In a video interview on Youtube (you can watch the video at the bottom), Pacquiao called the remarks "an uneducated message", Pacquiao claims he has yet to see the web video made by Mayweather in which the 5 weight champion called Pacquiao such racist names as "poochie" and also said that he will force him to make "sushi rolls and cook some rice".

SEATTLE — A search helicopter spotted the body of the son of boxing promoter Bob Arum on a Washington state mountainside Friday afternoon, five days after searchers began looking for him in North Cascades National Park, authorities said.
The body belonging to John Arum, an experienced mountain climber, was seen at about the 7,700-foot level of the 8,500-foot Storm King mountain, park spokeswoman Kerry Olson said.
It wasn't possible Friday afternoon to either reach or retrieve the body, but Olson said it was clear to searchers in the helicopter that the 49-year-old Seattle environmental attorney was dead.

Lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez has agreed to fight Michael Katsidis at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas on Nov. 27.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said Marquez has accepted the terms of a deal to defend his WBO belt against Katsidis, the all-action Australian slugger.
Schaefer outlined a busy fall for his company's fighters during a workout in Hollywood on Wednesday by Sugar Shane Mosley, who will meet Sergio Mora at Staples Center on Sept. 18.
Marquez (51-5-1, 37 KOs) generally is considered Mexico's top boxer. He decisively won a rematch with Juan Diaz on July 31 in his first fight since losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year.

Press conference announces Pacquiao vs Margarito

The fight will be taking place on November 13th, 2010 and is for the WBC Light-Middleweight crown.
Both Margarito and Pacquiao looked happy and relaxed to be there with both boxers smiling and listening to Arum talk extensively about such issues as the infamous hand wrap scandal involving Margarito, declaring with conviction that there was not one single shred of evidence that he wore anything illegal in those hand wraps before his 2008 bout with Shane Mosley.
