RE: The race under card - Conor McGregor uses race to promote his fights.
I would rather Mayweather didn't do that because that would make the toxicity of this promotion even worse, especially after his own homophobic comments and history of mocking people's cultures as well. You're right. This isn't what martial arts should be about, but sadly boxing has had long history of racial tension. You would think someone would try to change that instead of perpetuating it.
I would normally agree about McGregor, but his habit of doing this shows he knows what he's doing. He's promoting to a fan base that enjoys it, and with his increased financial benefits, I don't expect him to stop any time soon.
