Floyd Mayweather Jr. Expertly Brings Race Into the Boxing vs. MMA Debate


(Props: CBS Sports via Bloody Elbow)

"It takes true skills to be in the sport of boxing, and mixed martial arts is for beer-drinkers. Boxing is for everybody. I mean, you can’t take my shoes off and take my shirt off and just throw me in a cage. You do that with animals, you don’t do that with humans…In boxing, we know who’s dominating. Black fighters and Hispanic fighers is dominating in this sport. And this is not a racial statement but [Ed. note: Here comes the racial statement] there’s no white fighters in boxing that’s dominating, so they had to go to something else and start something new." — Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

What’s ironic is that even in MMA, the two best fighters in the world are Quinton Jackson and King Mo. Also in the interview, Money Mayweather says that his duckery of Manny Pacquiao is due to the fact that Pac-Man isn’t his own boss, and that the recent murders of Steve McNair and Arturo Gatti have scared him off women for a while.

As for Money’s criticisms of MMA, what can you say, really? There’s some people who will never appreciate our sport because it’s done by shoeless people in a cage, and because an MMA match has less rounds than boxing, and because the only thing in the world that requires skill is punching, and because MMA was invented by frustrated white boxers, apparently. When the criticisms are lobbed by boxers themselves, or people who discuss boxing for a living, you can’t really take it too personally.

is he serious? does he realize, rather than focusing on hurting someone with two hands, mma focuses on the ENTIRE body. mayweather seems a little jealous id say. all the mma fighters are takin attention off of boxing, because boxing is obsolete. he made an appearance on wwe…. enough said… he wants money… thats it.. if mayweather was to fight ANYONE in the ufc, i am sure he would lose,.. a VERY skilled boxer is useless on his back or on the ground. a moderately skilled mma fighter, is usefull, everywhere.
mayweather, way to look like an ignorant, jealous, coward. get in the cage or at least train for the cage, and see how skilled you really are… pretty pathetic that a “white beer drinker” would fuck your “talented black” ass up if you ever grew the balls to get in the cage.. seriously… i would bet money i could choke mayweather out within seconds.

Chicken and waffles anyone!?

@machineboi, firstly, believe mayweather may have started with the racist shit, some of the gentlemen here prefer to respond in the manner of the original article so I guess there’s that argument gone

“I know for fact once again you wouldn’t say that shit to any black person any where at any time.” no you don’t.

“Last but not least white people aint even dominating MMA” The best fighters dominate MMA, color doesn’t come into it.

” MMA didn’t come from white people, white people aint doing shit but selling the sport it was the fucking Brazilians that started the shit” May have been some Asians involved in the development of Mixed Martial Arts over the years.

“I wish a white boy would say some shit like that to me…guess what so far I only see it on the internet” Post some contact details, I would also love to discuss your issues one on one

“Feels good to know you are scared still after all these years” Can only speak for myself and my social peers, but, scared of what exactly.

To sum up, I believe you need to start taking some pride in your color and race
And stop being so intimidated by the words and thoughts of white people. I have never read a positive comment from you, nor, realistically a comment that addresses MMA issues, you only comment on Race issues. You need to move on, and see that color is not an issue or you will never fully grow to realize any sort of potential, and will always remain a bitter, sad individual.

fatbellyfrank- May 3, 2010 at 3:18 am

OK, just let me get this straight, according to mayweather’s opinion, Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Quentin Jackson, Rashad Evans, Bret Rogers, Kimbo Slice, Houston Alexander, BJ Penn, Gomi, Aoki,Overeem, King Mo,Wandy Silva,Machida, Rua and too many more to mention here are all white, beerdrinking, shirtless, shoeless animals you just throw in a cage. Interesting opinion.
The main reason mayweather wont get an MMA fight, is that no athletic commision would sanction due to his one dimensional fighting ability.
Actually, there is one guy from MMA i’d love to see kick mayweathers ass in front of millions. Roy Big Country Nelson

You’ve got some serious jungle fever to be “nigger sensitive”. This is CP we can say nigger, chink, spick, and honky all we want. Who gives a fuck?! You should go to bloodyelbow or better yet get that prison soap from your designated “black friends”(you know they be goin to jail) and go to Columbus, Ohio.

HAL_13- July 20, 2009 at 6:35 pm

HIS SKIN COLOR CLEARLY SHOWS THAT HE IS A WHITE GUY NO MATTER WHAT MIXURE HIS PARENTS PUT TOGETHER AND CAME UP WITH. HE MAY NOT BE AN AMERICAN BUT HE IS DEFINATLY A WHITE GUY. THANKS FOR THE INFO THOUGH OL’BUDDY. AND WHY THE HELL ARE MY COMMENTS NOT BEING POSTED TONIGHT. THIS IS THE 5TH ONE TODAY THAT I’VE TRIED TO POST, AND THE BASTARDS KEEP CHECKING IT AS SPAM. BULLSHIT IT IS…………

Seoul Brother- July 20, 2009 at 5:57 pm

Ummm… Actually HAL, he’s Japanese-Brazilian.

