Little People to Mayweather: Screw You!

Posted Dec 6th 2007 11:36AM by TMZ Staff

Boxer "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather used the word "midget" to describe his upcoming opponent in a Las Vegas bout, and now the Little People of America and little performers in Las Vegas are up in arms. Low blow!
Exclusive
TMZ spoke to a bigshot at the LPA, V.P. Gary Arnold, who told us, "Historically, the word 'midget' has evolved to be a derogatory one, and it is clear that the way the word was used in this instance is exactly that."

In addition, TMZ also obtained an open letter to Floyd from Wee Matt McCarthy, a performer at Beacher's Madhouse. Matt says, "If I wasn't busy performing this weekend in Miami at Club Cameo...I'd kick his ass myself on behalf of all the little people in the world if I ran into this guy. What he said was disgusting!" *ding, ding!*

Reps for Mayweather had no comment.

2. Yeah if you run into him make sure u start a fight with him so he can kick ur ass... Geez he wasn't making fun of midgets.. he was making fun of how tiny ricky hatton is. He talks like he's this big brawler when he's never fought anyone worthwhile. Floyd is going to embarass him in front of the 30,000 people flying in to watch. And if u pick a fight with him, he'll embarass you too! Money Mayweather baby! The best there is, the best there ever was, and the best there ever will be! People in this country have gotten way too sensitive.. I guess what they do on jackass when they bowl midgets is ok though right? where's ur up in arms about that one?? didn't think so
