Remember recently Dr. Laura a radio host was given all this attention by the main stream media for using the N word. Mayweather is huge boxing star and you better believe that the media as CNN wont cover it.
If Pacquiao said that Mayweather was fried chicking eating monkey he would be destroyed and so would his boxing career, Al Sharpton would be asking his sponsors to leave him.
What double standard, i am not black or asian, just calling a spade a spade, so keep the flames to yourselves flomos.
If anything, Floyd is guilty of what you're complaining about. How many times have we heard Floyd bring up other fighters finances or personal issues. He did it with Mosley and his divorce. He's constantly bringing up how Pac gives up a big percentage of his purse to Arum. Etc.. What is it Floyd's business how much Pac keeps from his purse? How in any way does that affect Floyd? Its not as if Floyd is losing money due to Pac's deal with Arum.
Your exactly right!!!

Not suprised at all. It has always bothered me that celebrities personal lives commented on when the media and fans don't know these celebs personally.
I can't stand the paparazzi. I feel that should be outlawed its crazy how they feel they have the right photograph those people and they kids. I mean they harass these celebs at funerals and when they out to dinner with they family. Fuuny part is I guess they wouldn't that sh!t if it was done to them.
I live DC and hate when tourist are just snapping pics and videotaping random people like that is OK its not IMO. Its one thing to take a picture of a building and get people caught in the background but to purposefully take pics of strangers I have a major problem with.
When you're a low key celebrity out to dinner and are getting heckled, I totally understand. They want privacy.
Floyd on the other hand brags about being the biggest **** talker in the sport, and actually looks to stir up **** and cause contraversy. He loves the limelight. This is life. If you act like an ass, you're going to be treated like an ass and get criticized for it.
You're right, but when you act like a complete ignorant fool every time the camera is on you, then u have to kind of expect it. You have to remember. This is a boxing forum. I can understand your rant if criticism of Floyd was being brought up in a religion forum, or a political forum. This is a boxing forum, and Floyd's name is brought up everyday here. Dont see why you're suprised that he's taking heat for this, or as you put it..."looking into his personal life"

I mean geez Deev, its not as if Floyd put his own personal life out there for the world to see.
That poor Floyd, everyone making him do and say all this dumb ****.
Hes so oppressed.
I hope thats not directed at me cause if it is you missing my point.
Syringes being thrown at Bonds I am fine with cause that has to do with baseball not his personal life. T.O. plays the game of football well that man is a HOF lock. All that other **** shouldn't matter cause its said and done off the field. Football is the only reason people even know who T.O. is same as PBF with boxing. My point is if the sh!t has nothing to do with these men in they respective profession then the sh!t don't matter. PBF comments has nothing to do with his in ring performance. In ring performance is the only thing that should matter

Tell that to his legion of merry faqqots who love to talk about PPVs and his health and safety.
Well when you're a celebrity athlete, it comes with the territory. It happens to all athletes of all races. Fans bashed Randy Johnson when he came to NY and said something negative about NY and its fans. It happened to John Rocker the MLB pitcher when he made a racist/homophobic comment. It happened to Terrel Owens when he was acting like a complete jackass. Did the fans have to personally know Barry Bonds in order to throw syringes on the field when he was under the microscope for being on steroids? The list goes on and on....
Lets stop acting as if Floyd is the first celebrity athlete to draw criticism and hatred from fans.

You right. At the sametime before this video even came out people talked about his personal life as if they really know HIM. I never said they shouldn't react or have an opinion. Still what he said does not mean that people who watched the video know HIM to comment about him as a person. Why would I not like him as a person cause he doesn't do what I would do in my personal life? That is how people on here are going and it has fvck all to do with boxing.
IMO Charles Barkley was right with his role model comment!!!

I am not familiair with them
They killed Emmitt Till, a 14 year old Black boy for apparently whistling at a white woman back in 1955.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c9/Emmit_Till_body.jpg
Who's going into peoples/Floyd's personal life? Floyd made this video public for all to see. Its not as if someone broke into his house and leaked a private video of him. He wants people to see this. Are the fans not suppose to react or have an opinion on his idiocy?

Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam were racist,
so what? I am not familiair with them
Adolph Hitler was racist, so what? World war 2! And still looked at as a dispicable human being
Mel Gibson is racist, so what?
Was publicly chastised and apologized and he is a douche.
Michael Richards is racist, so what?
Was publicly chastised and apologized and isnt't a good stand up
You said all this to say what?? Cause you still didn't answer my question. I have no problem with people feeling a way about what PBF said. What I will never get is why people care so much about these people they don't know as a person. Being passionate about the sport is one thing. Once you go into these peoples personal lives that has nothing to do with boxing. What part of that don't you understand?

Jay Z said it best... "You can pay for school but u cant buy class"
What's so hard to understand? This is a boxing forum where many fans are passionate about the sport. Now u have Floyd Mayweather spewing degrading racist nonsense, and u expect fans not to be turned off or upset at him about it?
I wonder if you would have the same attitude towards this had Pac said he's gonna chop Floyd up with some fried chicken and watermelon.

It wasn't a rant. Believe me I really understand what happened to the native americans. I read books on this type of stuff it crazy. I know about the diseases. I mean the american government gave them blackets with TB so they would get sick. Just fvcking cruel and crazy!!!!!!
I know a bunch of people have been wrong in the past for stupid reasons and the shizz is retarded. "Why can't we all get along?".....lol that's how I about that stuff. Why do we need wars and to hold people down? Life is too short to worry about stupid stuff you know?
Someone, anyone please explain to me why I as a grown man with my own life should care about any athlete as a person?
Funniest thing is the public don't even know these people personally but comment as if they do.

how does this clown have any fans? it boggles the mind. as a boxer he continually avoids the best opponents and he's a despicable person who constantly spreads hatred and ignorance. if you are a fan of any of that then you should be ashamed.
