Sep 4, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Floyd Mayweather Jr. has managed to hog the limelight once again but not for his boxing prowess inside the ring but rather for an expletive-laden video that was released recently that saw the American boxer slamming Manny Pacquiao. In the video which was released online on Thursday, the American boxer is seen unleashing a profanity-filled racist and homophobic rant against the Filipino boxing champion.

In the video, Floyd Mayweather Jr. goes to extent of calling the Filipino boxing star a “midget” as well as “whore” while he says that he would beat Manny Pacquiao after he returns from his current vacation. At the same time, the video witnessed the American boxer reiterating his claim that Manny Pacquiao administers performance-enhancing drugs owing to which Floyd Mayweather Jr. is also facing a lawsuit filed against him by the Filipino boxing champion. Given the profanity laced rants of Floyd Mayweather Jr. against his arch-rival, it hardly comes as a bolt from the blue that the video has already become viral on the web with netizens vigorously searching for it, turning it into a dominant search on the web.

Although the derogatory remarks made by the American boxer against Manny Pacquiao has left all the fans of the Filipino boxer enraged, the boxing champion has dismissed the comments made in the video. While talking to reporters, the Filipino boxer has described the online video released by his arch-rival as an “uneducated message” and rather choosing to concentrate on his next bout which is against Antonio Margarito. Meanwhile, Manny Pacquiao’s attorney Fred Sternburg said through a statement that “The video speaks for itself.”
