Mayweather crossed the line calling McGregor a faggot during the London presser, but he is saying that he was provoked by something McGregor said off mic.
Mayweather’s team released the following statement.
“The reason Floyd called Conor the F word is because Conor called Floyd a monkey. Floyd has nothing against gays or lesbians at all … Floyd has them on his staff. Floyd has nothing but the utmost respect for gays and lesbians.”
It wouldn’t be a stretch to believe this actually happened since McGregor loves calling people monkeys. His intent really doesn’t matter, he knows calling a black person a monkey is wrong, but he continues to do it.
This allegedly happened off mic which the Mayweather camp believes was intentional by McGregor.
With that being said, Mayweather can’t lose his cool and use homophobic slurs in response.
I think everyone is glad the press tour is over.
