Mayweather decided to use his mouth as a weapon, when he went on a tirade filled with expletives and racist comments about his Filipino counterpart. The 33-year-old world boxing championship fighter has now teed off not only folks in the boxing world but Pacquiao's devoted fan base. Many industry experts are also stating that Mayweather could have also dug a hole for himself, alienating quite a number of his own admirers.
Here are some excerpts of Mayweather's profanity-laced video:
" 'Poochiao' got three losses and two draws and been knocked out twice," Mayweather said. "So, like I said before, once I beat him it's going to be a cakewalk and it's on to the next. ... We know Pacquiao made $6 million in his last fight and Floyd Mayweather made $65 million in his last fight. Three losses, two draws. Ohhh, hell no, this is America, baby. We built on winning. Step your game up, f----t. ... That mother f----r Pacquiao, he can't speak no English. He never seen a contract he didn't like. Mother f----r signed with two companies [Top Rank and Golden Boy]. Look it up. And then this mother f-----r with Nike only got 70 Gs. How stupid can a mother f----r be? Reebok gave me a million dollars for three weeks. I wore Reebok s--t for a week for a million dollars. ... This mother f-----r's name is Emmanuel. He got a fake name, taking power pellets."
"I'm on vacation for about a year, about a year," Mayweather said. "As soon as we come off vacation, we're going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain't worried about that. So they ain't gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don't want you all to jump on my d--k. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. ... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that mother f----r make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice."
Mayweather, oddly enough, also broke out in a strange song where he referred to Pacquiao as a "whore" and added:
"When we do come back, we'll kick 'Poochiao's' ass. I'm gonna fight the Pacman when he gets off the power pellets."
Although the young boxer, who flaunts an unblemished professional record in close to 50 career bouts, has apologized (see video below) for his offensive video, all is not forgotten.
Unfortunately for him, he's a tad too late; the boxer has come under attack by countless industry watchers, including writer Michael Rosenthal of The Ring who writes:
"The No. 2 fighter in the world pound for pound has the maturity level of a 3-year-old. The video coincided with the beginning of the Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito media tour. Mayweather just couldn't stand the fact his rival was receiving attention and he wasn't, so he took his shots at one of the most-decent figures in boxing. Other observers have blamed the sycophants who hover around him for the fact he's a spoiled brat, which obviously plays a role. He must also accept some of the responsibility. The man is 33 years old, for God's sake. Isn't it time he starts acting like it?"
Meanwhile Pacquiao dismissed the video last Friday at the final stop of a three-city tour to promote his fight:
"I just heard about that, but I didn't see the video. But it's an uneducated message."
When asked about the possibility of a Mayweather bout Friday, Pacquiao responded:
"I'm not looking for that fight. I'm satisfied with what I've done in boxing already."

I am tired of these people making racist rants towards other people and faking a apology,so people will like them again not because they were sincere. Dr. Laura, Don Imus, Floyd and people like them are never sorry for what they said because they wanted to say those things. He could have said what he said without offending people. He need to stop being so prideful because pride comes before fall.

@Julie! I, too, am also tired of "folks" sayin all this stupid stuff then almost immediately backin away from it when it was what they intended to say all the time. Could respect it a whole lot more if they apologized if they offended anyone as opposed to apologizing for what was actually said. For me there's a difference, feel me?

AFRAID!!!! Is that what you come up with? Tell you what; let me get you a box of tissue Tito because I guess you'll be crying like the rest of the pacroid fans once Floyd cooks that ass. As far as what Floyd said, hell I have said a lot worst to a person I don't even know for rubbing me the wrong way & have had words said to me even worst. MESSAGE "THEY ARE JUST WORDS" When was the last time you seen a person’s words kill. (My bad) George Bush said the words that sent innocent soldiers out to a war that got them killed
But other than that, they are just trash talking words that people use every day. If you got thin skin then don’t listen or read what someone you know is going to say that offends you.

I disagree. Boxing insiders know Mayweather (41-0) would kick that juiced-up midget's butt. And believe me, Mayweather don't need the $$$ and Paquaio is the one saying he doesn't want to fight.
You wanna come on this site and mouth your (subtle) racist garbage about that man being 'afraid'? Hey, keep your opinion but IMO, your opinion is wrong. Does right and wrong even matter to you?

Floyd is lunatic, an ugly coward, his mouth like the anus of a cow with thick lips, must be very odorous, did what his hands cannot in the ring. I believe he is mentally ill and needs psychological treatment.

Floyd, I am from Grand Rapids, MI I have been following you for a minute now and I have to ask for you to be a professional fighter why the hell you gotta make us look bad!! As far as we came being called n*gger, monkies,guerrillas,why would you stoop as this low to talk to this man in this manner. Oh, you making millions so its ok for you to degrade another race? Why would you go so far as to disrespect this man in this manner!! Yea your and undefeated fighter but you sound so ignorant!! You sound like your mind and intelligence is defeated!! Don't be anotha dumb clown @ss nigg@ for the world to get amusement out of!! Ali never sounded this ignorant and he stood for something!! How you gone represent our people talking like you got a 1st grade education!! I know you can do betta!! You the best at this boxing thing why not be the best all around. Stop showing these mickey fickey's that you came from nothing and still clinging on to nothing!! Show them you came from nothing and became something, something or someone that is undefeatable let em know they can't mess wit yo body, mind or soul!! Your pride so big yet your biggest fight is with yourself and that huge ridiculous ego you try and maintain. Let em know your a strong black man with pride and honor and that they are to respect you because you demand it, not with your fist but your intellectual charisma, your resounding effort to achieve and climb height that many men fall from every day,reflect a man of divine statuesque helping the young to understand your plight and that every blow you throw, all the blood sweat and tears you shed, & all the punches you've taken reflect that translucent light that broke through the darkness and shined for the whole world to see, giving so many hope that they too may have a chance!! You not shining right now homie!! I don't care how many millions you've embraced you not shining!!

Chief, that was some down right Strong Good Advice!!! I am not a Mayweather fan, I like the Pac-Man(my wife and in-laws being filipino may have some thing to do with that)! But I loved what you had to say!! Now I am White/Irish just so you know where I am coming from, I grew up in the 70's in a very mixed neighborhood. We were all low to barely middle-income peepz. But funny thing is we all got along, now we did have fights between us like all boys do, but it was never about race! And to tell the truth the white family's were the worse. Three single moms in the hood, 1 black, and 2 white(one of them being my mom and my family)
! The one guys would of been voted, most likely to go to jail!! Cause the other single mom family she had 5 boys and they were in and out of juvy all the time. Now Ms Hawkins(the black single mom) was strict, her 3 kids knew better than to step out of line. Point is we did not have all that race hate pushed on us so we did not know we were not supposed to get along!! It gives one a great outlook but it does/did make it hard to be that open in life!! But I like what you had to say, there was no need to go low brow, the Ali statement was right on!! Ali ran his mouth but was always a man of class and honor, Mayweather not so much!! Glad to see some one call him out but do it with out being an azz back, You are One Class Act Chief!!!!

He was just trying to hype the sport, no big deal. Only liberals will make an issue of this. They get into a ring and beat each other to sh%t and all of a sudden words are foul. Get real. Boxing is at a low and he was trying to entertain the fight fans. Still a dumb way to do it but it was all in sport...That kind of sport. One of the reasons boxing is boring today is because boxers are too friendly. People love them when they are afraid of them and hate them. Please take race out of the mix....People miss Mike Tyson days and the Ali days. Boxing has always been seen as a race war. (sport).Johnson,Ray Robinson,and others. No big deal.
