Floyd Mayweather: 'I'll cook that chump'

Floyd Mayweather Jr., who has steadfastly refused to answer questions about the most recent round of failed negotiations for a fight with Manny Pacquiao, has unleashed a vile and profanity-filled racist and homophobic rant against the Filipino star.
In an approximately 10-minute UStream video, apparently made Thursday, which has also been posted on YouTube, Mayweather also repeated his assertion that Pacquiao uses performance-enhancing drugs, an accusation that resulted in a defamation lawsuit from Pacquiao earlier this year.
Mayweather, apparently in his home with a handful of members of his entourage in the background, ripped into Pacquiao repeatedly during the video.
"I'm on vacation for about a year, 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 ***, I don't want you all to jump on my [expletive]. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. ... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that [expletive] 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.
The tirade came as Pacquiao is in the midst of a three-city media tour to promote his Nov. 13 fight with Antonio Margarito -- a bout taking place only because Mayweather refused to fight him. But Mayweather sure made it sound as though the fight with Pacquiao, boxing's biggest bout and the fight many believe will shatter all revenue records in boxing history, will eventually happen. They have already had two rounds of negotiations fail -- in January and again this past spring.
"At this particular time I don't know if I'm gonna fight again," Mayweather said. "As of right now, I truly believe I am gonna fight again, but as of right now I don't have the urge to get up. But when I do got the urge to get up, believe me my UStream and my Twitter fans will be the first to know, and when we do come back, we will kick 'Poochiao' ***. So I'll let the fans know. Don't worry, we'll kick Poochiao ***. He's gonna take the urine and blood test."
All terms had been agreed to in January for them to meet in March, except for the drug testing protocol. Mayweather had demanded that he and Pacquiao submit to random blood and urine tests throughout the buildup to the fight. Pacquiao agreed to random urine tests, but they could not come to an agreement on the blood testing protocol and the fight imploded.
Pacquiao went on to easily defeat Joshua Clottey on March 13. Mayweather went on to easily outpoint Shane Mosley on May 1.
Then a second round of negotiations failed in the spring and Pacquiao signed to fight Margarito.
During this week's media tour to promote the bout, Pacquiao said he gave in to Mayweather's testing demands during the second round of negotiations.
"We agree with, you know, his demands," Pacquiao said. "I wanted to know if that's his real reason [for not signing to fight]."
Mayweather's camp has denied the second round of negotiations ever took place, even though Pacquiao' promoter, Bob Arum, insisted that they did with HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg serving as the intermediary. Arum's version was backed up by Greenburg, despite the Mayweather camp's denials.
During the video, Mayweather also went on a rant about Pacquiao's record, even though he has not lost a fight since 2005, and made false comments about the money each had received for recent fights and endorsements.
"Poochiao got three losses and two draws and been knocked out twice," Mayweather said. "So, like I said before, once I beat him it's going to be a cakewalk and it's on to the next. ... We know Pacquiao made $6 million in his last fight and Floyd Mayweather made $65 million in his last fight. Three losses, two draws. Ohhh, hell no, this is America baby. We built on winning. Step your game up, [homophobic slur]. ... That [expletive] Pacquiao, he can't speak no English. He never seen a contract he didn't like. [Expletive] signed with two companies [Top Rank and Golden Boy]. Look it up. And then this [expletive] with Nike only got 70 Gs. How stupid can a [expletive] be? Reebok gave me a million dollars for three weeks. I wore Reebok [expletive] for a week for a million dollars. ... This [expletive]'s name is Emmanuel. He got a fake name, taking power pellets."
At one point in the video, Mayweather said, "We gonna cook that [expletive] with some cats and dogs. ... Rice with [a] little bit of cat, rice with a little bit of barbecued dog."
Mayweather also broke out into a bizarre song in which he called Pacquiao a "whore" and added: "When we do come back, we'll kick Poochiao's ***. I'm gonna fight the Pacman when he gets off the power pellets."
