The interview also covers the Pacquiao Vs. Mayweather saga. Jeff chimes in with his thoughts on why this fight may or may not happen and why it hasn’t happened as of yet.
Jeff Mayweather on the Ortiz headbutt – ?Basically it’s what Floyd said, it’s different in the ring. He told Ortiz during the Face Off interview that once you get into the ring it’s different. Ortiz found out and once he realized that he couldn’t find Floyd, he went to dirty tactics.?
Jeff Mayweather on the knockout – ?It was like Ortiz was a ram. It boils down to pure frustration. Floyd wasn’t dirty to him. At the ending of the fight it was perfect, it was poetic justice.?
Jeff Mayweather on people calling the knockout a sucker punch – ?I don’t see it as a sucker punch. I see it as getting someone back. It wasn’t dirty, how many times is he going to apologize for doing something intentionally? It’s a fight.?
Jeff Mayweather on Ortiz’ post fight comments wanting a re-match – ?I’m sitting there watching Ortiz at the post fight conference. He acts like he’s 15 years old. He has no common sense, no maturity at all. Here says that he wants a rematch because he’s the money. Are you serious? The fight was called ?STAR POWER? the only person in the ring that was a star was Floyd.?
Jeff Mayweather on Pacquiao and steroids – ?Basically it has nothing to do with Floyd. If you don’t have anything to hide you would take any test out there. Ariza is saying that Manny takes anything that he gives him. If that’s the case, Manny is a damn fool.?
Jeff Mayweather on Floyd’s character – ?The one thing people can’t deny about Floyd is that he keeps it real. You have Ray Leonard, and Oscar De LaHoya, and some our greatest fighters that have perpetuated an image, then things came out like this guy did drugs, this other guy is a cross dresser and so on.?
Jeff Mayweather on Floyd’s blasting of Larry Merchant – ?This guy has been taking his shots at Floyd for a long time. The shouldn’t let him work Floyd’s fights.? Refer to Podcast for MUCH more on Jeff’s position on Merchant.?
Mayweather goes in depth on the steroid issue. He pulls no punches and speaks frankly on a list of issues. He also updates the fans on his stable as well.
