Johnson who faces IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud this Saturday night in St. Louis (HBO 10 PM, ET/PT), spoke out on tons of topics, including his thoughts on the Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Manny Pacquiao fight that everyone want to see.
if it was an affront to his sensibilities as a blue-collar boxer that the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd
Mayweather- a lucrative match-up where both individuals stood to clear at least $35 million each- could not be consummated.
On the Radio Program, Kim asked Johnson, if it was “an affront to his sensibilities as a blue-collar boxer that the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather- a lucrative match-up where both individuals stood to clear at least $35 million each- could not be consummated.”
Johnson with a chuckle, answered: “Yeah, certainly; I shake my head. But I don?t think it?s Pacquiao or Mayweather; I think it?s more Mayweather than anything else. I mean, Mayweather is a privileged guy; he don?t really have to fight for that money because he can fight a guy he knows he can beat for $20 million. He can fight two of those guys and still make that $40 million that we would like to see him make in that one fight.”
