Oh yeah
Well his sports legacy is going to be tarnished forever. Not only with this racist remark, but because of his performance.
Yeah they're both shitty people for a variety of reasons so rooting for one over the other because the other did something shitty won't get you very far.

So this is a fight between an illiterate wife beater and an Irish racist.
Interesting matchup at least.

haha! I probably shouldn't have laughed.
I'm probably missing some serious context though...
Yeah, it's like being stuck between the proverbial rock and hard place. McGregor can fuck right off and so can Mayweather, but I hope Mayweather whoops his ass first.

Ehh, tomorrow Floyd will do something equally as horrible and people will be back on Conor's side.
I can only imagine the scenes during the training montage where Apollo is teaching Rocky foot work where they're kind of dancing back and forth. But who the fuck knows.
Edit:
Actually probably this, which takes this from confusingly racist to just racist as fuck.

He cops black culture, that don't mean he has to love black people, but shit, that ain't okay.
This isn't anything new for McGregor though. He said to Brazilian champion Jose Aldo that if it were different times he would have ridden horseback into his favella and put every man unfit to work to death.
Before that he referred to German fighter Dennis Siver as a Nazi.
Oh, and not too long ago he referred to Latino American Nate Diaz as a cholo.
I don't buy this "different connotations" bullshit. The man is fluent in bigotry, he's a real multiculturalist.

Yeah, fuck him and Fuck Mayweather too.
Best way to avoid helping either of these fools is to not pay a red cent to watch it, and not go to a bar showing it. I don't have time for racists and wife-beaters.

Faux outrage to justify defending Conor McGregor is not a good look, friend.

That and a huge paycheck.
I didn't think of that at all, I tried to find a youtube of the scene that it made me think about. When Rocky is training like a pussy with the band and the bubble machines. I guess it depends how accustomed you are to racism.

Can McGregor even box for 12 rounds w/o passing out? I might take that bet actually.
He hasn't even tried to hurt anyone recently because he knows he can win on points and trying to knock people out is more risky.
But he also hasn't fought someone who has has a 0-0 boxing record.

That's pretty bad. The skeptical side of me says this is pre-fight drama designed to fabricate a feud between them and raise spectator interest in the fight.

So is every upper-level boxer a huge asshole or what?

You're so transparent it hurts.
He caught himself after "dance for me, boy" at the press conference, repeating the comment with the removal of 'boy'. It seemed like he knew he fucked up almost instantly.
"Dancing monkeys in the gym" is bizarre. Like, even if he is a racist I wouldn't expect him to be one so brazenly, so maybe...
Oh Jesus, nevermind.

This is the scene you're talking about:

Where do you think he's pulling "Dancing Monkeys" from in that. There isn't even really any dancing in it.
Wha?

Yikes. It worked for Ali I guess. The ugly shit he said about Frazier basically ruined the guy.

If they're doing this city after city on some kind of your, I'm assuming that the two have agreed that anything is on the table when it comes to banter.
