    Shoud there be any consequences for Floyd, yes. In reality will there be any, no.

    He sure isn't going to be ask by Pinoy Phone Cards to be their sponsor.

    Upstate New York. So in the west, barely a 2 year difference when your in your 30's is enough of an age gap to call one another young?

    And I don't seem to be the only one that heard yellow.

    Not sure about the defamation lawsuit, but this will only help PACMAN's case....indirectly of course. Should Floyd have serious consequences....Not in my opinion. I don't believe he racist but he was irresponsible and completey wrong with his comments. He apologized which is all we can really ask of him. He damaged his own stock so we should just let it go. If he does it again then he'll be held accountable...I hope.

    Consequences for free speach are not up to government to penalize and state athletic boards are the defacto governing bodies of boxing...

    Consequences are up to the fans and the legal positions of those whos rights were violated by floyd's untruths....

    I don't think so. What for? Let Floyd be Floyd. And that is to be an ignorant, ******ed, stuttering idiot.

    What gets to me is the hypocrite *****s defending him and acting like he's a saint and it's ok. But would be getting their periods and protesting on the streets like cry babies had Manny said something about blacks. It's sickening.

    Blacks tend to be hyper sensitive about comments that have even a slight hint of stereotype. I guess they feel that way due to their history in dealing with massive oppression. Unless Zoeller's comment was not in the context of a joke, it is parallel to Mayweather's rant. Therefore I don't think Zoeller should have been punished in such extreme manner. All that was needed was an apology and it should've been water under a bridge.

    Call it one way or the other. That's all I have to say about the situation. If we are to punish Mayweather, then Ali, Tyson, Arum, Mayorga, Hopkins, and whoever else is guilty for "crossing the line" should get the same treatment. I don't have a problem with this at all. DO NOT set double standards and single out one guy. This should apply to not only sports but should be implemented all across the board in American society.

    There have been many reports on Mays rant, so I wanted to know if anyone felt like there should be more of an action taken against him. I dont think im streching anything.

    He has always said ridiculous things like this, so has Floyd Sr, and so has Roger. Who cares? They are all idiots.
