Roger Mayweather: “If Pacquiao don’t got sh*t in his system, then why do you worry.."

.."about being tested anyway?” On Floyd’s impressive victory against Sugar Shane Mosley: “I already knew he was going to whop his ass. It wasn’t nothing new to me. I know because I trained a guy that beat him four times. Skills pay the bills, that’s it. So when you start talking about Floyd and Shane, I mean he had the performance he was supposed to have against a guy of that nature.” On whether he thought Floyd would fight the type of he fought coming forward against Mosley: “Yep. Let me tell you something—number one, the fight was basically as far as skill-wise and boxing ability, my nephew boxes too good for him anyway so I was never worried about him outboxing Shane Mosley, but the thing of it was, the only thing that concerned me was what he had in his system. The minute they tested him for steroids and he came out negative I knew how the fight was going to be from the beginning. I know because I had a guy that beat him four times, so it wasn’t nothing new actually for me..” On whether he was worried when Shane stunned Floyd in round two: “Well I mean, Floyd’s really never been put down. He can take a shot even though he’s gone up in weight classes. Shane Mosley caught him with a good shot, but anytime you fight another talented fighter those things happen. I mean, you take one of the greatest heavyweights ever, Ali. Ali’s been on the ground about four or five times, but he still found a way to win and that’s what one of the keys about boxing is—finding a way to win.” On whether he believes a fight between Floyd and Manny Pacquiao will happen: “I don’t see why it won’t happen. Anytime a guy getting $50 million don’t want to fight, that tells you something about him. How would a guy turn down that kind of money? Why would he turn down that kind of money? Remember, he said he was going to fight Floyd but the only thing with him, he wants to fight Floyd but he doesn’t want to take the test. He don’t want to take the test, so what does that tell you? If a guy don’t want to take the test when he’s getting $50 million, then that’s all it tells you. He must got something wrong with him. I know he ain’t crazy. Anytime a guy, first off—all fighters take the tests. All fighters take the tests. They take drug tests, HIV tests, they take them tests anyway. But here’s a guy saying he don’t want to take the tests a couple of days before the fight. He wants to take the test, but he don’t want to take it a couple of days before the fight. Well that’s generally how you take tests, anyway. So why is this guy getting this kind of money? Remember, he knocked out dudes that Floyd went the distance with. He knocked out Ricky Hatton, he knocked out De La Hoya, he struggled with Marquez, but that’s it. Here’s a guy that knocked out guys out that Floyd didn’t knockout but yet he’s worried about taking the test? I know he’s worried about taking the test and that’s what the sport’s about.” On whether he believes there is any validity to Pacquiao just having a fear of needles: “He has a fear of needles, huh? He’s got a fear of needles? How do you take an HIV test? You need a needle, right? You need a needle to take an HIV test. He had to take an HIV test before because he wouldn’t be allowed to fight in the state of Nevada. You see? So all of that about he don’t want to take the test and he’s afraid of needles—well, how are they going to take your blood then if you’re afraid of needles?” On whether he thinks there will be straight testing or a cutoff date if the fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao is made: “Well I believe it’s going to be a cutoff date because number one, a guy ain’t going to take no test no week before no fight and then go and take a test right after the fight. I believe they’re going to do Olympic style testing. With Olympic style testing, they test you randomly like that but it’s not a big thing. If he don’t got shit in his system, then why do you worry about being tested anyway? The only time a person has fears about being tested is because they got something in them that they ain’t supposed to have in them. That’s it, because to be honest—in a million years he would never whop Floyd, period. Floyd takes the test. I mean, Floyd don’t mind taking the test. He took the test a couple of days before him and Sugar Shane Mosley fought. What’s the problem? That’s what you do as a fighter, anyway. You take the test a couple of days before the fight, boom, fight then. Since they’re hopefully doing that Olympic style drug testing, I guess you’re going to find out what he’s going to get.” On Floyd’s recent claims that he would want a 60-40 split in his favor to fight Pacquiao: “I think it should be 60-40. Why wouldn’t it be? Floyd ain’t never lost. Floyd ain’t never lost, this ‘mo’s been knocked out twice. He’s been knocked out twice when he was 105 pounds, so why would they come to the same