PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON ESPN MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT

 

Lou DIBELLA

Thank you very much for joining us for this call for the PBC on ESPN show on August 1 từ Trung tâm Barclays ở Brooklyn. The show will be live on primetime on ESPN on Saturday, 01 Tháng Tám, với bảo hiểm bắt đầu từ 9:00 pm ET/6:00 pm PT.

 

The main event of the evening is Danny “Nhanh” Garcia against Paulie Malignaggi. The opening fight is a middleweight title bout between Danny Jacobs and Sergio Mora.

 

Tháng tám 1 is the second PBC card on ESPN and the first one is going to be Keith Thurman against Brooklyn’s Luis Collazo. That’s going to be on July 11th in Tampa, Florida.

 

Tickets for August 1 có giá $250, $150, $75 và $45 và được bán ngay bây giờ. They’re available atwww.barclayscenter.com, www.ticketmaster.com, at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Để sạc bằng điện thoại, you can call Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000 or to get group tickets from Barclays Center, 800-GROUPBK.

 

The opening bout is a terrific fight. Danny Jacobs is an inspirational fighter but also a super talented middleweight that’s risen to championship stature and holds the belt. He’ll fight at Barclays Center for the fourth time.

 

Danny rise from cancer to vie over the champion has been well documented. But frankly, at this point, he’s beaten that illness and he wants to focus to be on his boxing career and on being the best he can be and he’s taking on a huge challenge on August 1 in Sergio Mora, legitimately one of the best middleweight contenders out there and known very well as the winner of NBC’s “The Contender” Series a number of years ago. Sergio is a former world champion at super welterweight, looking to add a middleweight crown to his resume.

 

He owns victories over Ishe Smith, Peter Manfredo Jr. và Vernon Forrest và bước vào cuộc chiến này trên một năm chiến thắng streak. And he most recently defeated Abraham Han in February of this year on ESPN.

 

So first, I’ll let Sergio Mora say a few words before we go to the champion.

 

Sergio Mora

Hey, kẻ. Tốt, I’m excited to be fighting on my first PBC card. It’s been a long time coming. The last time I fought for a world title was seven years ago and I was able to defeat Vernon Forrest as a 4-1 underdog.

 

I think I’m going to be an underdog for this fight again, fighting the younger, stronger champion in his hometown. So defeating him is going to be tough with all the cards stacked against me and that’s something that I grown used to and accustomed to.

 

There’s nothing bad I can say about Daniel Jacobs, absolutely nothing. I look for something negative to say and I can’t. The guy has overall talent. He’s far younger, nhanh hơn, stronger and hits harder than me and he has more momentum coming his way. He’s on a nine-fight win streak and he beats me in that as well. I have five-fight going for me.

 

But the thing that I can say is that he hasn’t faced opposition that I faced. I think he’s an emotional, athletic fighter. I’m a cerebral, intelligent, strategic fighter.

 

This is going to be a really exciting card because he’s in his hometown and defending the world title. I’m hungry for that world title and I know that I’m going to have to be extra sharp and do a lot more than just have a close victory in his hometown. So I’m going to have to press action and go out of my comfort zone and I think he’s going to have to go out of his comfort zone, which is going to make an interesting fight for everybody.

 

I’m very confident coming into this fight. I’m very happy on the team that I’m with now and this opportunity. I’ve always wanted to fight in Brooklyn. I always wanted to fight in a mega arena like Barclays Center. I’m blessed to have this opportunity and part of this PBC movement. Cảm ơn bạn.

 

L. DIBELLA

 

Cảm ơn bạn, Sergio.

 

And now to the champion, Riêng của Brooklyn, Danny Jacobs.

 

Daniel Jacobs

 

Tốt, after Sergio’s intro, what more can I say? That’s pretty cool.

 

I’m excited to have an opportunity to be back at Barclays Center a second time around as a champion. So this will be my second title defense. It’ll be against the most experienced guy I’ve faced thus far. I’m looking forward to testing my challenge against this slick, crafty veteran in Sergio Mora.

