FLOYD MAYWEATHER has said that he has no intention of fighting Manny Pacquiao unless the Filipino signs with Mayweather Promotions. The American took a break from preparing for his September 14 showdown with Saul Alvarez to all but rule out a future showdown with his long-term enemy.
“I wanted to fight Pacquiao at one particular time, but I wanted to fight him when he was at the top,” Mayweather told Yahoo Sport’s Kevin Iole. “I'm going not to speak on another man's finance business, but like I said before, I left Top Rank for a reason. He's with Top Rank, so I want him to be happy with Top Rank.
“Everybody's like, 'Aw, Pacquiao,' but I'm just letting you know he's not getting a fight with me. The only way he's getting the fight with me is if he signs with Mayweather Promotions. He's got to give me fights with Mayweather Promotions.If he don't give me no fights under Mayweather Promotions, then he's not getting the fight. That's how it is working now, because the ball is in my court. The ball has been in my court. I have been the A side.
“I went to Pacquiao at one particular time and I offered him $40 million and I told him, ‘I will wire you $20 million within 48 hours.’ He told me he wanted 50-50 and he got off the phone. Some guy named Michael Koncz came down here. I don't know who he is. He looks like a little weasel. He came down here, was in my gym and talked to me. He said, ‘If you want the Pacquiao fight, you talk to me.’ I said, ‘What about Top Rank?’ He said, ‘I run all his business.’ That's what he told me. I've got everything recorded, everything on film.”
Mayweather also added that his wannabe Adrien Broner – who has again been filming himself flushing money down toilets – is far from the finished article, in and out of the ring.
“The thing with Broner is, he has a lot to learn,” said Mayweather. “It's more like, he has to understand and learn business. You have to know when to turn it on and when to turn it off.”

c'mon.... Floyd could make Pac rich!
lol
But yeah, I suspect Floyd is just being greedy at this point. He wants to keep all the money in house like Arum does. If he ever was scared of Pac, I don't suspect he is now, after a devastating ko loss... I mean Floyd is facing Canelo, and Canelo's a big boy. Do y'all honestly think Pac could take Canelo at this point?
I tend to just stop listening when he opens his mouth with stuff like this.
In the ring I can watch him all day, outside of it...meh.
Indeed, what he does in the ring is art but the crap he says outside makes you want to puke
I'm a huge fan of him but the sh1t he says sometimes smh

This paragraph amuses me because...
(a) It seems like Koncz got whiff of the Floyd-Pac phone call and immediately felt threatened that he might be left out of negotiations and went to Vegas
(b) Koncz does look like a weasel (although at 5'8, 10st Floyd has no place to be calling anyone "little")
(c) Floyd's Top Rank excuse went up in smoke with Koncz's offer so he had to create a new one of Pac having to join his company
(d) Floyd actually went to the bother of recording a conversation no one cares about.
They will. It will go something like this:
My Floydie is the biggest star and highest paid athlete therefore Manny Pacroid has to sign with him. It will be his biggest payday.
Yea, I think I'm spot on...
