JEFF MAYWEATHER SOUNDS OFF; KEEPS IT 100 ON BRONER VS. VARGAS:

"Broner’s whole reputation was built on him imitating Floyd. I ain’t afraid to say that to nobody. I’ll say it to him. But that’s not a diss, that’s the truth...I said the same thing that every single person said about this fight. Every single person has said the exact same thing, and basically what they are saying is it depends on what Broner shows up because nobody knows," stated world-class trainer Jeff Mayweather, who spoke more about the upcoming clash between Adrien Broner and Jessie Vargas. Check it out!

PC: I can’t have Jeff Mayweather upset with FightHype. You didn’t like a few of the recent interviews we put up with you. 

JM: I don’t like no titles attached to me. You guys had someone approach for me an interview. I don’t remember his name, but he had long hair, and the titles he used...when you ask me a question and I haven’t said anything derogatory about anyone, don’t post no article saying, “Jeff dissed this person,” when Jeff didn’t do anything like that. I know how it is when people trying to get someone to read their article, but if you’re going to interview me and you’re going to post something like that, that’s your last interview with me. 

PC: Just for people that don’t know, you’re talking about the interview where it was said that you dissed Adrien Broner. 

JM: I didn’t like that one or the other one saying I was dissing [Anthony] Joshua. I didn’t diss anyone. First of all, I don’t try to diss fighters. If you diss me or someone in my family, then I’m going to diss you. That’s the only way I’m going to diss you. Other than that, I don’t ever have nothing derogatory to say about no fighter. In both of those interviews, I didn’t diss Joshua or Broner. What I said is that in both fights, either guy could win. So how did I diss anyone?

PC: I’m sure it was regarding the line about Broner not being able to ride Floyd's coattails anymore. 

JM: When I speak, I speak the truth. Broner’s whole reputation was built on him imitating Floyd. I ain’t afraid to say that to nobody. I’ll say it to him. But that’s not a diss, that’s the truth. But, the thing is this, I didn’t diss him. I didn’t say he had no chance of winning or anything like that. I said the same thing that every single person said about this fight. Every single person has said the exact same thing, and basically what they are saying is it depends on what Broner shows up because nobody knows. I don’t care what interview has been done about Broner getting ready to fight Vargas, that’s the first thing that any person you ask is going to say. If that’s a diss, I guess I did diss him then. I dissed him just like everybody else did. But that’s bullshit. 

PC: You’ve always kept it real with us, so I definitely wanted to give you the chance to get out your frustrations so that we could rectify any issues you had. 

JM: Definitely! If I feel a certain way, I’m going to say it. I never tried to disrespect anyone, but I don’t want no headlines to be something I didn’t do. If I dissed a person, believe me, you would know I dissed them. I believe there is one article...nope, two people I ever dissed and that wasd De La Hoya and Roy Jones and that was because they both talked trash about Floyd. I did both of those articles with you and I didn’t have not one gripe or complaint about the way you put it out. I think from now on, you’re the only person from the site I will talk to. But Roy and Oscar talked trash, so I talked trash about them. That’s my family. So of course I’m going to stand up for them. I didn’t really ever diss Conor McGregor. The thing with Conor is Conor had to do that to sell the fight. I understand the business. You’re talking about a guy that’s never even had a professional boxing match. He’s gotta make these people feel like he could win. What Conor did was understandable for the business. I get the business side of it. I understand exactly where he was coming from. I mean, you make $100 million in your pro debut, that’s amazing to me (laughing). If anybody dissing him, they a damn fool; fool or jealous, one of the two. 

PC: I always appreciate your time and I continue to look forward to every opportunity I have to speak to you. I’m glad you were able to kind of clear things up and before I let you go, I wanted to give you an opportunity to say anything that you may have left out. 

JM: I’m saying this for anyone that has interviewed me and for anyone that wants to interview me, if you’re going to put a bullshit title to what I say, don’t even come my way. That’s basically the reason why I’m talking to you because you don’t do it. But don’t paint a picture of me that I’m not. That’s all I’m asking. In a nutshell, don’t make me out to be something that I’m not because at the end of the day, I’m going to make you be something that you’re not because I’ll eat your ass alive too.
