(Source: http:///www.wikipedia.org)

Controversial boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has apologized for his racist remarks against seven-division world champion Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather said. “I want to apologize to everybody. They felt it was a racist comment that came from me. I don’t have a racist bone in my body, you know. I love everybody. Some of my guys are Muslims. Some of my guys are Jews. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, whites, it doesn’t matter. There is nothing but love in my heart, you know what I’m saying?"

According to the website, Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/) from July 18, 2005 through June 2, 2008, Mayweather was rated by The Ring magazine as the number 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world. Mayweather has won nine world boxing championships in five different boxing weight classes. For his achievements he was named Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year in 1998 and 2007; Best Fighter ESPY Award 2007, 2008 and currently 2010; BWAA Fighter of the Year 2007 by Boxing Writers Association of America; ESPN.com Fighter of the year 2007; The Ring Magazine event of the year 2007, 2008; and currently The Ring Magazine comeback of the year 2009.

The Diliman Diary earlier uploaded a Youtube.com video on September 4, 2010 showing Mayweather working himself up into a racism-laden frenzy against Pacquiao who currently holds the distinction of being the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world; a title Mayweather seeks to usurp through trash-talking and maybe even actual boxing (http://diliman-diary.blogspot.com/2010/09/floyd-mayweathers-anti-pinoy-racist-and.html) .

Floyd Mayweather's Anti-Pinoy Racist and even Homophobic Rants caught on Video

Editor's note: This video shows an incredibly racist Floyd Mayweather going beyond the usual extremes of pre-fight trash talk as he readies for an upcoming fight with seven division world champion Manny Pacquiao (see picture below):

Excerpts from  Bakitwhy.com reveal the extent of Mayweather's trash-talking (Source: http://tinyurl.com/232kyyp) which drives up our blood pressure and makes us pray that Coach Freddie Roach's prediction that a fight by Pacquiao versus Mayweather would be "easy" (Source: http://tinyurl.com/2dbk44w) will in fact come true - if negotiations for the fight to occur are ever finalized:

 “For someone who finds plenty of excuses not to face Boxing's Pound-for-Pound King Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. sure got a lot to say on his Ustream!

Mayweather repeatedly referred to Pacquiao as a "midget" and said "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."

Mel Gibson, Don Imus, Michael Richards, Adam Carolla, and all those other guys (deservingly) faced a big backlash against them for their racist statements, but this racist, homophobic, profanity-filled, and downright ignorant rant by "Money" is seemingly ignored by mainstream media.”
