From his <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mmanews\/photo-floyd-mayweather-is-given-ultra-controversial-christmas-present\/\">flashy lifestyle<\/a> to his vocal opinions, Mayweather has never been one to shy away from <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mmanews\/ufc-responds-to-floyd-mayweathers-shot-at-ronda-rousey\/\">speaking his mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Mayweather spoke with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fighthype.com\/mayweathernews\/mayweather_says_boxing_still_racist.html\" target=\"_blank\">Fight Hype<\/a> on how he &#8220;truly believes&#8221; racism exists in the sport of boxing, and expanded it to MMA.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;But you look at things like this, Ronda Rousey, you know, I think she fought somewhere like 11 or 12 fights, which is not a bad thing. Laila Ali went undefeated and was dominating too. After Ronda Rousey fought I think 9, 10, 11 fights, it didn&#8217;t even take that long, she got all types of endorsements, movies, and everything. Laila Ali did the same thing in better fashion. Ronda Rousey, she&#8217;s a good looking woman when she put it on. Laila Ali is a drop-dead gorgeous woman; I mean a naturally beautiful woman and can kick ass, but you never heard them [the media] saying when she had I think somewhere around 10, 11, 12 fights that she was the baddest woman to ever fight on the planet. And what&#8217;s so crazy, I don&#8217;t really know the McGregor guy; never seen him fight. I heard his name actually from one of the runners that works for our company; a little kid named Ken Hopkins, he&#8217;s a runner and takes care of a lot of the daily business. Whatever we need, he takes care of. He&#8217;s a cool little kid, I like him, and he does MMA. He told me about the guy McGregor. They say he talk a lot of trash and people praise him for it, but when I did it, they say I&#8217;m cocky and arrogant. So biased! Like I said before, all I&#8217;m saying is this, I ain&#8217;t racist at all, but I&#8217;m telling you racism still exists.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What are your thoughts on Floyd&#8217;s words?
