Floyd Mayweather On Manny Pacquiao: “Why Is Pacquiao Scared To Say My Name?”

Posted on November 17th, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

Categories: Floyd Mayweather, Jr., News, Sports

Floyd Mayweather is yelling out the old Destiny’s Child jawn, Say My Name-Say My Name, to Pac-Man. If you saw the fight Saturday night, then you probably remember hearing Larry Merchant asking Manny Pacquiao about fighting Floyd Money.

Manny backed out of the question and really did sound a little spooked about fighting Pretty Boy. When Merchant asked his trainer, Freddy Roach, he said “We Want Mayweather.” You knew Floyd was waiting to hear that and we immediately thought of what Floyd would say. Here it is:

“Manny Pacquiao is the fighter and every time someone asks him if he wants to fight me, he says it is up to his promoter, he’s going to take a vacation, whatever the answer is. I have yet to hear him actually say, ‘yes I want to fight Mayweather.’ We are the fighters and if one fighter is talking about fighting another fighter, then they should just come out and say it. Manny Pacquiao doesn’t say anything directly about fighting me because he might just know it’s not a fight he can win.

“He said during an interview he did leading up to his fight that he didn’t think I wanted to fight him and that boxing for me was just a business and I wasn’t interested in a good fight. But again, he never said during that interview that he would fight me. Why is he talking about what I won’t do instead of what he wants to do? Plain and simple, it’s because he knows he can’t beat me under any circumstances.

“Less than an hour after his fight Saturday night the talk turns back to me. Their whole promotion was just a Mayweather sweepstakes. They know it and anyone could figure that out. Why, because my name kept coming up and I didn’t even say anything. Even when he was interviewed on ESPN by Brian Kenny, he was asked about fighting me and what did he say? Not ‘yes I want to fight Mayweather or bring it on.’ But no! He said ‘hum, ahh, well talk to my promoter.’

“The world is much more intrigued by the thought of someone fighting me who can beat me. That is what everyone wants to see and the boxing world is trying to find that guy. Manny Pacquiao’s people have done a good job of creating an image of him to be this unbelievable fighter and now the so-called guy to beat me. But like all the rest, he’s not the one.

“There is boxing and then there is me. The rest are just falling in line behind me or are trying to get in line to fight me. And that includes Manny Pacquiao too.

“Tell Manny Pacquiao to be his own man and stop letting everyone, including his loudmouth trainer, talk for him. I am my own boss, speak for myself and tell it like it is. If Manny Pacquiao wants to fight me, all he has to do is step up to the plate and say it himself.”

We here at Bossip think Pac-Man is one hell of a fighter and the fight of the decade will be with Manny and Floyd….

    Did he have the nerve to call someone a loudmouth?!

  • http://v WertyBaby

    sounds like Mayweather is the one scared

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    It’s not that he WON’T say his name.

    He probably can’t pronounce it.

  • David

    The King has spoken.

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    Besides–he’s doesn’t need to talk. Neither of them do for that matter.

    Just get it on in the ring.

  • Mr. Cool

    “Let’s Get It On!”

    This fight will set pay-per-view records all day.

  • Denver Chick

    I can dig it. His job is to fight not talk thats why he pays a promoter! …It’ll be a good fight

  • http://v WertyBaby

    Floyd has always been an arrogant a**hole. Floyd is the one that said he didn’t want to fight Manny. Floyd is the one that has to say YES. In order to be the best you must beat the best. Floyd has never fought anybody that was on top at the time, he has always fought the person that was ranked 4th or 5th in the division. This fool has only had 1 knockout(Hatton)in how many YEARS. Floyd has done nothing but get LUCKY decisions these few years. Manny will end that.

  • M Wil The Beast

    I can’t see Pac beating Floyd. How can you beat a dude that doesn’t get hit?

  • David

    PBF = Champ!!!

  • Lady D

    I want to see them fight. I think Floyd may be getting a run for all that money of his.

  • DAYWALKER( MR INTENSITY!!!!)

    Once Pac-man fights s-o-m-e-o-n-e like Paul “THE PUNISHER” Williams, then he can talk!! Till then, he needs to take his cat eating azz back to the gym and STFU!! Floyd doesn’t have a damn thing to prove, because last I checked, HE’S DA CHAMP!!!!