 

I’ve always said that I’m just trying to get that experience most importantly. It’s important to me as a young champion, I’m not where I want to be as a fighter thus far. You’re still growing, you’re still learning. I’m looking at this as just a really starting test. I’m trying to really gain as much experience as I can in fighting such a crafty, slick veteran.

 

He’s been in this position before. Như vậy, he’s already accustomed to being in this position and being an underdog but I can’t take him lightly even though he will be an underdog and even though people will pick me as a favor to win. I’m looking at him as the most devastating opponent that I’ve had thus far coming up to middleweight.

 

So there’s not a lot of fear as far as power is concerned but where he lacks that he makes up in his craftiness and his slickness and awkwardness and sometimes he does engage in the action as well. So I’m looking forward to it. It’s really a starting test but something that I’ve been preparing for a while of any camp even though I’ve been working and doing my broadcasting which I’m very happy to announce. I’ve been keeping in the gym. I’ve been keeping fit and I’m really looking forward to this test and have it at Barclays I think there’s not a better place in the world I have. So I’m looking forward to testing my skills against a crafty veteran.

 

Q

I’d like both of you to address when you receive this negative attention on Twitter and such, how do you deal with it and what’s your response to it.

 

S. Mora

Tốt, listen, I’ve been dealing with this negative criticism for my entire career. It’s something that followed me. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a reality show winner or because people hate the way that I go in to fight and I can’t knock people out. I’m sorry I wasn’t born with power. You need to be born with power. If I have a way where I can ingest power and knock out and what people want to see into my arsenal, then I’ll do it, but I can’t. I was born the way I’m born. I got to do what I can with my abilities.

 

I think I’ve come a long way with all the other athletes that lack power and I think that makes me an even better fighter. It made me evolve into a different type of boxer. So these are the things that boxing needs to understand and the fight fans need to understand that, “Được rồi, tốt, listen, he’s fighting a guy with a lot of power but how come the guy with no power is actually doing better than the guy with power? Because this is the sweet science and that’s how I become a champion.

 

So it doesn’t bother me. I just continue educating people about the sweet science and letting them know that power is not the number one aspect you need to be successful it’s your agility, techniques, your defense, body shots, the strategy, it’s following that strategy it’s hard.

 

So I’m happy to answer those questions for people that don’t know. But people that do know, get over it.

 

Q

Danny, what about you responding to people who want you to fight Golovkin? That say he isn’t tough enough, how do you deal with that stuff?

 

D. Jacobs

I’ve learned since my return back. I’ve got a lot of criticism on my positionwhy I’ve been facing people who wanted me to step up, people who wanted me to get in position to fight who they want me to fight. I’m passed that point. Now what I care about – tốt, not to the extent where I don’t care about what the fans think but, if you support me, I look at it as, you understand the process, you understand that it’s not going to come when you wanted to come and if you’re a fan of the sport and if you’re a fan of myself, then you just go along with the journey.

 

I want to step up. I want to be able to get in there with the best of the best. Nhưng rõ ràng, with everything going on in the sport of boxing right now, I’m not really in control of certain things, Bạn có biết. I may control who I step in there with but to a certain degree. So I really don’t tend to get into things like that. I do what I do. I stay ready. As a champion, I conduct myself inside and out of the ring. Whoever I’m in there with I give my best. If you are a fan of the sport, then you’re going to like the fights regardless. It’s all about putting on a show. That’s what I’ve been doingI felt like I’ve been put in good fights.

 

Q

Is it a challenge for you that you want to take on to be the first person to stop Sergio Mora or is it pretty important for you to finally go the distance to go 12 vòng?

 

D. Jacobs

I’d essentially wanted to go 12-rounds with Truax. I intentionally wanted to go 12-rounds with Truax. Because I felt like I could stop him a little bit earlier, maybe like in the 6th round but it was something that I wanted to prove to myself and knowing that I can go a full strong 12 rounds is something that I’m very confident with now and I feel like I’m answering my question. Như vậy, the test with Sergio Mora iswhether that he can be stopped or whether or not I can go the distance with him, he’s never been stopped before, so it will be icing on the cake to be able to not only to defeat him but to stop him in the match.

