The Floyd Mayweather/Conor McGregor fight press conference has been full of offensive borderline racist language and tons of cursing.
Now we can add homophobic, offensive language to the list.
During last night’s press conference in London, Mayweather went up to his opponent and called his a “f****t” as the two went back and forth.
According to TMZ, Mayweather’s camps response to the comment was
“The reason Floyd called Conor the F word is because Conor called Floyd a monkey. Floyd has nothing against gays or lesbians at all … Floyd has them on his staff. Floyd has nothing but the utmost respect for gays and lesbians.”
While that may be true, this press tour has shown there is no line that the two won’t cost to add a few more dollars in their pocket, and in many ways inciting racist, homophobic language that could continue between fans as we come closer to the August 26 fight date.
Ebro in the Morning touched on the lines they crossed during their recent episode on the show.
