I miss these days in boxing 🥊. The Mayweather vs Pacquiao competition era. They were competing against each other and it was intriguing and fun to watch.
@@oscar27ization they were gonna fight at a catch weight 144 Mayweather came in:146 Marquez came in:142 Therefore Mayweather had to pay Marquez 300k per round. Nonetheless Mayweather still did what he had to do that night.
I so love Floyd for that. He always gives thanks and glory to God for his victories. I wasn't surprised to hear from Floyd that he doesn't smoke, drink or do drugs. And he doesn't have a tattoo. Just a great champion. TBE as God has given him.
@@dando8091 Did you say that Floyd doesn't do drugs? Did he tell you that? I'll show you 2 videos showing him snorting dope in his dressing room just before 2 separate fights. If he couldn't take a double snort before a fight he couldn't fight. If he had to fight anywhere in the world other than Las Vegas, Floyd couldn't fight. He snorted dope before all of his fights. The Vegas commission is the only commission in the world that allows a fighter to freeze his hands with an injection before a fight. It's illegal world-wide because it's unfair and dangerous for the opponent. How do you suppose Floyd got them to make a special provision in that regard, a rule made specifically for Floyd and against the rules everywhere else in the world? That's why everyone says that Floyd bought and paid for the commission, the drug testing agency that hid 3 of his dirty tests, the referees and judges. Floyd even bought his own commentators to brag about him and lie about his opponent during his fights. Floyd even pays stooges to make fake comments in these fight commentary blogs. Floyd travels to other countries specifically for the purpose of going around the country trying to convince people that he's the GOAT. There are many more things his ignorant fans don't know.
gosh their relationship is AWESOME !!! Brian Kenny should have exclusive rights to ALL of Mayweathers interviews. he'd make just as much as Floyd, lol.
You clearly don't know much about boxing. First off, Cotto was with Top Rank promotions up until recently. Mayweather used to be signed to Top Rank and they had a falling out, Mayweather says Bob Arum owes him money. Top Rank doesn't like working with Mayweather promotions or Golden Boy(Oscar De La Hoya). Name the last BIG fight with a Top Rank Big Name and a Golden Boy Big Name. I'll wait...Cotto left top rank, Mayweather fought him. Plus Cotto was on a 3 TKO streak & avenged his 1st ever loss
BOXINGEGO Ego I’m a subscriber of yours you been the truth for a minute. You know these fools don’t know boxing bro. Casuals just repeat what they heard on ESPN.
arum wouldn't let cotto fight mayweather when they were younger, only after mayweather left top rank did arum start ssaying that mayweather was scared of him!!! mayweather would of beat him then too!!! for your statement on him fighting someone only when he has an advantage is not true( whoever he fights he's gonna have an advantage cause he's better) now if you would of said pacquiao does this i would agree and disagree because it's true pacquiao only fights people when he has an advantage but
In August of 2008, upon the 3rd announcement of Floyd Mayweather Jr's retirement last June 2008 here were the top 10 Welterweight ranking: Take note: On March 15, 2008 Manny Pacquiao fought J.M. Marquez at 130 lbs and in June 28, 2008 Pacquiao fought David Diaz at 135 lbs. 1,) Antonio Margarito (WBA) 2.) Miguel Cotto 3.) Paul Williams (WBO) 4.) Shane Mosley 5.) Joshua Clottey (IBF) 6.) Carlos Quintana 7.) Kermit Cintron 8.) Andre Berto (WBC) 9.) Luis Collazo 10.) Jackson Bonsu Remember that Pacquiao fought 4 out of the TOP 5 Welterweights during this August 2008 ranking. He fought Cotto, Clottey, Margarito and Mosley. Pacquiao is the smallest among all these welterweight fighters and started pro at 98 lbs and become a Lineal + WBC champion at 112 lbs. Pacquiao is fighting outside his comfort zones unlike Mayweather. Fact is all of Pacquiao's 8 division title championships were all held outside his country. While Mayweather Jr, announces retirements for several times. 