Kevin Iole calls Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s rant hateful and racist:
"Mayweather referred to Manny Pacquiao as a "yellow chump," "a midget" and said "Once I stomp the midget, I’ll make that (expletive) make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice." He also alluded to his belief that Pacquiao uses performance-enhancing drugs, noting the fight will occur when Pacquiao quits, as he calls it, taking "them power pellets."
"(Mayweather's) corporate sponsors are going to run faster than Usain Bolt. It’s not likely that AT&T and Reebok, two Fortune 500 companies who have sponsored Mayweather, will ignore his words. You can count on the fact that his career with them is effectively already over. It’s going to be a brave company who would ever want to associate its brand with his name."

Just because someone has stuff doesn’t mean they have money. Just because someone keeps throwing around money doesn’t actually mean they have any. It usually means the opposite in fact.

Ok first off. Cooking rice is pretty simple. You just have to make sure you get the proper type depending on the meal and don’t go cheap on your rice cooker.

I'm sorry, I find "racist" jokes funny
All races, all the time pretty much. Have a sense of humor ppl. I think for real racism to exist there has to be hate. This is fight building. This is shit talk between ppl that are about to have a fight.
When the doors are closed, and you are with your close friends and family, most of you make the same kinds of statements.
I don’t think it’s “racist” to point out ethic stereotypes and poke fun at them. For that matter the definition of racism is believing that one race is superior to another. Nothing Floyd says points to that. Maybe bigoted is the better word to use here. And as Archy Bunker has taught us, bigotry can be cute, even loved by many ppl.

+1 for having a sense of humor
Floyd’s stereotyping if anything. And when he called him a “yellow chump” he was probably calling him scared.
Maybe some people here are racist for assuming he was being racist.
Let’s not jump to conclusions.

okay,
1. That wasn’t shit talk between two people about to fight… Floyd wants NOTHING to do with Manny. He’s just so insecure about the whole issue that he can’t stop shit talking.
2. Those weren’t even etnic stereotypes. Tepanyaki and sushi? That’s just plain stupid…
3. His statements prove that money can’t buy class.
4. Your statement proves that you’re an idiot.

Hi-larious
But telling Manny to go cook sum’ rice, is like telling Floyd to go pick sum’ cotton. Definitely racist.
I doubt that Mayweather would have a sense of humor about it.
..!..
After reading this
I want Manny to tell Floyd that.
exactly
if manny were to poke fun bout kfc chicken and watermelon, what would the reaction be?
floyd’s general statement would never make a dent in his brand, as he holds the ’i’m black so i can damn well say anyhing i want cause my ancestors faced more oppression than yours" card. its true its true
Nah, let’s call Floyd a racist bigot. If anything, having that card should mean he knows better.
Ignorant fuck.

People would be all over his ass if it was the other way around.
I’m surprised the Floyd nuthuggers can even try and defend that rant.
Don’t tell people to have a sense of humor because they get offended by this, this is blatant racism and Floyd means for it to be blatantly racist. None of this is funny, and not just because “oh, he said some offensive things,” it’s not funny because there is nothing humorous about the way Floyd stated this. You must have some pretty loose standards as far as what makes you laugh because Floyd basically released a statement that any 5th grader could have come up with.
Josh Barnett is a thrice proven juicer with a pro wrestling mindset and a personality that would lead you to believe he's never had a romantic encounter that didn’t start with "you gotta pay me upfront."
When the doors are closed, and you are with your close friends and family, most of you make the same kinds of statements.
speak for yourself only will you? just because you probably make these ignorant jokes with your friends and family, and you see your friends doing the same with their families and other friends, doesn’t mean the rest of the world does it too, it only means that your family and your circle of friends are a bunch of dumb pricks.
the following two things are signs of weaknesses:
stay silent when it's needed to speak up, and speak up when it's needed to stay silent.
Whats wrong with racist jokes, or sexist jokes,homophobic,obese,stupid,poor,etc? If we could not make jokes about things that are offensive to some people there would be no jokes left in the world, no more stand up, sitcoms,etc. Just because someone likes some rated R humor does not make them and there family dumb pricks.
I am free because I choose to be so-Me
I find them to be very ignorant and unfunny, if you like them, good for you. My only point here is that you shouldn’t assume everyone else does them or likes them just because you do… Everyone has difference of opinion on pretty much everything, you can’t assume ‘most of the people does these types of jokes’ behind closed doors is what I’m refuting here. Regarding the ‘dumb pricks’ line it’s my personal opinion.
the following two things are signs of weaknesses:
stay silent when it's needed to speak up, and speak up when it's needed to stay silent.
I do agree with you on that point, but I will say many people are hypocrites about issues of race. For many its ok to stereotype Whites,Christians,fat peoples,etc While other similar topics are taboo.
I am free because I choose to be so-Me
no doubt
I personally don’t have a problem of making fun of some of the stuff you gave examples of, such as religion and stupidity, but for me things that you are born as, and was not an ‘option’, such as race, gender, sexuality, etc, and health issues such as obesity among other things, are pretty much off the table IMO. but there are a lot of hypocrites for sure, we just can’t presume most people are though.
the following two things are signs of weaknesses:
stay silent when it's needed to speak up, and speak up when it's needed to stay silent.
I don’t think the issues here is racist jokes, the issue here is Mayweather not being very smart because these statements will LOSE him money and fans. I am not offended by what he said, its quite tame compared to so many jokes as you say. But for a public figure to say that just shows his poor critical thinking skills.
I am free because I choose to be so-Me

