In all it's glory:
"I'm on vacation for about a year," Mayweather said. "As soon as we come off vacation, we're going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain't worried about that. So they ain't gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don't want you all to jump on my dick. So you all better get on the bandwagon now... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that motherf***er make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice." He then referenced previous claims of drug use saying: "Don't worry, we'll kick 'Poochiao' ass. He's gonna take the urine and blood test," and concluded: "This motherf***er's name is Emmanuel. He got a fake name, taking power pellets."
My favorite parts - someone who is 5'8 calling someone who is 5'6.5 a midget, and of course the sushi reference. If you really wanted Pacquiao to cook you something (rice based), what would it be?

I'd feel strange asking Pacquiao to cook me something, but I guess it'd be fried rice.
I've been waiting for this fight for a long time. Mayweather may run away from his oppenents in the ring these days, but he used to be a pretty decent knockout artist before he was concerned with his title. Still, I'm rooting for pow pow Pacquaio. He's got homing beacons in those fists, iron homing beacons at that.
As for Mayweather's comments.. he might be trying for the whole Muhammad Ali thing, but if he is, he's not even close.
"I'll beat him so bad, he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on."
"If you even dream of beating me, you'd better wake up and apologize."
Ali was hilarious and witty, now we just get ignorant racist comments. Le sigh.

It's all showmanship, generating interest in the match. Audience like to see people fight for personal reasons--as well as money.
Now if a wife and broken windows were involved before they had a set match... Yeah, I might believe that they've got something personal going on.

So fried rice is the real Philippino equivalent of Sushi?

lol at claiming that Pacquiao has a 'fake name' - pure stupidity.
Emmanuel, how can you not see Manny derived from this? A great analogy would be Matty with Matthew.
If we want to talk 'fake' names, then what about Eminem, Jay-Z, Big Pun etc? Not that I consider these to be fake names myself, they are obviously nicknames or stage names (I'm a fan of hiphop), but you have to be amused with Mayweather's logic, or lack of...

I'm not sure I'd call it showmanship as much as propaganda. Showmanship requires class, something racism is lacking in. |

My favorite parts - someone who is 5'8 calling someone who is 5'6.5 a midget That reminds me of the time several years ago with one of my exes(who was white), when I'd taken him out to an Asian New Years festival. He said something along the lines of "I felt like such a giant amongst all those Asian guy munchkins". For the record, he was about 5'10, and there were Asian guys there who were 6' or taller. Apparently, a common side effect of racism is delusion. |

Since I have been twice to Pacquiao's hometown of General Santos in Mindanao, I can tell you that it is known as the Tuna City, the Tuna capital of the Philippines - so this is what you should be eating there.

But how do they prepare it? Tuna sandwich? Fried tuna rice? Tuna stew? Tuna steak with fried potatoes?
I'm hoping it's not tuna sushi and Mayweather was somehow right...

Hmm. I've read that he loves Thai food and eats it while training. Also that he loves steak. He said once that goat was his favorite food, but he may have been joking.

^ It could be true that he likes goat, since people use goat meat in dishes like calderetang kambing ;D But how do they prepare it? Tuna sandwich? Fried tuna rice? Tuna stew? Tuna steak with fried potatoes? I'm hoping it's not tuna sushi and Mayweather was somehow right... Most likely it's prepared as 'pried pish' (lol!) or in soup (together with cooked rice) ^^ I have a feeling Manny is a good cook... |
