Mayweather and Brian Kenny About to Rip Into Each Other on Sportscenter

[match]

2 things about that interview. Kenny is wrong. Mayweather did not get full credit for the De La Hoya and Hatton wins.

And Mayweather brings up a great point. Why is he to big for Marquez, but not Pacquiao?

Because Marquez is an unknown quantity above 135. He has never fought a guy above lightweight.

Pac has demolished a former 154 champ and a former 147 champ in his last two fights.

This is true, but at the same time, we have to ask ourselves, why is Pac's camp insisting that they will only fight Mayweather or Mosley or Cotto at catchweight's if he was indeed so successful against those two bigger fighters?

[OumaFan]

He does sound just like somebody on saddo If you look closely you'll see Majesty in the background with a shit load of cue cards.

The funny part is Mayweather almost seemed mad at the end when its obvious he wanted that kind of argument.

Floyd's not very charismatic and he's completely humorless but he's smart in the sense that people will remember that interview, whether they think he acted like a dick or not.

Just playing the game. Pac is the big fish at the moment and calling the shots. Obviously it's to his advantage to make those guys drop weight. A few pounds either way will quickly be wavered once the money is right

That showed how insecured floyd is when pacquiao is mentioned :newpoints:

This is why his fighting jmm, so he can say he beat the guy that gave pac the toughest fight. why dont you just fight pacquiao?

I VERY much disagree with this..

Floyd has NEVER EVER been up front about who he "wants" to fight or anything like that.. he knows how to sell a fight.. and you're buying right into it..

If he SAYS he wants Pacquiao after JMM then people would be expecting it.. As soon as the PBF/JMM fight ends, if floyd is the winner, we'd all be like GREAT he fights pac now..

but if it's left up in the air, then the day the PBF/Pac fight gets signed everyone would go BANANAS!!

Floyd did NOT say that he wouldn't fight Pac, he said "if he wants it he's got it"..

how did you come to the conclusion that he didn't want to fight Pacquaio?

watch the vid again maybe?

PBF - "Answer the question"
Kenny - "I don' t think you asked me a question"
PBF - "I did ask you a question. Bob Arum gonna do what he gonna do you have to ask him"
Kenny - <<blinks>> internal monologue: (the only reason I am smiling through this interview is because I got laid this morning. Floyd is such a dick! Also, he speaks broken ebonics... Maybe we should update him on verb tenses before the next interview)

[JT Rock]

it was awesome for Floyd on a worldwide stage like espn sportcenter to step up and intelligently defend himself against the double standard that seems to be applied to him...

He set the record straight plain and simple

I wouldn't go that far

Floyd answered some question well but he also flapped and sounded like a wally at times.

[PaulG]

I think Floyd's great. Sure he's an arrogant prick but he backs it up every time.

It's inevitable that he will fight Manny - he can't not but I think that its only fair he has a tune up fight first and fighting the p4p no 2 before the p4p no 1 is a hell of a tune up.

Good old Floyd, he's got me excited about this fight again and I a may go and see him tomorrow!

" I dont' care if they come to see me loose or see me win as long as they show up." Everything this guy does he does for $$$$$. Kenny can get under his skin but floyd is getting into all of thier and our pockets. They hate him and guys like T.O. yet they report and make a big deal out of everything they say and do and for who ?? It's not like he has a ton of fans or does he ??....hillarious. These guys are like children they do things for a reaction, and they're having no problem getting em.

[OumaFan]

Floyd loves doing these things, why do you think he only gets interviewed by Brian Kenny?

its attention, publicity pure and simple. They use each other. Anybody that thinks these two hate each other or that Floyd is being picked on is out to lunch.

[Chino]

I liked some points Mayweather made about him being too big for Marquez but not too big for Pacquiao, Marquez questionable decisions vs Pacquiao, people ignoring how Pacquiao lost before, etc. Floyd even asked Kenny "Has Pacquiao lost before" and he answered "NO!", Huh? Gotta do your homework before you interview someone about boxing.

[OumaFan]

LOL, are you kidding me, Kenny knew Pacquaio had lost before, he was just pointing out that a few of the losses had taken place like ten years ago when he was fighting at like 112

Actually, he got Kenny to admit on national tv that one of those losses came alot more recently than just 10 years ago, as Kenny openly stated he thought, like most people, Marquez beat Manny last year

[OumaFan]

Meh, true but that's not my point, I was just responding to the bizarre claim that somehow Brian Kenny (host of ESPN's boxing show for years ) for some completely unknown reason thought Pacquaio was undefeated.

I think Pacquaio barely edged the second fight but that's besides the point.

[Spicoli]

That entire interview was like running over a giant rock pile with a lawnmower.And ya have to love "I dont fight for bragging rights"...And then smacking Kenny about what he makes in a year etc.
