"Besides the domestic thing"

He was hated long before that legit excuse was used by people that already hated him.

 

[Scyther]

First off, no one was talking about Floyd's domestic situation before he was going to make a cool 250 million dollars fighting Manny, then all of a sudden the domestic issue came up. This is just fake outrage no one gives a crap about some domestic issue or they wouldn't be watching this fight.

 

[Scyther]

Well he did throw two cheap shots in his fight against Ortiz then went on to argue about it with Larry..
What a stupid fucking question to bring up.
The fight he had with his old man on camera showed his true colors=scumbag.

Ortiz threw an illegal head butt and then after not paying attention and arguing with the ref Floyd knocked him out clean. It's called protect yourself at all times.

I can't stand either of them

Sterling is about as exciting as a church bake sale and he has no talent. He's a non-entity when it comes to exciting match ups or high level fights.

A lot of Sherdoggers use the domestic violence thing as an excuse to put down certain fighters. Others get a complete pass. It's comical.

A racial element would be the least important aspect of why people don't like a person whose public persona is boring and obnoxious.

When someone puts on the same persona and is adored, the biggest difference being that the person is white, you tend to start asking these questions

Not the same persona at all, but I think you know this.

McGregor entertains.

Saying people don't like Floyd because the domestic assault charges is b.s. People didn't like him way before that.
Mayweather is not charismatic enough for people to get over his character flaws in general, he's arrogant, only talks about money and doesn't have a pleasing fight style. Chances are he's also beat your favorite fighters.

Meanwhile Conor is just as arrogant and only speaks on money, but he's funny to some, entertaining to a lot of people inside and out of the cage. People who don't even follow MMA know about his press conferences at this point.

Conor:

-finishes his fights
-doesn't point fight
-has no domestic charges
-can actually read

Floyd:
- has more finishes on his record and not one loss.. Def not a loss to a fighter who fights at 125lbs
- has defended each belt he ever won.. Conor had never defended a belt
- gets paid by the strippers around him and has no drug addiction.. unlike someone who pays escorts and parties in the snow
- 21yrs later, still undefeated.. and relevant enough that a mma athlete wants to fight him for the biggest pay day of the mma athlete's career

 

[Joe Buck]

A ton of people hate Conor. Why is it that certain demographics love Floyd but hate Conor if they are the same?

You are wrong absolutely Nobody hates Connor.

But lot of people hate Mayweather without Knowing who he is. Fact

 

[Captain Tight]

Conor:

-finishes his fights
-doesn't point fight
-has no domestic charges
-can actually read

Think ya nailed it there. Connor also has a bit a bit more charisma. Yeah, he has that flashy side of him. But he just shines in the spotlight.

 

[Son of Jamin]

Two great fighters that likes to showcase their wealth as well as talking a lot, other than that not so similar...

 

[johncola]

Bullshit. Mayweather acts like a child. McGregor is actually funny and has interesting things to say. If you think they're the same, you aren't looking closely enough.

Then there's their fighting styles, an obvious reason to like Conor more than Floyd. I think Aljo is strictly talking about personality though to be fair

 

[blaseblah]

I haven't watched WWF since I was a kid, but I don't know how else to describe it: Floyd is a heel, Conor is a cocky babyface.

 

[ChildoftheCorn]

Lately I've been wondering why so many Black people hate Conor. He's loud and brash like many beloved Black athletes. I wonder why...
