From Yahoo: Mayweather apologizes for racist tirade?
This is the statement that came from him, I think he sincerely mean it but I want to hear words from you guys, this is for everybody and not just for Manny or Floyd fans;
http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slug=ki-mayweathe...
This is the words that catch my attention;
“I do want to apologize for what happened the other night,” 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?
“I heard this from a few people. The only thing I want to say is, anybody who was offended by what I said the other day, I apologize as a man. I apologize. Forgive me for saying what I said. I was just having fun. I didn’t really mean it, nothing in a bad way. So let’s stay on this roller coaster ride and keep riding, baby. It’s all love.”
Thanks

As a black male I am embarrassed. Floyd should know better than to yell racial slurs at people…especially a gifted boxer who does not speak with his mouth, but his fist and excellent boxing skills. Floyd’s group should have told him to simply SHUT UP and sign the contract. If Floyd ever does make it to the ring, he’ll have a skilled champion tearing him apart. I really would like to see Manny fight Floyd, because it would be great to see Floyd running around the ring.
Leave the racist remarks in the past. If we ever want to positively evolve, we need to stop these senseless and pointless rants.
Knock him out, Manny!!!

Since he apologizes i have no reason not to believe him,i am being serious,i will always accept an apology from someone who talked trash,it's not like he murdered or killed or raped,i mean racist words can be harsh,but that's all it is,words!
Anyways why would i take seriously any man who refers to all these "Muslims,Jews , Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans" as races?
A Muslim can be any kind of race , same goes for a Jew,both of them are religions!
Ricans can be any kind of race as well , black as Trinidad or mixed as Cotto or white as Ricky Martin , same goes for Dominicans , Mexicans are not a race either but a nationality!
So me having friends from Australia , Austria , Argentina , Spain , Italy and Germany makes my company multi racial or multi national?They could all be white as snow from these specific countries right?Floyd's lack of education and intelligence obviously and he failed again !
What i can't understand is why people are taking what an uneducated , ghetto , pure product of the American hip hop subculture, has to say so seriously?
Come on guys Floyd is a 5'7 man who is calling a 5'6 and 1/2 man a midget,this is the man you are taking seriously?
5 years from now he will be broke and bankrupt,you should feel sorry for people like him not mad !

All i comprehend is that if Pacquiao observed this i'm specific he would have in simple terms laughed or handed over it and then pass on. he's plenty greater advantageous than that and could no longer slump right down to Floyd's point. His fists will do the speaking and optimistically Floyd gets the @ss whooping that he's been inquiring for.

I think Mayweather knew he crossed the line and that's why he made this video. I give him credit for manning up and apologizing. It may take a while to forgive and forget, but Mayweather is definitely taking the steps in the right direction.

I don't think if he mean it but if such is sincerely true, then why he didn't directly mentioned the name of Manny, that what he said is for him and not to anybody else.
He just says; "Sorry Manny".
Such words are enough for him to conquer the heart of boxing aficionado.

The guy got angry, ranted and is now on a suck up spree. Better for him to say "yeah I was angry, I said some things that were quite rude, sorry"

Money was just talking trash.
I knew he meant no harm.
So now he apologized and told everybody that he meant no harm.
Even The Prodigy realizes that Money's words were no big deal.
Maybe The Prodigy should apologize to Y.A. Then maybe he will be allowed to ask a question.
