    FM: Everything is good.

    PC: Give me your thoughts on the way that things played out between your son and Manny Pacquiao.

    FM: My thing is I look at it like this here, man. One thing for sure is Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao. That's one thing for sure. Everybody needs to get that straight; that's straight and to the point. Floyd is not scared of Pacquiao. That's the last guy he's scared of in boxing, but the whole thing is, man, the money Lil Floyd done made and the money he would get fighting Pacquiao, think about it. Make a million dollars in one year and see what Uncle Sam gonna do to you. So that's what I'm talking about. Make $100 million in one year and see what Uncle Sam gonna do. It would be like he aint never fought Shane. I'm telling you the real deal of how it is. That is the only reason they didn't make the fight. The fight's gonna still happen. I'm pretty sure about that. It may not happen right away this year, but it's going to happen. I'm telling you the reason why. I don't know what he [Floyd Mayweather] gonna tell you, but I know the reason why. If they gonna take away the money he made when he fought Shane, then why would he fight this year?

    PC: Manny Pacquiao is set to face Antonio Margarito for the vacant 154-pound title, but Pacquiao wants the fight to take place at 150...

    FM: (CUtting in) He want to do what now?

    PC: Pacquiao-Margarito for the 154-pound title at 150. What do you think about that?

    FM: Ah man, that's bull****! That's bull****! How in the **** they gonna dictate...this ain't nothing but scrutiny, man. That's all it is man. If people can't see what's going on, man, this man can make people lose weight and make them struggle to make weight. Mother****er, if you can fight that mother****ing good and you knocking all these big mother****ers out, step up! That's what he is supposed to do, step up! That show you he ain't knocking out the real men he's supposed to be knocking out anyway. Whatever the condition is, he still makes them drop pounds still. Even with all of the bull****, he still makes them drop weight. Man, look here man, how they gonna dictate a weight? What is this? What in the hell is going on with boxing? That's what I want to know. Anytime you can get a little mother****ing short Filipino come in and call shots like this, you goddamn right this mother****er can be the mayor, President or whoever the **** he supposed to be over there. He definitely ain't nowhere near the pound-for-pound king, but he is the catchweight king. He got that title.

    PC: Do you think Margarito has a shot at beating Pacquiao?

    FM: Man, let me tell you something. I'm gonna tell you right now, if he lose the weight, Margarito, he getting his ass whooped. He lose the weight, he getting his ass whooped. Pacquiao would whoop his ass without the weight loss, if we being for real. What can I say? He the man (laughing). Pacquiao is the man (laughing harder).

    PC: Let's switch gears and talk about other things going on in boxing. What do you think of the Super Six tourney?

    FM: I think Andre Ward is going to have a pretty good fight with Dirrell. Not that Ward not gonna win, but I think he will have a much better fight than he had with Alan Green. ****, Alan Green is green and I ain't talking about no damn money. I'm talking about green like a piece of **** green. He looked like he ain't never fought before.

    PC: What about the 140-pound division? Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander are hot fighters. You like either of those guys?

    FM: I know Bradley just went up to fight and Alexander fighting pretty soon, right?

    PC: Yup, on the 7th.

    FM: I like Bradley as a fighter, man, but at welterweight...I'm going to tell you the honest truth man, I went to sleep on the fight. And then I got up and was looking at it again and tried to finish off where I left off and I went on about my business, man. That fight wasn't nothing, man. I hope he ain't talking about fighting Lil Floyd with that? He better leave that welterweight class alone. If he want to get paid, he better stay where he at. Ain't nothing going on with him and Lil Floyd with that.

    PC: You staying busy these days?

    FM: I'm just working with Fernando [Vargas] and everything is looking good. I'm getting ready to quit boxing real soon.

    PC: Really?

    FM: Yeah, I'm getting ready to quit boxing. One thing is mainly because of my lungs. My lungs man...I just had a brother pass not too long ago and I'm not trying to follow them tracks. Let me tell you something man, I do like living. Whatever happens, either way, I came out of prison and made a mark for myself. I can take care of myself and I'm good. What I want to do is write a couple of books and be cool.

    PC: You have lived an interesting life my man, so that would be a good look for you to put it in print.

    FM: I got a lot more to tell than what I told you down here, believe me. Don't worry about it though man, we will get a chance to hook up and go over some things. I'm about to start...me and Floyd about to start walking around suited and booted now. I'm not going away right now, but it's going to be soon. It won't be too much longer. The one thing I wanted to do, and I attempted to do, was to make myself the best in the world and I did that and they can't take that away from me.

    PC: I appreciate your time. I will hit you up later on in the week. Give the boxing fans something in closing.

    FM: I'm going to tell you about Pacquiao. He's supposed to be the champion of the decade and all of that ****. All of the young people out there, please, whatever you do, don't take after this man. He's not a role model. First of all, if you're going to fight, be a real true champion and fight at the real weight class and don't have a problem with the pounds if you are the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world. There shouldn't be any issue with weight, pounds, or any of that. you're beating all of these big guy's and knocking them out, making them quit, run, hide with they tails stuck between their legs and now, all of a sudden, you worrying about weight? Come on man. That's enough to be said. Ya'll figure out the rest!
    This is bull****.Floyd is already earning over $373 650 and so his tax rate is the same regardless of whether he makes $60m or $120m.Besides there are various ways of reducing your tax liability without foregoing your income.I doubt very much that Floyd operates without limited liability because he chooses whether to fight or not.What makes it worse is there is no guarantee that Pacquiao will get past Margarito to set this fight next year so if Pacquiao gets beaten there wont be as much demand for Mayweather Pacquiao.There are other reasons not this stuff Floyd Sr is talking about.

      tax is done year by year on a % basis of your annual earnings

      if u make 100M one year and none the next, or 60M one year and 40M the next, u lose the same in tax (unless the tax % increases or decreases from one year to the next due to a govt policy change)

Mainly because Margarito never had a shot and we're talking about a paper belt. Maybe those 4 extra pounds would have helped him take punches a lot better, but regardless, it's a joke of a fight.
        He did spill garbage.

        The tax issue is garbage.

        He's already in the top tax bracket... if he makes more this year it won't make a difference.

        He will actually pay MORe in taxes next year since the Bush tax cuts are expiring at the end of the year and the highest tax bracket will go from 35% to 39.6%.

        So he's FOS.

            This is the truth ^^^^^ Floyd will lose more next year

              I'm sure Arum knew about this along but still went ahead in making Mayweather look like the bad guy.
              This is not even the truth,it's a foolish excuse and everyday someone comes with a ****** excuse.
              Floyd says he's enjoying his family,
              his uncle says there was a problem with the purse split,
              his father says it's the tax system (which is bull**** anywhere),
              Ellerbe says negotiations never took place,
              Oscar DelaHoya says he only answered to get the question over.
              These guys communicate frequently how can they have so many reasons?

                The more that's been taken away from you means you earned more. I haven't earned a million dollars in a year yet but from what I know, Uncle Sam takes away around 50% from you if you earned that much money. It basically doesn't go over more than 50% after that.

                So let's say Floyd earned 40 million dollars, the government would take away 20 million, and if Floyd earned 100 then the Gov will take 50. So yea, Uncle Sam got 50 from you instead of just 20, BUT look how much you made. I earned 50......and 50 is bigger than 20.

                I'd take 50 million Dollars (after taxes) OVER 20 million dollars (after taxes) ANY DAY.

                      Let's all applaud Floyd's legacy: bringing conversations about tax brackets to boxing forums.

                      41-0? Nah, 401k!
