During a red carpet interview after today’s press conference, Floyd Mayweather addressed McGregor’s potentially racist remarks during the press tour.
I don’t like the fact that he called blacks monkeys. I think that’s totally disrespectful. Saying a lot of racist things today to black women, i have two black daughters and a black mother… He’s crossing the line, I can’t focus on that right now. I’m here to do a job and my job is to go out there and entertain but he’s out there losing a lot of fans
Later in the night, Conor did address the racism accusations in a serious manner by saying that he thinks it’s completely ridiculous and that he was trying to make light of the situation during today’s press conference
