What it would mean if Manny Pacquiao knocks out Shane Mosley when his nephew was unable to do so:
“That don’t mean **** because the difference is my nephew takes tests and it’s the real tests. He takes the real drug tests. He ain’t even want to fight my nephew because he won’t take a test. ‘Oh, I can’t take no test five days before a fight!’ How in the world as you as a fighter going to tell somebody you can’t take a test five days before the fight when fighters take a test a day or two before the fight anyway! But he can’t take a test five days out! Why? That’s what he said! He can’t take a test five days before the fight because that’s going to make him weak. Well what does it make the other fighter? Does it make him weak, too? The only reason why my nephew hasn’t fought Pacquiao is because Pacquiao number one doesn’t want to agree to the drug test. That’s all there is to it. He says he does, but when it comes time he don’t want to do it. He can’t take no test a couple of days out before the fight. Why? First off, most fighters take a test damn near a day before the fight. They don’t take no test a week before the fight. They take a test a day or two before the fight, but he says he can’t take a test because it’s oing to make him weak.”
On claims from Bob Arum that Floyd Junior demanded $100 million to fight Pacquiao:
“Let me tell you something, he’s just talking that wack! Floyd’s probably going to make $100 million anyway, because number one they start out at $50 million each. So they’re probably going to make $100 million anyway, so what difference does that make? So if he gets $100 million, he gets $100 million! They’re going to make $300-400 million so what difference does it make? They’re the fighters. They deserve the money. They’re the ones who provide the excitement. So if you get $100 million, so what! $100 million ain’t nothing when you start talking about guys making $400-500 million. The biggest fight to this day is my nephew and De La Hoya. It grossed over $300 million. So what is it talking about a guy getting $100 million? He deserves $100 million! Both of them deserve $100 million if they’re providing the entertainment, ain’t they? How much is Bob Arum supposed to get? That’s why he must be worried about it then, because if Arum’s worried about them making $100 million than he must got problems! He must want to walk away with $200 million because the fight is going to be bigger than De La Hoya and my nephew. That’s all I got to say! If that fight grossed over $300 million this is going to gross more money than that, and since this is going to gross more money than that, how is he going to talk about somebody getting $100 million? How much money is he supposed to get? That’s what the hell he needs to talk about. Arum needs to worry about how much money he’s going to rob from Pacquiao. That’s what he’s going to do!”
His views on whether the interest in a fight between his nephew and Pacquiao has lost steam because negotiations have taken too long:
“Nope, people want to see the fight! Why do I know that? Because people ask me and I don’t care where I’m at. A guy stopped me the other day and he was a Filipino guy. I’m walking.
He stopped to talk and he said, ‘Excuse me, sir. I want to ask you a question.’
I said, ‘What?’
He said, ‘Are you Mayweather’s Uncle’? Like that.
I said, ‘Yeah, I’m Mayweather’s Uncle. Why?’
He said, ‘Man, I want to see a fight with Pacquiao and your nephew’.
I said, ‘Well yeah, hopefully it happens. It’s going to be one of the highest grossing fights in history’.
He said, ‘Man, that’s going to make a lot of money!’
I said, ‘Yeah, it’s going to make a lot of money. Compared to how big they are, yeah it’s going to make a lot of money’.
He said, ‘Well what do you think about the fight?’
I said, ‘Well what do you mean what do I think? What do I think about the fight? Who will win? Who will lose?’
He said, ‘Well what do you think about your nephew fighting Pacquiao?’
I said, ‘Obviously they haven’t fought for some reason. There is a reason why they haven’t fought’. I said, ‘Because a fight worth that kind of money, and that’s the biggest fight on record. There isn’t any fight that even grossed that kind of money. Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns didn’t gross $300 million. Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard didn’t gross $300 million. The only fight that grossed that kind of money was my nephew and De la Hoya.”
On whether he has ever researched Sergio Martinez as a potential opponent:
“Nope. I don’t even know who Sergio Martinez is! I don’t know! I mean really I truly don’t know him. The fighters today, I know very little about them. Somebody said about Maidana. I don’t really know nothing about Maidana. What was the guy you said he fought? Amir Khan! I was there! I was there and I didn’t even know who the guy was! I was there, though. I was at the fight but I didn’t know who he was. These days now I don’t know much about the fighters in this era and time. I know about the earlier days, but not this.”