1st was after the A. Gatti fight, 2nd was after the Dela Hoya fight (he refuse to rematch Dela Hoya), 3rd was June 2008 (after the Hatton fight), 4th was after A. Berto fight, 5th after the C. McGregor fight (an MMA fighter with ZERO Boxing record). For large portions of his illustrious career, Mayweather was a master of timing, both in and out of the ring. Despite his vast repertoire of skills, “Money” was a master at stacking the odds in his favour (It Means CAREFULLY SELECTED His Opponents) whether it meant dragging Ricky Hatton and Juan Manuel Marquez up to 147lbs (the MARQUEZ Fight was at 144 lbs Catch Weight BUT Mayweather weighed 146 lbs and paid $700, 000 fine) or telling Canelo Alvarez that he couldn’t weigh more than 152lbs CATCH WEIGHT despite the super-welter limit being 2lbs heavier (this was a WBC / WBA UNIFICATION fight). FACTS about Mayweather: 2008 = NO fight 2009 = 1 fight against a 135 lbs Marquez in a Catch Weight of 144 lbs BUT he weighed 146 and paid $700,000 penalty. 2010 = 1 fight 2011 = 1 fight (a SUCKER punch KO win against V. Ortiz). 2012 = 1 fight 2016 = NO fight 2017 = 1 fight against C. McGregor (an MMA fighter with ZERO Boxing record). 2019 = 1 Exhibition fight against a 21 yo, BANTAMWEIGHT, Kickboxer from Japan. 2021 = scheduled to fight against a RU-vidR. Additional FACTS about Mayweather: "Legacy won't feed your children, Currency does", says Mayweather Jr. "This fight with a RU-vidr is a Legalized Bank Robberies", says Mayweather Jr. "I'm a Scared Coward, am RICH Scared COWARD", says Floyd Mayweather Jr. Floyd announces retirements for FIVE (5) times, he's clearly avoiding fighters that threatens his career. He CAREFULLY Selected his opponents that would preserved his ZERO (0). FACTS: His 1st retirement announcement after the A. Gatti fight. 2nd retirement after the Dela Hoya fight (he declined to rematch Oscar). 3rd retirement after the R. Hatton fight (2 weeks before the Pacquiao vs Diaz fight). 4th retirement after the A. Berto fight. 5th retirement after the circus fight against an MMA with Zero boxing record McGregor. Take note: Floyd Jr during his post fight press conference against a Pokemon RU-vidr says once again that he's TBE, the best ever. While Pacquiao at 42 yo, is scheduled to fight on August 21, 2021 in Las Vegas, NV against the undefeated / unified WBC & IBF 147lbs champion E. Spence an eleven years younger. Spence is much bigger, heavier, taller, has longer reach. Spence Jr is the current # 1 Welterweight plus the # 5 best Pound for Pound in the ranking as of June 14, 2021. Important FACTs: Pacquiao started pro at 106 lbs, become the 'Lineal' champion at 112 lbs at age of 19 way back 1998. Moves up in bunch of weight classes, wins multiple titles including 'Lineal', then become the 'Lineal champion at 147 lbs by defeating Bradley way back 2016 at age of 37. Now at 42, he's fighting once again for the 'Lineal' 147 lbs title plus The Ring and WBA, WBC, IBF belts. Whoever reads this, may the Lord God in heaven bless you and your family 🙏😇 Pagpalain nawa kayo ng ating Panginoong Diyos 🙏 😇 Ang gugma ug kalinaw sa Ginoo maanaa ka ninyo 🙏 😇
@@YellowHaile how did he outland pacman? By running and punching the gloves i rewatch the fight 10x i didnt see how floyd won it was the gloves he was hitting, Pacman defeated him with one arm in his own game. Its just the biased çommentators and judges makes Floyd won.
i give it to mayweather even though i dont like him and his tell tell ass, he did this.....he did that......im better.........but the guy does back up the talk with the walk..........
@ZigZagRunner You are right but compubox lies very much, it scores elbow and arm shots too often. especially when castillo went much to the body a lot of the punches was blocked.
Time catches up with even the GOAT. He looks old now although he might just be enjoying his well earned retirement and let himself go a bit. The best of our era, and everyone knows it. Roy Jones before Floyd's era and Tyson before that.
I really wish there was someone that had the ability to make mayweather pick up his pace in his fights and go blow for blow, there has been no one to push floyd to his limit like how pacman forced marquez to his limit
@Moses Moses u dont know shit about boxing, I was talking bout late in his career when he was cherry picking, early in his career when he fought real contenders he’d go blow for blow, go watch his fight with Emanuel Augustus, n he’s not always the fastest, I can name over ten boxers he fought that were faster, the reason he looks fast is cause he has good timing, he knows when to counter n baits a lot so he knows when to dodge
maidana tried and he just went on the defense. It also made it easier for him to connect at over 50 percent. He is smarter than all those boxers and their coaches.
These guys are fighters man. No boxer would be afraid of another boxer. And when he beats Pacquiao everyone will just say he was to small like when Floyd beat up on Hatton.
