According to our highly respected and longtime sportscaster friend Chino Trinidad, who is currently in LA covering Manny Pacquiao's training camp for the GMA network in the Philippines, Philippine media was banned from interviewing Floyd Mayweather Jr. during his press conference at the Nokia Theater in LA to promote his May 1 fight against Shane Mosley.
Maybe Floyd thinks the Filipino media is on A-Side meth or steroids too that's why he's ducking them like he is ducking Pacquiao.
According to Chino, he waited in line together with another Filipino media personnel to be taken up the stage from the back by the publicists. He wondered why it was only he and fellow Pinoy Jason Pimentel remaining when Floyd and Shane were almost done.
Finally when Chino got up the stage, he looked for Floyd immediately but was told by a lady named Kelly Swanson that he can't interview Floyd because he refuses to talk about Pacquiao close to the fight. Chino was baffled at the incident and that some people were crying out racism. He also told me that this was the first time in his many years of covering sports, from the NBA to the Olympics to all the many big events he has participated in, that he has ever been denied to interview somebody and is still in shock regarding the incident.
First of all, my take on that is that it's a load of BS. Floyd has been saying so much crap abut Manny Pacquiao on a regular basis. How can they turn away a group of media men based on their ethnicity? I guess there's a reason people call him KFC. He ducks even media now too. I wonder if he gets nightmares of Pacquiao and Filipinos as he tries to shoot em ala Scarface with his machine gun only to watch the bullets (in Roger's words) "bounce off their azzes".
I truly wonder why Floyd doesn't want to field questions from the Philippine media.
Is it because he is afraid to answer their questions? Maybe he is avoiding the truth? Or perhaps he simply can dish it out but he can't take it himself (I'm talking about questioning other people).
Regardless though, to me, this is a SLAP IN THE FACE to all Filipinos. Not only has this guy repeatedly disrespected Filipinos by his ridiculous insinuations on top of his statements encouraging America to alienate themselves from the alien from the Philippines simply because he is not an American citizen.
It takes me back to my experience trying to interview Floyd Mayweather Sr. wherein the guy said some rude things to me on the phone then hung up. If you want to know what exactly he told me, it sounded something like, "Oh it's the jokester! I don't do interviews with haroogah-buga- hawbruga- wabrooboo!" then he hung up. No he wasn't speaking an alien or foreign language, but you know how that guy talks like he's on some drugs or something. I simply could not understand 70% of whatever he is trying to say. Then again, it's probably for the best as he hardly makes sense when he does anyway.
Why won't you want to talk to the Filipino media Floyd? Are you saying Filipino Pay-Per-View buys don't matter to you? What's the matter Money Mayweather?

Just look at ESPN for proof, Floyd is done talking Manny for now. He wouldnt even talk Manny with ESPN.
Wow! Ducking at it's best! Just hearing Pacquiao's name terrifies him a lot.
filipino PPV buys? which ones? bunch of freeloaders...
THIS IS CONDEMNABLE!!!
THIS IS A VERY CLEAR DESCRIMINATION!
A PROTEST MUST BE MADE....
THE MAYWEATHERS IS NOW GIVING THE IMPRESSION OF BEING RACIST.
CONDEMNABLE TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL!
GOLDEN BOY IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE...
Filipinos are mostly SHANE MOSLEY fans.... it is very unfair
for Mosley to deny his large Filipino fan base.
Shut Floyd's mouth, dear Shane!!!
The truth is - Floyd now feels everytime Pacquiao's name comes up in his Mosley fight tour, he is actually hyping the Pacquiao-Clottey fight on march 13! There is no way Floyd can do away with that. Fans, just by seeing and hearing him, would always remind them that Pacquiao is the most exciting fighter in the world and the most loved fighter to watch whoever he fights.
THE MOSLEY-MAYWEATHER HYPE ACTIVITIES ARE ALSO HYPING THE WORLD'S BEST CROWD-PLEASING FIGHTER - MANNY PACQUIAO! lol
Hehe, I buy PPVs... for $0.00. ;)
Probably floyd is afraid of the interview from Philippine media because of the unofficial philippine media in every boxing site, specially the comment sections ,wherein a big percentage did ask him practically the same question...Why Floyd is ducking and picking his opponents.but he is wrong the official Philippine media will be asking him an intelligent questions and no personal attack cause we are patterned to the american old school media.Very careful and can't hurt anybody at all.Floyd didn't try it yet, but it seems he already made up his mind;nice work pac army,you made him duck again.
matching will always be matching that's really show there real colors.
xyloboy was afraid to be ask about the xylocaine...
