Kevin P. Chavous: College Readiness Is More Than Academics
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."

Floyd Mayweather is an idiot! He mistakenly believes that because he is paid millions to fight that he can say or do whatever he wants. He is a good fighter, I must admit. However, he is not a real man! Grow up Floyd. Flashing wads of money does not make you a man...your character and how you treat people when not in the ring are what define your manhood.

Mayweather is no doubt a great boxer but he needs to know the difference between promoting a fight fight and promoting intolerance and ignorance. Respect is just the minimum and I'm sure he will want to re-evaluate these distasteful comments about and another human-being regardless if he is an opponent or not.
Let's get back to the basics; boxing and promoting.
One Love!

Hey Marco. If it were not for these "ebil whitey debbils", your kind would be extinct by now. You are handed everything on a silver platter. Our government has spent over 2 trillion dollars in the last 40 years trying to please those you cannot please no matter what. Know one thing. The race card is old and tattered and no longer works. There are a lot of us out here that see right through you. In conclusion, the white man is your daddy, has always been your daddy and always will be your daddy.

Marco I thought blacks cannot be racist? This boy just proved yall wrong! Talk about racist crackers. You don't care about americans, you care about blacks, When the americans went to haiti to help black kids and put in jail, blacks went crazy to convict the americans because they were white but alas they were all let go because the were innocent. Egg on all your black faces! Yall are hypocrites. Everytime you open your mouths you put your pink feet in them!

We know that boxing is a very competitive sport. Floyd wanted to prove to everybody that his the best boxer on this planet, but making insulting remarks against the person you think is a threat to your legacy is unacceptable. Boxing is also show business, and if Floyd wants to play the villain to create attention is fine. But creating attention by insulting a persons race is beyond decency.
Floyd being an African American, I was quite surprise with your comments or I might as well say RACIAL INSULTS!!
Floyd you're the better boxer, but Manny is the better person. When fight night comes, I know you will defeat Manny the boxer, but you will never win against Manny the person b'coz his got the decency to show restraint against your insults and gentleman enough to show tolerance.
Floyd you might have all the m$$$ney in the world, but it cannot buy you manners. You can buy education, but it doesnt make you feel educated. You can live in Beverly Hills, but it will not provide you breeding. You can buy a Mansion, but it will never shield you from your Ghetto.
Its not too late to change Floyd..use your influence and your money to change lives instead of wasting your time destroying Manny's credibility.
always remember Floyd:YOU CAN NEVER PUT A GOODMAN DOWN!!

What a fool this idiot Floyd is, only fear can make a man pretend to talk tough. I can only see Floyd with Diarrhea every time he thinks about stepping into the ring with Paquaio.

America us to be and still is good at "Forgive and forget", especially when it comes to the rememberence of slavery, so why not forgive and forget? Eventhough as a Believer, I "once was blind, but now I see". We all need to grow in JESUS.(I am still growing after almost two decades of walking with JESUS). We need to be more concerned about offending JESUS, than men/women. Love is not what you say, it is what you do. I thank JESUS for dying on the cross for me, but HE was patient with me until I learned to obey HIM, through HIS Word, and learning from an Anointed teacher/Preacher of the Bible, also GOD'S Word along with prayer helps me to grow.

It was not a racist so called rant at all. He should never apoligize for saying what he thinks to be true. People get too offended just because they think there is something free in it like automatic victimhood statas. God bless America. Lets hope people will grow a skin soon as this whole thing of calling someone a racist at the drop of a hat is gitting very old.

Whoever called this clown "Pretty Boy" has a lousy sense of humor. If this was a publicity stunt, the guy succeeded in hitting a nerve: I definitely look forward to his getting beaten TO A PULP by Mr.
Pacquiao and having a banquet of his own repugnant tongue.
I believe from his words that this sick ass has some sort of incestuous maternal fornication obsession; perhaps he has such carnal knowledge, and assumes that others have similar sexual inclinations I suspect that his only power against Mr. Pacquiao may lie in a spring-loaded middle finger.