POOCH-EE-OW
It was pretty obvious his rant was racist, but i don’t really care about that. I’m still cracking up at how he pronounced Pacquiao’s last name. POOCH-EE-OW ??? HAH HAH.
Floyd needs the money a lot worse than Manny, Floyd doesn’t have nearly the power in this negotiation that he thinks he does.
Which he already did.
Then Floyd was like, “Fuck, he actually said yes” and then added some more bullshit terms.
by av1o3 on Sep 4, 2010 12:32 AM EDT up reply actions 3 recs
This is truth
Manny agreed to all of Floyd’s terms on blood testing and Mayweather said no thanks.
During this week’s media tour to promote the bout, Pacquiao said he gave in to Mayweather’s testing demands during the second round of negotiations.
“We agree with, you know, his demands,” Pacquiao said. “I wanted to know if that’s his real reason [for not signing to fight].”

and Manny also accepted them.
then floyd said… Oh shit why in the world would he accept that?! shit… what should I do now? oh wait! I know! ….uhh, sorry guys, I’m not thinking of boxing right now…

when he owes the government millions of dollars again he’s going to say, “I’m coming out of retirement again, for my first fight I will be fighting somebody that is four weight classes below mine”.

Unless its white on black crime Al wont say anything. Theres no money in talking about a black guy doing something racist. Al is nothing more then a media whore who wants to get his awful race baiting face on TV.

Pretty fucking pointlessly racist, but I do think you guys are a little scathing. I definitely would see his sponsors dropping him as an overreaction, he’s still the biggest boxing draw along with manny in the world.

I don't get it Mike
you’re trying so hard to make it sound like if it was the other way around, how much shit would Manny been getting? but the fact is that Floyd is getting shit for it, so your comments are nothing more than trying to make it sound like people only care about racism when it’s against black people. First you comment what Al Sharpton’s response would be for this, fyi, Al Sharpton doesn’t speak for black people, if the media wants to get his response for racist related stuff, then that’s on the media… if you don’t like him, call the channel that uses him the next time and tell them to get someone else for a change…
I always found that analogy a bit dumb, “What if it was a white guy that did this, bla bla bla” (this is used a lot by the media, specially Fox), if there is room to say this stuff, it means that there is already outcry for whatever it is that the person is trying to use that analogy for.

Muck Fayweather.
If I wake up tomorrow and see that the world has ended, then that means God has finally granted my prayers.
GO Armageddon!!!
And here's me thinking
Floyd’s “dickhead” image was purely an attempt at a throwback to the old school boxing world when selling fights. Turn’s out he’s just a racist wanker.
Goldberg: "He's got him in some kind of strange choke I've never seen before!"
Rogan: "That's a rear naked choke."
Mayweather apologizing isn’t goin to save the situation. There’s just some things you can’t say. If the tables were turned though, I think it’d be more of an uproar. I don’t understand. I’m black andlatino and I know I’d flip my case if Paciauo came out w/ a racist rant.
Maybe I’m wrong for saying this but the Asian comunity is lacking a strong political leader like Jesse Jackson. A lot of things have been said and I dont think enough has been done about it. Like the basketball team that slanted their eyes during a photo shoot. The only ones that got on their ass was the Olympic commission.
I REALLY hope this gets blown up. Cause this is totally uncalled for and shows an incredible lack of etiquette.
Sorry for the seriousness, I just got inwork doing overtime at 7am.
Personally I’d like a world with less people like Jesse Jackson. For me, if we all started not being offended by racist words, then people would stop saying them to get a rise out of eachother.
That’s just me though, shrug

I ain't gonna front...
I agree. Though I give props where it’s due for negotiating and bringing in some hostages. He would’ve gotten the Stamp of Badassery but everything in this world is racist according to him.
What he’s SUPPOSED to be is a speaker for the ones that can’t or don’t speak for themselves. It’s a double edged sword though. But in this case, I’d prefer a “strong leader” to say something about how offensive this is to the Asian community.
Or we can settle this like gentlemen or we can get down on some gansta shit. Frankly I’d prefer the latter of the 2.

As a lifelong boxing and fighting fan....
I have always enjoyed watching Mayweather fight. Unfortunately the guy is an idiot outside of the ring. He surroundings as a child obviously never taught him any real values or positive character traits.
It’s a shame, the guy has always had the potential to become a Jordan-like athelete. It’s painfully obvious that Floyd has some deep rooted issues. He made around 20 million for the Marquez fight last year and around 40 million for the Shane Mosley fight a few months back, and yet the guy has major money problems. He is still in trouble with the IRS and is rumored to be heavily in debt.
How do you make close to 70 to 75 million in 12 months and still have money problems?
The only answer I can think of….. Floyd is dumb as fuck.
