CONOR McGREGOR’S REAL RESPONSE TO FLOYD MAYWEATHER’S RACE COMMENT
Dublin, Ireland (January 8th, 2015)– Earlier in the week, there was a fake social media post that went viral claiming that Conor McGregor responded to Floyd’s Mayweather’s comments which claimed that race was a factor in which athlete was better liked. Today Conor McGregor made his first real response to Floyd Mayweather.
In an interview with Fight Hype this week. Mayweather took aim at McGregor, whom he said he has never seen fight.
“They say he talks a lot of trash and people praise him for it, but when I did it, they say I’m cocky and arrogant,” Mayweather said. “So biased. Like I said before, all I’m saying is this: I ain’t racist at all, but I’m telling you racism still exists.”
Here is what Conor McGregor posted on his social media earlier today.
2. ESPN, FOX, BT Sports, MMA Fighting, Yahoo, MMA Junkie and Sherdog thank you all for awarding me fighter of the year 2015!
I appreciate all the hardworking media and their love and commitment to the sport is truly valued.
I will be in Las Vegas to attend the event and collect all my awards.
4. Floyd Mayweather, don’t ever bring race into my success again. I am an Irishman. My people have been oppressed our entire existence. And still very much are. I understand the feeling of prejudice. It is a feeling that is deep in my blood.
In my family’s long history of warfare there was a time where just having the name ‘McGregor’ was punishable by death.
Do not ever put me in a bracket like this again.
If you want we can organise a fight no problem.
I will give you a fair 80/20 split purse in my favour seen as your last fight bombed at every area of revenue.
At 27 years of age I now hold the key to this game.
The game answers to me now.
5. Media instigators/An Garda Siochana.
I apologise for having the air-soft in public. I was simply rehearsing for a potential upcoming film role.
I understand that the more traffic a story can get the more revenue it generates. So I understand and respect that the media must create these stories and these situations even if at times it is at other people’s expense.
We’ve all got to eat. And I eat well.
So I will not complain.
6. My next fight.
What can I say, it’s just another night of easy work for me.
I don’t just own the game. I run it too.