HAL_13- July 20, 2009 at 2:41 pm

MACHIDA IS CLEARLY A WHITE GUY WHO HAPPENS TO LIVE IN BRAZIL. JUST BECAUSE HE DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH DOES NOT MAKE HIM A NON WHITE MAN. ALL YA GOTTA DO IS LOOK AT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN. ITS THAT FREAKIN SIMPLE. THATS LIKE SAYING ANDERSON SILVA IS NOT A BLACK MAN. CLEAN OUT YOUR EYES FURIOUSGEORGE, AND FOCAS WOULD YA. ITS REALLY JUST THAT SIMPLE OL’BUDDY.

FuriousGeorge- July 20, 2009 at 7:32 am

1. Three of the five current UFC champs (Machida, Silva and Penn) aren’t white guys. 2. Pacquiao, the best pound-for-pound boxer, isn’t black or Hispanic. 3. That *was* a racial statement. Mayweather literally couldn’t be more wrong.

HAL_13- July 20, 2009 at 2:03 am

@ UFC FAN. YOU SURE THE FUCK DON’T SKIP OVER A DAMN THING THAT I HAVE TO SAY DO YA YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT. I HAVE TAKEN MY MEDS, AND NOW I AM OFF TO WORK. HAVE A BAD DAY, AND YOU MAY NOW GO FUCK YOURSELF.

mondooh- July 19, 2009 at 11:56 pm

Lyoto takes offense to that, MMA is for PEE drinkers too!

Nikloai- July 19, 2009 at 5:06 pm

HA! in your face MARCUS DAVIS and CHRIS LYTLE!!!!

UFC fan- July 19, 2009 at 2:58 pm

Oh Hal you only wish you were as relevant as I am. The only reason anyone pays attention to you is cause you are like a goddamn trainwreck everyone has to look at the stupid man who types in all caps. Seriously dude stop being a tool and take your meds.
Half the people just skip over your stupidity when they see it posted.

finn- July 19, 2009 at 11:46 am

hmmm…I thought the Klitschko brothers were white. Maybe I need to adjust the color on my television.

HAL_13- July 19, 2009 at 10:42 am

SHUT THE FUCK UP UFC FAN. NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOU OR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. HELL, I THINK YOUR MORE HATED THEN I AM AROUND HERE YOU FUCKING DUMB PIECE OF SHIT.

UFC fan- July 19, 2009 at 10:37 am

Hey Machineboi, mayweather isn’t the only human on this planet that thought that pissing someone off made dollars and cents you stupid nigger!
Guess what? you just made yourself a target you knee-jerk reactionary fuckheaded fool.

Seoul Brother- July 19, 2009 at 9:21 am

Trust me, brother, the adrenaline, endorphins, caffeine, and scar tissue isn’t worth it for either of these jabrones. We’d be doing ourselves a big favor by forgetting that either of their mothers (and quite possibly the same fuckpig) uncrossed their legs.

HAL_13- July 19, 2009 at 9:18 am

YOUR RIGHT ABOUT THAT. HE’S JUST AN ASSHOLE. JUST MAYBE I WENT ALITTLE TO FAR ON THIS ONE. BUT THEN AGAIN MAYBE NOT. OK, I’M DONE WITH THAT CLOWN.

Seoul Brother- July 19, 2009 at 9:05 am

Cease fire ASAFP, HAL. Cease fire toot fucking sweet. Neither Machineboi nor Mayweather is worth anything more than a clownfart.

