Jeff Mayweather: “Pacquiao’s a guy that’s in need of Floyd, Floyd don’t need him. The guy is $68 million in the red, with his taxes and the IRS.”

(by Robert Brown) Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time with former IBO Super Featherweight champion, “Jazzy” Jeff Mayweather. A variety of topics were discussed, which included, Bob Arum’s controversial comments about Floyd Mayweather and a potential Mayweather vs. Pacquiao bout. Jeff also discusses Freddie Roach’s controversial claims against Manny Pacquiao’s former strength and conditioning coach, Alex Ariza, and if he thinks this puts unwanted attention on Pacquiao’s past fights. Additionally Mayweather talks about Pacquiao’s tax debt and if he thinks Floyd owes him a fight. Here is what Jeff Mayweather had to say in part of 1 of this 2 part interview.

Robert Brown: What was the motivation behind Bob Arum’s extraordinary comments, in which he compared Floyd Mayweather Jr. to Adolf Hitler?

Jeff Mayweather: Well the one thing is this, Bob never made any money off Floyd because right at the time when Floyd was able to become a Pay-Per-View attraction, his contract was up. Of course, you have one of the best fighters in the world and you don’t make a dime off him, he’s got a lot of animosity towards Floyd.

So of course Bob’s gonna say anything he can to make him look bad, but at the end of the day, Floyd doesn’t owe Manny anything. Floyd tried to fight him twice already. He offered him to fight the first time and he refused to take the fight because he refused to take a blood test.

I guess everybody knows why he refused to take a blood test now, cause Freddie Roach basically just passing the buck to Ariza, since he got caught doing what he was doing with Brandon Rios, so they knew what he was doing anyway. Freddie’s way of getting around it is saying, “Oh yeah he was giving Manny drinks and Manny didn’t know what he was drinking.”

Okay, he didn’t know what he was drinking, but the thing is this, I can be working with someone for 40 years and they better not come up to me and give me something that I’ve never had before. I’m gonna ask him what it is, I need to know what it is I’m taking. I don’t care about the fact that we’ve been together these many years, but I’m not gonna just take anything from anyone.

Robert Brown: Do you think Freddie Roach, by making those allegations about Alex Ariza; threw Manny Pacquiao under the bus?

Jeff Mayweather: I don’t think he was trying to throw Manny under the bus. I think he was throwing Ariza under the bus because him and Ariza don’t get along at all. It’s one of those situations in which he was trying to make Ariza look bad but at the same time trying to make Manny look innocent.

Robert Brown: Do you think Freddie Roach by making those comments; cast more aspersions into Manny Pacquiao’s past?

Jeff Mayweather: I think so. Of course, probably not to Manny’s fans, but to anyone that isn’t a Manny fan, when you say, “This guy was so corrupt, I remember a long time ago back when he was giving Manny these drinks and he never told Manny what it was, and he would just drink them.”

Basically, Freddie really wasn’t thinking it through, but he was making it clear that Manny had no knowledge of what was going on, even though he basically said that Ariza is a dirty guy.

Okay here it is, they tested Brandon Rios six times. If they tested him six times, that’s because they already knew what he was doing. It don’t take no brain surgeon to figure that out. If you have to test a guy six times that you’re fighting, and the only reason you’re doing that is because Ariza is now working with him.

Not only that, but how dumb can Ariza be to know that he’s been with these guys and how they were gonna come at him so strongly with the testing for him to blatantly just go out and give the kid steroids, that’s crazy!

Robert Brown: Can you please give us your response to Bob Arum stating that the fight won’t happen because Floyd Mayweather is afraid to fight a quality southpaw?

Jeff Mayweather: Like I said, Bob is bitter, a guy that is bitter will say anything. Bob is the reason why the fight won’t happen, it hasn’t had anything to do with Manny personally. Floyd and Bob have an extremely bitter relationship and like I said, Floyd is his own promoter, Floyd calls his own shots, he’s not gonna allow Bob Arum to call shots for him.

Pacquiao’s a guy that’s in need of Floyd, Floyd don’t need him. The guy is $68 millions in the red, with his taxes and the IRS. He’s at the end of his career, so he ain’t never gonna be able to pay them.

Robert Brown: What has Amir Khan done at 147 lbs to deserve a shot against Floyd Mayweather?

