We haven’t thrown a Bitch Slap of the Week in a boxer’s direction maybe because the reality is, these guys could physically knock us into tomorrow. Regardless, we’re winding up and laying a few roundhouse and backhanded slaps on Floyd Mayweather Jr. for making racial slurs against Manny Pacquiao, the man Mayweather has been accused of avoiding to fight.

The content in the rant was as low-class as the quality of the video stream. But the shitty quality is all that rant deserved. Mayweather’s monologue lasted quite a while and was filled with enough mother f-er’s to fill a remake of the film, “Scarface”.

Our bitch slapping to Mayweather is nothing compared to what many analysts say the pounding by Pacman would be if Floyd ever quits ducking him and climbs into the ring to settle things.

Back to the video; this tirade is clearly demeaning to the Philippines living here and abroad and although we can all take a joke, this was the furthest thing from that regardless if Mayweather said so the following day in his apology.

So far, a lot of the negative reaction you would expect isn’t quite there as of yet.

Some of the profanity-laced rant is below. Now imagine if someone of another race was broadcasting this dialogue but directing it at an African-American fighter like Mayweather. (insert your own replacement words for example “yellow” to “black” and “rice/sushi” to “watermelon/fried chicken”) Seriously, do this and imagine the outcry coming from people of every race.

“As soon as we come off vacation, we’re going to cook that little yellow chump.. . . Once I kick the midget ass, I don’t want you all to jump on my d —. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. … Once I stomp the midget, I’ll make that mother f**ker make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice.”

….”that mother f**ker Pacquiao, he can’t speak no English. He never seen a contract he didn’t like. Mother f**ker signed with two companies, look it up. And then this mother f**ker with Nike only got 70 Gs. How stupid can a mother f**ker be? Reebok gave me a million dollars for three weeks. I wore Reebok s for a week for a million dollars.”

No more needs to be said.

Floyd, you’re getting our Bitch Slap of the Week!
