Floyd Mayweather Post Fight Interview Controversy

I believe that Kellerman instigated the incident that happened between Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley at the post fight interview after the Marquez fight. It appeared to me that Kellerman had an agenda here. I believe his intention was to try to put Mayweather on the spot and diminish his performance by bringing up the two pound stipulation that was in the contract and tried to imply that was part of the reason why he dominated Marquez.. He tried to upstage Mayweather even further by mentioning Mosley's name whom he knew was standing close by.

I think you're dead on with this one, brother. This is why I've subbed to your vids. Kellerman is a huge TOOL.

Many other fighters have given tough interviews in the past. Does everyone forget the classic verbal battles between Ali and Cossell, Toney and Jim Gray, and Tyson and Jim Gray. Never was the mic pulled away or the interview cut short. The fighter is the star of the interview not the commentator. People pay to see the Mayweather not Kellerman. Mayweather generated over 1 million PPV buys not Kellerman. It's a fact.

who the fuck is Mayweather..he is not even the champion..what gives him the right to demand shit!!!That is why Mike Wilbon of ESPN Sporstcenter who is black by the way, calls Mayweather >>a COWARD>>>a fucking coward!!!! he is calling his own people a coward...Nobody with authority calls Pacquiao a coward..how is that???

@m1ndtr1p

So fast forward to now, he's trying to get Pacquiao to take random blood tests before the fight... Why? Because Pacquiao doesn't like needles. The last time he had to take a blood test a day before a fight, he was feeling sick, he wasn't his best and THAT's what Floyd is counting on, again, trying to gain an unfair advantage over his opponent.

Who is Floyd to demand those tests be done? He's not the boxing commission, he has absolutely no authority at all. He's just scared of Pac.

@m1ndtr1p

Furthermore, Floyd picks and chooses his fights carefully, and if you look into his past, he's always tried to have an advantage over his opponents one way or another, otherwise, he ducks any opponent that would pose a challenge to him... He couldn't do this with Cotto, he dodged him until he had no choice but to fight him, but he "retired" instead... Then he comes back to take on an older, heavier Marquez with this stipulation in the contract which didn't make sense...

Cont...

[m1ndtr1p]

How did Kellerman instigate anything? By asking if there's a possible fight between 2 fighters? That's his godamn job, Hopkins started the conflict by opening his mouth (as he always does), not Kellerman...

This is completely ridiculous, Kellerman isn't responsible for what either of the fighters say during the interview, he's there for one reason, to interview the fighters, and that's what he did, he asked a legitimate question about a stipulation that usually isn't on contracts...

Cont...

I totally agree dude. Good vid and video recollection at the beginning. I was like why is everyone on Shane when he said like one sentence and he was already in the ring because of the promotion LOL. Kellerman and Bernard the little "lethal weapon tag team" instigated that blow up.

[DEBONAIRMAN]

I see where you are coming from; that is a fair observation, regarding the instigation. Max Kellerman has a tendency to do things like that; this is not the first time where I have seen a fighter get agitated with him in a post fight interview. Basically, it would have been better for Shane to have gone in there by himself without Hopkins, as everything went sour once Bernard put his two cents in. I am not a big fan of Floyd's fighting decisions either however I agree with your point here.

Idiot! the most brainless pussy that ive ever seen!

[Haplotype0]

@delsega You made an ass out of yourself asking that question. You proved that you don't know much of anything about boxing. Lesson 1: Mosely and Hopkins are PARTNERS in GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS. They promoted the fight between May and Marquez. That's why they're in the ring after the fight. When have I ever heard of Mosley promoting a fight? EVERY SINGLE TIME THERE'S a FIGHT WITH GOLDEN BOY involved. You are truly a dumbass, LMAO>

[Haplotype0]

@delsega IDIOT, he's a promoter. Stick to hooked on Phonics fool.

Serious question here. Floyd has said he weighed the same as Pacquiao at 16 yrs old. Does anybody have any video footage of Mayweather Jr. throughout his career, so we can see his muscle development and compare to Manny. There suspiciously is a short supply of videos of Floyd from his early career. I am beginning to think there may be reason to suspect Floyd of roids as well. Where are the videos of Floyd so we can decide for ourselves?
