He said that he knew that many felt that what he said was racist comments. However, Maywheather said that he did not have any “racist bone” in his body. To contradict what others are thinking, the boxer said that he loves everybody and to prove that, he said that there are Muslims, Jews, Mexicans, Dominicans, and Puerto Ricans on his team. “There is nothing but love in my heart, you know what I’m saying?” he added.
