Floyd Mayweather Sr: “Maidana wasn’t fighting fair so how could you say he won anything if he’s fighting that way!”

59 Submitted by on Wed, 14 May 2014, 11:22

In the built up to ‘The Moment’ the question that fans asked the most was, what would be next for Floyd after the win? Following Mayweather-Maidana it was pretty clear what would be next, as Marcos Maidana had more success against Mayweather than any fighter before him and showed that Mayweather’s perfect record, might not be perfect forever.

In part 1 of my interview with Floyd Mayweather Sr, I get his thoughts on his son’s fight with Maidana and what he thought about Maidana’s strategy to win. Floyd also talks about the refereeing in the bout, and if he thinks his son should really give Maidana a rematch. Additionally Floyd talks about what options could be next for his son, and what he thought about Amir Khan’s recent performance against Luis Collazo. Here is what Floyd Mayweather Sr. had to say.

Jenna J: Floyd what are your thoughts on your son’s fight with Marcos Maidana?

Floyd Mayweather Sr: Well it was like a supreme boxer fighting with an MMA fighter. The guy did everything that was wrong, he head butted him, he hit him behind the head, he kneed him, he twist his arm — what can you say that he did not do? He did it all. Everything that was bad, he did it.

Jenna: Were you concerned when you saw Maidana go out that way and that the referee wasn’t doing anything about it?

Mayweather Sr: The referee didn’t do a damn thing about it. I’m really shocked and amazed about (Tony) Weeks, I’m really, really surprised that he didn’t do anything. He didn’t take a point, he didn’t do nothing. I know some refs that would have seen all that stuff that he did and they would have disqualified him, automatically.

Jenna: Were you concerned that your son was willingly going to the ropes early on in the fight?

Mayweather Sr: Well, one thing about it, there was a fight that happened and any fool that can’t see that the fight was in Floyd’s favor, something’s wrong with them because the judge come talk about it being even, there wasn’t anything even in that fight, period.

Jenna: Did you think the first 6 rounds were close?

Mayweather Sr: Yeah I think some of the rounds were close but you got to realize that it’s different when you’re fighting a guy that’s doing all that kind of stuff. I’m just saying, if you all want to call him winning all those rounds, you can say it but he can’t get no credit from me cause he didn’t do shit.

All he was doing was being dirty, that’s a fact about the whole thing. He wasn’t fighting fair so how could you say he won anything if he’s fighting that way? I ain’t give nobody no credit that’s hitting people behind the head, butting people with his head, twisting people’s arms, and hitting people below the belt. He did everything that was wrong.

Jenna: Do you think Floyd could have made the fight easier for himself?

Mayweather Sr: Yes I do, and I think he will do it the next time. I think the next time, we’re gonna sit down and go over everything. We’re gonna do it totally different. If my son do like I tell him to do — my son even said that he didn’t listen to me and kind of did his own thing. That happens some times, sometimes people in their head they do it their way. He did it his way but still came out on top, that’s a good thing.

Jenna: From a trainers perspective do you give Maidana any credit at all for the way he attacked your son?

Mayweather Sr: No, you don’t get no credit from me at all from fighting that way. Not only that, if you listened to it, what did his trainer tell him to do? When it got late in the rounds what did his trainers tell him to do? The trainers were telling him, “Whatever you’re doing, do whatever it takes to win.” What is that? His trainer was telling him to play dirty.

Jenna: You think Robert Garcia’s plan was to try to rough up your son?

Mayweather Sr: Oh that’s definitely what they were saying about my son. But you know what? My son ain’t no Broner, my son is not no Broner by far. I think you saw that yourself.

Jenna: Now the big question is, what’s next for your son? Do you think it should be a Maidana fight again?

Mayweather Sr: I wouldn’t fight him again. Honestly, I would not fight him again.

Jenna: Why is that? Do you think he doesn’t deserve it for the way that he fought?

Mayweather Sr: Exactly, but you know, if we do fight him again, I guarantee you Weeks will not be a ref, not at all. If you got somebody that can ref, then they’re gonna take points. If they take points for the things that he do, hey, then he’ll stop it, he’ll stop some of that stuff.

Jenna: Do you think fans want to see a rematch?

Mayweather Sr: A lot of people tell me that they don’t want to see the fight again. They feel like it’s a good fight but they feel like they don’t wanna see it when a guy is doing things like that and the referee letting it go.

Jenna: Then who would you want to see your son fight next? Would it be someone like Amir Khan?

Mayweather Sr: Let me say this right here — Amir Khan, he’s clumsy, he’s lousy, Amir Khan don’t look like nothing. Amir Khan don’t look like nothing, period. He looks like shit.

Jenna: What did you see from his performance against Luis Collazo?

Mayweather Sr: Man, some of the ways that I’ve seen that Amir Khan was throwing his punches, I don’t see much at all, I really don’t. He’s not impressive to me and that’s me and the millions of other people.

