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

[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.

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.

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

Yeah I really don't get this notion that Floyd handled the interview so well. The points he was trying to make were no doubt valid, but he is about as articulate as Charlie Zelenoff in there. If he were truly even remotely intelligent he coud have easily dismantled BK. For instance when Brian tried to grill him on why he wasn't fighting the winner of the two fights between Pac and Marquez, could Floyd not have simply said, "well I personally feel Marquez won both fights, and has looked sensational himself in moving up in weight after the fact." It's perfectly valid to point out that he fought Oscar on his terms when he had something left, and may have severely dented Hatton's punch resistance and ruined his confidence in elite fights. Or perhaps show some humility and simply admit that Pac is the harder puncher yet he controlled the fight with Hatton and has much different strengths than Manny? Styles make fights perhaps? I don't like the way Brian Kenny acted as though he had this major ammunition to grill Mayweather about simply because Pacquiao defeated Oscar and Ricky in quicker fashion. Decent watch though I guess.

Yeah I really don't get this notion that Floyd handled the interview so well.

There aren't many boxers or human beings that would have just gone off on Kenny and started cursing him out with the way he was trying to subtly take shots. He wasn't being an impartial journalist at all. . .he was rattled. For a person who makes a living and has devoted his life to physical violence against another human, I think he did great no to just walk off and tell Kenny that he would kick his ass when he saw him next. lol.

We aren't talking about Rhodes scholars here fellas.

DC I think you are reading to much into this. Mayweather does this everytime he is with Kenny, he even told him before that Kenny was going to be his Howard Cossell. I don't think the former P4P number 1 was a shot, it's the truth. Unless floyd also wants to fight the editors of every P4P list maker out there, I think he was just doing this for publicity which is why he was on the show in the first place.

Don't know man. I never remember seeing Cossell lose it before, but I didn't see all his work. I also can tell you from seeing almost every floyd interview he wasn't faking. What was fake was floyd being calm at the end. He was pissed and then tried to act like it wasn't real, but it was. it was good pub, but I think both of the guys got emotional - for real.

[amat]

I don't doubt that at least on Mayweather's part but I think he was just talking about the antagonistic relationship Ali and Cossell had when he said that, I think it was on Friday Night Fights when he said that because I couldn't find it on Youtube but I do remember it.

Anyways, Mayweather has been annoyed it seems on his whole media tour this week. I think all those interviews were on the same day as his NY press conference because he is in the same shirt, even though they've appeared on different days. But obviously he's going to be annoyed because he thinks he's better then Pacquiao and Pacquiao is now boxing's new big attraction and he fights with a more crowd pleasing style so it's put a bit of a chip on Floyd's shoulder but Kenny will interview Mayweather again and I doubt either have any hard feelings.

He does seem a bit pissed off I agree but I think that's about the situation in general.

[Spicoli]

Well nuts,If Kenny can take Mayweather out of his game....heres to hoping Marquez can duplicate it .Let him fight pissed off!Mayweathers boxing mind is a work of art....but his mouth can be a great set up jab.
