Floyd Mayweather was interviewed on Showtime’s Friday night telecast, and you knew he would have plenty to say. In part because Showtime kept on pushing and promoting the interview before it even happened. Well, Mayweather didn’t disappoint, and right here, you can watch Mayweather’s interview as he expresses his interest in the Manny Pacquiao fight for May 2nd, 2015, while also placing blame on Pacquiao, but most especially Bob Arum, and citing what he believes to be Pacquiao’s diminished status in terms of recent losses and disappointing pay-per-view numbers.
Here are a few of the choice quotes:
Absolutely, I would love to fight Manny Pacquiao. We tried to make the fight happen years ago, we had problems with random blood and urine testing…
Now he’s in a very, very tight situation. He’s lost to Marquez. He’s lost to Bradley. Pay-per-view numbers are down, extremely low. So he’s desperate…
I’m just waiting on them. We have to make the fight happen on Showtime pay-per-view…
Floyd Mayweather is not ducking or dodging any opponent.
Bob Arum is stopping the fight. We’ve been trying to make this fight happen behind the scenes for years now. But the fans and the people have been fooled because they have been listening to people on just one side.
Let’s make it happen. May 2nd. Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao. Let’s do it.
So will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao happen in 2015? Who knows.
