Floyd Mayweather Sr: 'Little Floyd definitely ain't scared of no Pacquiao'

JENNA J: Alright everyone, it's time for our second guest of this week’s episode and he is now making his fifth appearance of our show. He is none other than Floyd Mayweather Senior. Hey there, Floyd. FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR: How are you doing? JENNA: I’m doing fine. We’re happy to be talking to you. Floyd, I’m sure you know, Bob Arum has come out in the press and he put a deadline on Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather Junior. He said the deadline passed. What are your thoughts on the whole contract situation trying to make that fight happen? MAYWEATHER: My problem is, Bob Arum don’t call no f*cking shots. Bob Arum don’t call the shots. The fight can be made anytime they want the fight to be made. Little Floyd definitely ain’t scared of no Pacquiao. That’s the last thing in the world that little Floyd is scared of, a little Filipino midget. Definitely that’s not the case. JENNA: Now he said in the transcript after the deadline passed that he never directly spoke to the Mayweather camp, that he only spoke through Ross Greenberg of HBO and he spoke to Al Haymon. Do you think there was ever any real agreement in place? MAYWEATHER: I definitely don’t think so. I don’t think so, not at all. My thing is, I think what this thing comes down to be is that my son don’t want to be paid like Pacquiao. He’s the big draw, not Pacquiao. He drew more numbers than Pacquiao and he wants to get paid like he’s supposed to be, not no 50-50. He wants to get paid like he’s supposed to get paid and I don’t blame him. I would be the same way. If you draw way more people how in the world can they be paid the same? I’m pretty sure that’s what the whole deal is right there. Pacquiao claims he wants half but it don’t go that way. He’s not the best fighter, anyway. He knows he ain’t the best fighter and Bob Arum knows he ain’t the best fighter, too. So why should you belittle yourself and take less money than you’re supposed to? JENNA: When Bob Arum was asked about the drug testing, he said, “I think the drug issue was resolved, I don’t want to go into further details”. Do you think that it was all the way solved? It wasn’t just a fourteen day deadline? Or do you think it was basically what the terms were last time? MAYWEATHER: If it was me, I’m going to say about the whole situation. If it was me about the fourteen day thing, there shouldn’t even be a fourteen day thing. It should be a random thing. That’s what it should be. It should be random. I’m saying that I don’t know what Bob Arum’s got to say about this and how he’s calling on the shots. I don’t know how all that’s going down but I’m just telling you it should be a random thing because that way, there is all kind of ways people could do things. So I would do a random test that way you can get tested anytime, even the day of the fight. That’s what it should be and that little pint of blood ain’t going to hurt nobody. JENNA: Do you think that Bob Arum is coming out in the press this way with the deadlines and everything else to try and make Floyd look bad? MAYWEATHER: Of course. Yes he’s trying to make little Floyd like bad but people already know what time of day it is. Of course he’s trying to make little Floyd look bad because he’s with Pacquiao. When he was with my son he was trying to make him look good and everybody else look bad. He was with my son then but he ain’t with my son any more. My son left him and De La Hoya left him. That’s just the way it is. JENNA: Alright now, do you think your son will be fighting in 2010 or do you think he’ll wait until 2011 to return? MAYWEATHER: I ain’t going to say that he won’t fight in 2010. He could fight in 2010 but then again he might not. I’m pretty sure he could fight somebody like, well I can’t even say. I just have to say that I believe he can have a fight but it won’t be a big, big fight like Manny Pacquiao. I just think that whenever they’re ready little Floyd’s ready, believe me. JENNA: Well Floyd, we’re also joined by my co-host Geoff Ciani. Geoff? GEOFFREY CIANI: Hi Floyd. It’s a pleasure to speak with you again. MAYWEATHER: Why thank you. CIANI: Thank you for coming back on. The question that I wanted to ask you Floyd is they’re talking about a couple of other opponents for Pacquiao if he does not fight your son. MAYWEATHER: You’re talking about Cotto again and talking about Margarito. CIANI: Yeah, yeah. I was wondering, starting off with Cotto. MAYWEATHER: That’s just a bunch of BS, man. Let me tell you this right here, all this right here is to try to get little Floyd