Mayweather disagree with uncle and dad regarding Broner.

Al Haymon/Showtime probably told him to say that. He probably had a good laugh with his uncles after the fight.

I don't think Floyd realizes that by knocking his dad and uncle Roger for giving their views about Broner and his latest loss to Maidaina, he's actually doing the same thing to them.

Why didn't he just say "..no comment..me, my dad and my uncle are three different people and are entitled to our own point of views.." Instead, he went on to quote all these inferior boxing win/loss records and title achievements as a premise for why Floyd Sr. and Roger should keep their mouths shut.

As the interview got longer, it got worse.

I don't know how Pacman's issues with the IRS could come out of the original question. Surely he's using Manny as a springboard. It's also called 'kicking a man when he's down'..especially a fellow boxer. Also, by saying Manny is using his present dilemma as a reason to pursue the fight, clearly, he's only showing the fans a whole new breed of excuses he's fabricating to protect his gracious "0"...which now more look like "45 wins-0 risk".
It's the first time I've ever seen a boxer put down a fellow boxer so far in the distance of potentially the greatest showdown he'll ever be involved in both financially and legacy wise. He even tries to woo the public into believing that his opponent is irrelevant by discrediting all his opponent achievements and he makes accusations based on unproven data to avoid fighting him.

I guess all this becomes easier to expedite due to the hefty contract that was given FM. He doesn't need the money...but, the fans need the fight. What's more important?

It's obvious, Pacquiao is in his Floyd's head and it's going to haunt him even when they finally get in the ring.

I know the fight will happen. If the boxing fraternity let this fight slip away then it's a failure for all..mostly Showtime, HBO, Top Rank, GBP. This is what you call injustice. The fan is your meal ticket and they're not getting their money's worth..that's cheating and the fans are hurting..I am! History will have the last say.

Floyd Mayweather jr. could say what he likes about Manny Pac; if this fight doesn't happen his legacy would take a beating and his avoidance of Manny would be looked upon as the most blatant duck in the history of the sport by arguably the biggest coward. The more he uses the term "great" or any superlative of it to describe himself, is the more ironic and hilarious it sounds.

I truly don't know where he's going with the whole patriotic reference to himself as "American" and how much he loves his country and care about the American people and all this crap; but it surely reminds of one of his earlier excuses to avoid fighting Pacman when he said '..how could Americans allow this Filipino guy to come to this country, make all this money and take it out..' or words to the effect.

It sounded like a joke to me then and his patriotic rant in this interview sounds the same. I remember the first time he said it, I was thinking, 'does this this guy have a clue of how immigration works?....for every country has immigrants in other countries doing the same..more so, America.

Floyd owes me, a black man, two things 1. fight Manny Pacquiao. 2. Find a way to get more intelligent and put more depth in his interviews. Even Mike Tyson is more quotable than Floyd Mayweather jr.

Floyd's bitterness and ****iness gets in the way of his intelligence. Tyson's humility and honesty brings out the best in him.

I honestly think he will lose the fight with Pacman. I actually wants him to lose so he will come off that false high he's on and realize that boxing greatness is not measured by a win/loss record.

A perfect record only puts into question 'who was the competion' and 'how much you extended yourself'...not the fact that you were perfectly good.

The man offered Manny the fight twice and was turned down twice. So ya I'm sure Floyd is getting a little kick out of Mannys situation. Especially the 09 offer. Who in their right mind turns down a 50/50 split with FLOYD MAYWEATHER to fight Joshua Clottey? Then he turns down 40 mil guarunteed, at a time when nobody had ever gotten that high of a guaruntee before. Now only 4 years later Manny is broke as a joke. Aint life grand?

Mayweather never brings Pacquaio up, ever.

you slightly sound like a boxing fan. You're a Mayweather fan not a boxing fan. The type that would help Floyd find new excuses. That's why Floyd and his fans will keep regurgitating the 50/50 offer, the 40 million offer etc...when Floyd said himself he would never do business with Bob Arum. Why make these offers when you won't do business with Bob. My guess is, only the true boxing fan sees the flaws in those ridiculous offers. They were smoke screens to mask the true reason Floyd will not fight. He's afraid of Manny.

It's strange how 90% of people believe Floyd will beat Manny or even school him if they ever fight. But, you know what's the irony of that statistic? Floyd is part of the 10% who believes otherwise.

this proves what we already know about floyd , a cherrypicker..he wanted AA to have done the same...

add him to the many people that think floyd's scared...

[BattleAxePurist]

You're saying Broner told Schaefer/Haymon that he was fighting Maidana and they had no say,,, really,

That fight was originally a ppv fight then got switched to showtime they handpicked him for Broner thinking he could handle it,

So in that context he seems to be trying to send Broner a message to let your team "pick" opponents , but they did and it backfired bcse he's just not what they thought he was.

The Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Saul "Canelo" Alvarez junior middleweight unification fight last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas indeed lived up to its billing as "The One."

Showtime, which broadcast the fight on pay-per-view, announced Thursday, along with promoters Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, that Mayweather's dominant decision victory shattered the all-time record for highest-grossing pay-per-view fight of all time, generating $150 million in revenue from 2.2 million pay-per-view buys.
