Heated Interview with Floyd Mayweather Jr - "Money" Gets Agitated over Drug Question

[ELPacman]

"he’s not going to be ordinary and then get to the age of twenty-five or over twenty-five and then become extraordinary."

Oh really Floyd? Over 25 is generally when most fighters enter their prime years. Over 30 is when they are just experienced and as good as they could be if they had successful prime years. But I wouldn't expect Floyd to understand that. He believes he has money...

[S.G.]

So Mayweather is suppose to say he wants to assure his safety/ or say he really believes Pacquiao is on something? It's either one or the other, that can't be too hard to see.

Exactly.

The reporter is obviously alluding to the possibility that Mayweather was for some reason afraid of Pacquiao but that's such a ridiculous assumption. For anyone who's followed Mayweather since his return from retirement with a clear head and no pre-formed conclusions it's fairly clear he wants to fight Pacquiao.

Why did Mayweather ask for drug testing then? Err because he suspected Pacquiao has on steroids. The reason he suspected him doesn't matter and if Pacquiao had nothing to hide those tests would have been a trivial formality and a complete non-factor that might've had two or three threads on NSB dedicated towards it at most.

Also the reporter is basing this conclusion that Mayweather was afraid of Pacquiao on the assumption that Mayweather, being the evil genius and mastermind plotter that he is, predicted Pacquiao would balk and flush $25m down the toilet over the simple request for more drug testing. Which, even as stupid a conclusion as it is, also suggests Pacquiao is in fact guilty.

Ask yourself how could Mayweather possibly know Pacquiao would run a mile at the mention of random blood testing? The only reasonable guesses are that either he knew Pacquiao was juicing and would refuse testing for that reason.....or that he knew Pacquiao was ultra superstitious and afraid of needles and would refuse testing for that reason ().

If he was really afraid of Pacquiao why not center your getaway plan around something that is a bit more secure, like demanding a 60-40 split or something? Instead of immediately conceding to a 50-50 split even though it could easily be argued that he is the bigger PPV draw. Why would you formulate a plan that relies on something as highly improbable as a supposedly clean athlete throwing a hissy fit over extra PED testing? It makes no sense.

floyd is really good at ducking and dodging questions.

all very good answers... now why didn't floyd just come out and say that.

[Ray*]

Of course Mayweather is doing it for himself, He isnt doing it to clean up boxing or the sport but for himself but i dont have a problem with that, He has all the right to protect himself if he feels his opponent was on something that cannot be detect by the original/standard testing.

[Carpe Diem]

Exactly.

You're absolutely right, S.G.

Its more easy for Mayweather to refuse the fight when Pacquiao asked for a 10million dollars fine for every pound over 147.

Excatly.

You my son are a genuis. You need to sig this quote.

Great. A question I've been wanting answered for awhile too.

Exactly Ray. They were hoping that Floyd would turned down that request since he's very sensitive about money, but it didn't happened. It clearly shows they weren't prepared for him.
