When it comes to fighting Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather is like a boomerang that always comes back to the same place.
Not a chance, says Floyd.
And now he?s said it again. He?s also implying once more that Pacquiao uses PEDs. More on that later.
The welterweight champ, still claiming to be The Best Ever, is once again trying to explain why it makes sense for him ? a man who unapologetically proclaims his love of money and regularly poses with stacks of hundred-dollar bills ? to avoid the one fight that would make him more of it than any other two fights you could name.
When Floyd wants to spread a ridiculous story like that he likes to use the facilities of fighthype.com, a fight site that?s always willing to at least pretend ?Money? Mayweather is talking sense. This time he also threatened to fire his father, Floyd Mayweather, Sr., if he doesn?t shut up about Pacquiao. No surprise there. Junior?s fired Daddy before.
?I want my dad to be with my team,? he said, ?but if he continues to go out there and speak on things that he has no knowledge about without communicating with me, then I must get a new trainer.?
Over the course of the last year, Pacquiao?s promoter, Bob Arum, has made positive statements about putting together the Mayweather-Pacquiao superfight, implying and sometimes even saying that negotiations are taking place. Arum, shooting for the stars, has even raised the possibility of staging two fights.
Also, Richard Schaefer is no longer running Golden Boy Promotions, which does all the promotional heavy lifting for Mayweather cards on a fight-by-fight basis. Schaefer never had any right to speak for Mayweather, but he did anyway, quite routinely, and said repeatedly that he would never work with Arum and there would be no Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, period. Mayweather clearly liked what Schaefer said.
