Manny Pacquiao is less than 2 week away from returning to the boxing ring. His fight against Brandon Rios will be his first bout since the devastating knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez, and everyone is interested in seeing how he looks when he gets back in there.
In part 2 of my exclusive “On The Ropes” interview with trainer Roger Mayweather, I get this thoughts on Pacquiao’s upcoming fight and how he expects him to return following the KO defeat. Roger also talks in detail on why he believes Marquez was able to pull off such a stunning result and he gives his views on how a fifth bout between the two would play out. Additionally Roger discusses a potential Mayweather-Pacquiao bout and if he thinks fans are still interested in seeing it. Here is what Roger Mayweather had to say.
Jenna J: Roger, you watch the boxing scene, you know boxing better than most guys out in the sport and I wanna get your views on this aspect, you know how styles meet each other in the ring. Pacquiao is coming back against Brandon Rios, do you think he’s in any risk at all in that fight?
Roger Mayweather: To be honest I don’t even know Brandon Rios. I hear his name all the time, there’s a lot of fighters that I hear about them but I’ve never seen them fight before.
Jenna: Let me tell you what style Brandon Rios has, he’s a pressure guy, comes forward and he can take a hell of a beating in the ring, he can take a lot of punches.
Mayweather: Well I’m saying if he’s the one guy that can take an ass whooping then that’s the one for Pacquiao.
Jenna: Do you think Manny Pacquiao can come back after such a devastating KO, the one he had against Marquez, do you think he can ever be elite again?
Mayweather: Well I mean, if he gets through this fight right here with Brandon Rios, then I believe he can come back, but I’ll tell you one thing, he ain’t gonna fight Floyd, I know that. He ain’t gonna fight Floyd, motherfucker, if he wanted to fight Floyd he could have fought Floyd a long time ago, before he got his ass whooped by Marquez. Why he ain’t fought Floyd then? Why?
Jenna: Well do you think he would be more willing for the fight now, being the fact that his stock went down a little bit with the KO loss?
Mayweather: I don’t think even though his stock went down, I don’t think he’s gonna fight Floyd. I don’t think so, even though everybody is doing all this talking, Pacquiao this and Pacquaio that. Pacquiao wasn’t shit anyway, so I don’t know what they’re talking about.
Marquez whooped his ass, and when Marquez didn’t whoop his ass, they fought three motherfucking close fights anyways! It wasn’t like he was dominant over Marquez, the fights were close. They fought four times and the first were close, the last time he got knocked out. I know why he got knocked out though.
Jenna: Why did he get knocked out?
Mayweather: Cause he had that shit that Pacquiao used to take. That shit that Pacquiao used to take, that’s what Marquez had in him, and that’s why he beat his ass. You know that don’t you?
Jenna: You think because he works with Angel Heredia?
Mayweather: Hey, Marquez took that shit that Pacquiao be taking. He just pumped himself up with a little more juice and knocked his motherfucking ass out. If they fight again, I guarantee you, them motherfuckers gonna be so doped up, it’s gonna be unreal. You believe me?
Jenna: Well Marquez lost his last fight against Timothy Bradley and he had extensive drug testing.
Mayweather: I know that, but that was a pretty decent fight even thought he lost. That’s a guy(Bradley) my nephew should beat, cause he’ll beat his ass easy too.
Jenna: I spoke with your brother Floyd Sr, and he said that he thinks a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight should happen now, and he thinks it could. You don’t agree with him?
Mayweather: It ain’t gonna happen, I don’t think it’s going to happen. I don’t know what the fuck he’s talking about. Pacquiao just got his ass knocked out by Marquez, number one. Who is going to say that Pacquiao can whoop Floyd, what people are going to say that?
They may watch it for the beating his ass would get, but as far as for the fight itself, as far as viewers, I don’t think they will be watching it for the fight, I think they will be watching to see what Floyd does to his ass. I don’t think they will be watching the fight cause they think he has a chance to win. I don’t think they are going to do that.
I think people will watch the fight because people think the fight should of happened a long time ago and the fight never happened, and since the fight never happened, people are going to look at it to see “Well it took so long for the fight to happen, so lets just see what happens now.” So people will look for it for that, not so much cause what the fuck he does.
Jenna: So you don’t think people will watch thinking he will win, they will see it just because it was talked about?
Mayweather: Anyone watching the fight with him is watching just to see if that motherfucker can even fight! Can he even fight anymore, can he fight? That’s why people are going to see it.
Jenna: Do you still think that is the biggest fight that can be made for your nephew?
Mayweather: Pacquiao fight, I still think it’s going to be big, only cause he got some wins over some dudes, I mean he beat some elite fighters, so I mean he still got a name that shows that he can fight a little bit, at the same time we got to see what he is up against.
Jenna: If that fight were to happen, do you think Pacquiao would agree to drug testing thing time?
