    "When Michael Koncz came over to me and said Manny wanted to take a picture with me, I said "no, I don't want to take a picture with [Manny], because you're a liar. You told me years ago that you were in control and you gave me your phone number and said all I had to do was call you to make the fight happen. You said [Top Rank CEO] Bob Arum was not in control. You told me. Then I said 'you told me and you said you were a man of your word and haven't been a man of your word, so no I'm not taking your picture with Manny Pacquiao. That's a no-go," Mayweather explained

    "I told Pacquiao 'I don't know what Bob Arum has been telling you guys, but it's not true. And he's been telling you guys in the media things for years that are not true. [I told him] if you take random blood and urine testing and its on an even playing field - we can make the fight happen. I told him I don't want Michael Koncz number. I've got Michael Koncz number - he's full of ****.

    "I don't want his number, he's full of ****. Michael Koncz don't work for you. He don't care about your well being. I know what happens behind the scenes in the sport of boxing. Just like I said, on Saturday, YOU WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE PAYDAYS.

    Mayweather then said, in his personal opinion, that Pacquiao was not treated fairly by Top Rank - in terms of finances - for the May 2nd collision. Mayweather was promoted by Top Rank when he turned pro and stayed with the company until 2006, when he bought his contract out and became a free agent.

    "Like when he said he said he signed paperwork [to fight me earlier this year]. I said you must have signed an extention or you must have signed half your money over. As far as you said you signed to fight, that's not true," Mayweather said.

    "I told him that I'm surprised that he's not working with Al Haymon. If he was working with us directly, I think he would have made a lot more money. He would have really made $100 million dollars, if he would have worked with us."

    "I don't know why they had him staying at that type of hotel [in Miami]. Like I said before, the treatment. It wasn't right. I'm not here to put the hotel on blast, but it wasn't right. Financially, I don't think Top Rank treated him right for this fight.

    And if he followed floyd's lowball joke of an offer, pac would have received a flat fee without ppv upside.

    Under haymon, pac will be forced to accept payment in pesos.

    Floyd doesnt even believe pac deserves any ppv shares. Why would he say something stupid like this?

    Oh thats right. Must be one of those " dont put words in my mouth" kind of thing.

    if that's true, then with Floyd being adament of having the lion's share, isn't he getting lowballed as well with just over $100M?
    According to his "logic" he must be.

    That's exactly what Mayweather did. He did eventually mind his own business and now he's one of the highest(if not #1) paid athletes in the world.