    Daddy Mayweather so confident his son’s going to win over Manny yet both father and son don’t want to fight Manny P.
    C’mon with the excuses… The best fight the best out there… Did Ali choose his opponents?.. C’mon, man!..
    How much money does Floyd really want? 70/30 split? 80/20 split? 60/40 split and no PPV money for Manny P.? What?!..
    Manny’s proposal before… 100 million dollars… Winner take all… No response from Floyd’s camp?..
    C’mon, man…

    Lets cut the bullshit right here….

    70/30 70% to the winner and 30% to the loser. This is the same deal for the PPV revenue.

    Lets see how much Manny wants the fight then. He knows he cant win and is trying to suck all he can from Mayweather before he walks off into the sunset. He has to get as much as he can because Jewish snake Arum takes 33% of Manny’s purse.

    Now….Who actually wants the fight.

      Anonymous man, did you ever heared/read that manny pac offered fmj that they will donate the purse to a charity win or lose? Now who’s scared again?

          if proceeds go to a charity, that money isn’t fake. That money is earned from fighting. If it is earned it isn’t free. Only idiots think fighting for charity is free. You are a new level of stupid.

    Floyd “will never fight manny” believe me man. no amount of money can replace a possible Loss. Floyd is a intelligent boxer he knows the risk of fighting pacquiao. look at the angles where manny throws his shots. it is phenomenal. floyd will just go down with a big question mark on his resume, such a waste for a coward boxer. floyd made it appear that he had a hard time with maidana but it was actually an easy fight for him, try to review the fight. now the mayweather wants a rematch with maidana becoz it will be another easy fight for them. theyre fooling you & taking your money the easy way. Maidana is not a Rated Boxer. he throws wildly without any sense. Im sure manny will pulvurize his face more than floyd did

  12. φietro says:

    VOILA!!! THE MAYWEATHERS JUST FOUND A NEW P L O Y

    pursuant to their success in preventing maidana from using the same gloves he’s always used,
    they will now PREVENT pacquiao from using hte 8oz. clito rys gloves he’s always used. the puncher’s gloves that inflicted PAIN & TORTURE & LUMPS & LOTS OF LUMPS UPON HIS OPPONENTS that helped break their wills and gave the wins for pacquiao (w/c events the mayweathers all saw as they cringed with every blow that pacquiao landed and KNEW PLOY COULD NOT WITHSTAND SUCH PAIN AND PUNISHMENTS which was the reason they came up with all sorts of ploys thru the years to avoid paq) OR there will be no fight.

    and if pacquiao is desperate enough for money (and he is in order to pay his back taxes and new assessments) he just might accept it. and it will be the end of pacquiao’s career as ploy will make him look like an amateur. ploy is the quicker of the two and if trapped will always clinch but otherwise ploy will just pot shot him all night and will look the TBE he always claimed. pacquio will not win a single round, guaranteed.

    PACQUIO CAN ONLY WIN AGAINST PLOY MAYWEATHER BECA– USE HE CAN INFLICT PAIN AND TORTURE HE NEVER FELT BEFORE THAT WILL CA– USE THE PAIN & INFORMATION OVERLOAD THAT WILL SHUTDOWN PLOY’S BRAIN FUNCTION. but with sparring gloves ploy mayweather will be IMPERVIOUS TO ANYTHING PACQUIAO BRINGS. remember that.

    the fight just might happen after all.

  13. floyd will be pulvurised by manny pacquiaos fast power combos……………

    Dissolve all Boxing Organizations because they are useless anyway. They cannot strip the title/banned /suspend FMJ or obliged him to fight the true contender, no unified champion in each weight division and keep on matching C class against the cherry picking champion to avoid loss and the great excuse is “I DON’T WANT TO BE A VEGETABLE.” There are Boxers that being strip of title or banned for life uttering bad words, but this FMJ his mouth is full of rotten trash.

  15. Bontog Losano says:

    A true reporter would have followed FMSr assertion with a question like this. If your sure Jr could lick MP easily then why not AGREE to the fight?

    • Bontog Losano says:

      We know the answer anyway. It will be back to ALIBI #1; because MP works with ARUM ha ha ha.

    Maybe Manny had a chance to beat Floyd back in 2009 or previous to that.

    Facts are facts. Manny has no KO victory since he Ko’d Hatton and no TKO victory since he TKO’d Cotto, 2009. Yeah, 2009. Five years.

    Five years gentlemen. So where is this ‘Power’ Where is it? Where did it go?

    Going through weights and smashing people up and then bang, it all stops? Hmmmm.

    So, no power for Manny and not on the level of Floyd’s ring IQ and technical ring-craft and accuracy.

    So, Manny beats Floyd with what exactly? Hopes and dreams?

    Wake up.

      why? is chicken floyd not gettin old either? they’ve both slowed down so don’t speak a big shit. chicken floyd needs to KO manny to win w/c is no longer happenin w/ floyd either, manny is unbeatable if not hit with a lucky punch.. but surely manny will pulvorize chicken floyd until he retires on his shit! tha’s for sure!

