Manny Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, is not surprised with the profane video recorded by Floyd Mayweather Jr. a few days ago. In the now infamous video, Mayweather make numerous profane and racially-laced comments in the direction of Pacquiao. Some of Mayweather's comments in the video even stunned his most loyal of supporters. Comments like - "cook him up with some barbecued dog" and "cook that yellow chump" and "I'll make that mother f**ker make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice" and "this mother f**cker's name is Emmanuel. He got a fake name, taking power pellets."
Mayweather returned a few days later with in a new video, where he apologized for the comments.
"I do want to apologize for what happened the other night. I want to apologize to everybody because everybody thought that it was a racist comment that I said. I don't have a racist bone in my body. I have nothing but love for everybody. Some of my guys are Muslim, some of my guys are Jews. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, whites, ...it doesn't matter. I got nothing but love in my heart. All i want to say is, if anybody was affected from what I said the other day, I apologize as a man. I was just having fun. I didn't really mean it," Mayweather said.
Roach watched the video. He thought it was a very cheap shot by Mayweather, but he's not surprised.
“It’s really a cheap low blow, but again, consider where it came from," said Roach to GMA News. “We tried to fight him . He said no. He doesn’t want to fight."
