In the history of the sport, there has never been a potential fight talked about more than Mayweather-Pacquiao, but even with all the discussion, we are no closer to it now than we were five years ago. In part 2 of my “On The Ropes” special interview with Floyd Mayweather Sr, we discuss the future options for his son, and when he thinks we might see a Manny Pacquiao fight. Senior also speaks on what approach he thinks his son would take in a Pacquiao fight. Additionally Floyd talks about his new champion Mickey Bey, and also getting recognition for his efforts as a trainer. Here is what Floyd Mayweather Sr. had to say.
Jenna J: The biggest question right now is who the next opponent is gonna be for your son. What do you want to see?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: Well as I’ve mentioned to you before, Amir Khan would be a good fight. Being that he’s talking so much, running his mouth so much, and he once beat Maidana but they say he barely beat Maidana. I think Floyd will outsmart him, I don’t care what shape he gets in or whatever.
When I tell you about the fight, it will pretty much be the way I tell you. Those people don’t know nothing about what Floyd’s doing. Floyd’s working with his brain, not with his body. Amir Khan, he’ll be the next one I want to see get his butt whooped.
Jenna J: If it’s not Amir Khan, you know that everyone still wants to see the Pacquiao fight. Do you think if Pacquiao wins his next fight, that Floyd might consider that for May?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I’m gonna be honest, as they usually say, you save the best for last. I ain’t saying that Pacquiao won’t get it, but he might not get it just this time around, maybe the next time.
Jenna J: So you think Floyd will fight someone like Khan in May but save his last fight for a Pacquiao fight?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: Maybe. That sounds pretty right.
Jenna J: Being that your son fought with a more hit and not get hit style in his last fight, do you think if he fights Pacquiao that he’ll fight the same way?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I’m gonna tell you right now, Floyd is not gonna run from no Pacquiao, he’s not gonna run from no Pacquiao. Pacquiao will get beat the hell up, that’s what’s gonna happen. I’m just saying, he can be stronger but Floyd’s not gonna run from no Pacquiao. He might move every now and then a little bit, but overall it ain’t gonna be all this dancing and stuff with Pacquiao. No, I don’t see that.
Jenna J: So you think he would stay in there more and trade with Pacquiao?
Floyd Mayweather Jr: Well being that he’s smarter and slicker and more clever, I think that he would do all that and make Pacquiao miss everything pretty much. I think Pacquiao and Floyd is a one sided fight.
Jenna J: Pacquiao actually criticized your son in the press because Floyd said that some of the aspects of the All Access show were staged. Pacquiao made a comment to Floyd about that, saying that Floyd wasn’t an authentic person. What do you make of that?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: Look here, Pacquiao right now needs a payday and that’s the end of story. He needs a payday, that’s it. If he gets that payday, he has to do what he has to do, you have bills you have to pay. That’s where he’s stuck at right now.
Jenna J: Do you think he’s saying stuff in the press to try to get a fight with your son?
Floyd Mayweather Jr: He can get a fight with Floyd right now, yes. Ain’t nobody saying anything right now to get what they want, but guess what? At the end of the day, it ain’t that way, they gotta do what Floyd says right now. It’s Floyd’s way or no way, that’s just the way it is. Like Floyd would tell him, “It’s my way or the highway, and no other way.” That would be my son’s words.
Jenna J: You think your son is gonna make Pacquiao wait a little longer before they make that fight?
Floyd Mayweather Jr: Let me tell you something, there’s no bullshit, there’s no bragging, but right now Floyd is the captain of boxing, period. There ain’t no doubt about it. Don’t get me wrong when say things, little Floyd is a bit aged, he’s reaching nearly the forty mark, he’s close. But I’m still here to tell you right now, he still has enough knowledge and stamina to beat all these bums.
Jenna J: When it comes to the future of your son, do you think he will fight beyond the two fights left in his contract? Do you think he will go on to be 50-0?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I think that would be a mark that he’s gonna want to do but the way it is right now, I would tell him, “You need to take a couple of easy fight because you’ve been fighting hard for a long time. You need to take a couple of easy fights, then fight the big guy.” That’s what I think.
Jenna J: I actually want to turn things to yourself because now you have another champion under your wing. You recently trained Mickey Bey and he took a title from Miguel Vasquez. How do you feel now that you have another champion?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I feel great. I’ve been out here making these champions. In this gym right here, I’m the only one that I know that’s made champions. I don’t know nobody that’s made champions in that gym. Roger was training Floyd, but I made Floyd champion and Floyd has never lost after I made him champion. That was my work.