Jeff Mayweather: Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Amir Khan deserves the fight either, I think he doesn’t deserve the fight. First of all he doesn’t have a title, so there’s no reason to even fight him. It’s not so much that Manny doesn’t deserve a fight, it’s like this, Manny was offered to fight twice and he refused it twice.

Now all of the sudden he owes $68 million to the IRS, of course Manny wants to fight. Manny goes out and says, “We’ll fight for free,” nobody is fighting for free. That’s just a sign of desperation cause nobody is gonna fight for free, and you can’t fight for free if you owe the IRS 68 million dollars, you can’t fight for free!

It was indeed a pleasure talking to Jeff Mayweather. Stay tuned for part 2 of this interview!

  1. Another excuse from the Mayweather camp. When Manny beats Bradley he will become the Welterweight champ. But Mayweather won’t still fight for the belt and we all know why… Pacman is hazardous to Floydies health and state of mind. LOL!

    1. You are right The view of gaywheather will speak to itself stating that he loves his health and he just smart and coward rich! Hahaha!!!
      Shame on you gaywheather!

    1. Right! Mayweathers are a bunch of cowards… Talks so much but don’t have the guts to back it up. Covers each other’s alibis. No Balls… The mayweathers!

  6. Jeff you’re an idiot, Pacquiao said fight for charity, does that mean that he want the fight to pay taxes? Mayweathers full of bulls.

  8. Jeffrey boy…look man. Manny Pacquiao has never tested positive ever in his whole boxing career so I don’t know why you’re running your mouth. Your nephew already paid Pacquiao a huge amount of money and was forced to write an apology letter for running his mouth without proof. If you don’t want to end up like your nephew I suggest you just stfu. Tell your boy to get in the ring with Pacquiao because we the boxing fans are demanding that fight. Otherwise retire because we don’t need boring fights in boxing. Always picking on someone Floyd can beat. Tsk tsk.

  9. Pacquiao must be a very powerful guy! Imagine owing the IRS $18M and being able to tell the IRS to take away the lien on his U.S. properties and travel to New York without being harrassed by IRS! Wow!
    If that waas Mayweather he probably would end up jailed for life just like Capone.

    1. You wonder why they let him in the country to fight w/out harassment? So he can pay the back-taxes? The IRS will get paid before Manny sees a nickel from the Apr 12 Bradley fight.

  11. Uncle Jeff same mouth same attitude, you guys are all KFC ( Kencocky Floyd Chicken ) all boxing fans should start to boycot all KFC fight because he was just after the MONEY not MANNY he he he just keep running and hiding DUCKERS

  13. really… how on earth did these mayweather stooges came up with this 68 million dollars figures?

    even manny himself never mentioned specific account specially in dollars.

  15. How the hell this guy said this comments.
    Pacman already challenged Floyd Jr. to make the fight happen for charity.

  16. Whatever the reason is for fighting,boxing fans don’t care at all.We only want that fight to push through no matter what duckerss!!!

  17. Hey asshole we are not talking about money here. Who owes more then the other you stupid pea brain. My God are all you Mayweather really the same? There is not anyone of you got any brains at all. You guys just keep tap toeing your way out of a fight. When Floyd had his issues with money did his opponents say. Oh well i dont need Floyd he owes the fucking IRS or his a fucken abuser!!!!! Stop the madness people. America is this the guy you want to represent you? The freaken only reason he has that freaken O is because he calls all the shots. And he calls himself the greatest? And all you brothas out there actually drink that kool aid. Fight the fucking small guy so you can get your ass whopped and then noone will ever have to hear your sorry ass you fucks! So we can all move on. You morrons think because he has a high number of PPV buys he is the greatest. BullSh#t!!!! I bought some of his fight just because I wanted to see that jerk get what he deserve and ass whoppin! I didnt buy it because im a fan and I know most bought for the same reason. The little man is calling you out brotha…… what you gonna do? Keep telling people you grew up in a hard knock life.yeah right Noone that grew up in a hard knock life backs down from a man calling you out. I ought to go find your ass and kick your ass for this filipino guy. Yeah that jail time really softened you up good Floyd.lol

  18. Jeff Mayweather is out of this world. Pacquiao is not up for money as he is challenging Floyd to fight for charity just to make the fight happen. Pacquiao is on top of the situation in settling his tax obligations.The Mayweathers really do not want Floyd to face Pacquiao for fear their boy will lose and stain his immaculate record. Time will tell who is the real champion and the history will tell..

