Excited
A recent press conference by Golden Boy Productions about the Floyd Mayweather / Shane Mosley fight allowed media groups access to the press conference… except for Filipino media. Did they fear answering the possible questions that would arise about Mayweather’s and his team’s actions towards Manny Pacquiao?
I shake my head at this — xenophobia towards my brethren is not tolerated. This is not 1920’s Stockton California, when Filipinos weren’t allowed to go into certain locations. It is 20-MOTHERFUCKING-10; this shouldn’t be happening.

That's just either plain hype or hatred.
This is still all about the business of boxing. The more news they can make, the more tickets/PPV revenues they can generate for a very possible fight with Pacquiao, probably before the year ends or early next year as some boxing pundits have speculated.
Mayweather has always been a humbug too. I guess this is just normal for him. The snub was not about race, it was about him trying to show who's boss. :)
Isn't Mayweather only semi-literate?
