Last month, during Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor<\/a>‘s international press tour, McGregor made a few questionable remarks, several of which were deemed to be racist.\u00a0The most controversial of McGregor’s remarks occurred during a backstage interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live,\u00a0<\/em>when he was asked about the film Rocky 3 \u2013 in which Rocky trains at an all-black gym \u2013 and referred to it as the one with all the “dancing monkeys in the gym.”<\/p>\n

Speaking to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith<\/a> earlier this week, Mayweather once again addressed these questionable comments from his upcoming opponent.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u201cI just didn\u2019t like when he called us monkeys,\u201d Mayweather said (h\/t MMAFighting.com<\/a>). \u201cI think that was totally disrespect. \u2026 He called us monkeys. I didn\u2019t like it. It didn\u2019t push a button to make me jump out of my character and go crazy, but I didn\u2019t like it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mayweather then said that he’ll be fighting for the black community when he steps into the ring with McGregor on August 26<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI just thought about all our different leaders,\u201d he said. \u201cMartin Luther King, Malcolm X. They went on the front line for me and my family and all my loved ones. Like I said before, this stuff still goes on. But I\u2019m strong, I\u2019m smart, patient. And come August 26, I\u2019ll be the same person \u2014 smart, strong, patient. And the same way he called us monkeys, we\u2019re gonna see if he say that August 26.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

McGregor’s thoughts on all these racism accusations<\/a>, of course, have been made quite clear.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cYou can be fooled by him if you want to be fooled by him,\u201d The Irishman said during the press tour, beforee referencing the domestic abuse scandal in Mayweather’s past. \u201cYou know the man\u2019s character, you know his history. He\u2019s trying to sway the people in his favor. I think it was a cheap, little [play]. \u2026 I was trying to address something in my own little way. But whatever. It is what it is. I had fun with it last night. If he feels disrespected, well he\u2019s an idiot and then fuck him as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What do you make of these comments from Floyd Mayweather?<\/p>\n