    1. Manny has money to support his family ,an loves to help others.All Floyd has on his mind which is small is money. He can’t take it with him,what profit to man to gain the whole world an lose his sole .

  19. The boxing writers should stop interviewing the Mayweathers because what you get are only negative words not healthful to them although they are all immune to sour attacks.

  20. Why the hell of this Boxing Media still secreting this Mayweather”s shit…..they’re all liars and still they buy on it? If you talk to an IDIOT and still believe in them then you’re the most Idiot than them.And besides,whattahell this Floydie Jr. stops opening his mouth when asked by Pacquiao to fight him in charity…why his Apeman Uncle Jeff do the talking? to avoid more questioning?

  21. why cant he mention Charity! its not for free! its for charity! Charity as in to give to those who are in need. fighting for charity means there is no tax involved. or does it pay up your debts?

  23. Mr. Jeff Mayweather please take note that Mr. Pacquiao from the Philippines is offering a fight that neither him nor Mr. Floyd Mayweather will receive any single amount of money but instead the proceeds will benefit much needy people in the world. Do you think it makes sense?

  24. Mayweather camp is a lot of explain ,honestly u afraid to Manny paquiao if u are a true warriors why u are not fight to pacman.u are a big bullshit .time will come knock out will come in ur career .I swear land to hospital .remember u are a human only.

  26. Assuming you’re correct. Is that a good reason why Floyd should not fight him?
    Or, he’s just scared to fight Pac.

  27. That’s a lot of bull. The fight has nothing to do with Pacquiao on the red as far as his financial woe is concern. This is about two fighter who is the best in their division. Why can’t they just announce that floyd is hesitant to fight pacquiao because he is the only one who had a good chance to beat him. Come on all boxing writers, the reason is to shallow. For the sake of boxing you should help push for this fight to happen. Stop shielding mayweather and swallow such laughable excuses. Gosh, the whole mayweather camp is afraid of one man. Disgusting!

  28. yeah all boxing writer should stop talk and write about gayweather clan,they don’t know boxing. Sportwriter should first to shout floydcott let see what happen to these apes.

  29. let’s just wait for this guy to fall into a diabetic coma. Boxing fans around the world are clamouringnfor this fightnto happen and yet the mayweather dudes continue to pile up barricadesnto prevent the fight from happening. He said that manny was offered a fight twice but the the question is, were those offers designed to be declined by manny? 40milion flat fee and no ppv? i’d to say it was a ridiculous offer. drug testing? didnt manny agreed to those demands a long time ago? Legacy wise, your nephew will always be remembered as a ducker. nuff said.

  30. Gayweather family need to defend chikenfloydiot!coward jr has now çaught for running!no response pacquiao purse free in order to give fans .sure fans floydiot dosn’t want to fight coz he dosen’t want idol loose!al haymon/elerbe is the man who defend him but still quiet coz he knows boxing fans will attack them.the danger of being picking fighter is when u face a dangerous,sharp,hanspeed,that willing to die in the ring all you can do is run!keep talking..keep alibi!

  31. Just do the fuckin fight! so many words to say! Just Fight ! Pacman is waiting even without a Pay!

  32. Mayweather;s camp think they are smart, but actually they dont have brain. all their excuses are all nonsense ., Floyd is just afraid to lose his undefeated record.,He just wants to fight someone who is easy to beat to maintain his fake record to declare that he is the best.,Floyd is coward and coward boxer has no place in boxing,.its good for you to retire floyd,.you are nothing, what you want is your record, you dont want to give the fans what they want,just shut your mouth out.,

  33. Mayweather’s camp is load of B.S, jeff says no body will fight for free, well MANNY PACQUIAO WILL! He even ask to include it in the fight contract that not even a penny will be given to them if the fight did push through, but have we heard any thing from the Biggest clown on earth?nothing..
    Mayweather wont runout of excuses and alibis to avoid PACMAN cause he’s simply afraid of letting the “O” GO.. Its just really frustrating that the highest paid boxer is also the PUSSIEST fighter..

  34. The next will make comments is Roger Mayweather because FMSR and Jeff done their parts…,it’s a pattern.

    I retrieved on my previous comments against Floyd Mayweather Jr..He is the ONLY BLACK AMERICAN BOXERS that has white EGGS / BALLS that makes him rare and unique.Just imagine black skin with white EGGS / BALLS between the legs.Funny isn’t it.