 

Nhưng, he’s a crafty veteran and if I can take a win over a guy like that, a win is a win to me. But at the end of the day, what the fans want to see is knockouts. What the fans want is spectacular fights. So my thing is if we could just produce a fantastic fight and a competitive fight, I’m content with that. A knockout is just icing on the cake. But it’s something that I’m looking for but if it happens, I’m pretty sure I know how to get the job done.

 

Q

What do you think about his boxing skills? How do they match up with yours especially over the course of a 12-round fight?

 

S. Mora

That was a great question you asked Danny, bằng cách này. I think he answered perfectly. I would want to knock someone out like me, Bạn có biết, because it puts something on your resume that Vernon Forrest and Sugar Shane Mosley, two Hall of Fame greats haven’t been able to do. So that was a great question.

 

Giống như tôi đã nói, I think he possess everything that I don’t. But I have the experience. I think I take a better shot from experience with Danny and I think I follow my game plan more than Danny. A lot of boxers especially a lot of young athletic fighters they go out of their game plan and once they see that it’s not working. As a veteran, I know that it’s not working initially.

 

There’s a beginning, a midgame and an end game, kind of like in chess. But you just got to stick to what you practiced and don’t go out of your element and normally things go well for me. That’s how I’m going to continue doing.

 

Tất nhiên, I’ve changed some things in my strategy. I’ve changed some things in my arsenal and the way I see opponents and I go about it. But ultimately, it’s still Sergio Morastill the guy that has that ability to upset a champion and that’s who’s going to be fighting August 1st.

 

Q

Can you talk about your perspective on having it been a long time since you were at this level in terms of a belt being available to you?

 

S. Mora

Tốt, anyone who’s been around the game for more than ten years or not even then. Anyone who’s been around the game will know that this is a political game. And if you’re not with the right side, you’re on the wrong side. And then even if you are on the right side, there’s another side I think that are right and they’re going to be butting heads.

 

Very political business and I think I turned a lot of people off when I fought Shane Mosley and an uneventful fight but I took all the blame for that and then after that, I was forced to go to Texas to fight a Texan. And I came up short against Brian Vera and then that just really hurt my career.

 

I was getting all the bad media, I wasn’t getting the right offers and that’s a good reason why fighters retire because they don’t have the offers coming in and it can be really depleting and depressing. I decided to go back to the drawing board and start off with a new team, have a new focus and I realized the change in the boxing as well, the same people that were in charge of courts in 2010, 2012, they’re not in charge anymore. There are new players in the game, there are new dates in the game and there’s new opportunity.

 

So because of all this new stuff that’s been added to the world of boxing, a person like myself has been able to make the comeback and I’m in a really good place and I am appreciative.

 

Q

Sergio, do you feel that you get a bit of a bad wrap?

 

S. Mora

In my head, in my stubborn, ignorant head, I’m undefeated. I thought I beat Brian Vera both of those times and I beat Vernon Forrest the first time. He beat me the second time. That’s an even draw, Bạn có biết. So in a way, no one has really dominated, no one has really beat me convincingly. So in my head, I’m undefeated. There’s no rubber match to see who really has more wins over the other guy. But in reality, Vernon beat me the second time, I beat him the first time.

 

It’s a crazy business. People are waiting for you to just come down.

 

Q

So when you take a look at Danny’s record, what is your take on what he’s accomplished or what you think of his ability?

 

S. Mora

Tốt, exactly what you guys thought. I think with special talent and he got a piece of a world championship and he’s recognized as a champion. Như vậy, everything that people thought of him came true. Now that he’s on top, he needs to fight top fighters. I don’t think he’s faced the opposition that I faced and other champions have faced. Tôi nghĩ đó là điều duy nhất mà anh ta giới hạn trong.

 

Vì vậy, tôi sẽ là tên tốt nhất về lý lịch của mình và chúng tôi sẽ xem làm thế nào anh ta sẽ có thể xử lý một chàng trai như xảo quyệt như tôi và một cựu vô địch như bản thân mình. Vì vậy, nó là một chút của sự thành công cho anh ta và nó là tốt nhất đối với tôi chiến đấu với một thanh niên, champ đói.