agreement about the same amount of money? Floyd ain’t never tasted defeat.” On whether he thinks they can reach an agreement where the winner gets 60% of the purse: “I believe that. I believe that can be possible, I can’t see why not. I can’t see why not because if it’s based on money, if you’re trying to talk about what he accomplished, he ain’t never accomplished no more than what Floyd accomplished. Floyd never lost anyway, so the thing of it is coming to an agreement, but I’m sure anytime a fight that makes that kind of money they’re going to come to an agreement. I can’t see why they wouldn’t come to an agreement. Wouldn’t you think they would come to an agreement? (Jenna J—“I would hope so.”) With that kind of money, it’s almost impossible for them not to come to some type of agreement.” On the potential magnitude of a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao: “This is the biggest fight. Well, put it this way—the biggest fight in the history of boxing today, what was the biggest fight in the history of boxing? (Jenna J—“ It was Mayweather versus De La Hoya.”) You understand that, right? Okay now, here’s a fight that’s even bigger than that. Here’s a fight bigger than that, so you have to come to an agreement. The only way a person won’t come to an agreement for that kind of money is that something is wrong with him or he don’t want to take the test. That’s it. That’s the only reason a person wouldn’t come to an agreement, because with all that money on the table you got to be crazy. My nephew ain’t turning it down. He takes the test, and we’ll see what he can do.” On whether he believes Floyd can knock Pacquiao out in the event they had a 60-40 split similar to the Jones-Hopkins rematch where the winner would get 60% if he won inside the distance: “Nope, I don’t think he can knock him out. He’s already been knocked out at 105 pounds. What you think? He can’t knock him out? He’s already been knocked out twice, anyway. So you don’t think my nephew can knock him out? He’s already been knocked out at 105 pounds. So you don’t think my nephew can knock him out at 147? (G. Ciani—“No, no I didn’t say that. I think that he possibly could, I was wondering if you thought he could? Because Pacquiao hasn’t been knocked out in awhile.”) I don’t think anything. I know he can knock him out—period. Once Pacquiao takes that test, he’s going to get a beating he ain’t never had before because there ain’t no way in the world a guy swinging that wild is coming after my nephew, period. My nephew, in this day and this time, he’s the most skilled fighter in the sport of boxing—period.” On whether he believes Floyd could have stopped Shane and if so, why he thinks Mosley laws able to last the distance: “It ain’t about why he didn’t. I mean obviously Shane was doing a lot of ****ing holding. That’s why he didn’t get stopped. So when a fighter’s holding, that means he’s hard to fight somebody that’s holding and as you look at the fight as it goes on, boom, he was holding. So since the guy’s holding, my nephew was pressing him but he still he would never let my nephew get off. He would get off a few punches, boom, but the first thing he do is grab and hold him. You ain’t never seen him do that with any other fighters. Shane Mosley is an offensive fighter. After he hit my nephew, he ain’t never win another round. He never won another round after that. So it ain’t about he couldn’t stop him, it’s that Shane wasn’t going to get stopped regardless because Shane was holding on and it’s hard to fight somebody that’s holding and trying to keep from getting knocked out. That’s why a lot of guys when they fought Mike Tyson, they didn’t get knocked out because they were holding and it’s hard to fight somebody that’s basically holding you all the time because you’re not trying to get in a confrontation.” On comments made by his brother, Floyd Mayweather Senior about Floyd not liking fighting southpaws: “You know why he don’t like Floyd fighting southpaws? It’s because he can’t train Floyd for a southpaw. Floyd beat every southpaw out there. Didn’t he beat Zab Judah? Didn’t he beat Shamrba Mitchell? Didn’t he beat DeMarcus Corley and all them world champions? He beat all of them. Okay, then. It ain’t that Floyd can’t fight a southpaw. Floyd whopped four southpaw world champions in a row. I know, because I trained him to fight a southpaw and it ain’t no different than fighting a right hander, period.” On potential match-ups for Floyd against Paul Williams or Sergio Martinez: “The fight with Paul Williams don’t make sense because it don’t make money anyway. He ain’t got no name. The whole object is to fight, when you’re on this status and you’re on this level, is to fight a fight that makes sense and the only fight that makes sense is Floyd and Pacquiao. That’s the only one that makes sense. I mean as far as them other dudes, they’ll make a fight but they don’t got no name. Who’s going to come and see them?”
