Conor Mcgregor mentions Rocky III "dancing monkeys"; says meant circus-like celeb gym

Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
He trained with them because they were a group young and hungry unestablished boxers, Mickey and I think Apollo both said this directly. Apollo made him change his style because he was complacent in training and fighting how he always had.
Yes you do.
Widespread, nasty & public racism doesn't have an effect? Really? I think it's time for you to go back to your pals at GamerGate forums.

Speak for yourself...
Also Canadian and immediately went to that comment being racist.
It's not a Canadian thing to not think it's racist and we certainly have a ton of the same built in issues with racism (especially when it comes to First Nations communities)

No excuse for that, he is a wanker.
Mayweather also seems like a tosser.

I for one am amazed that someone involved in MMA turned out to be a moronic shit head.

surprised it took this long. I was expecting him to drop some racism against black people by the first press conference, not the second.
he's a wasteman. and so is floyd but for different reasons. still excited for this utterly one-sided match though. and the second conference was a blast to watch with all the fuckery and trash talk.

He did say "dance for me, boy" in the first one. Although when he said it he immediately corrected himself afterwards so it seemed like it was unintentional and he realised he fucked up. Then he said it again in the second and went further in the third. Really disappointing that he is leaning into this.

The more vocal Conor fans in this thread sure are jumping through hoops to defend his racist actions.
Ok. Do they represent all Conor fans on this forum or across the internet? No.

Anyone watch the NYC presser? The race comments seem to be making the news in Ireland

No but they represent themselves when they post here and we address them, not the remaining Conor fans that are in other places on the internet and/or quiet on this forum.
What does that post mean? Of course the people posting here don't represent every Conor fan everywhere. Why does that need to even be clarified? The person you were responding to didn't even say that.

I take the piss out of colleagues in my work sometimes by saying "dance monkey, dance" to them as a bit of banter and I would never have thought it was a racist thing to say. Is it?

Huh? Why are you being so hyperbolically defensive? Are you a Conor fan, too?
Either I've seen Conor fans in this thread divert to Mayweather's shittiness or go devil's advocate on his racist statements cause they can't accept him being a racist. Not a good look, either way.

They're both racist as fuck.
Did everybody forget what Mayweather said about Pacquiao?

His response to the racism allegations is to go racist again?
"All of the media seem to be saying I'm against black people... Do they not know I'm half black? I'm half black from the belly button down."

So you are going to ask if everyone forgot about Mayweather's comments but not bother reading the thread.
Gotcha.

Mayweather is also an abuser and a general shithead, but that's not the topic at hand. Mayweather being an asshole doesn't make what McGregor said any better.
And I'm sure this isn't your intention, but that's the sort of thing people bring up when trying to downplay McGregor's comments, a sort of "both sides" argument, which is why you're getting some push back on it.

I hope mayweather beats his ass to the ground. Mcgregor is such a cocky little shitbag

Yep.
That is what gets lost when try and "both sides" a discussion.

Of course.
No doubt what Conor said is racist as hell if anyone is old enough to remember Rocky III.
It was not in my intention at all. Conor said something similar to that one Brazilian UFC fighter.

If they're black, that's absolutely racist. But I'm sure you already knew.

In an interview he used the term "juice monkeys" to describe maywhethers security team

He says things like that about everyone. Why does it SUDDENLY matter when it is Mayweather's security team?
For some folks, that ain't sarcasm.

People got tired of GSP's ground-n-pound, and once Silva showed that he is human afterall, it went downhill imo.
It also did not help that Rousey got beat twice when faced against someone who was decent.

Nah. He was specifically talking about the two bodyguards with the shaved sides. Conor said "look at the size of those two ......." You can see during the presser those two were screaming at Conor.
