The Mayweather Merchant Spat

Been going for a while now.

The issue of Merhcant being irritating shouldn't even come into it though. That's like arguing Chris Brown had some justification for hitting Rihanna because she was annoying as hell.

There are lines that just should not be crossed, and what Floyd said, on American's biggest family network was disgusting imo. I just can't imagine it happening over here in the UK at all.

If a British fighter had started mouthing off like that to Henry Cooper, or maybe a Formula One driver to Murray Walker he would be completely and utterly ostracized.

I'm just amazed that people seem to be accepting of it.

The bolded text is your answer...We Americans have gotten so arrogant and pompous that we dont even respect the old and not only that its absurd to even question it because its looked at like a normal thing.

Im including myself in this because I'm American but not because I'm proud of the behavior.
