It's 2017. Trump is President and Floyd Mayweather is about to make $200 million for one fight.

I know that you sometimes have to take a step back after moving two steps forward, but this is ridiculous. As a father of a daughter, and frankly as a person, it's a pretty shameful time in our nation's history.

1. I have no issues with Mayweather

Trump though...

[sarcasmo]

15. The IRS has a lien on the fight purse because Mayweather owes 22 million in back taxes

From 2015. Floyd is very similar to Don the Con. Loud, obnoxious and both men don't pay taxes.

[AngryAmish]

16. Floyd Mayweather has repeatedly beaten women.

He has gone to jail for it.

He may be the greatest fistfighter of all time but as a human he is garbage.

On edit:. Mayweather will win this fight and if I call a round I say 10. This fight will not be close and ALL the sharp money is on Mayweather. If anyone gives you anything close to even odds on Mayweather it is a complete bargain.

[HipChick]

17. So are we really going to whitewash the fact that the white guy hit a woman too?

Does not it right , but to call out one and not the other?

[AngryAmish]

18. I must confess I am wholly unaware of the time McGregor ever hit a woman

For about the last five years he was under contract to an organization that would suspend him for such behavior.

If you could end my ignorence I would enjoy it.

[HipChick]

19. Surely Google is not broken in your part of the world..

The public stuff is out there...

[onenote]

2. It was 2015. Obama was President. And Floyd Mayweather made more than $200 million for one fight.

Mayweather's earnings as a boxer have nothing to do with Trump being president.

[Vinca]

3. At least Mayweather's working for it. Trump just scams people.

[Not Ruth]

4. A person of color will earn 2x more than "insert your description" for 2-5 minutes of work in 2017

Economic justice leads to social justice

Can I get a hell yeah?

[panader0]

6. If Mayweather can make through two or three rounds, he will win.

He knows McGregor is going to come on strong and try for an early knockout.
It won't happen. Mayweather is too quick, and McGregor has never fought a real
boxer. However, I don't think Mayweather can knock him out. I see the fight
going the distance with Mayweather embarrassing McGregor.

[Not Ruth]

8. It is a boxing match I believe

Boxer vs non boxer in a boxing match

McGregor loses and sets a MMA rematch

[JI7]

10. it's for the money his name brings to the business.

[brooklynite]

5. The two have nothing to do with each other...

...if you don't like Mayweather's payout, all you have to do is convince everyone else not to pay to watch it.

And while you're at it, demand that nobody buy any more copies of HARRY POTTER. J.K. Rowling clearly has too much money.

[Bleacher Creature]

9. The point was that it's been a really good year for two people who abuse women. NT

[obamanut2012]

7. And McGregor will make about 10 million -- good for bith him and Floyd

Although Conor deserves to make more, but Dana White and the UFC are cheapskates who treat their talent that isn't Rousey or Jon Jones like chattel.

[Initech]

11. That's why I can't stand UFC.

Dana White is an ultra freeper and Trump supporter, among other reasons to hate him.

[Not Ruth]

14. On SNL tonite, they said McGregor has at least $75 million guaranteed

[JI7]

12. I don't care for mayweather or the sport itself. But the money he gets is from business

From people who pay to watch the crap.

[Bleacher Creature]

13. I have no issues with athletes getting paid. My issue is with him being a serial batterer of women.

And that's why I referenced Trump. Both of them should be, at the very least, pariahs. Instead, they're both at the top of their professions.
