"Basically, it's a situation where Bob wants to make Floyd look like he's a bad guy by doing this. Realistically, it doesn't matter because at the end of the day, Floyd don't need Manny and Manny don't need him. They need each other to make that kind of money, but if they can't agree...like I said, Bob just wants to make Floyd look like he's the bad guy by saying, 'Oh, we gave him a deadline and he didn't beat it.' But he told ya'll to do damn random testing and ya'll never did agree to it. And they still haven't agreed to it," stated world-class trainer Jeff Mayweather, uncle of Floyd Mayweather, as he talked about promoter Bob Arum's deadline. You don't want to miss what else he had to say as he talks about the status of the defamation lawsuit, Shane Mosley, Zab Judah and much more. Check it out!
PC: How is everything going Jeff?
JM: Everything is good.
PC: Bob Arum gave your nephew Floyd a midnight deadline. What do you think of that whole situation?
JM: Basically, it's a situation where Bob wants to make Floyd look like he's a bad guy by doing this. Realistically, it doesn't matter because at the end of the day, Floyd don't need Manny and Manny don't need him. They need each other to make that kind of money, but if they can't agree...like I said, Bob just wants to make Floyd look like he's the bad guy by saying, "Oh, we gave him a deadline and he didn't beat it." But he told ya'll to do damn random testing and ya'll never did agree to it. And they still haven't agreed to it. And then he thinks they gonna try to trick somebody by saying, "Oh, we will do random testing with a 14-day cutoff." What the fuck is that? That's bullshit! That ain't random.
PC: You told me something earlier that I didn't know and that was that the lawsuit was dropped. Do you think after he won the election, it was kind of hard to prove his character was defamed?
JM: Well Percy, not only that, but the other thing is, realistically, he knows he didn't have a fucking case. You can't sue everybody because they said something; Floyd ain't the only fucking person that said that. Paulie Malignaggi said it way before Floyd did and fucking Kermit Cintron said it way before Floyd did. And then you have other people that said it.
PC: What do you think of Sergio Mora as a comeback fight for Shane? Stylistically, there could be a little danger there for Shane, wouldn't you think?
JM: Sergio Mora is not Floyd. Shane gonna beat Sergio Mora's ass. Stylistically, it's not a good fight, but you gotta realize that Sergio Mora can't come nowhere fucking close to Floyd's ability. Believe me, he's going to get his ass whooped.
PC: The Super 6 tournament is going strong, with the last fight being Andre Ward dominating Alan Green. Let me get your thoughts on that fight before I let you go.
JM: I think Alan Green basically got exposed. Once he stepped up against a real world-class fighter, he showed his true grit because he didn't even try to fight. He basically...don't get me wrong, you can give him when he stepped up against Miranda and got beat, because he had colon surgery or whatever, but now, this time he talked all of that trash and talked about what he was going to do and that was his real shot to fight for a world title against a top notch fighter and he didn't do nothing. He was fortunate to get in that tournament because when it was a chance to step up and prove himself, he didn't take a chance. I have seen him fight better than that. I don't know if he was scared...after all of that bravado and trash talk he talked, it was almost like, "Wow, I should have kept my mouth shut."
PC: Once he was trying to touch gloves after each round, I knew the fight was over.
JM: You got the same shit from Shane. Shane talked all of that shit about what he was going to do. He got all up in Floyd's face and asked for that ass whooping and he got it. He got exactly what he asked for. It's the exact same thing with Green. He sold all of those damn wolf tickets and didn't even try. He didn't fight with any urgency at all. You wouldn't have even thought he was losing. He lost every round. what are you going to do?
PC: Zab Judah was out there in Vegas training at your gym. What do you expect from him tonight?
JM: Zab should do okay. I work at the gym where he's at and I got a chance to watch him and Zab really put in work for this fight. He probably trained harder for this fight than he's ever trained in his life. He probably realized this is it now. He probably realized one loss and he will stay on that network forever. He's probably just one loss away from staying on ESPN. I'm going to be honest though, he worked hard. I saw that with my own eyes.