FLOYD IS A RACIST AND HE IS A NIGG@R @!!!
i don't know but ABS-CBN manage to get an interview with leonard ellerbe.Its GMA 7 thats why?
Yes, because I have a very bad dream, a dream that I was beaten by Shane and the world are cheering so loud for my defeat. I tried to use my talent as the greatest trash-talker in hope to get a fight with Manny for a $25M blood test contest but he still disagreed and it appeared that I've almost totally lost the respect of the people to me, except my family of criminals. It is a very bad dream that it is Pacquiao vs. Mosley will have a megafight of $25M and not me anymore, huhuhuhu, wake me up, it is a very bad dream, huhuhuhu
mosley can soften up mayweather ... pacquiao can finish him off
The Mayweathers was wrong with their pronuciation.
A-side-meth is how they say "agimat" (uh-gee-mat) which is nothing but a talisman.
Damn mayweather are racist but they shout if they are discriminated. Or maybe they are afraid of pilipinos.
great news if u ask me the headline is Floyd Mayweather vs Shane Mosley not Floyd Mayweather vs Shane Mosley
Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquaio*
The Mayweathers got their pronunciation wrong.
A-side-meth is how they say "agimat" (uh-gee-math) which is nothing but a talisman.
Sorry Floyd karma is forthcoming.
paranoid much. afraid of hurumentados.
didn't he know that he is still safe till march 13
may 2 headline:
"FLOYD DESTROYED"
i wish for floydd to come down to australia.... that is my only wish, to see him in person. so we can shut him up. floyd you talk a lot of bullshit you chicken sh#t. floyd senior must have taught you that alien exist. floyd stop sucking c**k.
floyd the mongoloid mayweather
pac u!
Floyd is racist. What's wrong if ask about Pacquaio some other media ask that questions he has no problem.
e di wag! -pilipino phrase if they gotten denied!
F*&(^KING GAY MAYWEATHER. FAMILY OF IDIOTS.
Racist NIGER thats very disgraceful. It justified the reason why the europeans used them as a slave and treat them as such.
Yeah, sorry bro they won't allow ugly faces, it might jinx their game, you know!
boycotttttttttttttt
I have a dream that someday one of the Black people will look down other races colors and height. Black are not equal to asians. black are superior race.
Wow, it appears some of you Pacquiao fans and the Mayweathers have something in common which is NO CLASS.
Arian Race and Japanese Race is the Superior Race of Mankind.
African American always cry foul when it comes to racism, however statistics shows they are the worst racists of all. Is there a connection "racism" on HBO. HBO sells PPV for both Pacquiao/Clottey and PBF/Mosley fight. But why only PBF's fight has a 24/7 prefight episode and noe for Pacman? On the positive side, HBO maybe is clearly confident that Pacman's fight in Dallas sells like hotcake without their endorsement.
To all my fellow pinoys: DON'T BUY THAT CHICKEN'S FIGHT ON PPV. BOYCOTT ALL OF HIS FIGHTS, THEY'RE BORING ANYWAY. P$#^&%$ina mo Floyd!
I RECOMMEND TO THE FILIPINO MEDIA, TO FILIPINO TV STATIONS WHO COVERS BOXING LIKE SOLAR SPORTS, ABS-CBN SPORTS AND GMA TV AND TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE AROUND THE GLOBE TO ALSO BAN ALL MAYWEATHER FIGHTS SPECIALLY FROM HIS PROMO FOR HIS COMING FIGHT, AND TO SPREAD TO PEOPLE NOT TO WATCH HIS COMING FIGHT, I KNOW EXECUTIVES FROM THIS STATIONS WILL NOT AGREE BECAUSE OF THE MONEY THEY WILL GET BUT I HOPE THEY DO... FOR THE PRIDE OF OUR COUNTRYMEN AND FOR SUPPORT FOR MANNY PACQUIAO AND OTHER PINOY BOXERS..
too insecure & jealous of pac. boycott floydie
what kind of a f@#$ing fight is that, the chicken will run all night while the aging Mosley will huff and puff trying to catch him. after 12 boring rounds the chicken will declare himself as the best boxer in the planet. dont buy that snoozer, it's a waste of your precious dollars
pac u floyd! puk* ng ina mo! matatalo k rin! u racist bul**hit!

It's been after Manny won over Cotto this guy ,floyd has been choosy especially,after his interview with R A.He hardly find himself answering direct questions.As every one notice ,their own statements contradict in every interview.That's the reason why he ducks some reporters not only Filipinos other nationalities too.He is afraid on answering some questions for he might expose himself,and will be caught in his own mouth,in answering .