Mayweather: Well I hope so, I hope he thinks about it and has some confidence about it, because that makes the fight more interesting. If he don’t talk about it, people are just going to say he’s going to get his ass whooped, and he’s just fighting for some money.
is Roger “high”?
yes
hes always high, thats why he talks total crap a lot of the time lol
what the fuck are you saying roger gayweather you need an rehabilitation
not only high, i think he’s an addict because everytime he speaks he always say bad words, and it is because he is an uneducated man.. His thoughts are undeniably irrelevant and one sided.. Ms. Jenny please stop interview on senseless people like people
No! Roger is not high! He is a pretender!
the apeman talking shit again..n….again
Its really funny reading your article. it’s as if that you don:t know anything about the situation in boxing especially when you asked if pac is going to take the test now (as a writer you should have known that pac and rios is taking the vada test that is more stringent than the floyd’s usada test).with regards to roger and the rest of the mayweathers its unbelievable how they blamed pac for the fight not happening before. Just search the internet and it will shows articles blaming mayweathers more than pac.
yes you were 100% right all the world knows what was really the reason why Pac-Floyd fight never happen…as a fan of boxing its obvious they just keep on avoiding Pacman in the first place…
you’re so correct…
you’re so ignorant about journalism
media is expected to tell the truth about their stories..otherwise, they lose their credibility.
yes john. liars always say it the other way around – to avoid the blame and scrutiny of the public. they all know that fraud jr is afraid of manny. what a liar mayweather family!!!
yah you’re fight, gayweather afraid to fight pac before, maybe even now…. heehe
This roger mayweader think he knows it all.. Accusing pac of not wanting to fight floyd is a whole lie when he knew that its floyd whos realy damn afraid of pac.. After pac destroy rios, pretty sure that floyd will surely rush to pick another easy fight (Khan) to avoid a fight with pac, still the same story over and over.
Floyd saw how Manny fights… Floyd is an intellegent fighter…
Floyd can easily analyze a fighter’s style… Now, he analyzed
Manny’s style for years now…
I believed that after a careful analysis, Floyd has not found a
solution to Manny’s style…
Question is, if you are Floyd who has a record of 0 loose, would
you gamble against Pacquiao? An Intellegent person knows how
to avoid risks…. To me, Manny is the greatest fighter ever lives!
He is a true fighter in and outside the ring… I believed he will KO
Floyd! because God is in him!
this ungly motherefucker goes round and round saying that his niecet and pac fight won’t happen but in the end he sounded otherwise.. now who would believe this stupid ugly monkey
the mayweather family themselves and their arrogant followers!!!
Fuck you :::::::”””Gayweather
I remember back in 2010 or 2011, Floyd called Pac on the phone and ask to get it on (fight). Pac wanted 50/50 including PPV earnings and live gates. But Floyd wants 70/30 and no PPV, no live gates earning for Pac. Not to mention USDA random drug testing on both of them.
ESPN didn’t put the real issue regarding purse, PPV, live gate earnings.

i am sick of what the Mayweathers’ are always telling that Floyd Jr. will beat Manny Pacquiao but he won’t fight him. Everytime Pacquiao will agree to the conditions/demands of Floyd Jr., he will make new condition. He is just afraid of losing to Pacquiao…Comm’on Mayweathers…just admit that you won’t fight Pacquiao and you’re ducking him always! You’re a sissy little Floyd!!!
Pacquiao willnever beat floyd Jr…
Why? Because Floyd will never attemp to
fight Pacquiao…
Floyd has never fought a boxer who throws a
combo of from 5 to 8 punches in 3 seconds
time from different angles…

Hope this guy gets sued and pays a hefty sum
Roger Mayweather’s comments are all so stupidly funny! That’s all I can say.
all i thought mayweather is a black man…now i proved one thing…that by avoiding pacquiao he’s got a pair of white balls between his legs just like his stupid uncle..
fuck you roger..all of you gayweathers family…shout your mouth nigga!!!
Mayweather< Jr was asking for the moon, the reason the fight did not push through, and Floyd Jr. seems afraid of Pacquiao because of the latter style. Floyd style cannot match that of Pacquiao. Let the fight be made real, and we will find out.
Ngek, monkey wd 2 white balls, just lyk the story of monkey and turtle, the fist one is greedy and envious.
bobobobooooooooo jenna j like gayweather family
Your an idiot Roger… Does anyone really take this dude seriously??it seems like Roger is the one on dope… Lol
Just go and ask 50 cents and he’ll reveal all about fraud jr. avoiding the fight w/ pac.
Roger you wonder why why???? your an idiot !!! you know the answer your family is a chicken fucker.
Remember how the duck mayweather sued by pacquao.. for defamation …floyd paid a hefty sum of money for settlement case and he lose that case… including roger mayweather and floyd sr. …..who never ceases accusing pacquiao of taking drugs….they still dont want to fight pacquaio …. if floyd the duck can beat easily pacquaio why not fight him….
Roger Mayweather doesn’t talk like a rational mature person. I dont know is he’s just trying to convince himself of what he’s talking about or plain dumb and unrealistic.
Roger, still smoking that crack pipe!