  • Leslie

    That’s cause Manny aint about the running the mouth sh*t like Floyd. He shows you with them hands!

  • Leslie

    I used to be a die hard Mayweather fan, but his mouth gets on my nerves. Not to mention I did not like his response when Mosely was like yeah, I’m trying to get in that a$$! He just seemed like a little beeyotch to me.

  • Leslie

    @ Man

    He don’t want no parts of that, pretty boy my a$$.

    _____________________________________________________Thanks papa!!

  • Just Some Cat

    I hope Manny whups Flyod’s arrogant black ass.

  • You Smell Me??

    Seriously, PAC MAN will win. I would like to compare Mayweather to Ali in terms of the trash talking, but Ali beat the best, at their best. So he could do the talking.

    If he wants people to believe he is the best, fight Pacquiao (only if you survive Sugar Shane [who was 38-0 at one point also]) Then brag. People will be believers then, but until then, just fight.

    He is still young, so he technically has a while before his body starts to break down.

  • http://www.prefixmag.com Dave Park

    Manny hasn’t ducked anyone. Floyd on the other hand has a list of guys he’s ducked…Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, Manny Pacquiao…

    His legacy will always be tarnished by these facts.

  • truthbetold

    Lets face it black people run the sporting world, and boxing is no different. Floyd is the best and people want him to lose because he is black with an attitude. Its not gonna happen. U whites need to invent another sport similar to hockey, (slidding across ice) if u want to be the best at a sport. Until then shut up, with your un athletic asses, LOL.

  • Eva

    For a veteran, he sure is arrogant. Manny doesn’t brag, that’s all it is, and he’s grateful for all the blessing that he’d been getting. Floyd should learn to appreciate as well..

  • Chris

    I want Mayweather to be the champ. I want him to win all the time. he is black and he is smart and strong…

  • tb (Bossip been trying to give my computer viruses all day – Bossip, why so many viruses on the site?)

    Wow, Floyd is the most arrogant person I have ever seen. Just Wow!

    @ tx hustla…..Whaddup fam? Yeah Paul Williams is a pretty sharp fighter, remind me of Thomas Hitman Hearns…I think he would be a better opponent for Floyd, Floyd is bigger and faster than Pac, and the world will see when Money Mayweather put his money where his mouth is….

  • 100%

    GTFOH!!!!!
    That nicca want’s Pac, like he wants the swine flu!!!

    Floyd is Fakin. After his last fight when they aske him if he would fight the winner of the Cotto vs. Pac-man fight. He did not say anything. He said the same thing I will talk to my management team and see who is the best fight. So why is he fakin. When he did the same thing.

  • BLACK-A-RIFICK

    Manny hasn’t ducked anyone. Floyd on the other hand has a list of guys he’s ducked…Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, Manny Pacquiao…

    His legacy will always be tarnished by these facts
    =================================================

    HE WANTED TO FIGHT SHANE IN THE 90′S AND SHANE IS THE ONE WHO DUCKED NOW SHANES OLD N WANTS A BIG PAY DAY, HE RETIRED AROUND THE TIME MARG WAS DOIN HIS THING, AND HE HAS NOT HAD A CHANCE TO FIGHT PAC YET. BUT HE DOES NEED TO FIGHT THESE PEOPLE NOW TO GET RESPECT! (EVEN FROM ME)

  • Txhustla15

    @ snoop bloggy blog – What up kin, yeah floyd has bad issues with Pac’s manager Bob Arum since waay back so thats really one of things holding the fight back but the impending purse should get everyone to the table. Yeah nobody wants P.Williams even Kelly Pavlik dropped out …

  • Txhustla15

    cant say n-o-b-o-d-y ? smh , yeah yall seriously need help with yall filtration system, i wont charge you that much…

    =================================================

    OF COURSE HE HAS TO TALK TO MANAGEMENT THE CONTRACT HAS TO BE TALKED OUT AND IT HAS TO BE NEGOTIATED. FLOYS HAS BEEF WITH BOB ARUM ALSO. DO U KNOW THE PROCEDURES TO BOOK A PPV FIGHT? MOST PEOPLE JUST TALK WITH NO SENSE! THEY JUST ASKED PAC (AFTER THIS FIGHT) DOES HE WANT TO FIGHT FLOYD AND HE DIDNT RESPOND!

  • tony

    Can’t wait to see the looks on people’s faces when Pacman smashes big mouth. Just can’t wait!!

