WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. offers no joy for fight fans who still desperately want to see the undefeated boxer cross gloves with Pinoy Idol Manny Pacquiao, the WBO welterweight king. During a recent interview, a direct question was asked by writer Kevin Davis of boxingsocialist.com, as to what Mayweather would do if Pacquiao pushed his promoter, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, to initiate the negotiations process.
The answer, as seen below, is a non-answer with Mayweather heaping praise on Top Rank execs Todd and Dena DuBoef, and waxing enthusiastically about how Mayweather Promotions can work with Top Rank when the near 80-year-old Arum is off the scene.
"First off, I can't wait until Todd Duboef is running the company, He and Dena Duboef are truly great people, professional. I can't wait until he takes over just so we can have dinner and talk about working together. Those rumors in the past about money being offered to me, not true, How can you offer me a deal when I'm the A-side? We make the offers," Mayweather said.
"We tell you what were going to give you, and you can take it or you don't have to. We're the A-side. If Floyd Mayweather tell you he's going to make 50 million, he's probably going to make 70 million, after a fight there is no telling on how much I really make. Am I going to be the highest paid athlete at the end of the year, most likely."