 

Q

Khi bạn xem qua hồ sơ của bạn của đối thủ bạn phải đối mặt trong sự nghiệp của bạn cho đến nay, does he poses perhaps the most formidable test of your career given his experience and his crafty nature?

 

D. Jacobs

Tốt, tuyệt đối, coming into this thing I even said that I mentioned that he’s the most experienced fighter that I will be stepping in the ring with. The former world champion, beating the likes of Vernon Forrest, Shane Mosley, a couple other guys. He has that experience. He knows what it is to go the distance. He knows what it is to be in a dogfight. I’m a young champion and I haven’t seen those things thus far, đúng, Bạn có biết.

 

I’m content – tốt, not content but, I’m okay with the fact that I have fought those guys, those topnotch but that’s what I’m looking forward to is a ladder. You can’t skip the ladder. You can’t skip any steps, or you’ll fall.

 

So we take in a step by the time and we stepping up and every time you’re going to see great opposition. I’m just looking forward to this one. I don’t take him lightly whatsoever. I clearly mark him as one of the toughest, craftiest most experienced guy that I have faced.

 

Q

Daniel, what is going to be the thing that gets you over the top and helps you win this fight?

 

D. Jacobs

I don’t know what will be the main thing. But I feel like I have a lot more advantages than he does in the fight. But whatever my advantages are and whatever gets me going, will be the deciding factor for me I would stick to. So if it’s my speed, then I’ll stick to using my speed. If it’s my power, backing him down, showing him what a real middleweight feels like, then that’s what I would do.

 

But it’s all about adjusting and getting in there because, Bạn có biết, not a lot of things may work according to the game plan. So you got to go to Plan B, Plan C and so on and so forth. So I’m just looking forward to seeing what works for me, figuring it out because it is a puzzle, it is a chess game when you fight a guy like Sergio and just making it work. I think that’s what a true champion does is just adjust and get the job done.

 

Q

What are you doing in training camp to get away from that label of spoiler and be directly concentrated on winning that title from Danny Jacobs?

 

S. Mora

Vâng. I’ve been labeled the spoiler. I’ve been labeled a lot of names that I actually consider as a good thing, Bạn có biết. You could see it as positive or negative. You come in the positive things that I’m going to go in there, I’m going to spoil Danny Jacobsplans and spoil his promotion plan and spoiler for the fans is the negative that I’m going to come in and win. I decided to go in therewhen the fight with Mosley and Vera, I decided to change my style a bit and I actually engaged a little bit more and be a little bit more offensive and take more chances to go for the knockout. But I think I’ve done that. Bạn biết, in my last five fights, I knocked down three of my opponents. So I’ve kept my word and I got this opportunity to fight for a world title again.

 

With Danny, I’m going to do the same. I’m going to try to go out there and do the same thing that got me into this position. I’m showing them that I can be and I can be crafty. I mostly want to let them know that, “Hey, listen, I got this other side to my game too that I added to that slickness and that craftiness.Danny also mentioned, if that’s not working, then I got to go to Plan B and C. I’m going to give him different looks just like he’s going to give me. But I’m an excited former champion and waiting to be a new champion August 1st.

 

Q

Talk about the kinds of sparring partners you have into camp.

 

S. Mora

Vâng, I like to have heavier sparring partners, harder punching sparring partners. But it’s not about the power because me and my sparring partners aren’t going to go in there and hit me with that power. So I like hitting guys with slickness, with speed, just in case Danny comes in there and he shows me a different style, I got to be ready for that. So I got younger guys, stronger guys, powerful guys, big guys, elusive guys and I like to mix it up.

 

Q

You’re a tremendous fighter, and the same time, you are great announcer, can you talk about seeing that light at the end of the tunnel and a career after boxing?