I’m just saying, nobody could beat Floyd anyway, that’s why he’s still where he’s at, because I trained him when he was a baby till where he is right now today. That’s why I’m here running things. I’ve been here for about fifteen years and every two years I’ve made a champion. I’ve made at least eight champions since I’ve been here. I fought with De La Hoya, Steve Forbes, Floyd, Chad Dawson, Mickey Bey, hey that’s all of them.
Jenna J: You’ve done great this year. Do you think this is finally the year where you get the recognition you deserve and you get the trainer of the year award?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: If they give it to me it’s okay, if they don’t it’s alright. I’ve made all these champions around me but they’re probably gonna give it to Freddie Roach but I don’t give a damn about that. I know what I’ve done and I know that Pacquiao can’t whoop Floyd, I know that. I’m telling you, it ain’t too much to say about the game, the game is damn near over.
What a comedy.
What a comedy. All these years. Now you’re saying manny is the best so he is the last. You just ate your balls that you are hiding for many years.
Come on Jenna,
Have a little integrity, confront this Moron once in a while. I get it, if you rock the boat he won’t talk to you any more. But don’t you have an obligation to call him out on his pathetic BS once in a while. The question you should have asked him is regarding his sons threat to fire him if he makes any more Pacquiao fight gonna happen comments. His son is obviously terrified to fight Pacquiao and that’s why he belittles him like a third grader on the school yard. The mere suggestion that Floyd will stand and trade with Pacquiao is ludicrous. Floyd will get KTFO within 3 rounds. If he wants to win that fight he’s gonna have to run and counter. You know and I know and everyone else on the planet knows it. Why not call him out on it.
Floyd Jr will committ suicide if you force him to fight Pacquiao. Even with 1 Billion dollars price money on the table Floyd will not fight because of FEAR
when it comes to fighting Pacquiao the whole Mayweather clan has a lot of alibi not to face Pacquiao. When fighting other boxers, the Mayweathers do not see a single reason not to face that boxer. But the truth is there is only one real reason why Floydie Jr will not square off with Pacquiao: he is scared to death to face him on top of the ring. Pacquiao has the speed, power, stamina and most importantly Pacquiao can throw KO punched at different angles which Floydie Jr will have a hard time avoiding. Bye bye “0”!!!! if the fight pushes through!!!
Very good comment that floyd will commet suicide later once he cannot control of his fear to force pacman to fight him. My observation for this moron monkey is really a coward. That is the mistake of his gorilla father why he did’nt circumcise his jr. and that is the fact of cowardness. Shit what a shame, his dick are full of salt n very foul smell
full of nonsense talk from nonsense people.
Hahaha, you’re wasting so much time interviewing from this joke and coward Gayweathers, you only gets non-sense. Get a life!
The real big question is, Why is Jenna J. keep interviewing a drug pusher. Why is she utilizing infamous people to get her article read. Is she really that desperate?
Old Idiot moron Predator, everyone knows your son is the the greatest first ever Coward black american fighter,He duck and run the best fighter of his time, your son is a woman beater he is a GAY, People of america Must Disown Your Family as a American Citizen,
I ALWAYS LAUGHT WHEN MAYWEATHERS FAMILY TALKING NONSENSE AND CLOWNY ALIBIES..WHOA WHAT A JOKE AGAIN AND SO …………………………………
so what is this now, pops? which is which?

Since ur son floyd is an “A” level fighter, then there is no point making the fight with Manny. Floyd should continue fighting “A” level fighters like Maidana. With all the bashing and threat floyd is making against Mannyl, it means there wont be any fight between the two in the near future. If Manny will finally decide to fight floyd, it would because of Bob’s pesuasion but i believe Manny will not desire to fight floyd because of the insults he received. I know this feeling cuz i’m a Filipino, this is how a Filipino psyche works when u hurt his pride.
LOL! I thought Floyd Jr has already kicked the ass of this useless moron out from the Money Team? OLd Floyd must be out of his mind telling the World that his coward Son would fight Manny? This man here is a joke! Floyd Jr is a coward! The whole world knows this idiot will never fight Pacquiao! Floyd is going to trade agaisnt Pacquiao? oh Manny will knock him out! Old Floyd is a fuckin’ idiot! I do hope Gayfloyd will never pick Pacquiao as his next opponent because Floyd’s RUNNING AND CLINCHING will never outpower Pacquiao!
TBE??? LEAVE HIM ALONE COZ HE’S GOT SOME ISSUES TO DEAL WITH.
Yes, Jenna, why don’t you ask him why Floyd freaked out about his comment earlier? Do what Stephen A. Smith did. If Floyd fights Amir, he is avoiding Manny.
