Yes He Went There
Money Mayweather mocked Manny on his Instagram page yesterday
Floyd Mayweather has been toying with boxing fans, regarding the prospect of fighting Manny Pacquiao. It would undoubtedly be the most exciting fight in boxing history (thus far). First, Mayweather said he would fight Pacquiao, then he wouldn't, then he would, now he's changing his mind again. In a new interview with the website Fight Hype, Money May had this to say:
"BT: Speaking of Maidana, I know you
haven't made a decision yet on your opponent, but based on his
performance against Adrien, is Maidana now eligible to win the
Mayweather Sweepstakes?
FM: Absolutely! Yes, Maidana's name is
now in the lottery jackpot box. We all know the Pacquiao fight,
at this particular time, will never happen, and the reason why the
fight won't happen is because I will never do business with Bob Arum
again in life, and Pacquiao is Bob Arum's fighter. Bob Arum
gives Pacquiao a date, whereas Floyd Mayweather gives Floyd
Mayweather his own date. I will be fighting again in May and I will
be fighting again in September. I'm gonna give you two reasons
the Pacquiao fight is not going to happen. Like I said before, I
will never do business with Bob Arum in life, but I don't wish him
nothing bad. And I want to see Manny Pacquiao's real pay-per-view
numbers. Get his pay-per-view numbers from his last fight and
compare them to my pay-per-view numbers with Canelo
Alvarez. Did he
do 1.2 million homes?
BT: Nope.
FM: Did he do 1 million homes?
BT: Nope.
FM: I know he's got a situation with
that guy with the three letters in his name [I.R.S.]. That's why
he's trying to fight me. He wants me to resolve his problem with
that guy with three letters in his name. I don't have problems like
that because, you know, I got the right team. In the past, of course
you're going to hear hearsay. "Well, Floyd had a problem with this;
he had a problem with the I.R.S." No one has ever put a padlock on
my house. Forget what you read and what you hear. I'm stating facts.
It's like Shots Of Me, what you see is what you get."
On the flip side, former heavyweight boxing champ, Mike Tyson, is praising Paquiao's skill in the ring. In a candid interview last month, Tyson stated, "You don't know boxing if you think Floyd Mayweather Jr. is better than Manny Pacquiao." Oh snap! Mike just called you chicken Mayweather (ok, no he didn't, I'm using reverse psychology on you to try to get you to fight Pacquiao). Seriously, if Mayweather doesn't fight Pacquiao it will always be said he ran from the challenge, fearing his first loss. It will be a shadow over his legacy.