upset or whatever it is, but it’s stupid anyway. First of all, being real man, what little man—you see how big Margarito is, don’t you? CIANI: Yes. MAYWEATHER: Alright, then. Even though he ain’t got skills how do you think, to be honest, that Pacquiao would beat him on the up and up? He can’t. He couldn’t. He couldn’t beat him on the up and up. CIANI: Now what do you think, going back to Cotto for a minute Pacquiao already beat Cotto. MAYWEATHER: Why is he going to fight Cotto again? Why? All this is, is just a game. If you see what the whole thing is, Bob Arum is giving Cotto a title and then turning around and letting Pacman beat Cotto up again and take it again. That’s all it is. That’s all it is. It’s so plain to see a blind man can see that. CIANI: So you don’t give Cotto any chance in a rematch with Pacquiao? MAYWEATHER: No. No, it’s all going to be in Cotto’s head how he took a savage beating. That’s the kind of beating that he took. In my honest belief, on the up and up when everybody’s straight Cotto beats him, and beats him easy. Margarito beats him, too, easy. It’s so easy that both of them would probably knock him out. But with the situation like it is, hey what can you say? CIANI: Now I’m curious Floyd, what do you think about Cotto pairing up with Emanuel Steward? MAYWEATHER: I don’t care if he’s with Emanuel Steward or whatever Steward he’s with. I’m just saying, there’s nothing wrong with Emanuel trying to make his money. There’s nothing wrong with Cotto if that’s the guy he believes in. Hey, that’s okay but that ain’t going to make him win though. Unless Emanuel Steward gets smart and gets down to some business and find out what’s really going on. JENNA: Now Floyd, with all of the negotiations that have happened in the past with Mayweather and Pacquiao and the problems that they seem to be running into now, do you think a deal for them to fight will ever happen? MAYWEATHER: Well you know, you can’t say that it won’t ever happen, but I’m really telling you right now I don’t believe it’s going to be this year. I don’t believe it’s going to be this year. I will tell you that. It’s just a thing where nobody’s going to go on nobody’s terms. Little Floyd is the biggest fighter out there right now. He ain’t got to go under nobody’s terms. He ain’t got to go under Bob Arum’s terms. He ain’t got to go by nobody’s terms. He’s his own man. I’m pretty sure if Pacquiao fights these guys and beats them like he’s supposed to, I’m pretty sure that fight will go on if Pacquiao’s still around. If Pacquiao’s still around because I’m just saying all that stuff about the Congressman and all of that stuff. It’s a bunch of BS man. Who cares about that, man? To be a Congressman over millions and millions of dollars?—Please! That’s all I’m trying to say. It ain’t nothing but a mess, man. JENNA: Well let’s talk about your son for a minute and what could be next for him. If it’s not Pacquiao and if Junior still fights this year who would you like to see him against? Would you like to see him in there with somebody like Bradley or Cotto? MAYWEATHER: First of all, let me tell you something. I’m going to be honest with you. I was looking at Bradley last night and believe me I’m telling you what I see and what I know. Bradley is a good fighter and I give him the utmost respect for the weight class that he’s in and I don’t believe he would whop little Floyd even if little Floyd was in that class. I’m just telling you that what I had seen last night, it’s ridiculous. As a matter of fact I’ll really be honest with you. I went to sleep during the fight. That’s how boring the fight was to me. But I’m just telling you I liked Bradley as a fighter from the fights that I’d seen before. Last night when he fought, that guy was in a picking fight for him where he could do what he wanted to do but I went to sleep during the fight. I’m going to be honest with you about that. He didn’t look good to me at all. He was awful wild and looping punches and telegraphing punches. You could see the punches coming when he was getting ready to start. He was loading the punches up, you know what I mean. I’m just saying that that’s a fight right there that would be a merciful fight I believe for Bradley. I sort of gave Bradley, out of all the fighters that I have seen I thought maybe at one time that Bradley might at least put up a good fight or something man. I don’t think so, not at all. He’s not going to hit my son with none of that stuff, that big wide looping stuff. No. He’d get beat to death. That don’t mean that I don’t have no respect for him but I’m not going to respect him in the weight class he’s going into now.
