Floyd Mayweather @FloydMayweather

Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise.

:lol :facepalm :lol

Name a black player who went from being in the NBDL a week ago to averaging 28 points, 8 assists and 2 steals and leading an NBA team to a four-and-oh week when they were previously on a five game losing streak?

All right, and if you can, you'd know that WE'D BE FREAKING OUT THE SAME AMOUNT. That shit just does not happen often.

I just got warped back to the days of Larry Bird and Isiah Thomas. Where Isiah Thomas basically said the exact same thing about Larry Bird after a playoff loss.

There is Lin hype because he has scored 109 points in his first four starts. That's the most by any nba player in history. Don't pretend like every point guard is putting up 38 against the lakers.

LIN should be viewed as a person who kept believing and never gave up...

ASIA has nothing to do with it...born and raised in California.

Mayweather has a point...kind of...but Lin is a amazing story as a person and a American who kept working until he got his chance...much like many other great stories.

Floyd is right, but not entirely. Like Droid said, dude is dropping 20+ a game and the Knicks have been winning...without their two best players.

I think it's more along the lines of the whole story of Jeremy Lin.

Going to Harvard and having the grades to back it up, Undrafted, D-League, waived twice..... to playing at all-star levels overnight and leading to wins, not just numbers... and it happened without Melo and STAT.

Ridiculous if you don't think the story is worthy of being sensationalized. The fact that he's Asian and not Black is just icing on the cake.

Floyd Mayweather is a great boxer. He is not a fighter.

He is also unfortunately a sad, ignorant, frightened racist who can never be truly comfortable around anyone who isn't black.

He has ducked every fighter who was a challenge to him, until they exited their prime, and he fights like a coward.

All bad things which happen to him give me a weak, sick of justice and pleasure. He is one of the very few professional athletes I can honestly say I have genuine hatred for. His personality, mind, and soul are so utterly repulsive that it causes me to sink to his level of hatred in return.

He is the worst type of human being. The lowest of low. Which is even more disgusting given the amount of money and influence he has.

F#@k him and anyone who likes him. And to those who love him, please explain how you can love the man.

I think you and others like you are entitled to your opinion. But to go as far as hate someone youve never met is completely insaneunless the man commited a crime. Floyd might be a dick. He might be a snob. He might be somewhat racist. He might even duck some people at times. But you dont hate him for that. You hate that hes all these things while being successful. Rich and famous.

If floyd wasnt an undefeated boxer. If he didnt have a billion dollars and insainly popular... U wouldnt give 2 effin s$!&ts

Pacman - don't know if you were payting attention but the pieces of the puzzle came togteher a while ago in this whole debacle and it Was Pacquiao's camp that wanted no part of Mayweather. As if the whole pacman refusing the testing wasn't enough, but arum recently made it known that he's been lying through his teeth the whole time about trying to make the fight happen when he had no interest in letting pacman fight mayweather.

After beating Pacman Morales then fights again thinking he's still got it and loses to Zahir Raheem in a fight where Morales was a shadow of his former self and looked awful.

You don't know $hit about boxing. Barrera alone >>>>>> Corales, Castillo, and past his prime Mosley. Prime Mosley and Dela Hoya would have KO'ed 2007 and 2010 Floyd Mayweather.

Pacquiao started his career in the Light Flyweight Division. A 19 yrs.old Pacquiao won his first title in the Flyweight division after defeating the undefeated lineal Flyweight Champion Chachai Sasakul.

Pacquiao beat up high ranked opponents in the Flyweight, Super Bantamweight, Featherweight, and Super Featherweight division. Watch some of his older fights on youtube.

Jealousy and envy are absolutely NO part of my hatred for Floyd. It is genuine moral repulsion. A poor bum on the street with the same attributes as Floyd disgusts me just the same. I am not jealous in any way, and especially not of his wealth or fame.

Perhaps people you know have hatred fueled by jealousy. But you have my motivation for hatred 100% wrong.

Lin was discriminated against his whole career because he WASN'T black. I wish Floyd could see that and feel like Lin is his brother in struggling to overcome adversity.

unfortunately, I think Floyd only feels compassion for black adversity, and has no love or appreciation for overcoming adversity itself. Floyd Mayweather is a small, fearful, ignorant, loudmouthed racist.

What I don't understand is how they are shocked by his quickness and quick leap. Asian genes are just as coordinated and athletic...The only difference is they don't generally put on muscle mass like black players and lesser extent white players. Plus the guy is 6'3...

