. meadowlark
Can’t agree with you there Bert. I like McGregor.
Sure he’s gobby and crass, but that’s his persona – and that’s what sells his fights. He’s done unbelievable things for UFC and MMA in the past 5 years. He’s phenomenally charismatic, magnetic even, and he feeds off this kind of thing, but he’s a hard worker and can back up his bullpoop talk, and has had remarkable success doing what he does.
Can’t speak for Mayweather though. I honestly don’t know enough about boxing, or have enough interest in it to make much of a comment on him.
Nigel
The whole thing sounds toxic and stupid to me, but my opinion cannot be definitive because there’s no way I’m watching any of those videos.
Nigel
I mean I know the whole exercise is to make people really happy to see them beat each other bloody but come on.
I SAID I’m not watching any stupid sports-biz trash-talk videos.
Termagant
It’s OK, he’s only being a racist thug so he can make a lot of money?
Christ alive Mildred.
mildred st. meadowlark
I’ve been watching UFC for a long time – thanks to Mr Meadowlark – I’ve seen all of McGregor’s fights, and more, and I honestly don’t think that he’s actually a racist, that it’s part of the act to sell the show. That’s what this is, after all; a spectacle to draw the crowds.
Mayweather called McGregor a faggot last night, but I don’t necessarily believe that Mayweather is a homophobe (I don’t know, having no real knowledge of boxing). McGregor is good at talking trash, bigging himself up and all that, but it’s all bluster to sell his fights. Its a key part of his success.
However, I could be completely wrong here, and I can see exactly why McGregor is such a divisive character (because I do feel that what we see when he’s promoting a fight is simply a character he is playing).