 

D. Jacobs

Tốt, thank you sir I really, really appreciate that. To answer your question, vâng, đó là kế hoạch trò chơi. To be able to talk and give my side on a national level. So one opportunity I don’t take for granted that I’m enjoying doing is giving me a different perspective on a sport that I love. And it’s something that it can set me up for the rest of my life as something to do post-boxing. Nhưng, obviously not straying away from the main task at hand, boxing obviously is what I love to do and just the forefront. So I’m 110% focused on what we’re doing actually inside the ring.

 

But on my spare time in between fights, it’s something that I also like to do and stay busy. But the most part is just building the brand. Đó là những gì chúng tôi đang làm. We’re building the Danny Jacobs brand and I’m having fun doing it but I’m taking it seriously because, Bạn có biết, boxing is a very short road and I’m going to fall back on this as well.

 

So just trying to take everything serious and trying to give the best that I have and seeing that it’s been working thus far. So God has definitely blessed me and I’m just looking forward to everything in the near future. This opportunity to fight Sergio is a heck of an opportunity for me in my mind. I think it’s one heck of a step-up as well.

 

So I’m just looking forward to what life has in store for me and my career in the future.

 

L. DIBELLA

We’re going to move on to the main event of the evening right now. But once again, this is Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN from Barclays Center on August 1. It’s primetime in ESPN, coverage beginning at 9:00 pm ET/6:00 pm PT. Tickets are from $250 down to $45 available at BarclaysCenter.com, Ticketmaster.com, the Box Office at Barclays or by calling Ticketmaster or calling Barclays Center.

 

The main event is a classic Philadelphia versus Brooklyn matchup, featuring two of boxing’s biggest stars. And it’s a must-win situation for both fighters when Danny “Nhanh” Garcia takes on Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi. Đó là 12 rounds at welterweight at 147 pounds.

 

Interestingly, both of these fighters participated at Barclays Center inaugural boxing card in 2012.

 

Danny Garcia, the former Unified Welterweight Champion, made five defenses Junior Welterweight Champion, made five defenses of his belt. It’ll mark Danny’s official move up to welterweight and his fifth appearance at Barclays Center. On his last fight, he had a really tough win and a really hard-fought fight with Lamont Peterson.

 

Ngày 1, he has his hands full with Paulie Malignaggi, former Welterweight and Junior Welterweight World Champion, có một kỷ lục 33-6. It’s Paulie’s fourth fight at Barclays Center. He defeated Pablo Cesar Cano and Zab Judah there and he lost close split decision to Adrien Broner.

 

Paulie, do you want to start by saying a few words?

 

Paulie Malignaggi

Cảm ơn bạn, Lou. Vâng, I’m just really feeling blessed to have the opportunity. It was an opportunity that I didn’t see coming my way after pulling out of the O’Connor fight earlier in the summer and then now trying to back up into the fall. I’m just really trying to sit back and enjoy the summer more so than training and whatnot.

 

This kind of opportunity just fell into my lap. It was unexpected. But I’m all about competing against the best. As surprised that I was, it was also an opportunity I couldn’t say no to. It’s a chance to, be back in the main spotlight with that kind of a fight, be at the forefront which are the kind of fights that I crave, anyway, and the kind of fights that really get my adrenaline flowing and get me motivated.

 

I’m fighting one of the best fighters in the world today at any weight. Like Danny Garcia, it’s a motivation to test myself against the best. I always want to test myself against the best, and so here I am.

 

L. DIBELLA

Cảm ơn bạn, Paulie. Danny “Nhanh” Garcia, still undefeated, 30-0 với 17 Kos. Danny?

 

Danny Garcia

How are you guys doing? Đầu tiên, I want to say good afternoon to everybody. I hope everybody is having a good day. Thanks for having me on this conference call.

 

Tháng tám 1st this is going to be another great night at Barclays Center. It’s my fifth fight there and my first fight at 147. So I feel like this is a great matchup, phong cách, to the fans all around the world.

 

Come August 1st, I’m going to be ready. I’m working hard. Tôi đang tập luyện chăm chỉ. I can’t wait to get in there, showcase my skills and in the weight class.

 

Q

How do you feel, Danny, now moving up to welter?

