Floyd Mayweather Jr. comments on Pacquiao loss

surprised he mellowed down, I thought he would go all out *****ing "I toyed that guy for 12 rounds" but it was still nice to hear those words coming from him. He was classy for a moment :D classy for a moment.... but ends up as insincere all the way just because he could not resist the "punchline" he he he

Thats mayweather for ya... Pacquiao, Marquez, Cotto.. etc.. have lost fights in boxing... makes them better for taking every challenge... on the other hand we got mayweather taking a year lay off & then coming back for a risk free fight... bet he is not going to fight canelo... too risky for mayweather's 0. :boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing:

FLOYD MAYWEATHER ON PACQUIAO'S KO LOSS: "I FEEL BAD FOR HIM...HOPEFULLY HE CAN BOUNCE BACK" By Ben Thompson | December 10, 2012 "Things happen. You live and you learn. The only thing he can do is rejuvenate himself and bounce back like a true champion," stated undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather, who shared his thoughts on Manny Pacquiao's shocking 6th round knockout loss at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez. Although he has yet to actually see the fight, Mayweather praised the performances of both fighters and offered some words of advice for the 8-division world champion. "Marquez is a true champion, Manny Pacquiao is a true champion, both of them went out there and put on a good performance, and that's a good thing for the sport of boxing," Mayweather commented. "I wish Pacquiao nothing but the best. I wish that he can bounce back and he can recoup from this. In the sport of boxing, you have to really dedicate yourself to your craft. You have to really, really dedicate yourself to your craft. I think he's got so many different things on the outside that he worries about, you know. But it was a good thing that he was able to come into the sport, you know, piggyback off my name, and get a bunch of endorsement deals and make a good living. That's a great thing." As far as the mega-fight with the Filipino icon is concerned, Mayweather suggests the manner in which Pacquiao was knocked out probably means he has a lot more to think about, and a long way to go, before that fight is ever a possibility again. "Pacquiao's focus should be trying to take a vacation, get his mind right, and get a few tune-up fights so he can bounce back," he explained. "I'm not here to talk bad about Pacquiao. I feel bad for him, honestly. I really feel bad for him. There's a difference in the ways you can get knocked out. See, when a guy gets knocked out and he can get up, they sit him on his stool, they rub his back, he go home and ice himself, you know, he go to the hospital and get checked out and he's okay, that's one thing. But when you gotta wake a guy up with smelling salt and he got a concussion and he gotta go to the hospital over night, that's crucial. I mean, that's close to the death." Mayweather added, "Hopefully he's okay. My prayers go out to the Pacquiao family. I know he loves the sport of boxing, so hopefully he can bounce back."

How? Mayweather became a star when he defeated Oscar de la Hoya. That was before Pac came into the division. When May retired, Pac came into the division. He defeated De la Hoya and Hatton easily where as Mayweather struggled. That's when people started thinking "this guy can beat Mayweather." They started selling Pacquiao as the guy that can beat Mayweather. Then Mayweather came out of retirement which is when they sold Pacquiao as the hero and Mayweather as the villain. So yeah Pacquiao did get famous off of Mayweather's name. Really????

Calling you out for being a sissy=/= defending anyone. I call out anyone i feel isnt representing themselves as a man. You clearly care if you choose to waste your time posting numerous times about someone, shows your insecurity. Good day. Pretty feminine post mate

Then why post in a thread about him? Feminine much? defending you man? feminine much?

But it was a good thing that he was able to come into the sport, you know, piggyback off my name, and get a bunch of endorsement deals and make a good living. That's a great thing." the guy ruined a nice gesture with one sentence. lol come on floyd, not cool. otherwise a good interview, but that is not called for Yep. I was really impressed until the piggybacking nonsense. That's a two way street.

I'm so tired of this clown.....

If anyone is piggybacking off another it's Floyd Mayweather piggybacking off of Manny Pacquiao's name. How? Mayweather became a star when he defeated Oscar de la Hoya. That was before Pac came into the division. When May retired, Pac came into the division. He defeated De la Hoya and Hatton easily where as Mayweather struggled.

Then Mayweather came out of retirement which is when they sold Pacquiao as the hero and Mayweather as the villain. So yeah Pacquiao did get famous off of Mayweather's name.

yeah but he only made 75k off those endorsements, what the f*ck do you care? Kind words, but Floyd is oddly bitter for someone who has it all. --- Floyd was retired when Pacquiao did 1.something mill with Oscar and became an even bigger star than he had been....and yes he was a very solid draw before Oscar. Afterwards, I agree, being counterparts benefited BOTH of them in selling fights, and gaining media attention to themselves and the sport of boxing. Pacquiao has never been on Mayweather's plane in terms of PPV sales. Mayweather has done about three PPV's that sold more than any PPV Pacquiao has ever done.

yeah but he only made 75k off those endorsements, what the f*ck do you care? Kind words, but Floyd is oddly bitter for someone who has it all. --- The truth hurts sometimes. This is nothing but the truth. Boxing had a villain in Mayweather so it produced an hero in Pacquiao. Gave him awards, favorable fights, new weight classes, costume belts... That wasn't right but Manny deserves to bounce back, his fans don't. Floyd was retired when Pacquiao did 1.something mill with Oscar and became an even bigger star than he had been....and yes he was a very solid draw before Oscar. Afterwards, I agree, being counterparts benefited BOTH of them in selling fights, and gaining media attention to themselves and the sport of boxing.

floyd lost a lot of money as did pac. that should have been him KO pac.

serious question: did you follow manny when murad muhammad was promoting him befre he got to TR? pacquaio vs. barrera was the first fight i saw of manny pacquaio's...

If anyone is piggybacking off another it's Floyd Mayweather piggybacking off of Manny Pacquiao's name.

Pac bursted on to the scene and people started taking notice after he thrashed Barerra and Erik Morales in the rematches. He did not need Floyd. His aggressive all action fighting style is what captured the fans. Let's not forget that even Floyd was a fan of his back then when he was seen standing up and cheering for Pac for his fight with Morales if I'm not mistaken. Floyd was a fan of Pac's all the up till when Floyd became a target. That's when the discrediting and PED accusations started flying from the Mayweather camp!

money mayflower wasted $150 million because of cowardice. nobody knows what he's afraid of. he had all the advantages. he's bigger, has longer reach, he's slick (?), he gets the bigger purse, he's allowed to juice, you name it. then pac is amateurish, overrated, fought nothing but washed-up fighters, you name it. mayflower has become the laughing stock of the world right now. :bigeyes: congrats to marquez, btw.

But it was a good thing that he was able to come into the sport, you know, piggyback off my name, and get a bunch of endorsement deals and make a good living. That's a great thing." the guy ruined a nice gesture with one sentence. He sure did. Floyd is bitter that Pacquiao has endorsements and he doesn't. Floyd also missed out the opportunity to do what Marquez did.

pacman never needed mayflower. you don't need a boring, defensive boxer's name to become famous. it will just ruin you. :bigeyes: no need for this kind of reaction. espn is reporting he had to take an advance from Bob, about $1.5 mil before the fight. He could've had $40 mil in his pocket.

pacman never needed mayflower. you don't need a boring, defensive boxer's name to become famous. it will just ruin you. :bigeyes:

not for nothing brother floyd, but manny pacquaio, did not make a name for himself, by piggybacking off your name.... serious question: did you follow manny when murad muhammad was promoting him befre he got to TR?
