Comments Thread For: Mayweather: My Dad, Ellerbe Have No Say on My Career

[peplz]

You guys watch too many movies.

Yeah right... And not enough Fox News? I guess we're "conspiracy theorists". We probably listen to too much NPR too. Right?

Youre falling for the Pacquiao fan okee doke bro... For the last few years all of these guys on these comment boards have tried to make the entire Pacquiao Mayweather saga about the latest thing that has been said to the media by either guy or their "representatives". Should Mayweather use the Bob Arum Pacquiao playbook and use lies and media manipulation to play the public into believing that the fight is being negotiated when it really isn't? I totally agree with Mayweather here. His father definitely runs his mouth to the media too much. The media does not negotiate fight contracts.

If Mayweather told you to eat a turd you would go at it like a tramps dog eating a warm bag of chips.

Okay, so all that aside, what would be the purpose of avoiding a Pacquiao right now, at this time? Pac has already agreed to a smaller purse and drug testing. Why avoid it, right now? Please, give me a good answer that makes sense in your mind and I gaurantee, you will look like an idiot just like Floyd.

Is this the same guy that says he has to go back and discuss whats next with his team and dad after every fight?

I think it is, lol. Built in excuses.

You are correct, It's a shame that he Is so full of excuses and contradictions. Mayweather Is a good fighter but he Is well on his way to being remembered for his outside the ring activities as opposed to his ring accomplishments.

He basically revealed himself again, anyone who tries to make the Pacquiao fight happen he fires, he fired Roger, 50 cent, Ellerbe, Garcia who was telling people Floyd will fight Pac next, and his father might be next to go.

Like I been saying its all on Floyd, not Pac or Arum, he chooses who he wants to fight, he said it here clear as day only he and haymon have the say and he is his own boss.

He straight up contradicts himself saying Pac and Khan have problems with garcia and marquez, yet he says he made the Maidana fight happen easy, but didn't Maidana have Alexander and Khan problems? or does that only apply to guys who move and throw a lot of punches and hard to time with speedy movements?

BT: What's up, Floyd? Recently, I spoke to your father and he seemed convinced that you and Manny Pacquiao will eventually be fighting...

FM: (Cutting in) Well my father is totally wrong. Like I said before, we have people constantly being removed from the Mayweather Promotions team, Team Mayweather, and we also have people being removed from The Money Team. I want my dad to be with my team, but if he continues to go out there and speak on things that he has no knowledge about without communicating with me, then I must get a new trainer.

BT: There was also a recent story on a U.K. news site that had some quotes from you claiming that your father was desperate for you to fight Amir Khan...

FM: (Cutting in) Once again, my dad has no say-so on my career, Leonard Ellerbe has no say-so on my career, and me and Al Haymon, we're going to compromise and communicate and always be on the same page.

BT: The article had quotes from you making it sound like...

FM: (Cutting in) It's not true. It's a lie.

BT: (Laughing) I know, Champ. The quotes didn't even sound like you, but I have to ask to clear things up. Basically, the quotes made it sound like you were leaning towards a fight with Amir Khan because you wanted to "put him down" on his "backside" for talking some smack to you. Obviously, I take it that's not the case, right?

FM: I could care less what Amir Khan say, just like I could care less what anybody say. I'ma do what I want to do when I want to and how I want to. I don't know who I'm fighting next. I don't even know if I'm fighting again. Like I told you, a lot of different crazy thoughts go through my mind every day. Sometimes I want to fight, sometimes I don't want to fight. Listen, like I said before, he still got Danny Garcia problems just like Pacquiao still got Marquez problems. So, you know, like I said before, they are still haunted by those fighters. When I fought Maidana, I said I can make the fight easy if I want to. I went out there and made it easy and they complained again. It's never good enough. Never good enough, but as long as I'm happy.

He never fired roger, he went back to sr after roger's diabetes got to be too serious where it was affecting his ability to be a full time trainer. roger is still around in his corner

floyd junior.....will disown his father if it means......a fight with pacquiao

It's crazy isn't it? It's gotta be at the point now where his irrational fear of Pac should be classified as a psychological phobia- PacManaphobia.

Dude is willing to give his trainer, his own father, the axe just for expressing his optimism over the fight happening. It seems like the whole world, including his inner circle and family members, is putting the pressure on this clown to finally step up. But his response is to disown anyone who even brings it up. Did he ever tell us the real reason he fired his head chest rubber Ellerbe?

lol but oscar disloyal doe....

fcking floyd and his never ending hypocrisy and contradictions.

Lol, that disloyal Oscar.

To even threaten to fire your own father over such a matter kind of shows how fragile Floyd Is when It comes to Pacquiao.
