Floyd Mayweather Jr. Makes Racist, Homophobic Slurs in UStream Chat

In a UStream chat with fans, boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. taunted rival Manny Pacquaio during the course of a ten-minute video. Floyd Mayweather's broadcast took an unpleasant turn as he taunted Picquaio with racist terms before turning on "haters" who had tuned in to watch.

A Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquaio fight has not yet solidified due to various contract negotiation breakdowns, but the two have clashed in other ways.

The video contains plenty of language viewers may find offensive, such as "Once I kick the midget ass, I don't want you all to jump on my d*ck. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. ... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that motherf*cker make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice."

"The video speaks for itself," Pacquiao said in a statement given to ESPN.com by his publicist, Fred Sternburg.
Animated as ever, Mayweather at times spoke directly to the camera and at other times kept the recording running while he made calls to fans who had posted messages to his UStream and Twitter pages.
