Mayweather Attacks Pacquiao
Racist, Offensive Rant Posted Online
Undefeated American boxing champ Floyd Mayweather, Jr. recently posted a video online in which he verbally attacks Filipino boxing star Manny Pacquiao. And, perhaps not too surprisingly, the verbal assault is anything but mild. Dan Rafael of ESPN.com calls the video a "profanity-filled racist and homophobic Internet rant," and that is probably the best way to put it. During the 10-minute video (which has been posted on UStream and Youtube), Mayweather unleashes a string of insults and accusations, often using obscene language in the process. Below are some quotes from the video:
"I'm on vacation for about a year, about a year," Mayweather says. "As soon as we come off vacation, we're going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain't worried about that. So they ain't gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don't want you all to jump on my d***. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. ... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that mother f***** make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice."
...At this particular time I don't know if I'm gonna fight again. As of right now, I truly believe I am gonna fight again, but as of right now I don't have the urge to get up. But when I do got the urge to get up, believe me my UStream and my Twitter fans will be the first to know, and when we do come back, we will kick 'Poochiao' ass. So I'll let the fans know. Don't worry, we'll kick 'Poochiao' ass. He's gonna take the urine and blood test."
...'Poochiao' got three losses and two draws and been knocked out twice. So, like I said before, once I beat him it's going to be a cakewalk and it's on to the next. ... We know Pacquiao made $6 million in his last fight and Floyd Mayweather made $65 million in his last fight. Three losses, two draws. Ohhh, hell no, this is America baby. We built on winning. Step your game up, f****t. ... That mother f***** Pacquiao, he can't speak no English. He never seen a contract he didn't like. Mother f***** signed with two companies. Look it up. And then this mother f***** with Nike only got 70 Gs. How stupid can a mother f***** be? Reebok gave me a million dollars for three weeks. I wore Reebok s*** for a week for a million dollars. ... This mother f*****'s name is Emmanuel. He got a fake name, taking power pellets."
"The video speaks for itself," said Pacquiao in a statement given to ESPN.com.
If nothing else, this outrageous rant at least gives hope to many boxing fans that there will be a match-up between Pacquiao and Mayweather some day.