 

D. Garcia

Nó cảm thấy tuyệt vời. For the first time in a long time, I could worry about training to get better and not training to lose weight. I’ve been fighting at 140 my whole career.

 

I just feel felt like losing the weight was affecting my performances, mostly in the later rounds of big fights because I will use a lot of my energy losing weight. I think I’m just going toI’ve been feeling a lot stronger and a lot better at 147. I think I should have been moved up maybe after the Mattysse fight.

 

But I’m here now and I feel good. Tôi cảm thấy mạnh mẽ. Tôi đang tập luyện chăm chỉ. And we’re working on new things just to get faster and stronger at 147.

 

Q

Did the weight loss hurt you against Lamont Peterson you think?

 

D. Garcia

I’m not making any excuses. He had a good game plan. I just didn’t feel strong at that weight class anymore.

 

Trước, when I hit guys, I could feel the power going through my arms. And when I land a shot, I knew I would hurt them. I just didn’t feel strong at the weight class no more. I just felt like I was hurt myself. I just didn’t feel as strong at 140 anymore.

 

Q

Paulie, just talk about getting back in the ring after the Porter fight and this opportunity for you.

 

P. Malignaggi

I feel blessed just to get the opportunity and to get a chance to continue to test myself against one of the best fighters in the world.

 

You get to the point when you’re not in the ring for a while. It’s going through my mind that maybe I don’t want to fight. But as time went by and I started working out again, I started realizing that it was something I missed. It was something I was still craving. I wanted to be back in there.

 

Năm nay, đặc biệt, has been different than a lot of years. I’ve always had my fight and then I’ve gone right back into just hanging out. I’ve spent almost the entire year in the gym. And I’ve been able to balance it out with all my travel with my commentating. I was in Sadam Ali’s camp for his fight.. I went right into my own training camp for Danny O’Connor and I got cut just two weeks before that scheduled fight. Then I got a call for this fight not long after that.

 

I’ve spent a large chunk of the year in the gym, which is something that hasn’t happened in a long time. And I feel sharp before that. If we’re going to talk about the layoff, people are going to talk about the fact that, I haven’t fought for a long time. But in reality, I actually haven’t trained this consistently in a decade, I mean literally a decade. Since I fought Miguel Cotto, I started making pretty good money after that and I haven’t stayed all year in the gym. Trước đó, I was in the gym all year, Bạn có biết.

 

I didn’t even mean to do it by design. It’s not like I said, “Oh, năm nay, I’m going to spend the whole year in the gym.I didn’tit’s not something I planned. It’s just something that ended up happening going from one camp into another camp, into another camp. And I guess it’s just an accident.

 

But I do feel the sharpness in a gym. I do feel the timing is really good. Obviously my weight has come down. Như vậy, that’s a good feeling knowing that I have to drop a lot of weight during the training camp just working on the sharpness and keep getting better.

 

Q

Was there ever any serious consideration about retiring after the Porter fight or was that just suddenly flowing around out there?

 

P. Malignaggi

It wasn’t even something I considered. It was just something that I felt like I was going to do, Bạn có biết. I just felt like, I don’t really want to do this, in the time, the way I felt, where my mind was at. And it was just something I didn’t want to do anymore.

 

So I think that’s probably the best thing that happened to me in terms of thinking it like that. Not talking about the loss, but in terms of my mindset in that moment was probably the best thing because if you start to tell yourself you’re going to have a layoff and you’re going to come back, in the back of your mind, you’re never going to take that time off the right way. You’re going to be thinking about you should be back in a gym or when is the right time to get back in the gym.

 

But because I wasn’t thinking that, I was just thinking, “Bạn biết gì, Tôi đa xong,” I gave myself plenty of time to kind of rejuvenate a little bit before I got back in the gym. And then I just decided, “Hey, you know what, I miss this. I want to get back in the gym.

 

So I think the change of my mind was probably a good thing as opposed to just telling myself, “Bạn biết gì, I’m going to take some time off and then come back.I really didn’t think I was going to come back. So when I took the time off, it was really like a time that I was legitimately, trong suy nghĩ của tôi, feeling rested and got myself rejuvenated without even realizing it. And then by the time I got back in the gym, it was like to try rebuilding a new me, vậy để nói chuyện.

