Video: Conor McGregor on Mayweather’s comments: There’s people buried in the desert for less than that.
“I think Floyd needs to learn before he opens his mouth. Don’t put a man like me in a situation like that. Don’t put my name in something that has to do with prejudice when you don’t know nothing about me. I am a multicultural individual. I take from all cultures. Look at me; I’m a product of many cultures as a young Irish man. So for someone to put me in that; I know he wasn’t saying that I am that person, but it put me in that bracket, and I did not appreciate that one bit. There’s people buried in the desert for less than that.”

“And what’s so crazy, I don’t really know the McGregor guy; never seen him fight. I heard his name actually from one of the runners that works for our company; a little kid named Ken Hopkins, he’s a runner and takes care of a lot of the daily business. Whatever we need, he takes care of. He’s a cool little kid, I like him, and he does MMA. He told me about the guy McGregor. They say he talk a lot of trash and people praise him for it, but when I did it, they say I’m cocky and arrogant. So biased! Like I said before, all I’m saying is this, I ain’t racist at all, but I’m telling you racism still exists.”