It's true that no one has done what Lin has, going from the D-league to 38 points against the Lakers, but if it were his D-league teammate Jerome Jordan instead, he would have nowhere near the amount of hype as Jeremy Lin.

Every notable fight is on pay per view these days and pay per view costs more than ever, of course the figures are going to be skewed.

The Pacman/Mayweather debacle is one big reason reason people don't give a damn about boxing anymore. Mayweather in all his arrogance and greed can't agree to a 50/50 split of the money received for the fight and is likely dodging Manny to avoid a stain on his record. Pacquaio on the other hand won't agree to a blood test (possibly doping) and the fight never takes place. All that takes place is Mayweather running his mouth like a jackass, when he's not beating up his girlfriend. Not to mention, the heavyweight division is an absolute joke, no compelling fighters whatsoever.

Of course race is a part of it but what is also a big part of it is that the guy was undrafted, played in the Ivy League (not known for their basketball), his career prospects up to this point, the fact that he's playing point guard for the New York Knicks and all the talk up to this point has been that they desperately need a quality point guard, and that he is playing his ass off and has been the centerpiece to a 5 game winning streak. It still would have been a story if he wasn't Asian-American and he came to the Knicks and scored all these points and led them to 5 consecutive wins as an undrafted free agent who has done little in his career up until this point. It has just been catapulted even higher because of his ethnicity.

I don't view this as a racist statement. I view it as a "territorial" statement. Basketball is a black man's sport; they earn that title because they have been bleeding to be the best, so I can understand the resentment (including whites) that try to reclaim the title.

There is no racism in the world of sports: it's all about competition; I know true sports fanatic will NOT say, "Oh this guy is asian, so he automatically sucks."

This is the only part in society that brings all of us together to look beyond race and judge each other honestly based on what we do on the court as opposed to what we do off of it.

Mayweather is prob not racist for saying what he said; in everyone of us we always fear losing ground for something we can claim as our own. Pacquiao is challenging him for the boxing title and another asian is being revered on the same level as MJ. Also, don't forget, Yao Ming was overly hyped as the second coming too.

Mayweather is prob not a racist but just a true competitor who wants to see his people hold on to the successes they have gain.

Every race is guilty of this.

InspiredLebowski

The insane amount of hype absolutely has a lot to do with him being Asian. It also has a lot to do with his backstory (no D1 offers, cut twice, etc). It also has a lot to do with him playing in NY. He puts up the same numbers in Milwaukee the national media probably doesn't care all that much. But it absolutely has a ton to do with him being Asian, and there's nothing at all wrong with that.

He's wrong that guys do this kinda stuff every day though. They simply don't, it's never happened. Which is what makes it so weird and hard to know how to handle. It's not just him playing in NYC, it's not just him being Asian, it's when you couple it all with the backstory. It's just really surreal. And awesome.

You can tell when he asked for a blood test. He never asked for any of his previous opponent before. Then when Pacquiao agreed, he back down and said he is on vacation. Then he asked for no cutoff, Pacquiao said yes and back down and asked for more than 50-50 Every time Pacquiao agreed, he changed his mind. 50-50 would been really great. He blamed Pacquiao for not taking 40 million. Well it's a no brainer that the fight will generate more than 100 million. Pacquiao is also a big name who deserved at least half of that.
I am not too impressed with Floyd undefeated record, he's a great boxer but I can't remember any career defining fights for his legacy. I thought he can be like Sugar Ray Leonard after beating tough fighters like Corrales and Castillo when he came up but after that he has not taken any tough challenge. He has been fighting a lot of money fights. He should fought Cotto, Margarito and Pacquiao when they were all in their prime but instead fought Baldomirs of the world, and washed up and shot Mosley.

Floyd Mayweather is a POS. I've never respected the guy, never could. I think this MFer needs to keep his opinions out of the basketball world because he clearly doesn't know shit.

Has there ever been any other player of any nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, creed, age, religion, etc., who has gone from a dude in the NBDL to a complete nobody coming off the bench as a 12th man in garbage time to suddenly dropping 28 a night w/ 8 assists & leading his team to 4 straight wins? Name me one, Floyd. I'm waiting.

Who are you going to name? Antoine Walker? Greg Ostertag? Rafer Alston? Chris Andersen? Matt Barnes? Smush Parker?

