    Floyd Mayweather: "Do I want to fight PACQUIAO? Absolutely."

    Adam Smith: How impressed were you with Manny Pacquiao?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: I don't see any versatility as a fighter with Manny Pacquiao. I see a good puncher but just one-dimensional.

    Adam Smith: Do you want to fight Pacquiao?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: If Pacquiao is the man next, he step up to the plate, that's another ass I got to tap. I'm not ducking and dodging. If Pacquiao want it, he can get it. Come on man I don't have to say, 'Oh I want to fight Pacquiao.' Floyd Mayweather is the face of boxing. All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather.

    Adam Smith: Who do you want fight now?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: I don't have to say 'Oh, yeah, I want to fight this guy, I wanna fight that guy.' I'm the king.

    I've done millions of homes by myself. Now, we got Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto, two guys who has a pretty cool fan base. Now if they done more home that Mayweather, then more power to them, but they're supposed to. I don't have no dance partner.

    Floyd Mayweather is an entertainer. This guys are just fighters. Pacquiao he's just a fighter.

    Adam Smith: What's more important to you, money or boxing legacy?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: I'm already a legend in the sport. I'm already an icon in the sport. I fight for me first. What's most important now is the cheques, 'cause I'm in the cheque cashing business.

    Adam Smith: You don't make enough money?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: I have to do it for me first. Me. I come first, self-preservation. I come first. I gotta take care of me.

    Adam Smith: Would you retire undefeated?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Can Manny Pacquiao beat me? Absolutely not. Easy work. Easy fight. Probably, easier than the Marquez fight.

    Adam Smith: Get it on then. That's what the world wants.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: It's easy for you. 'Cause you work for Sky TV. You know you gonna pick-up the fight, and you're gonna make a ton of money. So, guess what? So, of course, you're gonna say "get it on."

    LAST WORDS

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: If he want to fight for legacy and not worried about the money, then let Leonard Ellerbe and Al Haymon make the deal, and Manny Pacquiao let's fight.

    Adam Smith: Do you think he will?

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: I don't know. Do I want it? Absolutely. But do we wanna fight, we don't know. I already know what I bring to the table.

    There's only one fighter who is great in my era, that's myself.

        Yeah, PBF wants the fight only if he gets more percentage of the purse than Pac.

          Less yelling across the aisle and more putting signatures on paper.

                It's all about him isn't it? He so self-obsessed its sad. A great fighter but a deluded joke of a human being. Let's hope he gets over himself for a few minutes and tries to pen a deal to fight Pacquiao. It must really gall him to see a massive PPV fight with two boxers who don't need to bad mouth one another or flash their tacky money obsessed lifestyle to sell a few tickets. PBF pisses me off, he's probably one my favorite fighters but has very little class outside the ring.

                  So what will it mean if Mayweather beats Pacquiao?