Floydie Jr fights other boxers just to avoid a match with Pacquiao. The Mayweathers have one-thousand -and-one crazy alibi to run away from a fight with Pacquiao. They are a disgrace to the sports of boxing in and out of the ring!!! My unsolicited advice is for Floydie Jr to retire and avoid fighting Pacquiao and let us see if he can live with the fact that a lot of boxing fans and great world boxing champions believe he is scared of Pacquiao, the Boxer of the Decade (definitely, not Floydie jr.)
Mayweather jr is totally disparate.always trying to talk by no means,pacquiao is a whole nightmare to your cherry picker career in boxing! The more you talk much the more coward you are!
God bless Floyd SR even as a liar, what have you done with Ricky Hatton as trainer, you simply disappeared when he lost to Pacquiao…
TBE ??? LEAVE HIM ALONE! HE’S GOT SOME ISSUES TO DEAL WITH.
I do hope this not just another grand standing act on Floyd’s part. With the mediocre PPVs that
the TMT is generating ,they are just trying to get some leverage so as to promote their next (non-Pacquiao) fight.. Manny is still has a bout to deal with in November. A loss by Manny will only be a welcome scenario for Floyd so as to make another excuse to add to his never ending list of excuses.
But again, for now, there is still some mileage left. on the Pacquiao brand … so Floyd is trying to boost his next PPV performance…
What do you mean Floyd will not run from pacquiao? The question is, when will Floyd stop running away from pacquiao?
JailWeather Jr. will stick & move and box & weave….. And those are OK.
But if ref allows Jail Jr to ‘GRAB & HOLD’ excessively like ref Kenny BrainLess did vs. Maidana then Pookquiao has no chance
LOL!
Trashtalk is the only way mayweathers can defeat Pacquiao because they know they can’t beat him in the ring. Pacquiao is so soft spoken, so cool and calm on saying anything against the mayweathers. But certainly Pacquiao speaks and talks only in the ring that can really hurt the mayweathers so badly.
At least you may try dragging your son jr first into the ring with the Pacman before we can all agree to that.
All the Mayweathers try to do against the Pacman is just hid behind social media to rabbit punch him from thousand miles away instead of fighting him inside the ring mano a mano. Just too cowardly strategy from a guy who claimed he is the TBE– The Best Evader…
One thing sure though is goin to happen to mayweather soon again is ending up in jail for the many disturbing things goin on his mind about Pacquiao ,his promotional outfit, his PPV ratings ,his love life insecurities and the pressures from the boxings fans to fight Pacquiao, his temper tantrums will be out of control and end up in jail again…isn’t that another good excuse to run away from the mega fight?
How can gorilla sr. say that his monkey son will beat pacman. In starting only, pacman is already murdered by his son monkey. Even in negotiation he cannot settle because his son is soooo i mean zoo scared to pacman!!!!your IYOT floyd sr. an jr. IYOT means fuck your ass of your son.
Mayweather: “Post whatever you want about me, I can’t read it anyway. Bwahahaha!”
Jenna, your show is a mayweather mouthpiece!
an you suck Mayweather’s mouthpiece motherfucker
Pacquaio would get run over by the money man
How can gorilla sr. say that his monkey son will beat pacman. In starting only, pacman is already murdered by his son monkey. Even in negotiation he cannot settle because his son is soooo i mean zoo scared to pacman!!!!your IYOT floyd sr. an jr. IYOT means fuck your ass of your son.
Floyd i advise you to fight pacman because alex ariza is in your team. No reason that u scared pacman because the PED is transfer from alex ariza to your body. Dont say you are not drug user because in your show in showtime you are smoking marijuana. That’s my opinion why you dont fight in other country like macau or in middle east? If im not wrong its another shocking story if you caught a drug in china. Im sure you get lethal injection. For me, floyd became a moron because of drugs
Pacquiao. I mean fuckyou floyd
Floyd is BAYOT i mean IDIOT!!! BAYOT means gay. Money means monkey. Floyd means monkey business.
Floyd is zoo put. Supot means not circumcise. That’s why floyd must be put in the zoo because all gorilla is family of floyd are all SUPOT i mean zoo put. Did you understand moron?
Floyd must be join in laugh for gags. GAGS means GAGO. Gago means crazy. Floyd is crazy. Let’s say if floyd will not be crazy someday. Somebody will torture his mind until he shout FIGHT ME PAKYAW!!! I mean pacquiao.
Floyd sr. n jr. i am an expert than a doctor. You need not so much money if you hired me to cut your foreskin. Come on men. I know you can guarantee to all your fans that ur jr. will finally fight pacman because of both of you are not circumcise and that is the impediment why you scared pacman.
Floyd jr will run away of pacman in the ring once he saw manny bringing knife and guava leaves to circumcise floyd
