"I was thrust into a position to actually try to put together a deal and basically, I kind of, I started the process, but eventually I just took myself out of the process because at the end of the day, it's not my decision to make. So I kind of pulled myself away from the process and now, Floyd and his team, I guess, will make that final decision...$100 mill, when you're talking about two fights, is easy; it's easy for Floyd to make. I think that could be easily be done," stated world-class trainer Jeff Mayweather, who stopped by the FightHype Radio Show to speak with hosts Vivek Wallace and Danny Howard about a number of topics, including his nephew Floyd, Manny Pacquiao, Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez and much more.

On Floyd Mayweather asking for $100 million to face Manny Pacquiao...
"I was thrust into a position to actually try to put together a deal and basically, I kind of, I started the process, but eventually I just took myself out of the process because at the end of the day, it's not my decision to make. So I kind of pulled myself away from the process and now, Floyd and his team, I guess, will make that final decision."
"Everybody is just going to have to wait and see because, like I said, I mean, I involved myself with the initial start of everything, but it got to a point where, myself, I just wanted to take myself out of that picture and not be caught in the middle of everything and all the fingers are pointing at me, so I just took myself out of the equation."
"I'm waiting to hear, just like you guys, what's going to happen."
"$100 mill, when you're talking about two fights, is easy; it's easy for Floyd to make. I think that could be easily be done."
"I think that, you know, the possibility of maybe $100 million, you know, split between Floyd and Manny is beyond doable. I know that that can be done. But when you start talking about $100 million for one fight, I don't think that that can happen because that's a bit much. I mean, $100 million for each guy is unrealistic, but $100 million for the two of the guys, I mean, that's very doable and very tangible. I mean, that can happen."