 

Q

Did you think that this might be too much of a stepup after you’re going to be fighting Danny O’Connor after the long layoff?

 

P. Malignaggi

I was actually surprised. Đầu tiên, I didn’t realize Danny was actually going to move to welter right away. I figured like he was having trouble making the junior welterweight limit. But I had heard rumblings that he still wanted to stay a junior welter for a little longer.

 

I was surprised just in general that he’s moving to welterweight. And then I was surprised, coming off the layoff, I thought maybe that we’ll get somebody else, instead of me to fight Danny.

 

When I got the call, Tôi đã rất ngạc nhiên. But it was almost like pleasantly surprised. And not because I don’t respect Danny because I do, I got a lot of respect for Danny and family and his father and everything, but I’m a competitor. I haven’t had a big fight in over a year. So it’s just like, một, this is an opportunity for me to kind of put myself back in the mix with one really good performance as opposed to slowly getting back in the mix over the course of three, four fights.

 

I’m 34-years-old. I’m not 24. So I don’t really have that kind of patience anymore. Đồng thời, when I got the call, I also realized how good I had felt in the gym sparring and how good I’ve been feeling in the gym just getting shaped or whatnot. So I felt like I could just flow right into another training camp, because I hadn’t taken that long a time off after I had been cut for the O’Connor camp. I actually still kept training.

 

So my weight was still good. It kind of made sense on a lot of fronts. I didn’t tell myself, “Oh, it’s a big step-up after a layoff.I didn’t look at it like that. I looked at it from more of a positive perspective.

 

Q

Are there any health concerns for you or just heading into this fight?

 

P. Malignaggi

I don’t ever think about this stuff, một. You have to have a short memory in boxing. And that applies to both when you look good and when you look bad. So whatever has happened to you in the past, it doesn’t matter whether it was good or bad. You can’t take that in the ring with you in your next performance. You’re starting a new chapter every time you step in the ring for round one in your next fight.

 

So I know as far as round one, it’s a new chapter for me. And so I don’t consider, I don’t think about what’s happened to me in the past, whether it was good or bad. But it’s something that I haven’t thought about in a long time and it doesn’t go through my mind.

 

Q

Danny is this an effort for you to feel what a 147-fight feels like?

 

D. Garcia

This is a fight my manager wanted. He gave me the call. He made this fight. And like any other fight, he did ask me, “Hey, do you want to fight this guy?” And then we say, “Vâng, we want to fight this guy.

 

So I didn’t go say, “Gee, I want to fight Paulie because he’s not a big puncher,” Bạn có biết, bởi vì, power is just one of the many skills you need in boxing. I don’t choose the opponent. I don’t hand choose the opponent. Nhưng tôi nghĩ rằng tổng thể, this is going to be a great fight.

 

Q

And what are you looking for this fight to do in terms of advancing your career should you win the fight? What would be next for you? What are you aiming to do in this division?

 

D. Garcia

Tôi không biết những gì tiếp theo. Chắc chắn, một cuộc chiến tại một thời điểm. I got a task in front of me. I got to go in there 110% mentally and physically prepared and just get the job done. Then after that, we can see what’s next for us.

 

Q

Paulie, how do you view a fighter like Danny, a former champion, coming up from 140 đến 147?

 

P. Malignaggi

Oh, I think he’s a phenomenal fighter. I even told Danny myself, early on, I wasn’t high on him. Nhưng, I know when he was in the prospect stages, he was beating some really good names and he was hitting a harder road up and a lot of prospects to do, in terms of a guy he has to fight. And he grew on me. I started realizing I’m not looking at this kid the right way. This kid is actually good on a lot of fronts, both from a physical perspective and from a mental perspective, really strong.

 

I’ve always had a lot of respect for him. But in terms of 140, 147, he’s no different than me. I was a junior welterweight champion; I moved into welterweight. So from that front, I don’t even look at myself as a bigger guy or anything. As a matter of fact, he moved up to welterweight at a younger age than when I moved up to welterweight, Bạn có biết. So his body grew into the division a little sooner than my body grew into the division.

