Maximus Decimus Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Can't stand the guy. I was one of the few hoping Mayweather sparked him out. He epitomises a certain culture, much of it online, where being a pr*ck is celebrated. I often say that much of his popularity is because he's Irish and everyone loves the Irish. As someone more familiar with the Irish than most Brits, he represents a certain type of Dub. If he was a proper scally scouser I doubt people would find him quite so charming.

DavidM Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes I love boxing , but I don’t like the boxers who are in a similar vein . Many seem to think this sort of attention seeking foul mouthed misbehaving persona is something you do or is part of the package , but I just find it irritating and cretinous . Just as irritating are the apologists and sycophants in the sport who excuse it and laud it as it ‘sells’ the occasion . I don’t think it does boxing any good ... Some of the things wilder says , or a total scumbag like Broner . You can be class and be classy , surely? You may not be the most educated but some of the antics and language in a sport where people can be killed and seriously hurt is just out of order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayweather took it easy with him and could have taken him out any time after the first round. There is talk of him wanting to fight Manny Pacquiao.

The fact we have a society where making millions is the only barometer of worth says a lot for why our society is like it is. When McGregor and those like him started doing their thing (being brash and offensive with nothing being off-limits), I think there was an unwritten understanding that it was supposed to be partly comedic. However, this has morphed over the years into people being horrible on purpose and then thinking it's hilarious to watch how upset the other side get. It's rampant online. I'm not by any means blaming McGregor for the faults of society but he is venerated by many of these people. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

Huge name, physically much smaller, in retirement and not a big puncher. I do think Mayweather took it easy, especially when he didn't throw punches for 2/3 rounds. He could've been very quickly embarrassed by a Canelo or GGG. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

I dont disagree with your commentary, i just find it odd that theres so much vitriol for a bloke who is playing a vilian to make look after himself and his family. Fair play to him.

Y'man Mcgregor is no boxer (otherwise, he would have taken that option). That fight with Mayweather should have been under the crazy cage-fighting rules. I'd have paid for the whole event myself.
