We should all be thankful that the circus that the Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor world tour has finally come to an end. But rather than go out with a bang, it ended with more controversy.

What started out as a relatively tame London conference in comparison to the previous stops was derailed with one poor judgement by Mayweather just a day after McGregor’s New York debacle.

Any sympathy that Floyd Mayweather may have gained after Conor McGregor’s poorly handled comments on race went right out the window when Mayweather decided to drop the bar even lower with an anti-gay slur aimed at his Aug. 26 opponent.

It was clear that Mayweather had run out of material as he recycled the same lines he delivered on his previous stops. With a raucous London audience shouting down Mayweather, the 49-0 boxer dug into his Gucci backpack and pulled out the worst possible insult.

“You punk, you fa****, you ho!” Mayweather barked.

If the bar had already been dropped to the ground on Thursday, Mayweather managed to find a way to get beneath it on Friday.

It was proof that this world tour had dragged on far too long and everyone was suffering from fatigue. The barbs were recycled over and over again to nausea. But, for McGregor, he at least had strength in numbers, as the London crowd was passionately behind the Irishman.

Can't wait until this is over. Hopefully they both knock each other out.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Both are complete idiots

 

[AwakenedCloud]

To quote Giant Bomb after Mario Party: Nobody wins

 

[MadLaughter]

The only fighter worth rooting for here might be a rogue referee.

 

[kinggroin]

Ugh. Double KO.



Why is anyone surprised by either guy. Either character.

 

[Fall Into The GAF]

Channeling his inner Mike Tyson...

 

[shintoki]

He just want to complete the trinity of being a shit head. racist, homophobic, and sexist.

 

[SilentRacoon]

Nobody wins, they both go out in disgrace.

 

[CHC]

They should just never unlock the cage. Eventually the crowds disperse and the lights go down and they both realize that they're in there with each other forever.

 

[Balphon]

Time to start rooting for the meteor, I guess.

 

[Romars202129]

I don't get these reaction threads. Turns out, if you beat the shit out of people for a living, you are predisposed to being an asshole. Who could have guessed.
Just realise they ain't role models and enjoy the spectacle.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Glad this hype tour is over

 

[Frozenprince]

A woman beating asshole is also prone to use slurs?

Nooooooo.

That's not true. Like, at all.

Yeah. These threads are bizarre. They’re shitty people no doubt. Pretty much known, at least for Floyd. Rich shitty people lol.

 

[Albino_Yeti]

Starting to wonder if they are just saying these things to drum up the headlines.

 

[Indelible]

This entire thing is more carny than Pro Wrestling, what a damn joke.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

What sucks is that "just enjoying the spectacle" gives these pieces of shit money.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

If only their upcoming PPV was a dud.

 

[valkillmore]

I can't decide who I want to get knocked out harder to be honest.

 

[border]

They are going to be in a cage? I thought this was a boxing match.

 

[Ivan 3414]

It's 2017. We need a better class of boxer.

 

[Romars202129]

Their faces and brains are going to fall apart in their 50s if it gives you some piece of mind.

 

[DJKhaled]

Starting to wonder if they are just saying these things to drum up the headlines.

Is this sarcasm? Of course they are. People are getting worked so hard.

 

[MaulerX]

Ha. Just when you thought Mayweather was emerging as the good guy here.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Is this sarcasm? Of course they are. People are getting worked so hard.

Nobody is getting worked. Why are people still parroting this stupid ass take?

I get these reactions threads. They're like a Bat Signal calling posters to come spew ignorance.

 

[Madness]

Got nothing on the GOAT Iron Mike tbough...

"Put your mother in a straight-jacket you punk ass white boy. Come here and tell me that, I'll fuck you in your ass you punk white boy. You faggot. You can't touch me, you're not man enough. I'll eat your asshole alive, you bitch. C'mon anybody in here can't fuck with this. This is the ultimate, man. Fuck you, you ho. Come and say it to my face.... I'll fuck you in the ass in front of everybody. You bitch.... come on, you bitch. You're scared coward, you're not man enough to fuck with me. You can't last two minutes in my world, bitch. Look at you scared now, you ho.... scared like a little white pussy. Scared of the real man. I'll fuck you 'til you love me, faggot!" 

 

[Dante]

Piss off every demo so they pay to see you lose?

Seems like both are taking this strategy.

 

[M.W.]

They need to fight to the death. That would be worth $100 to see.

 

[old manatee]

It's 2017. We need a better class of boxer.

Yeah, I expect more from people who get punched in the head for a living.

 

[Staccat0]

Is there a "don't let them fight" gif?

Yeah, I expect more from people who get punched in the head for a living.

We expect the bare minimum of human decency yeah

 

[LionPride]

Yikes

 

[Slayven]

2 people with long histories of being shit, continue to be shit.

Shocking

 

[kmfdmpig]

Is this sarcasm? Of course they are. People are getting worked so hard.

Either they're racist and homophobic, which sucks or they're so callous that they're willing to say racist and homophobic things to rile people up and try to drum up additional interest.

Either way they're both trash, so it's not really much of a defense to say that they're working people.

 

[Dark Cloud]

And they going to make millions and millions. Sucks so many shitheads like these make it to the top.

 

[Fulminator]

They need to fight to the death. That would be worth $100 to see.

Yeah ok bud

 

[elrechazado]

Everyone is falling for this

 

[M.W.]

Yeah ok bud

It would be the biggest event in history.

 

[Heroman]

It would be the biggest event in history.

It already is

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Everyone is falling for this

falling for what? He's going to say homophobic things in an elaborate scheme to get people to...think he's homophobic? What a genius!

 

[phaonaut]

Just realise they ain't role models and enjoy the spectacle.

I can think of a lot of fighters that are decent/good people. As far as the public knows anyway.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Their faces and brains are going to fall apart in their 50s if it gives you some piece of mind.

It helps

 

[FTF]

I can't decide who I want to get knocked out harder to be honest.

Pretty gay to say you'd rim another guy. Its like Cartman putting Butters' balls in his mouth.

Welcome to the all new season of The Biggest Loser.

 

[MadJackChurchill]

Professional male athlete turns out to be bigoted piece of garbage. Why am I not surprised? Could you take some time out of being "the bestest manly man ever to man" and learn to be a functional human being first? Cheers.

 

[elrechazado]

falling for what? He's going to say homophobic things in an elaborate scheme to get people to...think he's homophobic? What a genius!

Yeah dude, that's it.

 

[Mobius 1]

This. I never wanted a double KO so much.

 

[Frozenprince]

Yeah because damaging his long term brand to sell one last fight is exactly what Floyd would be doing if this were a work.

Wait. No. That would be fucking stupid.
