Philippine Media Banned from Interviewing Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Recent Press Conference

Posted on March 5, 2010 by Rosemary

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.

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
