Floyd Mayweather Sr., speaking over a radio program "On the Ropes Boxing Radio" in an interview as quoted by The Mushroom Mag, said Pacquiao is one of "the biggest faggots on the planet"

The word faggot is an offensive term for an openly homosexual man. Floyd Sr. also labeled Pacquiao as a "little Filipino midget".

Floyd Sr.'s insulting words came after his son was ridiculed for missing a deadline set by Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rankโ€™s Bob Arum, for a battle against โ€œFighter of the Decadeโ€ Pacquiao on November 13.

Asked what he would tell Pacquiao if he can talk to him right now (during the interview), he said: "Iโ€™d tell him heโ€™s a faggot. You know what Iโ€™d tell him. Go stick your head up under your dress. Thatโ€™s what I would tell him. Iโ€™m being real with you. Iโ€™d tell him he ainโ€™t nothing but a sissy and a little girl."

The reigning World Boxing Organization welterweight champion reacted on Wednesday to Floyd Sr.โ€™s statements that his son, undefeated boxer Floyd Jr., is not scared of fighting of Pacquiao, whom he labeled as a โ€œlittle Filipino midget.โ€

Floyd Sr. went on to say to say a mouthful about Pacquiaoโ€™s fear of Floyd Jr.

Asked if his son is scared of Pacquiao, Floyd Sr said: "Yeah, heโ€™s scared. The only thing theyโ€™re trying to do is to switch this around and make it look like itโ€™s my son thatโ€™s scared. He ainโ€™t the one thatโ€™s scared. I know whoโ€™s scared for real. They want to try and make it look like Floyd is scared, and he wants to do this, and make him take the test. No. You take the test. There ainโ€™t nothing wrong with you taking the test. You take the test, but one thing about it, donโ€™t ask for the same amount of money because you donโ€™t deserve it. You donโ€™t deserve it."

When told of the harsh words from Lil Floyd's father, the humble Filipino boxer, who is now a congressman in the Philippines, said:

"Let's just laugh it off. He may not have been himself when he said that".

Pacquiao, meanwhile, said he doesnโ€™t really want to blow up the issue since his camp is not to blame for the Mayweather fight not pushing through.
