Mayweather not concerned about McGregor ‘boy’ comment
Mayweather responds to McGregor calling him “boy” at their press conference in Los Angeles. Some commentators have said the term has racial connotations. Mayweather’s father has said McGregor was not racist for the comment.
Racism still exists but you know, I try to take something negative and turn it into something positive…We all know there’s only 2 types of boys — a white boy and a cowboy — and I’m neither. I’m just joking…I’m not upset at all…A lot of people say that Conor McGregor is racist but I’m not worried about that. It’s about going out there, doing my job. [When he said the boy comment] it is what it is. He’s entitled to feel how he wants to feel. I just want to stay in my zone and stay focused.