      How many of Floyd’s opponent was KO’ed by him? Exactly! Pathetic compared with Manny’s rate. Booom!

      presumptions, presumptions, presumptions! people before believed that the earth is flat until Galileo came along with his telescope and Magellan by his expedition. supporters of floyd believe that pacquiao has no match on him and pacquiao’s fans believe that he can defeat floyd. presumptions, presumptions, presumptions! all floyd and pac fans are no different to people in the past who believed that the earth is flat! let floyd and pacquiao prove your propositions by bringing them together in the same boxing ring!

    • balagtas says:

      Your crab mentallity will bring you nowhere, what about your Mayweather. Floyd also has no KO power. The face of his opponents is much better than the face of Pacquiao opponents. look at Maidina, his face is Flowless while Floyd got shit. Maybe Floyd imagine how he will looks like after fight with Pacman, maybe like Margarito, Bradley, Rios, Hatton, Marquez (even last fight), Cotto, etc..

  27. amado angara says:

    Stop arguing who ducked who, just read this article and analyze who doesn’t want to fight who:

    Boxing fans finally have confirmation of what many of them have so vehemently believed for years – that Floyd Mayweather was ducking Manny Pacquiao.

    “Hell no I didn’t want to fight Pacquiao after he whooped Cotto,” Mayweather said in an exclusive interview with ProBoxing-Fans.com, referring to Pacquiao’s November 2009 clash with Miguel Cotto. Pacquiao stopped Cotto in the 12th round of that bout, picking up his welterweight title in the process.

    “The drug testing stuff, the feud with [Bob] Arum… I mean, yea, I hate that guy, but it was a plan, a blueprint.

    “The plan was for me to stay unbeaten, become the biggest star in the sport, and wait for Pacquiao to lose in the meantime. I knew it would happen, and it did.

    “Listen, it’s not that I was scared of Pacquiao man. I’ve been fighting in the ring since I was 2. It’s just that I didn’t want to do it.

    “Cotto took a real beating in that fight, he probably didn’t recover for years. It wasn’t something I needed to do, and I didn’t need Pacquiao to help my legacy. I already have my legacy, period.”

    FLOYD SR, IF THATS WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND YOU KNOW FLOYD JR VS PACQUIAO WILL BE THE BIGGEST BOXING EVENT, PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR SON TO FIGHT PACQUIAO. ANYWAY, AS YOU SAID, YOUR SON WILL BEAT PACQUIAO EASILY AND PACQUIAO CAN’T FIGHT THE WAY MAIDANA FIGHT. GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO, FLOYD SR. DO IT.

  28. Nick says:

    Jenna, can you please ask Floyd to fight Manny? A hundred years from now, Floyd will only be remembered as the boxer who did not fight the 8 division champ fighter of the decade. What a waste if he thinks he can easily beat Manny. Go Floyd just get it on.

    Then fight Manny already, you scared little Chicken..

    I’m a fan of both Manny and Floyd….The main reason why I want to see the fight is to shut all the fucking Pinoys up so they go away and start worshipping someone else. Seriously worse than Amir Khan fans, an they are fucking bordering on insane, clearly Bi-Polar.

    Manny is a great man but he is not a great boxer. This is the word ‘Boxer’ Manny WAS a great puncher, WAS. Sadly those days are over.
    The main weapon Manny had was his power, any sane boxing fan knows that.
    Floyd has slowed down a lot in the past 5/6 years, but he still has his defence and enough speed of hand to out-box Manny.
    If Manny still had his KO power, Manny would have a huge chance to win, a clear 50/50 fight, but he doesn’t and we all know that, its a fact, you cant refute that.

    Lets say for instance Amir Khan for example, suddenly lost his had speed, what does he have to fall back on?
    Not a great deal except the bones of his arse when he sits that arse down on the canvas.

    What does Manny have to fall back on now he has no one punch KO power? – or at least solid power to get you going backwards and in panic mode?

    Tell me someone and I’ll agree that if you are right, Manny can still win the bout.

      seriously you wouldnt know until they both actually fight each other.

      ONLY the big difference, pacnuts want the fight to happen while floydiots are just having an ORGASM while trying to imagine that floyd school pacquiao.

      WTF we should clamor to make the fight a reality. these floyd fans, i dunno whats the problem with these FOOLS.

    FLOYD markets himself being UNDEFEATED.
    what will happen if he actually LOST.
    all that hype and circus all gone.
    yeah FLOYD will look like SHIT. hahaha

    i wouldnt be suprised if that happens, this fuckn COWARD GAY commits SUICIDE.

  34. OTENcio says:

    wow..do you really think floyd will outbox manny? You must be freakin idiot.
    floyd only throws 1-2 combinations and run and per round he’ll throw 30-40 punches.
    manny throws punches like 3-7 combinations and per round he could reach 70-90 punches.

    and you are telling us manny will get outboxed? keep on dreaming moron!

    stop sniffing grass so you won’t get delusional!
