Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a modern day legend but...

[-EX-]

I can't defend him on this ****** move but like Bringer said...this may not hurt him too bad cuz the people he disrespected were most likely rooting against him in the first place and this isn't the NFL or a diff sport where there's a centralized authority...

Even if you boycott his fight, if its against Pac, that isn't getting boycotted obviously...

Floyd is always full of ****, I really don't see how these comments are all that different from **** he has said in the past (slave wages, calling Steward an Uncle Tom, ect.).

I still don't get why people care so much about what an obviously uninformed individual has to say.

Ehhh, if you're really that offended by Mayweather's rant then boycott the remainder of his fights. That would be taking a real stand against what you claim to be offended by. Will you really be satisfied by some hollow apology that he may give under pressure from the media? If so then you're not as offended as you claim. People need to learn how to separate the man(woman) from the athlete. Just because you're a fan of the athlete doesn't mean that you have to be a fan of the man. My guess is that you won't boycott any of his fights because you're a fan of Mayweather the boxer, not the man.

Ok dude. You are probably a blackofobic. Many racist people (most) are. You live around racist people and IF you aren't one yourself I'm sorry.

Lets suppose you aren't a dedicated hater, if your friends make a racist remark and you feel it offended a big part of the population, here's what MOST, not all racism witnesses do:

Ignore that ****;

Pretend they didn't hear it;

But never, never, would you turn against your own, no matter how ****ed up **** they believe or say, even if you don't support them.
SO WHY DO YOU EXPECT THE REST OF US TO ACT DIFFERENTLY.

I did more than most and actually stepped up and made a thread saying, hey, Asian people, I don't stand with Floyd ON THAT.
Will I stop being a fan? NO. Will i boycott **** because of it? No.

Lets not forget the most racist people on this site are all green karma people, they do have allot of non-boycotting friends.

So your replay was just silly.

He doesn't get much love true and when you are the best you get hated on and it's hard to show a good heart. But when you don't have nothing good to say the very least you can do is to STFU and don't go on acting like a racist which was what Floyd did. That was wrong and we, the fans are parting from that, let it be clear, we are not racists and we do NOT support racism or racist ideology.

I must say racism comes from both sides of this never ending virtual fight, case and point, the KFC buckets calling Floyd a chicken endorsed by a chicken food chain is racist.

Sure you can say, hey they were referring to Floyd being a chicken and not to the fact blacks love chicken but then one can argue, Floyd was referring to Pacquiao being a good cook and not the fact asians like rice. See? Two can play that game. So lets cut the crap, both episodes were racist being the difference the fact Floyd actually said that while Pacquiao has his fans doing that for him.

Mayweather Jr. Lost reputation. He also lost his moral value. Poor Mayweather Jr. Parents. Completely FAILED!

It must have started with the grandpa.

I like Floyd way more than I like Manny, but Floyd is and always will be full of ****. There is no point defending what he says, even when I try and explain some of the more valid points he makes there are still flaws in how he says thing because he is not good with words.

Like I said though I fail to see how this is much different than what he has said in the past, I just don't think Floyd's word are worth that much time and worry. He obviously said what he did to get a rise out of people, to me if those comments upset someone why do what that person wants, then you are playing their game. If you wrestle with a hog there is no way to stay clean~

If you want to know something about me then just ask. No need to make ignorant assumptions.

I don't think that you comprehended my comment. I agree, most of the racist or race-baiters here are Pacquiao fans. I think it's hypocritical of those fans who say things many times worse on the daily to act outraged over Mayweather's comments. I'll go even further. I also don't believe that Pacquiao is some kind of victim here either. I think that he is well aware of his fan base and how they've flooded the internet with racist and below the belt comments about Mayweather and his family over the last several months, yet he's said nothing. He hasn't checked his fan base at all for their behavior. To me that means he's partly to blame. That's my stance on the issue.

As far as my original comment to you, I stand by it. I think that if you're truly offended by Mayweather's comments then you should take a real stand. Asking for a public apology isn't taking a real stand because if Mayweather issues one it will be strictly for PR purposes. The apology wouldn't come from the heart. Honestly, I don't think that people are truly offended. I think that this is just another reason to hate on Mayweather. Do I stand by Mayweather's comments? No. I don't have to though, I'm a fan of the boxer not the man.
