Floyd was pissed off from the beginning of the interview to the end. Stuttering a lot. Many times not giving ESPN a chance to talk, cutting them off. Acting the whole time like ESPN took his bottle away. Pretty funny. Floyd: Well, u know I'm the cash cow, I'm not chasing him, I'm not out there chasing fighters now. ESPN: What about Pacquiao? Floyd: I'm not chasing him. I'm here to talk about Marquez. This is about Mayweather. Mayweather, all roads lead to Floyd Mayweather. I don't have to chase Pacquiao. Pacquaio needs me, I don't need him. With or without Pacquaio, my legacy, I am going down as one of the best. ESPN: Both of u are great fighters. Its seems like u both need each other at this point. Floyd: Uh, uh, I mean, I mean, I don't recall Pacquaio doing in 2 fights 3.5 million homes, and generating 250 million in 1 hour. ESPN: He did pretty good for the Hatton fight. Floyd: I'd done more in my Hatton fight. ESPN: What would the purse be if u did the Pacquiao fight? Floyd: I'm not here to talk about none of them. They don't mean nothing. They don't call me Floyd money mayweather for nothing. u already know, uh, uh, I am gonna break the bank. Every time that I go out there. Wit wit Pacquaio, wit wit Hatton and pacquaio fought last fight, in this fight right here, I'm making more than what they made together. ESPN: U know when we throw around the term best P4p fighter alive, u were the best p4p fighter before u retired. Floyd: Okay so I got to ask u a question, ESPN: no no, then came a guy after that, Floyd: no no I got to ask u a question, ESPN: what does it mean then, Floyd: whatcha whatcha mean that I'm a missed fighter, ESPN: u left floyd, u left floyd, u left for a year and a half, Floyd: ok, who beat me. nobody, ESPN: but, u left. U took yourself out of the equation. Floyd: So can I, so can I ask u a question, ESPN: Pacquaio became the best p4p fighter still fighting. Floyd: How many times has Pacquuaio been beat? ESPN: No. Floyd: Yes he has, yes he has, he been beat 3 times, and KO and ko twice, and 2 draws, ESPN: Its been, its been a while. Floyd: What chu mean it's been a while? ESPN: Its been in the last 10 years. Floyd: What are u talking about. ESPN: Well, that is a while, right? Floyd: It's not a while. I've been a champion for 10 years. When, when he was gonna get KO, it has been said, when he was getting Ko, I was dominating. ESPN: Pacquaio was called the best p4p fighter when u walked away, I'm asking u what does it mean, Floyd stuttering soemthing, ESPN: well, well, what does it mean to you that, Pacquaio, being p4p, Floyd: pacquaio can be called that, pacquaio can be called that, u just call me the cash king. U know stats don't lie. It doesn't matter if he is the best p4p as long he is, I don't care, as long as the money is there. I don't fight for bragging rights. I fight for checks. ESPN: All right. The fight is what, JUly 18th in Las vegas Floyd: July 18th u know the date, I don't got to tell you. ESPN: I get confused every once in a while why that, Juan Manuel Marquez and floyd mayweather, we are looking forward to it, Floyd we appreciate the time. Floyd with a cheesy smile: Thanks for having me.
Funny how the first thing he reaches for is PPV stats...funny how he never had a PPV until he fought Gatti. What an insecure child.
:good for Floyd. Ca$h King. So brash. So abrasive. I luv it. "When he was getting ko'd I was dominating."
Man this website needs a "Floyd Hater" forum....I bet it would be more busy than the European furum Not saying some of the criticism directed at Floyd isn't justified, but damn.:-(
Yes and it also make people that hate him like you do buy his fights, hoping that he does lose... "I dont care if you buy a ticket to watch me lose, as long as you buy a ticket"---Ali:good
