In reply to the discussion: Does anyone really give a crap about the boxing match tonight? [View all]Liberty Belle
(9,534 posts)13. It's been touted as white racist against black guy; black guy, Meriweather won.
No surprise based no Meriweather's winning record and the white guy, McGregor's zero wins in this division. But the bets were heavily in favor of McGregor, for reasons that are either ignorance or racism, or just wanting to win a longshot.
Meriweather's no prince though; he owns a strip club in Vegas.
I am not a boxing fan. I hate the sport due to its violence and would never watch two men trying to injure each other. I just happened to read an article on this today.

Just because a white dude has racists supporting him does not make him a racist.

I loved Muhammad Ali because he took a lot of violence out of boxing, I thought.