His views on whether Sergio Martinez has a chance to land a fight either with Pacquiao or his nephew:
“I know he ain’t going to fight Pacquiao because Pacquiao ain’t going to fight you if you’re over 150 pounds. So that ain’t going to even happen unless you’ve been off for damn near two years. Pacquiao ain’t going to fight you if you’re 150 pounds. Why do you think he made De La Hoya bring his ass down to 140-something and the same thing with all the rest of them. He ain’t never fought no fighter at their regular weight. The only person he fought at his regular weight, and he fought him a draw, and that was Marquez. He fought a draw and a split decision with Marquez. He’s the only guy who he ever fought at his own weight, and Marquez was only a 130 pounder anyway.”
On whether he would be interested in seeing his nephew Floyd Junior challenge Sergio Martinez for the middleweight title:
“Well I mean my nephew boxes middleweights so I don’t think he has a problem fighting middleweights. Weight don’t win fights anyway. Skills do. Ray Leonard when he was laid off five and a half years and had two detached retina surgeries he whopped Marvin Hagler’s ass and weight made no difference. That just shows you.”
Whether him and his nephew are at all worried that Pacquiao might lose to Mosley and potentially risk them a huge pay day in the future:
“Nope. If Shane beats him that’s what’s supposed to happen. I thought De La Hoya would beat him but under the circumstances I see why he didn’t beat him now, but that’s beside the point. The point is Shane Mosley can beat him. They’ve already said. I heard them say it. ‘We’ll fight Shane, but Shane Mosley will have to take a test’. That’s what they said! How do all of these people have to take tests and you don’t take one yourself. That don’t even make sense! All these people taking the test that he’s fighting, but then he doesn’t take the damn test himself! Then when he fought Ricky Hatton and De La Hoya, he made them fight him at a catch weight anyway. He never fought De La Hoya at 147 pounds. He had to weigh in at like 144 pounds. Ricky Hatton weighed 140-something. He ain’t fought nobody at their regular weight. If you’re the welterweight champion you fight guys at welterweight, at 147. That’s what I know about boxing, but he ain’t never fought them guys at that weight. That’s what he says. That’s all I can tell you about what I know about Pacquiao. I don’t know much about him anyway. I don’t know much about him, but if he really wanted to fight for that kind of money that them guys are getting for that fight to happen then he’s got to take a test. Everybody is taking a test but you. Something has got to be wrong. You’re getting $100 million. That’s easy money to get because that fight is that big and there is interest to make that kind of money. This fight is bigger than De La Hoya and my nephew and that’s the highest grossing fight in history right now with over $300 million. Those guys will walk away with over $100 million each, at least! Remember, they’re already starting off the bid out at $50 million each anyway. So how in the world ain’t you going to get $100 million?”
Regarding Pacquiao’s statement on the previous week’s show that he views himself as a natural 140 pound boxer:
“Well if he’s 140 pounds that’s why he’s making De La Hoya make 143 or 144 pounds. What does Shane Mosley have to make? I heard Shane Mosley gets to make 147. That’s the weight they’re going to fight, but that ain’t the weight they’re going to be because it’s going to be a catch weight. I mean ****. He don’t fight nothing but with people at catch weights.”
His views if Pacquiao really did fight Mosley at the 147 pound limit:
“He ain’t going to fight him at 147. I already know that. It may say 147. De La Hoya he fought at 147 but really De La Hoya fought at 144. The same thing with Ricky Hatton, there is not one of those guys that he beat that he legitimately beat at 147.”
Regarding the fact that Pacquiao’s victory over Ricky Hatton was in fact for the Ring Magazine 140 pound title:
“Like I said, he ain’t fought any one of those guys at welterweight, period! He fought nobody at welterweight! He fought them at a catch weight. Margarito had been laid off so long he fought Margarito.”
On whether he as a trainer sees any weaknesses in Manny Pacquiao’s game:
“Pacquiao really don’t got no boxing skills, period! What I see Pacquiao do is pretty much like a wild amateur fighter! Basically he ain’t got no real boxing skills. I mean not from what I know about boxing. What I see, I know what I see. Most people think because a guy whops somebody that he’s got skills. That don’t mean he got skills. He’s whopping guys basically because as far as I see he’s wild. He’s just wild. That’s all he is.”
“That don’t mean **** because the difference is my nephew takes tests and it’s the real tests. He takes the real drug tests. He ain’t even want to fight my nephew because he won’t take a test. ‘Oh, I can’t take no test five days before a fight!’ How in the world as you as a fighter going to tell somebody you can’t take a test five days before the fight when fighters take a test a day or two before the fight anyway!
