“If that gives you problems, they shouldn’t even think about fighting Floyd at all…Bob is caught in a pickle. Bob has to make a realistic decision. Do we still try to maximize the earnings off of Manny, because he’s already been exposed to the point where, realistically to most people, the fight is already gone. Nobody thinks that Manny has a chance against Floyd other than the PacManiacs, and that really don’t mean nothing. But to the true boxing fan, and there are even some Pacquiao fans that switched up and now all of a sudden, ‘Floyd would kill him.’ But the reality is Floyd would have killed him anytime. You didn’t have to see Marquez do that to him. Floyd was going to kill Manny anyway. Marquez had already done it to him twice, but it was a big deal this time because he went up in weight. I mean, Marquez drunk his own piss to fight Floyd and then Floyd beat the piss out of him. The guy Manny fought was 38 years old,” stated world-class trainer Jeff Mayweather, who shared his thoughts on the oucome of Pacquiao vs. Marquez III, Pacquiao’s performance and his chances against Floyd Mayweather, and much more.

PC: Jeff, you got my man King Mo out there. How is training with him going?
JM: Training is going real well. I’m actually on my way to train him right now.
PC: What are some of the things you are working on with him?
JM: I mean, basically just trying to get him to shorten up his punches a little bit. I definitely don’t have to help him with his power. He punches so damn hard, it’s ridiculous; and then just trying to tighten up his defense a little bit.
PC: Is it different for you working with a mixed martial artist or is your job the same because you’re only teaching them boxing?
JM: Only a few little things are different because their stance is a lot more square because they have to use their feet as well. And that’s one thing with Mo because we gotta compromise; I was trying to get him to pivot like you do in boxing and he said, “No, I can’t do that because I may get kicked or I would be out of position to kick myself.” On that, since I never done MMA, I gotta trust his judgment on that. Things that you know like that, that I can’t teach you as far as MMA goes, are the things he has to stick with. So on that, we had no dispute. I’m not going to try and change anything that works for him. He knows the things that I’m teaching him that are boxing related don’t mess with the things he does as far as MMA. They just work out for the both of us.
