Floyd Mayweather Jr. is back on the attack. This time he took aim at both Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. Mayweather, during an interview with BOSSIP, made himself look silly by telling the outlet that he stands make more money against Juan Manuel Marquez on September 19 - than Pacquiao and Cotto will make combined when they face each other on November 14. A little hard to believe. In the same interview, Mayweather said there was $300 million sitting in his bank account. A few months ago there were numerous reports that Mayweather flew to Florida to ask Don King to borrow some money. Mayweather did not deny the meeting but never discussed the details.
"Before I heard about Manny Pacquiao I was the champion. When Cotto came into the game, I was the champion. I think they are both good fighters. When you are in the check cashing business and being the champ, they need to call out my name. I don’t have to call out theirs. I am making as much as both Cotto and Pacman in this one fight. Manny Pacquiao has the worst deal in boxing. He is giving up 27% of his money. Floyd keeps it all," Mayweather Jr. said.
Mayweather then went on to attack the records of Cotto and Pacquiao. He said the black community needs to support him in the same manner that Cotto and Pacquiao are supported by their countries.
"I am the first to knock Ricky Hatton out. I knocked him out with 10 ounce gloves on, Pac fought him with 8 ounce gloves. I laid the blueprint on how to beat Hatton. Cotto has been knocked out before and Pacquiao has been knocked out, as well as out boxed by Marquez and Morales. Both of them guys will get knocked out by Floyd. Both Cotto, and Pacman’s people stand behind them. The black community should stand behind me! We need to stick together. I am a one man army that will fight for all of us," Mayweather Jr. said.