    And what does it means HE IS A COWARD.What a shame.

  35. Pacquiao is the guy who’s looking to cement his legacy. Me thinks Mayweather Jr. should too. Cut the excuses and just do it people!

  39. Mayweather doenst need the 8th division world champ in Manny Pacquiao? Why he fought Victor Ortiz, Guerrero and now maidana/khan.. This guy is bullsh*t.. He is really freaking afraid of the Filipino southpaw, a little guy from flyweight division.. Is that what Americans calls the home of the brave? Common, press your athlete to fight with Manny.
    So much for the money (IRS) excuses issues…Manny is a billionare too (peso) in the phillipines, a politician, tv host, lots of commercials and businesses…

  43. Boycotting the rest of the frauds remaining fights is the most effective way to send a message to showtime that we fans are not gonna take these these bs anymore. Enough is enough, we pay them to entertain us, not to dupe us. We demand that ployed fight pacquiao or else, no ppv buys.

  46. More lame excuses and ducking from the ducky family what a crock of Crap. if not Paquiao fight GGG or Danny if you want to be the TBE or you already are “The Best Evader”

  47. Ok, Pacquaio was offered the fight twice and he turned them down. It doesn’t matter how many times the guy was offered and he turned them down. Now he is willing to take the challenge not for a bigger share of the money but for a lesser share of the pot. This fight will bring you in hundred of millions. This fight will define your legacy. Even though you don’t need the guy, but 100 million or 200 million for a single fight is not that bad? After all you all say you will school pacquiao in boxing. After all you said he is a has been. After all you said he got knocked out. Don’t you like to confirm that you can beat Pacquiao in the ring instead of you dreaming about it and portray in the minds of the public that you can beat this guy? There is no better gratification than actually doing it yourself that imagining.

    1. You are right.lets the fight to be in real so that its of there fans will know whos the eal champion is.

  48. For the sake of writing an article which no one cares about, this Robert Brown decides to interview another Mayweather. As if bringing a topic related to a COWARD Floydie isnt tiring enough, bringing in another loser (who is a Mayweather) just gets older and older. A COWARD Floydie who proclaims to be a tough kid from the hood where he grew up does not prove to me he is tough. Come on you morons (Mayweathers) put up or shut up already! The world could end tomorrow and you still haven’t fought what the boxing fans only care about to see happening. You just have to keep coming up with excuses after excuses. We’re sick of it. Just admit you are a COWARD from the hood and many of us fight fans will leave you alone. WE ARE TIRED of MAYWEATHER EXC– USES and acting tough behind the cameras and microphones. Or worst, behind writers such as this writer. Let’s make this FIGHT happen already will you please Mayweathers? Too much TALK and ZERO actions. Come on dudes!

  49. Come on Floydie brotha. Come on Jeff Mayweather brotha! Come on Floyd Sr. brotha! Come on Roger Mayweather brotha! What are you guys trying to imply to the boxing world? That Floyd is the greatest? Then tell Floyd to stop promoting himself and stop calling his own shots so he can hand pick who he wants to bully and put them in his trap. Come on you brothas! Prove that you guys don’t back down form any challenges. Come on you stooges! Come on make that fight happen already will ya!! You guys call yourself tough guys from the hood? Come on stop with the talk. Stop avoiding this fight please you morons!! Make it happen now, soon, not later nor never!! Come on BIG mouths from the hood come on!!

  51. Its funny that these f*ckers never stops talking about Pacquiao, while Pacquiao doesn’t even mention their name if not asked about.

  52. Who the fuck cares if Manny needs Floyd or not? The fans needs it. Shut the hell up Jeff. We don’t need your opinion.

  57. Hey Jeff, how about a charity fight, pacman said he wants to fight your nephew to a charity fight, he doesn’t mind about the money because pacman itself wasi a millionaire too, do you mayweather understand the logic, or Floyd and the family are scared to pacquiao? Okay chicken just think about it fight fight fight pacquiao because the whole world know you are really scared….

  58. WOW! Instead of making this fight happen as for the overwhelming public demand. This guy is helping his nephew avoid it unbelievable. Mayweather Family + Floyd Fans = EXC– USES!
