I have tried to reserve judgement on Floyd Mayweather, because he is perhaps the best boxer alive today. But his recent comments about asian basketball sensation Jeremy Lin created another firestorm of controversy about the bitter, hypocritical Floyd Mayweather Jr. While crying and complaining like he usually does about how he always gets targeted unfairly, he seems to have conveniently forgotten about his racist and bigoted statements towards Manny Pacquaio a couple years back. What’s the most sad about this, is that Floyd is a leader in the black community as an ultra-wealthy athlete and is sure to have influence. He obviously is JEALOUS of Jeremy Lin and can’t stand seeing him become a media sensation.

While, as a boxing fan, I usually try to leave race completely out of my commentary, the complete ignorance of Floyd’s statements were appalling. While complaining about being treated unfairly due to his race, he unleashed a diatribe of vitriol on Manny Pacquaio solely targeting his race, saying that he was “little yellow chump” and bragging that he will force Pacquiao to “make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice” after beating him. He also talks about asians eating dogs.

At Least Manny Pacquaio Will Support an Underdog Like Jeremy Lin

Humorously enough, Manny is obviously a big fan of Jeremy Lin as evidenced by his tweets like “God Bless Jeremy Lin.” There are so few asian athletes in mainstream America, it should be applauded, NOT complained about, when one manages to break through in a primarily African/American and European dominated sport like basketball.

Floyd Mayweather is a complete idiot in that Manny is actually FILIPINO and not Japanese. They are two completely separate cultures and countries. To Mayweather, all asians are alike obviously in his xenophobic view of the world. This is even more hypocritical, because he constantly complains how he is discriminated against, but fails to see how racist his actions are. If Manny had said similar statements about Floyd Mayweather, he would’ve been boycotted.

Also, if Floyd had not said those statements about Manny years back, no one would’ve made a big deal about his current statements about Jeremy Lin. He would’ve just been a bitter hater, like he always is. But he refuses to acknowledge the impact and hurt his previous statements caused because of his blatant bigotry and stupidity.
