UFC's Dana White

MANILA, Philippines – Outspoken UFC president Dana White launched a scathing tirade on Floyd Mayweather Jr. for the boxer’s racial slurs on Asian stars Manny Pacquiao and Jeremy Lin.

In particular, White took note of Mayweather’s comments on Pacquiao and Lin being Asian.

“Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise,” Mayweather said in a recent tweet.

“Kobe Bryant doesn't get any praise? Michael Jordan doesn't get any praise? This goes on and on of guys who completely get praised for being great NBA basketball players,” was White’s reaction in UFC’s “Presidential Address.”

“Not only can he (Lin) compete and make it in the NBA, the guy's tearing it up and he's breaking records, you knuckle head,” he added.

White also brought up a comment made by Mayweather several years ago wherein the boxer said he’ll force Pacquiao to “make a sushi roll and cook some rice.”

“You said Manny Pacquiao should go and make some sushi somewhere. Sushi's from Japan, he's from the Philippines dummy, okay?” said White.

“Yes, Floyd, you're racist with the stuff that you said,” he added.

The UFC president advised Mayweather to get busy making fights instead of dishing out racist comments.

“Don't worry about all these other guys are doing. You shoot your big mouth off on Twitter. What you should worry about is getting in there and making the fight all boxing fans want to see,” he said.

“Get in there and fight Manny Pacquiao.”