  • Rome A.K.A. ( I punish workplace snitches! oh I’ll get cha)!!!!! lmao

    Pac -man don’t want no parts of “Money”. trust me….the Cotto fight was a good fight don’t get me wrong because Pac-man “got-off” only. Cotto barely beat Zab Judah. Now people think that Pac-Man can beat money?…….puhlease. I like Pac-man but I can’t wait for “Money” to whip his a**!

  • joeydawolf

    pac-man vs. mayweather would b a clash of boxing titans it has everything to easily become a epic fight…so far as ducking opponents, mayweather isnt no idiot blessed with the gift to throw hands. mayweather is business savvy and margarito vs.mayweather would have been dull and dangerous which n the boxing world is a no-no….dela hoya/mayweather made sense along with boku dollars…mayweather/mosley u avoid up until those digits get ridiculous, only then does mayweather take the fight…pac-man doesnt duck fights he fights anybody,anywhere,anytime…pac-man is that guy u look at and have no fear whatsoever,then bam ‘YO FACE SWOLL’i think the fight happens spring 2010 pac-man winning by KO 8th round….any longer than that and prettty boy breaks him down n the championship rounds…winning by split decision

  • white male

    He’s scared to say your name and you’re scared to fight him.

  • jtwista

    lol he is hela funny fareal

  • nola

    pac-man is a good fighter but he aint a good boxer…mayweather is gonna kill dude…he can’t pull them wide punches like he did with cotto…mayweather to quick for that, defense is too good too…mayweather all the way!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com Jericho

    TO FLOYD AND PACMAN : LET’S ALL TALK IN THE RING.
    AND WIN THE BRAGGING RIGHTS OVER WHO IS THE BEST P4P. UNTIL THEN, ALL THE B.Ss MAY SHUT THEIR MOUTHS.

    YOU ALL HAVE YOUR POINTS OF ARGUMENT. AND NEITHER SIDE WILL ALLOW TO BE INFERIOR TO THE OTHER. SO, LET US WAIT, AND PLEASE LET’S MAKE THIS MATCH HAPPEN.

  • memphodude

    I don’t like Mayweather because the nigg is too arrogant. But if the two of them ever make it to the ring I think Floyd’s speed will overcome Pac’s abilities. Pac is fast but his speed is nothing compared to little boy Floyd. Floyd is so good with countering off any boxer’s mistake til where it ends up frustrating the opponent into losing his focus of the game plan. Although i would love to see Pac swell Floyd’s lips so big til where we wouldn’t hear from him for over a year, my gut just don’t see it happening.

  • QUEEN

    PRETTY BOY FLOYD IS FINE!!! 4RM THA QUEEN

  • Redd Tony

    Awww shut up b!+ch boy Floyd!!!

  • Truth Hurts

    All i know is I got money on Pac-Man if it happens

  • BLACK-A-RIFICK

    i got $500 on money may

  • Jamdown

    Are you sure this is site is black run?? Or are you guys as fake as BET!!!

  • malina

    Txhustla15..and BLACK-A-RIFICK..thank goodness we have ppl on here who actually know what they are talking about..most of these so-called boxing fans dont know anything about the history..Mayweather called out Mosley in 1999/2003/2006..even HBO had the money put up for the fight and Mosley backed out..and Pacquiao turned down Mosley to fight a slower Cotto..Pacquiao knew Mosley was a risk..
    these “fans” dont know how Mayweather was the smaller fighter at 130 moving up fighting bigger opponents..defeating P4P ranked fighters like Corrales/Castillo/Judah/Chop Chop..or how he racked up titles defeating Baldomir/Gatti/Ndou..ect…and they definately dont know how Pacquiao was Knocked Out twice in his career and Knocked down even more..or how he was outboxed and loss to Morales just 4 years ago..how he actually loss to Marquez in both fights..coming out with a draw and a one point decision win in the rematch due to a 10-8 round just 2 years ago..so if you dont know the history of boxing or the history of the fighters dont comment on it..as far as the fight goes..
    Floyd wins by decision..Pacman has speed..but Floyd is a defensive counter puncher..he has a throwback style like Pernell Whitaker or Willie Pep..an ability that he has mastered to evade punches..and land a high connect rate..that will give Pacman promblems..hes used to fighting slower opponents that stand in front and come forward..and most of them are weight-drained fighting at a nonsense catch weight..but at 147 Floyd will pick him off every round.