HAL_13- July 19, 2009 at 8:53 am

@ MACHINEBOI. I’M A WHITE GUY, AND I’M NOT A RACIST AT ALL BUT IF YOU WOULD GLADLY POST YOUR ADDRESS TO WHERE I CAN FIND YOU THEN I WILL BE MORE THEN GLAD TO CALL YOU WHAT THE FUCK EVER PISSES YOU OFF THE MOST RIGHT TO YOUR GREASY CHICKEN EATING FACE. I know for fact once again you wouldnt say that shit to any black person any where at any time. ARE YOU REALLY THAT FUCKING STUPID TO THINK THAT ALL BLACK MEN ARE JUST BAD ASS MOTHER FUCKERS BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK. HEY DUMB ASS, BLACK MEN ARE NO DIFFERENT THEN WHITE MEN. THERE ARE ALOT OF BLACK MEN OUT THERE THAT I COULD KICK THE SHIT OUT OF WITH EASE, AND VICE VERSA. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH SUCH STUPID STATEMENTS. SO IF YOU WOULD PLEASE POST AN ADDRESS TO WHERE YOU MAY BE FOUND, AND IF ITS NOT TO FAR FROM WHERE I LIVE THEN I WILL MAKE THE DRIVE, AND JUST PROVE YOUR DUMB FUCKING ASS WRONG. OH YEAH, THE ONLY REASON A WHITE GUY WOULD NOT SAY RACIST THINGS TO A BLACK MANS FACE IS THAT 90% OF THE REST OF YOU WOULD JUMP OUT OF NOWHERE, AND THEN THERE WILL BE ABOUT 190 BLACK FOLK TRYING TO BEAT UP THE ONE WHITE GUY AT THE SAME TIME. THE MAJORITY OF YOU FUCKERS CAN’T FIGHT FAIR IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND I’M SURE YOU ARE ONE OF THEM THAT HAS TO HAVE 15 OF YOUR HOMIES TO JUMP OUT EVERYWHERE, AND BACK YOU UP. JUST POST YOUR FUCKING ADDRESS, AND SHUT THE FUCK UP. I’M READY TO CALL YOU OUT MOTHER FUCKER. YOUR NOTHING BUT A BULLSHITTER.

Seoul Brother- July 19, 2009 at 8:40 am

While I cannot agree with the juvenile and trollish tone of Machineboi’s post, he does have a point. Mayweather talks a LOT of bullshit before a big PPV fight, and this invariably has the impact of suckering a bunch of people to watch. This is little more than engineering someone to act as the hoary old role of a wrestling “Heel.”

I’m sick and goddamned tired of this, and I’m sick of getting angry at the antics of an ill-informed and racist boob like Mayweather. Yes, he is a racist. You can’t reason with a moron like him. You can either pound the holy fuck out of him, or you can ignore him. I wouldn’t pay one red cent for a boxing PPV. The most fun I ever had watching boxing was the first Riddick Bowe-Andrew Golota fight in Madison Square Garden, and we all know how that clusterfuck ended, right? I will be dipped in pigshit if I make Mayweather a richer jackass than he already is.

If Cage Potato is going to institute a ban on The-Fighter-Who-Will-Not-Be-Named until the pendejo actually -gasp- does something worthwhile in the cage, then I implore Cage Potato to institute a similar ban on a dingleberry like Mayweather. Let’s not incite the issue with a nape strike like calling him every racial epithet in the book. Let’s just ignore him and hope that like boxing, he fades into obscurity.

I’d also implore Dana White and every other MMA promoter to ignore him. Turn your backs on this jackass. He’s not worth your time, nor the bandwidth for a vlog rant.

Machineboi- July 19, 2009 at 7:35 am

Hold you punk ass white boys taken shit waaaaay to far with your cowardly racsim ….I know for fact once again you wouldnt say that shit to any black person any where at any time. Secondly soome of the shit he said is right, Alot of white people I know stop loving boxing when ethnic fighters began to dominate. Last but not least white people aint even dominating MMA .. MMA didnt come from white people, white people aint doing shit but selling the sport it was the fucking Brazilians that started the shit………AND HERE IS THE HUMDINGER…MAYWEATHER DOES THIS BEFORE ALL HIS FIGHTS SO YOU CAN TUNE IN PAY FOR THE PPV TO WATCH HIM LOSE(BUT HE NEVER DOES)… HE KNEW HOW TO PISS YOUR STUPID SNOW MONKEY ASS OFF HE.. IS A FUCKING BUSINESS MAN …HE DID IT BEFORE HIS FIGHT WITH HATTON(DUH LOOK IT UP ON YOU TUBE) …SO WHO IS THE DUMB ASS NOW huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who is the nigga now HUH …I wish a white boy would say some shit like that to me…guess what so far I only see it on the internet …feels good to know you are scared still after all these years

Seoul Brother- July 18, 2009 at 8:51 pm

Ah – from reading other sites, it makes sense why this fucktard is acting especially douchey. UFC 103 is going up the same night as his fight. So, he has to act like a prick and talk smack about THE MAN having to make up MMA since whitey is getting his ass beaten by all the blacks & hispanics.

Riiiiight.

Maybe I’m not up on my genealogy, but just how much of Lyoto Machida, Quinton Jackson, and Anderson Silva’s family trees are made up of “cracka-ass-crackas?”

Just give baby his bottle, someone burp him, change his diaper, and put him up on the same night as UFC 103. It might also help if Mayweather could read some history of Jiu Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts, but that’s working from the presumption that Mayweather knows how to read.
