Recently, Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather went on a bit of a mini-rant<\/a> in which he explained that he believes Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor<\/a> are praised by media more than he is because of racism.<\/p>\n

UFC announcer Bruce Buffer couldn’t disagree more with Mayweather’s claims, and spoke to TMZ<\/a> to refute “Money’s” claims of racism.<\/p>\n

“The bottom line is that perception is reality, and people perceive you the way they want to perceive you, and this involves whether you\u2019re black, white, red, yellow or purple. And that\u2019s just the way I look at it. …<\/p>\n

We need to play racism down in this country. We have enough issues going on rather than throwing more gasoline on the fire. Why not look at it like, “Hey, Conor McGregor is saying what he\u2019s saying, he\u2019s backing up everything he\u2019s saying, people are listening to what he\u2019s saying.” And, y\u2019know, when Floyd talks people listen to Floyd too.<\/p>\n

But they\u2019re two different people from two different fighting sports and they\u2019ll be perceived the way the want to be perceived by the public masses. It\u2019s as simple as that.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
