Lemme ask you a question...
lmao floyd is back

Well, my sound is on the fritz so I tried ESPN’s super hi tech transcript system… here’s what I got:

Welcome into sports senator the former number one pound for pound fighter in the world. Floyd Mayweather Floyd welcome back we’ve missed you Floyd you don’t I’m not know formidable while on qualifier on understand the best fighter — In the sport of boxing no one has did — so Heilman. On the best fighter in the world you tell me because you retired Olympic would have have ever been — But what happens is you informed ring magazine what was that aren’t aren’t — an article go on talking to governor Brian K — got liveliest of gloves in his life would don’t know nothing about — around it’s it’s good to have you back in top form already you retired what what you want to be champion emeritus forever I won’t know what actually retire when you don’t know inaudible box. Floyd why come back now one. Why not the sport to sport and this sport. Needs to cash cow back you know. We are no doubt we know Gary nor I can — we — into a — doing a sport and we are going to lose the face the box.
I few more years of this and deaf people are going to think we all turned into retarded aliens.

The hand-clapping shows massive insecurities. In fact just about everything he says shows massive insecurities.

“you called to interview me”. Ten seconds later: “no let me ask you a question”.
Yea he looks pretty insecure. Kenny did a great job.
Floyd’s just bizarre sometimes. When he’s on 24/7 and can re-do his lines, he comes off like he knows he’s playing a part. Here he just gets eaten up at points. “You sold that much with Oscar.” “What’d he do? He didn’t win!” As if the buys come in after we know who won. I mean my God. His point about his two 2007 fights selling more than all of 08/09 combined is very well-taken and I don’t dispute his stardom; I’m glad to have him back. But the man lives in a dream world half the time where no one can question him. Instead of answering questions the old fashioned way (beating people) he answers them with ridiculous runaround statements. You pick at Floyd and he turns into a child. Sadly it looks like his favorite current fighter (Chad Dawson) might be headed down the same path. I bet his second-favorite fighter is Malik Scott.

AWESOME INTERVIEW
Kenny never backed down, & Floyd is more entertaining than ever. I’m buying the PPV now.
Whereas I would have goaded someone into ordering it, I am now more than willing to shell out my own $60. However, I’m still unsure of whether or not this fight is ‘24/7’ worthy.

Floyd is so pathetic
lol I can’t wait for him to duck everybody again… What a coward.
Gimme 1 round!
If the money is right...
..I say Floyd fights anybody.
- That interview was amazing – he gave absolutely no inch to Floyd, and in Floyd’s defense I think he defended himself quite well – The Oscar Pacqiuo beat was not the same as the one Floyd beat.
Still Floyd – Pacqiuo will be amazing – the master of defense against the master of attack.
If Arrum screws this up I’ll never forgive him – it needs to be a straight down the middle 50/50 split – and live from Birmingham, England, so I can nip down and watch it!
lol...good interview
Honestly they both made some good points…
1. BK calling him the former P4P is true. He retired. FM sounds dumb trying to argue against that.
2. FM made some good points about who would draw more between Marquez and Mosley. Mosley would be a more competitive fight, but it’s all about the money. Marquez will definitely have more Mexican fans behind him buying the fight.
3. Floyd did fight a different ODH. Different weight classes and different gloves can make a big difference.
4. Manny has lost several fights, though I would counter that his competition has been better then Floyds.
5. BK pretty much cornered FM about fighting a guy two weight classes below him. FM had no answer. Saying his management has done a great job doesn’t answer that question. But at the same time, Marquez fought very well against Pacquio. Though Pacquio won, it’s not like Marquez was blown out either time. In fact, both were very close fights and it could even be said that Marquez should have won the 2nd fight. I’m not saying he won, but it’s not ridiculous to make that statement. So if people want to clamor about Mayweather fighting Pacman at that weight, then why not Marquez?
Whatever Floyd.
Guy irritates me.
I really hope Marquez cains him in somehow.
Floyd should have a nappy round his mouth to catch all that shit.
Marching on Together.
Marquez is not receiving enough respect
I won’t doubt Marquez after watching the two pacquaio fights. I thought he won both of them. I know he plays into Mayweather’s hands but I can’t see this fight as a pushover for PBF.
By the way...
He is the best I have ever seen at making tactical changes to win fights. Not many guys can change a gamplan mid-fight like he can.
Thats Floyd for yah
Floyd was talking in circles the whole time. He does not feel confident enough to fight Manny right after retirement. He wants to beat up on Marquez, to test his wits, and observe himself before stepping up. However, I really want to see a Pacqioau Mayweather bout.