Stupid ass mother****er. :facepalm

Lin might be getting attention by Asians because he's an Asian-American, but true basketball fans are amazed by this guy because of his level of play so far, not because of his ethnicity.

When has an African-American player ever NOT gotten a basketball scholarship but still made their college team, then DIDN'T get drafted by an NBA team. Then played limited minutes and was cut from two NBA teams, and sent to play in the NBDL, and THEN came into the league and averaged more points over his first four games in starts than ANYONE IN HISTORY?

Hint: nobody.

Then played limited minutes and was cut from two NBA teams, and sent to play in the NBDL, and THEN came into the league and averaged more points over his first four games in starts than ANYONE IN HISTORY?

Hint: nobody.

I sincerely hope Pacman finally gets a shot against Floyd and smacks him the f#@k up. I think both boxers are overrated, and both are essentially boring boxers, but at least Pacquiao has more class, love, and humility.

the rocky story has happened in football a few times..

most notably Mark Wahlberg* played a real life guy in Invincible


Bernie Parmalee of the Dolphins..if I remember was a ups driver, went to nfl camp, made the team and had a good series of games as a starting nfl running back

maybe 5-6 comparable football stories.....kurt warner* of the Rams....maybe 5 Black players I can think of


Lin is doing his thing but fact that it's the New York Knicks and a player of Asian descent definitely adds to the novelty of the story and why it's a national story as opposed to a local/regional story

that's why it is old news.
when did it ever happen in basketball, with "rocky" not only going the distance but knocking out apollo faster than anyone else before?

During the Barkley suns era..... there was a slightly built player who wore high socks who came out of NO WHERE to spark Phoenix to a grea run

think he replaced an injured KJ

remember the image of Barkley picking him up and carrying him like a child after he hit a big time shot in a nationally televised game....

guy might have been from DC(the socks)

I'm not Asian but its becoming clearer and clearer that Floyd has some issues towards Asians...maybe its the Manny factor....who knows...

But he seems to be anti-Asian or at least radically pro-black. The fact that he's taking the shine away from a kid who deserves all of what he's getting, is pathetic.

Floyd = Superb boxer, boring fighter, pathetic human being

After dodging Floyd for the second time, highly unlikely.

After dodging Floyd for the second time, highly unlikely.1st, Floyd dodged Manny multiple times before Manny ever demanded a 50/50 purse (can that really be considered dodging?)

2nd, are you saying the likelihood of them ever fighting is highly unlikely? Or that Manny would smack Floyd the f#@k up is unlikely ? Be real ..... That is anyone's fight of it ever happens.

Floyd was dodging him like a champ until Pacman looked beatable in his last fight. He was scared shitless of him. That's why he hates Asians.

this ballhugging of Lin is gonna lead to a backlash against him.Only by weak minded fan boys who can't appreciate Lin for what he's doing. If somebodies enjoyment of a player drives another person to dislike that player it says more about them than anything else. Sit back and enjoy Linsanity for what it is. This happens once in a blue moon for all of sports, it's too rare a moment to waste being negative if you truly love the game. This is why we watch sports, to see that special moment, to bare witness to that time that's out of the normal.

Lebron and Kobe and those guys will continue to do their thing but right now we have a kid who was sleeping on his brothers coach a few weeks ago playing all universe level hoops. This is the underdog story line, this is "Rudy" on steroids, he doesn't just get in the game, he kicks everyones ass when he does.

Enjoy we won't see this again for a long time

Lol. All he did was ask him to take a drug test. There's no excuse not to. The only reason you would ever refuse, is to hide the fact that you're CHEATING with PEDs.

2nd, NEITHER boxer is dodging at this point. Floyd wants the fight to happen, and so does Manny. Bob Arum is the one who's dodging this match.

Bob Arum is the one who's dodging this match.Bob Arum is currently the #1 inhibition for this fight, you're right about that. But be fair, you know the tiered, ever-changing conditions/excuses coming from Floyd during the first 1.5 years of trying to build this fight were grossly in excess of any comparitive "dodging" (if one can it that) of Pacquiao not wanting to have large quantities of blood drained from him 3 days before a fight and wanting a 50/50 purse split.

If anyone outside the realm of management has been the one worthy of blame of dodging the other....it's been Floyd hands down.

with your logic, Floyd used peds for 40 fights, right. And no, Floyd didn't just ask him, he outright accused him.