  • BEE

    Man Floyd hasnt ducked no one go back in boxing history floyd called out mosley and de la hoya in 1999 and in 2000 on live tv, mosley declined on live tv its on youtube check it out and floyd will make manny look like he made marques look. ill put big doe on that.

    talkin bout pacman and floyd pacman will spank him like a lil kid ..and if Prince naseem was still there he’d knock both them out in Styleeeeee

  • Mojoboko

    Why is he always running his mouth.

  • http://yahoo joaquin

    truly pacman does not need to call floyd out, floyd needs pacman. … money mayweather is envious that another fighter is getting the praise and admiration he really desires. Pacman has earned his fans and stature in boxing, floyd hasnt. We the fans decide whom is great and right now its all manny, floyds having another tantrum because manny didnt give him his milk by calling him out. make this fight happen 2010 !

  • Las Vegas Jimmy

    Floyd Gonna Make Mrs. Pac Man Look like a Braud..

  • just because

    Pacman is gonna gonna sew floyds mouth shut after he gets his as* BEAT!

  • Lake City

    Floyd Mayweather is a PUNK if he has enough heart as he says he do then he will fight a real fighter.

  • balaramesh

    the young hungry mayweather used to fight the best dudes out. now, by no means would mayweather fight mosely, cotto, williams or pacman. floyd is looking as the easiest big payday out. no more no less.

    anyone of the guys above would eat floyds little punches and just walk him down since he could NOT hurt anyone of them. now five years ago, mayweather could have beat pacman. but now pacman is a much stronger and better defensive fighter than before.

    i could never put floyd in the same class as whitaker, de la hoya, hopkins ect. they fought the best and toughest guys out there period.

  • balaramesh

    mayweather is going to eventually be roy jones. he was so great and by the time his superior skills erode and he actually faces tougher fighters, he will be getting knocked out. all because he never pushed himself to the limit BEFORE the prime of his career and he was not used to taking big punches.

  • Ty

    Floyd needs to stop yapping his mouth. Pacman is all class.

  • Do Much

    No matter who Mayweather beat the critics are gonna find something to say. Mayweather is one if not the most smartest fighter to ever play the sport of boxing. You cant hate on the dude for the way he promotes himself. No matter what you think of him good or bad the end result is he’s on your mind and thats what promotion is all about. If you pay to see his fight in hopes that he gets beat. (you still putting money in his pocket.) So hate if you want Money May is the pound for pound best boxer there is and he will have his name in the books. And at the top of the charts. Boxing is not just a sport for him but also a damn good business for him.

  • http://www.SoldieressChronicles.com Soldieress Chronicles

    I predict Pacman winning. Sorry Mayweather!

  • Killjoy

    If you know anything about the filipino culture they are by far the most humble and respectful human beings. its not in mannys nature to brag or boast. He does all his boasting when he is beating that @SS

    I’ll fight u maywheather and kick your ass!

  • http://fawker.us/2009/12/23/true-or-false-pacman-scared-to-get-drug-tested/ True or False, Pacman Scared To Get Drug-Tested? |

    [...] Is Manny Pacquiao really refusing to undergo drug testing before his fight with Floyd Mayweather??? [...]

  • KuntryChick

    Maybe Floyd is scared? Maybe its a tactic? But the fact is, you called the man out so take the freakin blood test. How you scared of needles or blood when you beat the blood out of men for a living. Maybe Pac Man is standing his ground and not falling for Floyds scare tactics? Maybe Pac Man have a dirty little secret? But the fact is, you called the man out so why you stalling? This will be one of the biggest sports events in 2010. The biggest unless ol Tiger decide to come out of hiding and play in the PGA tour. So let’s quit the stalling. I wanna see a blood bath.

  • LLewis

    What we have here is a failure to communicate. They are two styles of boxing going on here Floyd is a BOXER he’s going to box to win on the score card. He hits you, to move and set you up for his jab. Later on in the rounds he uses his superb speed to counter the opponent. He’s bigger, faster and his reach is longer so its going to be hard on Pac to get close to him. On the other side of the coin Pac is a fighter he makes it a point to get close to fighters to hurt them every way possible. If I had to call the fight May wins by split decision.