47lionking after Floyd beat the shit out of gatti. Cotto didn't want to fight. Cotto was at the fight and the commentators spotted cotto in the crowd. And they said that after this beating cotto won't be so eager to get into the ring.
Floyd is a good interview. Funny. It's a two way street with him, he asks questions too. He is wrong to underestimate Pacquiao. Who is he, he deserves a bigger cut of the purse, Las Vegas has it 8-5 favor of Pacquiao.
@atlien991 Its not really simple. Its actually quite complicated. Particularly when one adds ego & hard done byness into the equation. I also note you used the word DODGES!! There you go...
Again, Mayweather's too big for Marquez, but not to big for Pacquao, but Manny and Marquez are the same size. GTFOH If he gets past Marquez, If he gets past Mosely, if he gets past Cotto. LOL
Mayweather was clearly the bigger man in the ring against Manny and Pacquiao still had him running and holding for dear life. Easy work for Pacquiao, much easier fight than Manny's fights with Cotto, Marquez, even Horn.
@@MrReav13 people still salty over the fight. Should have took all the test back in 2010 and things would have been better for Pac-man. Oh my shoulder....... but let me get this selfie in during my ring walk. LOL
My parents think i have problems 😂 bs ? It’s already out there he didn’t want to do the drug test Freddie roach said it was mannys fault I believe it’s bob arums fault as well “Mr. Mayweather did disclose the infusion to USADA in advance of the IV being administered to him," either way mayweather had the better career 😂
Splitzs even if the USADA administered the iv IT IS STILL ILLEGAL TO USE IT IN BOXING. This does not give mayweather the moral highground. I hate how dumbasses like you have been manipulated by mayweather to think he is a genius in the ring. If mayweather really had the good defense people credit him for he wouldnt need to run or clench in fights as much. If he reaaly was TBE he would have footwork as good as ali and reflexes as good as lomachenko. Mayweather does not have talent. He only has money and a fanbase filled with brainwashed rats like you.
@yassineboxing All right, he is a boxer though. He had to drop out of high school to box full time to try to support his family so he obviously has some gaps in his education. Don't try to knock him for that.
Floyd is a perfectionist..like some of you guys said he´s not scared of Manny but scared of losing. Manny always wanted to fight the best and isn´t afraid of losing..he has beaten De La hoya and Hatton much more impressive than Floyd. but Floyd has outclassed the only fighter Pacquiao had trouble with..Marquez. and outboxed him easily. Floyd has got soo much time to train and to recover...and he´s much more respect of Pac then Pac of him. He could beat Manny.
Pacman get more viewers than Mayweather? Sorry, that will never happen. Europe behind Pacman? Never! Europeans got the distance to accept that mayweather is the most skilled fighter and would never say Mayweathers fights are boring because he doesnt get his head smashed all the time.
I think Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum didn't want Mayweather vs Pacquiao to happen because he knows Mayweather will beat him. Pacquiao is used as promotion, promotion, promotion. If Pac gets beat, all the promotion shit goes down the shitter.
The judges beat Pacquiao .....but Mayweather loss to Pacquiao look at the replay Floyd landed only 69 punches Pacquiao landed 120 ........ Pacquiao is the winner.........
That’s how you put a rag inside the mouth of a commentator/interviewer! I wonder how many people got mad as hell when he said “Pacquiao has the worst deal in boxing! Bob Arum keeps 27% of his checks!”
Why would anyone get mad? You're an idiot like Floyd. None of us have anything to do with Floyd's money or Pacquiao's money. It has no meaning to any of us.
pac demanded the followin & MW AGREED:smaller gloves,smaller ring size,50/50split even though mw is the bigger draw accordin 2 ppv #'s,pac got his name 1st so it read "pacquiao vs mayweather,pac demanded mw not rehydrate after the weigh in & mw will hav 2 pay pac 10MIL$ 4 every lb mw weighs ova 147 at the weigh in & FIGHT NITE &mw agreed 2 all that but pac couldnt accept random blood testin up2 14 days of the fight & ppl say mw didnt want the fight
I'm w/ u sammbaldwin295, the man fights for dough, can you really BLAME him? Look at the shape of the former greats who fought for all the other reasons. Floyd wasnt given the position he's in, which is 'where EVERY1 else wants to be', he worked hard to get there and does take FULL advantage. plus he's a brilliant boxer defensive and offensive(when it's safe) lol
Whats funny is people hate Mayweather, they call him names, say he is a bad fighter, Pac will beat him, ect. All of these comments are opinions, BUT MAYWEATHER IS STILL UNDEFEATED AND THAT IS A FACT!! Everything else is just opinions.
