Did Floyd Mayweather Jr. just call Manny Pacquiao stupid?

 

"Just by speaking to Pacquiao on the phone, I mean, he's not one of the sharpest knives in the drawer," Mayweather said. ([url]http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/7626619/floyd-mayweather-jr-says-manny-pacquiao-not-one-sharpest-not-getting-50-50-split[/url]).

Seems like the animosity between the two champs will continue to grow exponentially, and its all Floyd’s doing. Starting with the racial slurs, Mayweather Jr. continues to pepper Pacquiao with insults every time the media makes an appearance. Whether Floyd was referring to Manny’s decision to reject his offer or in general, essentially he devalued the Filipino Congressman’s intelligence.

Some assume this to be a very smart business trick, a way to elevate and continue the excitement that the potential of their fight brings. Others simply label Mayweather Jr. as a racist who is obviously running scared.

It could be both, or may perhaps be neither, no matter who Mayweather Jr. is, there will always be people who give him the benefit of the doubt. Personally I think that while some tactics and verbal assault is good for promotion of fights, there are times when crossing the lines becomes very apparent. Floyd has reached that point, and is now starting to come off as absurd.

Manny’s intellectual rank is not only unknown to most of us, but more importantly it has nothing to do with Mayweather’s inability to get him to fight in May. Sorry Floyd, this one is a miss.

 

stupid floyd is talking to a guy that didnt even speak english 10 years ago and he is supposed to understand everything out of his mouth? what a ****ing idiot. does floyd speak anything other than english? no. pacs stupid because he speaks 2 languages and isnt 100% fluent in the second one

 

if hes so smart let me see him speak tagalo

 

I dont think Manny is stupid but turning down 50 million seems to be rather foolish and some may even think stupid. However Im not the one because anytime someone can come from living on the streets to being a multi millionare and a congressman is not stupid to me.:bbb

 

50 million? Who's the stupid one?

 

Lol i'm still confused to why Pacquiao hasn't learn't english...

he does spend most of his time away from america though...

If I went over to say Japan for a few months every year I doubt i'd learn the language...

Gotta remember Pacquiao didn't have a normal education right?

Probaly didn't learn to read and right for a while also...

 

of course he stupid. hes the #2 cashcow and still turning tricks for his pimp Arum atsch

 

It was a 40 million offer he turned down. Not 50. It was also an offer that wouldn't allow him to benefit from PPV performance.

So yeah, he was really foolish to not accept that :rolleyes

 

Well, he is. He wants to be President but he's manipulated like a child or a special-needs child at every turn. He's made ridiculous amounts of money yet is only worth 24 million. Bob Arum runs mental laps around him daily.

On the positive note, it helps his popularity b/c it endears him to his mostly-******ed flip fanbase.

 

Floyd. And for an easy fight too. atsch

Reading comics isn't an education either. Better ax Leonard Ellerbe.

 

Hes not stupid, thats fear at work.

 

:yep

 

OK so Manny is a very intelligent individual.:think