Of course he’s going to say his nephew won’t fight Pacquiao, its because he doesn’t want his nephew to fight Pacquiao. Pacquiao is a dangerous fighter for floyd to fight. The highest risk fighter he will ever face. That is the only reason, THE ONLY REASON why he would not like his nephew to fight Pacquiao.
He says that his nephew would give Pacquiao a beating? I have yet to see Floyd give anyone a beating outside a full 12 round decision. You can’t give a beating to a fighter if you run around the ring making the other fighter chase you taking pot shots every now and then. Shoulder roll my ass.
Typical Mayweather scheme to kill the fight! Notice they keep telling the public that the fight is not worth watching even without a doubt it would break records in PPV sales!
Boxing is not about assupmtions, its all about proving yourself in the ring!
Styles make fights and a boxer againts a brawler is a perfect combo!
If you put 2 boxers in the ring the that would make a boring fight! Lol!
Didn’t Floyd mention not too long ago that Pacquiao needs to sign with TMT promotion for their fight to happen?. Yet another hurdle for Manny to jump. Whats next, Manny has to train in Mayweathers gym with a coach selected by Floyd…why not?…Bottom line here folks is the Mayweathers dont want a pice of Pacquiao…regardless if he’s damaged goods or not or an easy fight he is for Floyd.
They know that with Manny’s style, he has the best chance of beating Floyd. Without boxing…theMayweathers are insignificant…no one will pay attention to them…they’l go back back to what they are good at…running their moth husstling simple minded people and selling crack.
The Maywethers mentality is simple and as ignorant as their fan boys, if you ain a Mayweather or trained by one of them….you aint shit. If you aint an American…you aint shit…To them, boxing is an American sport and only American who train under the Mayweathers are best boxers in the planet.
And most American sport media would agree to that.
i don’t get why floyd pick amir khan instead of choosing pacquioa i think gayweahter is scared of what danger possess by pacquioa
Unbelievable… you dont know who rios is? havent seen him?before you conduct an interview dont you do any research first?you shouldnt do interviews about boxing if you dont know boxers.. first of all you know exactly why pac and money did not fight.. you should have cornered roger mayweather by asking the right questions. your talking to roger like you dont have any clue on what happend.. like your scared of getting roger mad about your questions.. my goodness… have more balls in asking questions, or in doing your interviews..
Typical Mayweather comments. They like this kinda stuff . Part propaganda and all lies. See what they said about Canelo wanting the fish at a catch weight to favor Floyd? Then saying it was canelo’s management who wanted it?? I’m telling you these characters are so sinister , you can just imagine the lengths they would go through to ruin anyone. Accusing the guy of using PEDs, getting sued, then settles out of court. Enough of the accusations, you idiots had a chance to prove these in court but you backed out and settled. Just cuz you don’t want to fight pacquiao until you think he’s shot doesn’t give you the right to talk shit about anyone’s reputation.
I love listening to Roger because he is funny as I don’t know what. I must admit I would like to see a May-Pac fight but like Roger said to his point. Can pacquiao still fight? That is the question. Fighting Rio’s isn’t going to make it so for Manny pacquiao. He will need to get in that ring with Bradley again an this time knock him out or look good for me and most of the (US) fans to see he still can fight. But if he can’t and he looks bad again? Then of course a major fight with the p4p king isn’t going to happen. Of course if Bradley looks good fighting Pacman and even KO him too. Of course Bradley won’t make the same mistake as pacquiao an sign with Top Rank again again and go after the Big Money Mayday.
what the fuck are you saying you old grasp monkey… are you out of your mind or you take a drugs just by saying it.
if the fight happen it will happen… no more excuses or demands… if floyd will easily beat pacquioa why silly floyd don’t figth pacquioa the answer would be in the ring…
\
crack make you stupid….
Enough drugs on that man
Roger keep exposing his black ass every time he open his sticky mouth.
Roger still believes Filipino soldiers used Peds. What a crap he should join Oscar to rehab..
Roger do your best to help Floyd fight Manny. If Floyd is really a champion, he should not be makinng many excuses of not fighting Manny. If he thinks he is great in boxing let him show to world that he can defeat Manny in the ring. Prove to the world his worth as a boxer and a good fighter. If you are choosing your opponent and you win that’s not honorable. That won’t prove you to be undefeated champion if you duck somebody like Manny. Be a MAN and fight like a MAN!
What is new with these cracked head Gayweathers?! Floyd always care about money. He always rob the paying fans by fighting cowardly. Just contented by winning on points, always boring. I suggest that Roger, Floyd Jr. and Floyd Sr. undergone major brain overhaul.
Nice read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing some research on that. And he just bought me lunch as I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

a reply may take months and I have turned down numerous job opitpounrties in hopes that something will happen. I am almost 25 so I feel like time is running out too and its extremely frusterating nothing can be done. Cant MEPS do their own evalutation on my arm to find out if it is ok or cant they ask me to go see a doctor to be checked? Because if these records are gone with the wind I dont know what is going to happen.
WOW! I have made a rap before about school so I have some experience but I don’t quite understand the rules. Why are there already voices in the song? Sigh. I wish I could enter. I guess i will just have to find a new contest.