He don't respect Floyd all Floyd talks about is money and Kenny knows that Floyds biggest pay day would be to fight Manny no matter what he says Brian Kenny can't stand that little arrogant prick
@@caseymckenzie144They refused to fight him before he was the cash cow, not thr other way around, fool. How the fuck dod Pacquiao decline when he still had more success after his loss to Mayweather. Make it make sense
"The returning champ" ????? Why Kenny changed his remarks on PBF he interviewed him before as the "FORMER POUND FOR POUND CHAMP"....maybe PBF requested this to take an interview....ha...ha.....
Cotto vs. Pacquiao will be a great fight. I know Cotto is coming to fight and Manny is always unpredictable.........I hope Mayweather fights Cotto in the future, Cotto will kick his ass
mayweather signed the contract & sent over 2 pac to sign & pac wouldnt sign it.my theory is bob arum never wanted pac 2 fight mw(at least not yet) cuz arum wants to get every penny out of pac be4 he fights mw cuz arum dont believe pac ca beat mw.mw called arums bluff by acceptin every1 of pac crazy demands especially the 1 that says mw cant rehydrate after the weigh in,wen floyd called arums bluff,arum used the drug testin as pacs way out of the fight.
@@ev8318 You're wrong but why would that be a surprise? The ingredients in the IV fluids is perfectly legal and even recommend by doctors for health reasons, the AMOUNT of a LEGAL substance he had COULD have masked something else in his system, no proof of any illegal substance. So get your facts right.
@@thetruth1822 Brotha, is best that we leave this alone because it is VERY obvious that you never bothered to learn the details of what happened which included the usage rules of the IV. Mayweather cheated and was able to have things swept under the rug because of the amount of money that was involved. It is what it is. note: I personally believe Pacquiao got paid under the table to refrain from pursuing any legal action.
@ZigZagRunner Yeah, but commentators are VERY bias sometimes. Ive seen many matches, related, and not related to Floyd where they are clearly talking as if they were watching a completely different match, but anyway in the end its all opinion, I feel that most people just want Floyd to lose so much, that when they see other fighters land punches, which is usually rare against Floyd, they feel like he should of lost.
he never said anything about fan base??? he's talkin about the numbers sold in ppv and at the gate, pac has a whole country behind him yes, but u have to look at the economy in that country aswell compared to the u.s.
Now this interview is very interesting cause he said or what it sounded like to me was "I'm not gonna fight Pac cause there's no money in it for me". Does that sound right coming from an undefeated champion? or does it sound like an excuse to dodge Pac?.
Thats a weak talking point that haters like to use. What is he really scared of? Like really. he cant be hit and thats been proven. Knock it off.@@jamescameron7633
@Paier i seen you been MIA for a while since the ink dried on that contract. How do you feel about floyd beating the breaks off shane a "fighter his size"????? get back at me? you did say he was scared to fight bigger opponents right? LMAO
@bigkckrva Pac man was dominating like floyd back in the day? when floyd was in the olympics manny wasnt doing nothing, when floyd was capturing titles manny was getting knocked out 2 twice, when floyd was moving up to 154 LMW Manny was getting out boxed by erik m & struggling with marquez two fights. part 1
da truth..... n Jinisinsane: mayweather said publically that he tried to fight mosley TWICE in the past and mosley wouldnt do it....its obvious mosley is just tryin to get a payday now n isnt what he WAS, so floyd aint havin it now.....floyd IS back to beat the BEST, we know his character by now n we know he doesnt dodge opponents.....we know floyd wants to BE the best, so hes obviously gonna want to BEAT the best...pac man is next, that is if pac mans bosses will let him fight
They have good chemistry...fan boys of mayweather and pacman get more worked up than these guys do...if Floyd didn’t like him he would tell them to get someone else to interview him
@Midnightrambler3760 Yeah. We know old Bob is a Harvard old school tie sort of guy, that can/has resorted to lyrical chicanery in the past & probably will again in the future.. BUT, and my point is: Mayweather is not him and should be discussed on his own personal basis. Dont compare him to anyone else, which is what YOU are doing. Listen to him again (if you can without TOTAL frustration!!) & we can debate when you have done this Sir..
I am a Amateur boxer and i follow boxing well and am a big fan of BJ penn my favorite MMA fighter... erm nah i disgaree with what u saying, BJ penn i think has the best hands in MMA but i think Mayweather's movement and defence wud puzzle BJ. and i think Mayweather wud out punch him so easly, so BJ wud take him to the ground.. but in a boxing match BJ wud not last at all.. both guys r my idols so am not just picking mayweather coz he my idol coz BJ is aswell.
