FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR: "TAKE THE TESTS AND YOU GOT A FIGHT, IT'S THAT SIMPLE"

By Percy Crawford | December 08, 2010
FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR:

"Is he willing to take random testing? Well, there is your answer right there. Believe me, if he would take the test with no cutoff date and all of that, there would be a fight. Lil Floyd would love that fight; trust me when I tell you. Lil Floyd would beat 3 Pacquiao's in one night if the playing field is even...At the end of the day, none of these [expletive] care if Lil Floyd gets brain damage or dies in the ring, and that's from any fight, not just Pacquiao. I'm his daddy and I care and I'm the one advising him not to fight under any other circumstances. I want to see that fight too, but it has to be a fair fight. I think Floyd can whoop him with or without that shit in him, but why let my son take a risk that can be prevented. Take the tests and you got a fight, it's that simple. Floyd would love that fight," stated world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., who repeated Team Mayweather's stance on random Olympic-style blood testing leading all the way up to the bout if there's ever any hope of the two best fighters in the world facing off. You don't want to miss what else he had to say as Big Floyd shares his thoughts on a potential Pacquiao-Mosley clash and sets the record straight regarding comments he made that were taken out of context. Check it out!

PC: How is everything going?

FM: Everything is going good man. I got a lot of things going on right now. I'm doing the book, I'm looking into a few reality shows, and me and Jack Mosley is going to do this tournament thing.

PC: I never heard anything about a tournament with you and Jack. What's that?

FM: Yeah, me and Jack going to be doing this tournament. I can't say too much about it right now, but like I said man, I got a lot on the table right now; staying busy.

PC: That sounds pretty cool man. It appears Mosley/Pacquiao will be out in Vegas in April...

FM: (Cutting in) They gonna check Shane good and not Pacquiao. Watch what I tell you. Shane is going to have to go through all kinds of shit, but Pacquiao won't have to. And then Pacquiao will beat Shane up and they will say, "Oh, Mayweather didn't do this and that to Shane, but Pacquiao did." The difference is Lil Floyd ain't got nothing in him.

PC: So you are still suspicious about Pacman?

FM: Is he willing to take random testing? Well, there is your answer right there. Believe me, if he would take the test with no cutoff date and all of that shit, there would be a fight. Lil Floyd would love that fight; trust me when I tell you. Lil Floyd would beat 3 Pacquiao's in one night if the playing field is even. Shit, he would beat 3 and I would whoop 1 if the playing field is even. They talking about he don't like to give blood, but shit, Lil Floyd would have to give the same amount of blood. Who the fuck likes to give blood? Listen to what I'm telling you man, if they are on an even playing field, Floyd would beats the shit out of Pacquiao.

PC: There were some reports that you were quoted saying you were scared for Lil Floyd to fight Pacquiao.

FM: That's just motherfuckers trying to turn son against father. I said I would be scared for Lil Floyd to fight anyone that I felt like had an unfair advantage. That's what the fuck I said. They can twist it however the fuck they want to twist it, but that's what I said. At the end of the day, that's my fucking son. That is my fucking son and nobody else's son but mines. It's my job to look out for his best interest and I said I would be scared for my son to fight anybody who I thought had an unfair advantage. That goes for Pacquiao or anybody else. On an even playing field, I don't think nobody can whoop Lil Floyd. What the fuck am I gonna say I'm scared for Lil Floyd to fight Pacquiao for? Come on man. Scared of what? Hey, just like Freddie "The Joke Coach" Roach didn't want Joe Cortez to referee that fight with Pacquiao and Oscar because he's Hispanic, it's the same reason I don't want my son to fight Pacquiao without blood testing. I wanna make sure the playing field is even, just like Roach wanted to make sure his fighter was getting a fair fight. At the end of the day, none of these motherfuckers care if Lil Floyd gets brain damage or dies in the ring, and that's from any fight, not just Pacquiao. I'm his daddy and I care and I'm the one advising him not to fight under any other circumstances. I want to see that fight too, but it has to be a fair fight. I think Floyd can whoop him with or without that shit in him, but why let my son take a risk that can be prevented. Take the tests and you got a fight, it's that simple. Floyd would love that fight.

PC: What did you think of Pacquiao dismantling Antonio Margarito?

FM: I mean, here is a guy coming from 106 pounds fighting a guy 6 inches taller than him and breaking his eye socketÂ…come on man. What you think? Something ain't right about that when no other motherfucker in the history of the sport done that shit. He could have stopped Margarito. If this was the old days where the fights were 15 rounds, he would have stopped Margarito (laughing). Something ain't right about that.

PC: I'm not gonna keep you on Big Floyd. I just wanted to let you clear the air on the situation of you being quoted as saying you were scared for Lil Floyd to fight Pacquiao.

FM: Whoever twisted my words like that just trying to start shit. I appreciate the call and I'm glad you will put it out there just the way I said it. I said I would be scared for my son to fight anybody with an unfair advantage; that's my son. Hell, I ain't gonna send Lil Floyd in the street to fight somebody that I know has a gun. That's plain stupid, so I did say I would be scared for him to fight anyone that I felt had an unfair advantage. Percy, you know if I thought someone could beat Lil Floyd, I would be the first to say I don't like that fight because I feel they are too big or too strong or whatever, but from this lil motherfucker, hell naw man. I ain't said that at all. If they fight and both are being tested all the way leading up to the fight, Floyd would beat 3 Pacquiao's on the same night.
