I was wondering why no one has called out Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Surely they must have an opinion on it.

As soon as I saw " putting another nail in the coffin " I stopped reading.

Dan needs to start fighting better for his sport over at the ESPN office.

The fact he said it on video and the fact hes a huge sports figure is why the media is roasting him, but I still see no big deal with the rant. All of us have said something racist before, does it make one racist? no. My problem with the rant is, bitch dont run your mouth if you have ducked this so called "Emmanuel" Pacquaio

My bad I was talking about the Jeff MacGregor article.

Just what boxing needs? Hardly. Floyd Mayweather's rant is more like another nail in the sport's coffin.

The sports world is full of writers who don't spend their life covering boxing and they love to throw insults towards boxing.

the bottom line is this resulted in plenty of deserved negative press for floyd..nothing possitive as far as i can see will come as a result of this..the ego plus total ignorance of floyd and his insensitivity won out over reason....a glimpse of the future as far as a possitive possibilty is hopefully floyd has learned to think long before opening his mouth ..hopefully he will learn something from this and avoid stupidity in the future..thats hopefuly not a given unfortunetly...

he did think before he opened his mouth. It wasn't him going off half assed on video.
He did this on his u stream and then he tweeted about it.

He knew what he was saying and knew a firestorm was coming. He relishes it. He craves the attention. He enjoys being the villain.

There was this and another Dan Rafael article today alone on this.

Floyd won't wriggle off the hook this easy. Money better put his name where his foot is, and give some Filipino charity a million or two.
