Floyd claims that he didn't watch Saturday's fight between the two but he congratulates them on their rivalry and continuously fighting more than once. He also says Bob Arum is the man in the way of making the fight with him and Pac-Man actually happen.
On Arum:
“I personally think it’s Bob Arum having a vendetta. I think he’s very, very upset with me because, you know, I exposed and I opened the world’s eyes up to different things.”
Mayweather is referencing, of course, his nasty split from Top Rank years ago, where he was harsh about fighters being screwed by promoters. He also feels that in his time promoting himself since then — with a big helping hand from Golden Boy, it should be noted — he’s shown that fighters don’t need to work for promoters. That’s his belief, and the fact is he pulls in a ton of money. Arum was famously of the belief that Mayweather lacked superstar quality.
On Pacquiao vs Marquez, and a possible fourth fight between the two:
“Why? I mean, I truly feel that Marquez is never going to get the benefit of the doubt. I want to congratulate Marquez and I want to congratulate Manny Pacquiao for doing it a third time, but I just feel like if you get it done right the first time, there’s no need for a second or third fight. And if it is needed, do it again in the same fashion and in the same way, or do it even better.”
