Will Finally Agreeing To Face Pacquiao Erase The Stigma Of Mayweather’s Racist Remarks?

Racism - making the race of other people a factor in attitudes or actions concerning them. It implies a belief in the superiority of one's own race.

Tungod, Inabanga, Bohol– There’s no stopping Mayweather’s mouth. It fears no criticism… disregards the consequences… and knows no boundaries. But will the owner of that enormously notorious mouth be man enough to put his money where his mouth is? That is, of course, the prevailing question that only the ultimate boxing villain can answer.

About a day or two after his racist-flavored verbal jabs against pound-for-pound king Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, Mayweather expressed his apology, which is apparently more intended to save his endorsement deals that might have gone awry as a result of those racist rants rather than his being really sorry about it. But the public knows better than believe yet another one of those Mayweather publicity stunts. That huge mouth is certainly a clear indication of his vast hunger for attention… and the people know it.

Truth be told that racism isn’t that much of an issue in the Philippines than it is in the US and some other parts of the globe. Pacquiao, in a recent interview, even just laughed off Mayweather’s out-of-this-world rants, saying that he doesn’t need to comment on anything that Mayweather says because Margarito is the one he’ll be facing off with come November. The very unassuming Pinoy boxing great then added that a boxer can be great, popular, and successful without putting other people down. He also said that he wants to be a good example for other aspiring boxers so that people will erase negative impressions about the sport. After all, it is, according to Pacquiao, a sport for gallant and honorable men.

Pacquiao, notwithstanding all his legendary achievements, remains magnificent, magnanimous, and gracious of the praises and accolades he so deserves. On the other hand, the more Mayweather talks, the more he makes himself unworthy of being the face of the sport. He is an attention whore and a disgrace not just to this sport, but also to his ancestors who fought and died for the rights and freedom that he now abuses.

But what if Mayweather finally agrees to trade mitts with the guy that, most of us believe, makes him piss his pants off? Will it make a difference? Will all his audacity become a little bit more acceptable? That, of course, still hangs in the balance, as Mayweather is showing all indications that he wants no part of Pacquiao. Is he afraid to get beaten up by the guy he considers a midget? Or does he know deep down inside that the only means and avenue to beat Pacquiao is outside the four corners of the squared circle? You be the judge!
