Floyd Mayweather Says Conor McGregor 'Can't Disrespect Black People, Period'

Rob GoldbergJul 13, 2017

The press conferences with Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor have already featured plenty of trash talk, but Mayweather believes his opponent crossed the line Thursday.

"He totally disrespected my daughter. He disrespected the mother of my daughter. He disrespected black women. He called black people monkeys," Mayweather complained, via MMAFighting.com. (Warning: video contains NSFW language.)

"You can't do that," he later continued. "Conor McGregor, you cannot disrespect black women. You can't disrespect black people, period. We've been through a lot."

Accusations of racism arose after McGregor referred to "dancing monkeys" in the movie Rocky III in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday, via A.J. Perez of USA Today.

With Mayweather's daughter on stage Thursday in New York, the UFC star took things even further in responding to the criticism.

Mike Coppinger of Ring Magazine captured one of the more noteworthy moments:

With a new press conference every day this week as the fighters try to build hype around the Aug. 26 bout, the competitors are bound to push the envelope to remain in the news. However, the inappropriate jokes may have crossed a line on Thursday.

The duo will be back in front of microphones Friday in London.
