    Good *, where did I blame them for everything that was wrong with modern Ireland? I highlighted them as an example of everything that is wrong with modern Ireland, 'tis no wonder you can't understand what he said was racist! I am still not offended by anything, apart from your stupidity, of course.

    Sounds like you're blaming them to me? What are you doing then?

    As a black man, I find that highly offensive...

    Can you not read? If you can, you can understand it, otherwise don't worry.

    You can call me boy all you want, I am from Cork! I use the word at the end of every other sentence, but, as we have established, you don't grasp the subtleties of language too well.

    Calling you boy and calling Mayweather boy is no different.

    Can't call a black man boy. That's a new one.

    Having you arm/ leg snapped or having your baws booted would be agony but in terms of long term health your going to be fine. When im talking about boxing being more dangerous I was thinking more in terms of brain damage. Your brain doesnt ever heal and you only ever get one.

    In an MMA fight if your beating the * out of someone they can clinch or go for the take down and in most cases the fights are just 3 rounds.

    In Boxing if a guy is getting outclassed hes just going to receive loads of blunt hits from someone who trains day in day out how to punch someone. Even if the guy is not a big puncher that cant be good for your long term health. I think they fact they are bigger gloves is irrelevant as well, means you will get kod less but you will be on the receiving end of more sustained beatings.

    @cambridgebhoy

    Not being able to say the word boy to a black man is an example of people's free speech being taken away.

    You can't say a perfectly inoffensive word because someone might be offended by it if they dig deep enough for a reason.

    Never mind McGregor being part of what's wrong with modern Ireland, people like you are a part of what's wrong with society.

    Boxing is more damaging than MMA long term, but not over the time time of one fight.

    I'm not talking about a boxing career versus an MMA one and what the long term damage is. Entirely different argument.

    People getting annoyed about stupid * like that makes a mockery of genuine racism.

    You can't even have tea anymore, in case it annoys a Pakistani.

    You can't even have an electric fire in the bath anymore, in case it upsets the queers.

    Even still if he ends up going 12 rounds in a very one sided fight that the damage he takes to his brain will be much greater than the damage he took during the first Diaz fight which is the MMA fight he took the most damage in.

    I dont buy that this is a safer fight for him than an MMA fight

    If he goes 12 rounds with Mayweather, I guarantee you he'll have taken less damage than the first Diaz fight.

    If anything he likes black culture and tries to imitate it.

    People were trying to say he was racist to Jose Aldo when he came out with that line about invading his Favela on horseback , which is a lot of * as well.
