Call it boredom, stupidity, or Money May being Money May, but Floyd Mayweather crossed the boundaries in his video rant towards Manny Pacquiao last week.

His 10-minute UStream broadcast last Thursday was nothing more than a homophobic, racist rant against Manny Pacquiao and Filipinos.

"I'm on vacation for about a year, about a year," Mayweather said in the clip. "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 ass, I don't want you all to jump on my d---. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. ... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that mother f----- make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice."

The timing of the video is almost as confusing as Mayweather thinking Filipinos eat sushi. Talks between Mayweather and Pacquiao have stalled since July and all signs point to 2011 as the earliest a fight could happen between the two boxers.

Mayweather wasted little time before recording an apology, which came off as insincere.

"I do want to apologize for what happen the other night," Mayweather said in another UStream video on Saturday. "I want to apologize to everybody as they said they thought it was racists' comments that came from me. I don't have a racist bone in my body. I love everybody. Some of my guys are Muslim, some of my guys are Jews, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, whites ... it doesn't matter. I got nothing but love in my heart. But if anyone was affected from what I said the other day, I apologize as a man and forgive me for saying what I said. I was just having fun. I didn't really mean it. Nothing in a bad way."

Is that what's considered fun these days? If Manny Pacquiao said he was going to make Floyd Mayweather make him a plate of fried chicken and collard greens, would it be fun then?
