Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Fallout: Video Won’t Kill This Media Star

[brick wall]

talking about Floyd and not Pac and marg.....CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!


floyd stays winning

right!!! people are talking about floyd and floyd is talking about pac...so who's the winner now?

[Sizu]

Just imagine the backlash if it were Manny calling Floyd a nig....Saying sht like "I'll make him cook me some Collard greens and smack the fried chicken off his Black monkey lips".

there would be a worlwide boycott of Manny's fights. He'd be crucified. Then we'd have to hear from the clowns like Sharpton, James, Farrakhan, *****, etc...about race sensitivity and racism.

But since it's Floyd....

Floyd never said one thing about Asians, Filipinos, or Pacquiao's color. If Pacquiao called him a nig, or said Black monkey lips, then that's extremely racist, and degrading to black folks and everyone would hear about it.

Yes yes, its only been said a million times..

So the President is a clown...When since has he been a champion for African American Rights... He is the American President not the Black American President..


and this Video will make Floyd Bigger and Sell the fight more. Hate it or Love it.

what do you mean hate it or love it? of course anyone with decent amount of brain cells would hate it!

calling someone ***** is one thing but the racial bit was way too offensive for anybody's good. floyd should know better that he's got fans with 'proper' ethics. no one's perfect but that raving came from a lunatic!

And the consesus in the discussion is that he is an idiot! LOL!

if it was pac or anybody calling floyd a ****** and talking about chicken and watermelon we would have already seen jesse jackson and al sharpton all over tv and radio talking bout it....because thaats what black people do...complain and ***** about everyone else being racist ...when they`re `just as racist

Prolebrity: Maybe Floyd was still trying to find out the true meaning of that word found in his foundation...but because of his ignorance shown in the Ustream rant he clearly made comments that showed disrespect to people of other races. Floyd forgot that he is the role model of that foundation and also of his children. I feel sorry to those children of the Mayweather Foundation...Floyd Mayweather Jr. failed them. I feel sorry for Floyd's four young children. Floyd showed them that he does not have the qualities of a true leader.

You are right. Maybe nothing will happen because of this.

Probably because no one outside the boxing NICHE really cares about Floyd Mayweather.

If Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Joe Montana, Wayne Gretzky, Kobe Bryant, David Beckham, Rafa Nadal, etc. - TRUE STARS - said something like this, ohh there would be plenty of attention.

This is further proof that, after DLH, boxing doesn't have a true high caliber athlete that the masses crave, like DLH, Leonard, Tyson, Ali.

Yet Floyd Mayweather sells mind boggling PPV's, shares the highest PPV ever, and is surely going to break all PPV records when the Pacquiao fight comes along....

but you're right, nobody knows Floyd

I'm Asian, and nothing he said on there offended me more than what any of my friends would say when we talk smack. Saying pacquiao eats sushi and rice is not offensive cause he probably does. I eat rice every single day and night, so if someone told me to go cook some rice, why would I be mad? The dog thing, Pacquiao's own father ate his pet dog when he was 14. If you consider it racist, that video was very mild and was done to talk smack and clown on Pacquiao. He never said "asians are this" or "filipinos are that". Seems like Pacquiao doesn't even care about it, it's more like his fans that make it a bigger issue than it really is.

Add that he's the 2nd highest paid athlete next to Tiger Woods.
