In the video clip that has been circulating Twitter, taken from one of the press conferences prior to the fight, the 29-year-old American boxer can be heard dropping racist insults.

At one point in the clip, Broner tells a supporter, “I got a cat for you for dinner,” and towards another, he says, “I got some sautéed German Shepherd for you in the back.”

The comments did not sit well with Twitter users. Replying to the clip, many simply wished for Broner to suffer a quick defeat at the hands of the Pac Man’s famous left fist:

I hope Pacman WHOOP his ass

I hope Manny beats the bigotry out of him

& hopefully Pacquiao’s got a hard left for his chin.

I suspect he may be having soup for his dinner for some time after Manny wires his jaw.

Let’s hope Pac puts him to sleep

Some users made thoughtful comments about Broner’s racism while others alleged that casual racism towards Asians is too readily tolerated:

Sad. The man will be fighting for the 70th time, and at the elite level, where’s the good grace from Broner and his team towards Manny for that? Of course they want to win, but instead of being respectful, they posture and smirk as he reels off racist stereotypes. Not cool.

as a representative of the black community, we no longer claim him.

I’m all for trash talk but it’s 2019. There’s no place for racism in this world. (and there never actually was). Poor show from Broner

Of course he won’t, Mayweather and his camp made similar comments years back. Reverse it though 😳

Because for some odd reason any racism directed towards Asians, whether it’s southeast or otherwise, remains acceptable in this country. It’s the most ridiculous double standard and this isn’t the first time it’s been directed publicly at Pacquiao.

This won’t even break news. Smh. Broner can talk shit all he wants, but this is too far. Dudes a racist but no ones gonna say anything about it cause he’s not white.

It looks like the fans got what they wanted, as Pacquiao won via unanimous decision at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Jan. 19.

Pacquiao, 40, defeated Broner, 29, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas by unanimous decision, making it Pacquiao’s 61st win and retaining his WBA welterweight title. Unfortunately, Pacquiao was also the victim of a home burglary at his residence in Los Angeles, though it is not clear what, if anything, was taken.
