When floyd talks, the sports world listens. Within 20 minutes of posting that comment on FB mayweather was trending on twitter. By now every sports outlet is talking about it.
All roads really do lead to Floyd mayweather jr.
The rant Floyd made about Manny was racist. This tweet about Lin is just ignorant, though not entirely off base. Lin deserves to be recognize for what he's doing, and his ethnicity as well as his skills has been strong factor in his incredible rise in popularity. He's a freaking Asian dude who has played incredibly well in the last five games in a league that all but wrote him off because he didn't fit the mold of the NBA's preferred player type (i.e., black and athletic). That is just the mentally of the league and you gotta give Lin all the credit in the world Lin for breaking through that mindset and making the most out of this opportunity.
All that being said, the mainstream media needs to calm the hell down. Linsanity is just too much hype. 5 games against mostly poor competition is not that big of a sample to gauge just how good a basketball player Lin will matured into.
Mayweather is a genius at selling himself.
Lin is the most talked about athlete right now, it makes perfect sense to bring this kid up regardless of what sport, it's all press and keeps money in the publics eye.
Pac claimed to have talked to God?
Jesus Christ this is getting ridiculous.
That reminds me of that George Carlin quote
"If this side believes God told them to win and their opponents side believes God promised them victory , can we at least admit God is fuucking with somebody."
floyd is now on yahoo and their handing him what he deserve's , its gonna be like a holiday when he goes to prison , the whole world now knows what a scumbag he is , the wifebeater is getting exposed
watch floyd cry on his promotional event and how people hate him , your a douchebag floyd now evryone knows it , he's gonna claim he aint gettin no respect and blame evrybody else , i hope u go in jail soon
why is this filth allowed here?

quit polluting the board/thread with your kiddish post
Floyd makes a peanut remark like he usually does, possibly to self promote to his "urban" fanbase (HBO's words, not mine) and all hell breaks loose. MP has the balls to say God speaks to him, possibly to self promote to his very catholic and very religious fanbase and nothing......:dunno:
Can't believe one dude can stir up such a sh*tstorm with a two line twitter comment. It is FU*KING HILARIOUS :lol1:

his "racist" comment probly got him an extra 500,000 PPV buys
:hitit:
imho floyd is really racist but it is also true that he would get extra ppv hits for his controversial comment...
you would think his twitter followers would be going down but instead it is going up
Mayweather is not only a masterful boxer but he is a masterful "ATTENTION GRABBER" and the fans and people in the media TAKE THE BAIT EVERY TIME and this is why he continues to say the things he do, as if he didn't know that comment would get peoples attention, that is why he posted it on FACEBOOK AND TWITTER
maybe that's what he really is:dunno:
i've known some people who like that...they talk without thinking of it's possible effect on other people. that on itself is already bad enough...using it as a promotion is repulsive as far as i'm concerned.
I respect your opinion, I just dont see it that way, but it doesnt mean I'm right and you're wrong, or vice versa. What else can we do but speculate...
This is the way the scribe ended his article on yahoo:
"Pacquiao, ironically, is one of the most celebrated Asian athletes of our time.
Maybe at some point he'll have a chance to reply to Floyd with his fist"
Maybe someone should tell him Pac has been touched by the divine and might be retiring after Bradley.
mayweather is money hungry and attention hungry. of course its part of his antics. not saying the man isnt racist, but his statements about Lin are clearly for exposure and attention. why would a multi million dollar p4p best boxer in the world randomly make a racist comment about an asian rookie b-ball play for nothing? it doesnt add up...
maybe that's what he really is:dunno:
