Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Fallout: Video Won’t Kill This Media Star

The words floyd said are racist. The same way if floyd calls a black man a n****. Ali called joe a gorilla referring to the way he looks not bcoz he was black.

No he called Joe a gorilla because white people called all blacks that in the 60's. What do you think King Kong, Mighty Joe Young, and the Planet of the Apes movie symbolized? Funny how you avoided my questions but its all good.

Ok. Maybe you're right about Ali. I didn't know that coz i wasn't born yet in the 60's.

But still, floyd's used racist words

You're being ridiculous. You're talking about a man who threw away his Olympic medal because he was so disgusted with the racism he had to contend with. You're talking about a man who joined the anti-white Nation of Islam for the same reason.

first of all this is the fight game you sensitive ma****as.

Ali did bring race into it. He called Joe an Uncle Tom, and called him a gorilla in that racially charged time. He knew exactly what he was doing to promote the fight.

And people saying that if Tiger, or a basketball or baseball player said the same thing they would get crucified by the media. Well of course you idiots, but who watches ****in golf? Its a different crowd than the fight fan crowd. Fight fans get off of this ****, hate it or love it. Boxers get a pass for their behavior, when compared to other athletes from other sports.

Now it'd be different coming from Manny because his carefully cultivated image is one of humility, social awareness, and constraint. Going against that would go against what his fans have come to know him as. But Floyd is a notorious foil, and he thrives on controversy. He hasn't deviated from what made him big in the first place.

So cry about it... or go watch golf. ****

Nuthuggers will defend Floyd till death. He was on an online stream tirade because no one really cares about him right now and he will go this low just to get attention, pathetic, really.

If Pac said something like that I would be disgusted.

That's why they're called professional boxers, Floyd or any loud mouth b1tches in boxing should act like one even off the ring.

[TxHustla]

You are right. Maybe nothing will happen because of this.

Probably because no one outside the boxing NICHE really cares about Floyd Mayweather.

If Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Joe Montana, Wayne Gretzky, Kobe Bryant, David Beckham, Rafa Nadal, etc. - TRUE STARS - said something like this, ohh there would be plenty of attention.

This is further proof that, after DLH, boxing doesn't have a true high caliber athlete that the masses crave, like DLH, Leonard, Tyson, Ali.

yup i agree fully...but mayweather is up there..maybe a b lister on that kinda list..he still has to watch what he says but i dont buy this racist label..hes just a lil ****** dude acting ******..still immature but not a racist..

[Southpaw King]

and hug his nuts we shall do....the fact remains that you all still r talking and keeping floyd in your thoughts....simply put "hate it or love it the under dogs on top"

This is the second Article, I read in BoxingScene defending Floyd Jr ' Racist Comments against Pacman.

Mr Lyle Fitzsimmons the author of the Article, sounds more like a "spokesperson" for Floyd jr.

That's what Floyd jr. needs now - A spokesperson!

You see, Floyd jr was so silent up to the time Pacman-Margarito propose fight was finalized.

After that, Floyd Jr came out firing racist comments against Pacman!

You can defend Floyd Jr., anyway you want.

However, one has to set a good example to kids and to all fans, on what a Champ should ought to do specially in the public.

Good Character counts

[megas30]

what do you mean hate it or love it? of course anyone with decent amount of brain cells would hate it!

calling someone ***** is one thing but the racial bit was way too offensive for anybody's good. floyd should know better that he's got fans with 'proper' ethics. no one's perfect but that raving came from a lunatic!

What Floyd did was irresponsible, insensitive, ******, ignorant, and disrespectful, but no way racist. About 15 years ago, i remember HBO did a documentary showing Asians cooking cats and dogs. I used hear this growing up, but it was the first time seeing on TV...looking back in retrospect, i was appalled and disgusted. Where was the outcry then? Recently, i saw one, where they eat horse meat in France...these things aren't even stereotypes; they are documented facts.

I even seen people here complaining while sigging Floyd's picture on a KFC box...these ppl talk about jealousy, but the first thing they try to attack his Floyd's revenue sources. Floyd is an idiot in my book, but a damn good boxer, and i really think that's what he should focus on, and shut up if he doesn't have anything good to say.
