Comments Thread For: Mayweather Apologizes For Racism: But I'll Beat Pacquiao

[Hi-Dro]

he was also jk about fighting Pac...he didn't really mean it...


bring in Mathew Hatton...

[Pacquiao'd]

Actually, I'm not even black, I'm Asian. I agree with what you're trying to say, but he didn't say anything racially degrading towards Asians or Filipinos. He made fun of Pacquiao, and joked around with stereotypes to make fun of him about making sushi, rice, and eating dog. That's what a lot of people do when they clown. That's not being racist, it's joking with stereotypes. People do it all the time, it's not racist, it's clowning.

A racist person hates other races, and puts other ethnic groups down as a whole. If he called Pacquiao a ch**k or g**k, then that would be another story and he would be a RACIST. What Floyd said, yes, it can be offensive to people who are sensitive about it, but the man apologized to those types of people for his jokes towards Pacquiao.

I think most people are overly upset because they already hate Floyd, and they'll take whatever they can to try to bring him down. And I agree that black people would be upset for any comments regarding them, but guess what? This country already has a long terrible history of racism towards blacks, and on top of that there was slavery. People who can't accept an apology afterwards and want to keep taking these jokes so seriously are just trying to take it further than what it really is.

The funny thing is that the same people calling Floyd a racist are the ones that get on the internet anonymously and call him a monkey, n****r, and other terms that are actually racist and degrading towards black people...

good post...

Oh Jesus Christ. Hatton was undefeated and had stomped Kostya Tszyu out. Gatti had a 140lb title and was the fans favorite fighter in boxing. Coralles was in his prime and a huge puncher. Judah was one of the most dangerous guys around.

Floyd dominated all of them.

People give Floyd **** for having Marquez come up, but Oscar challenged Floyd to a 154 fight when Floyd had just moved up from 140 a year earlier.

Floyd dominated him.

People were posting here for YEARS that Floyd was afraid of Mosely, would never fight Mosely, ect.

Floyd dominated.




Come join us in reality, buddy.

ouch, manunt owned

with all due respect i know u know ur boxing but ok kostya tzu was a done fighter when hatton beat him and remember they hatton prooved before the floyd fight he couldnt handle a 147 division zab was a good puncher but he was also a shot fighter and again dlh and mosley were past there prime like i said earlier only 2 good fighters he has fought in their prime was corrales and castillo and he lost with castillo idk who else doesnt agree with me on that one

and you should know that floyd called kostya out and he didnt ant none of floyd. floyd called out many fighters and they wanted to. arum kept cotto and marg from fighting floyd be.c he didnt wantto pay.

called shane out and shane was ducking and dodging

haters gon hater

[daairupthur13]

you cant call somebody a ni**er, ****, ch*nk or some other racist term and apologize just like that.

the damage has already been done.

i didnt hear him call him a racial name jsut made references to sterotypes to get at him so im not sure what your really talking about?

[thatnickuh]

Really? Hypocritical? Then you must not be to familiar with me.

Seriously, you need to sharpen your reading and comprehension skills because you're constantly misunderstanding what's being said. I said that you're a hypocrite unless you have been consistent in criticizing everyone that runs around this site making racially insensitive remarks. Calm down so that you can take the time to read and comprehend before you reply.

Why should I hold Pac to the those standards? He never has said anything with a racial undertone towards Floyd. Maybe if Floyd was directing it to the fans I can see your poind and all trying to defend him. Even if he was directing it to the media. But, he was directing it to a man who has never said anything remotely close to having a racial undertone.

I'm not defending Mayweather, I'm challenging the hypocritical public. Again, your reading comprehesion skills seem to be lacking. Here's the inconsitency in your position. You called Mayweather fans who haven't come out and criticized him for his comments shameful and pathetic, yet you don't say the same about Pacquiao for not coming out and checking his legion of fans who constantly cross the line. Do you honestly think that Pacquiao is unaware of his fans' behavior and the racial insults that they hurl at Mayweather and his family? There is no way that he's not aware. You can't criticize Mayweather fans for not coming out against his comments and not criticize Pacquiao for not checking his fans, without being hypocritical. Team Pacquiao likes to promote the image of Pacquiao being a people's champ, a guy who loves his fans/people and fights for them. These fans/people reflect on him and you cannot deny that. If you feel as if it's Mayweather's fans responsibility to check him, then why don't you feel like it's Pacquiao's responsibility to check the people who support him?

Again, maybe Pac fans shouldn't say ****. OK I get that. But, it is a shame that some of his own fans won't hold him accountable and try to justify it and make excuses for it. Like you trying to do with the whole Pac fans, Pac fans. 2 wrongs don't make a right

If you truly "get that", then you would join me in calling the countless hypocrites who post here out. I'm not justifying anything that Mayweather said in that rant. I'm saying that Pacquiao fans are in no position to try and crucify Mayweather over that rant when they have said things that are much worse. Again, Why should I focus on making a big deal over Mayweather's comments when I see much worse being said here on the daily?

I know if Pac said something like that I would call him out on it. Hell if Tito Trinidad said anything with a racial undertone I would call him out on it.

Why wait to hear Pacquiao say something like that to call him out when the people that support him say things that are much worse all the time? Seriously, if you're so offended by racially insensitive comments then why haven't you criticized Pacquiao for not checking his fan base? In my opinion, people aren't really all that offened and they're just jumping on this because it's another reason to hate on Mayweather. There's no way that you can read the garbage that's posted on sites like this, youtube, ect on a daily basis with little to no problem, and be deeply offended by Mayweather's rant.

Hold on, why do you say Kostya didn't want none?

You do know when Floyd called him out it was damn near impossible to make that fight right?

Wow, people don't care that Mayweather said this... It didn't bother me and I'm not surprised he did it, he knows there isn't a single fight out there than can net him a 20mil+ payday and he has nothing else to do. The problem here isn't that more people will hate or like him, he doesn't care about that, he cares about money. Well someone forget to tell him that his sponsors like Nike and those ESPN commercials THEY have a problem with it. I wouldn't be surprised if they cancelled their deals with him and now all he did was look like an idiot and cost himself money. The main problem for Mayweather is that instead of PROVING he's the better fighter and getting in the ring he tries to "get" at Manny with this garbage. I just think its funny that Manny without saying a thing has gotten in Floyd's head, Floyd's already lost his best strength in the ring and the fight hasn't even started yet. ****** ass.

Good post!

I can also see something like this, based on the sensitive PC world we now live in...

they didnt come to a deal its jsut as much mnny fault as mayweathers...mayweather wanted more then a 50/50 deal and random test up to fight night and manny wanted 50/50split and a cut off date now of 14days which he rejected before in dec..they both wanted the fight in their favor one walked away and went to the media to pressure the other into their deal and the other just kept quiet...both to blame not one...thats the facts you cant say someones scared of you because they dont want to give you the best deal for yourself...

What did any of this have to do with the post you quoted...

[Pacquiao'd]
