Floyd Mayweather Interview: “I’ll Easily Beat Manny Pacquiao”
I will say this about Floyd, he makes some solid points in regards to Manny not answering the direct question if he wants to fight him or not and also that he is in a no win situation. If Manny wins the world will explode, but if Floyd wins unless it is in spectacular fashion people will say:
“He was suppose to win he is the bigger man”
With that being said the facts are he doesn’t have a lot of leverage. Manny’s reputation is solid especially within the media and boxing circles. Plus he is a very likable guy, with an interesting crew who goes up in weight and beats down some very good fighters (at a later a date I will break down if this reputation is really legit or more urban legend). Floyd reputation at this moment is of a very talented fighter who cherry picks his opponents while ducking others (I already covered this “The Truth About Floyd Mayweather“).
Unfortunately for Floyd that leaves him in a position where it is much more important for him to beat Manny than it is for Manny to beat Floyd.
To my understanding there is a 50/50 offer on the table where the winner would get a little bit extra. Floyd should take that offer. If he takes care of Manny he will clear 30 million (some saying 40-50 million) easy and at least silence a few of those critics.
There are people who think anywhere from 140-147 Manny is unbeatable, so it will be a step in cementing his own legacy if Floyd can put him down.
The fight is going to happen. It isn’t a matter of if, but when.

floyd can easily beat fighters he doesn’t wanna get in the ring with. how can someone who claims he is t
e best at 147 pound, come out of retirement,and won’t go after the champions in that weight class, the champions were,sugar shane mosley,joshua clottey or even andre berto,instead he went I pick a light weight champions and to make matters worst,he couldn’t even make the agreed weight.Sugar shane mosley can beat up Mayweather and that’s a fact, even mayweather senior,and mayweather’s uncle knows that,which is why they’re doing everything in their power to avoid him, Mayweather’s trainer even called Shane mosley a throw back fighter.

Chill Mobb..
Floyd will take the Manny fight because its big money and the fight will be easier than people think. 30 million for a guy he sees as one dimensional. Not saying its true but this is how Floyd sees the fight.

It's a misconception and a fallacy that Floyd ducks fighters. He has fought them all and beaten them all. Time and time again, we hear that this is the guy that is going to beat Floyd, and when Floyd makes them look silly, it's the same old adage "well he was supposed to beat him anyways". Floyd is going to annihilate this Pacquiao fella.

"I'll easily beat Manny…"?!?!?!
Well, so far, no one's easily beat Manny, so this ought to be pretty interesting.
But what the hell else is he going to say; Well, maybe this time I'll get my ass handed to me?
As always, we'll see what happen when they step into the ring. But we might want to give Paqy just a little credit. If I were Mayweather, I'd strat training TODAY.

Pacman is such a good gentleman, very likeable and talented. He has exceeded my expectations I had of him. Having said that, I see Mayweather not struggling at all in beating Pacman. Mayweather is well aware of his weight and reach advantage. Unlike Oscar and Cotto, he will rely mostly on his speed, punching accuracy, movements and his dangerous defensive counter punching. He can do that for 12 rounds unless Pacman get hurts. Floy is a good finisher. I see Floyd winning the fight.Period!

He cant beat Pacquiao below 147…. There is no freakin way… floyd wants to have a big pay day because he knows this is the end… I see Manny winning the fight. Period!
And then some….

I think Manny is a good fighter first of all, but, I dont think he can fuck with "Money" regardless of what everyone says about Floyd "duckin" fighters……..thats bullshit! DID YOU EVER CONSIDER boxing is a business? you just dont fight anyone! The days of getting in the ring with any and everyone is over…PERIOD. IT'S about capitalizing on the sport without compromising your health as much as possible. Niggaz already go through enough during training and lifestyle sacrifices anyway.

Floyd is one of the lucky guys who have the talent and the business savvy to navigate his way through the "Doggy Dogg" world of boxing!!! I'm assuming people commenting on this board are lovers of the sport of boxing? Well if you are, think of some boxers who let others dictate their fight schedules. For instance, Roy Jones Jr. who, is at a confrence and some virtually unkwown guy named Antonio Tarver jumps up and challenges him to a fight. Take em on right? NO!!! Roy presumptously accepts and gets KO'D in the second round. If he would of given some thought to it and realized that he had to undergo super-intensive training to lose 35 pounds in a very short period of time for the match, he would have seen the s..t that Antonio was shoveling. Instead, his legacy tarnished forever in one blow. To add insult to injury, Antonio walks away with everything Roy ever worked for in his carreer in one nights work. Floyd already told us he would not let boxing retire him…..Well, I think he is making the right decisions……….1.Fight who you will……2.On your own terms!!!! After all…..It is Floyd who has all the leverage……….he is 40-0! Think about it.

no one comes out of retirement, a two year retirement and fights the champion right away. everyone that does that usually looses. secound i dont think mayweather enticapated getting hurt. i think he intended on fight marquez then fighting pacman in november and then fighting mosley early 2010. rib injury kind of killed those plans. doesnt matter. he is fighting the qoute best pound for pound. and remember marquez was considered #2 pound for pound when he fought mayweather. and after pacman fight mayweather already said he will fight mosley. joshua clottey? berto? out of mayweathers league.

mayweather will say he might get beat when he gets someone that has the talent to do so. mayweather might talk but all his predictions have come true. 40-0 record. all the mayweather killers have all been beat. you can talk as long as you back it up. he has.
December 8th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
no one gives mayweather for being the buissness man he is. he doesnt let promoters run him into the ground. gets 100% of his purse unlike people like pacman no disrespect but 27% of his purse goes to abrum. mayweather made over 100 million dollers the year he retired. being part of a boxing family he knows what happens to fighters. great fighter, great buissness man.
