    Floyd Mayweather refuses to acknowledge Anthony Joshua in interview

    Mayweather can never give another guy top dog status...

    Mayweather was asked questions about heavyweight king Anthony Joshua’s rise to global superstardom with victory over Wladimir Klitschko last month.
    But Floyds response as always was a robotic script and had nothing to do with the questions asked..

    Floyds response:
    “A lot of young, tough competitors out there. A lot of fighters giving the sport of boxing blood, sweat and tears. They’re working hard every day.”
    “You’ve got Gervonta Davis, you’ve got Badou Jack – and you have numerous other fighters that aren’t even under the Mayweather banner – working hard and giving the sport blood, sweat and tears.”


    He goes off on a tangent and talks about Gervonta Davis and Badou Jack and puts them in the same bracket as Joshua... Then spends the majority if the interview talking about himself.

    He isn't there to promote other fighters, which would probably create more column inches than what he says about his own. He's doing what he needs to.

          He misses the spot light.

            Of course he is. He's the owner of TMT. The more he gets his name and his fighters talked about the better for his company..

              Joshua has 1 good fight, against an old man, and the world is supposed to revolve around him now? If he ever accomplishes even half of what Mayweather did, then we can say he's being ignored.

                  Dont remember him ever acknowledging Joshua. Messes with his handing over the face of boxing to Canelo thinking

                    The Guardian: Mayweather Says ''Joshua Is The Real Deal...'' excludes any mention about TMT stable from complete interview...

                    Floyd knows every word makes a difference. How much does Eddie benefit by a mere props from Floyd?!
