Floyd Mayweather News: 'Money May' Urges Public To Focus More On Police Brutality, Veer Away From Bill Cosby
Despite the strong response he has gotten from UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, retired undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. continues to play the race card.
Mayweather's most notable racist accusations involving "The Notorious" mainly stemmed from how fight fans would adore the Irishman for being too much of a trash talker, but would brand "Money May" as "cocky" and "arrogant" whenever he was the one doing it.
"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," Mayweather said in a December 30 interview with Fight Hype. "So biased!"

Mayweather has maintained that "racism still exists" in boxing today. But most recently, he hit back at a grander scale.
In a report by Edward Chaykovsky for Boxingscene, "Money May" was up in arms about how the public has been treating veteran comedian Bill Cosby.
The report adds Cosby has been accused by at least a dozen women for allegedly drugging them and forcing sexual acts. The 78-year-old celebrity personality had only been charged once, but remains free after he posted a $1 million bail, pending trial.
According to Mayweather, people are seemingly forgetful about the police brutality cases over the years which, according to him, are usually swept under the rug.
"There's a lot of young black males and females being killed by police, being beat up by police," Mayweather explained. "But those are things that we don't talk about. We'd rather talk about stuff with Bill Cosby that happened 30 or 40 years ago."
Mayweather also maintained that he is "far from racist" and that he "likes and loves everyone." For him, the focus should be put on something that he deems to be more socially relevant, as opposed to an old case that happened decades ago.
Mayweather himself had his own run-ins with the law. In 2012, he served a two-month jail sentence for misdemeanor domestic battery.