 

So I think from that point of view, we both have that in common that we’re both ex-junior welterweight. So from a physical standpoint, I’m not looking at it as having any advantages. It’s just a matter of matching of my skills to his skills.

 

Q

Moving up to 147, do you really feel like you’re going to be able to put a staple on a lot of people’s mouths to shut them up about all the criticism that comes with Danny Garcia?

 

D. Garcia

That’s just boxing. Because I’ve been the underdog before, I’ve been the underdog before and I won. And there was like, “Oh, he got lucky.So it’s either I’m the favorite or the underdog. I can’t listen to none of that stuff after just going through each fight like I was, mentally prepared, physically prepared going in and get the job done.

 

If it’s good enough for the media and it’s good enough for the fans, Tôi đang hạnh phúc. I’m still happy because, it takes a real man to go in there and put gloves on and fight another man for 12 vòng. It takes a lot of discipline. It’s usually hard work for ten weeks straight waking up every day, doing the same thing, mồ hôi, máu, tears, all that stuff.

 

So I would love for the fans and the media to love me. Nhưng, it is what it is, they’re tough on me and that’s what keeps the chip on my shoulder and that’s going to make me train hard every day.

 

Q

Do you see your craftiness advantages that you may have over him that Danny may have a little bit of difficulty with skilled boxers?

 

P. Malignaggi

I think styles make fight. From a style point of view there are things that I feel like I’ll be able to do against Danny. But I also expect Danny had made some adjustments since those fights.

 

When it comes to the Lamont Peterson fight, as I was watching that fight and Lamont started turning things around, I started thinking, maybe Danny, he got in his mind after the first three, four, five rounds that this was the kind of fight this is going to be all night.

 

And when you kind of get into that role in your mind where, hey, một, this is going to be at a slow pace fight and you’re going to go through the motions in the fourth round. And then suddenly the script gets switched on you; you weren’t ready.

 

I felt like Lamont almost caught Danny in a sleep. And so from there, I don’t know that Danny would make a mistake again. The pace was so slow early on. I felt like I put myself in Danny’s shoes and I said, “Bạn biết gì, if I was Danny, I would probably be thinking two, ba, four rounds. Đó là nó. This is the kind of fight we’re going to fight for 12 vòng. So I wouldn’t be ready when suddenly he got turned off. Because if in your mind you put inif you put in your mindset that’s how the fight is going to be and then things switched, then you kind of get caught sleeping.

 

So I felt like maybe it was a learning experience for Danny. But as far as from the stylistic point of view, yes I like the way my boxing skills match up to his. I’m sure there’s things he feels he can do to me as well. And that’s kind of why we get in the ring, we compete with each other and you match up skills. But I’m sure both of us have certain advantages over the other that we’re both going to try to apply once the bell rings on August 1st.

 

Q

Do you see that as a must-win situation for you especially coming off the loss with Shawn Porter?

 

P. Malignaggi

I think it’s more must-win for me as far as my own boxing career is concerned. I think there’s no question that from my professional boxing career, not my commentating career; take everything else aside. For the life of my professional boxing career to continue, I feel like this is a must win for sure. I don’t think that there’s much of a must-win for Danny as it is for me.

 

At this level, they’re allyou always feel like it’s must win because you’re always in the mix for a bigger fight if you can win. So it’s always must win. But in reality, I feel like the burden falls on me more than Danny for it to be that kind of must-win.

 

But it’s also nothing new to me. I’ve been written off before. My career was supposed to end in 2009 when I went to Houston, Texas. I just came off the Ricky Hatton loss and I went to Houston to fight Juan Diaz. And no matter what I said in the press conferences, no matter what I’ve said in interviews, I remember just within one year they just kind of felt like this was going to be the end of my career. And so I had to go in there and prove it myself that it wasn’t yet, Bạn có biết.

 

So I had everybodyif I allowed myself to listen to what everybody says, I would have long gone a long time ago because you figure, you teach everybody their lessons and then it happened again in 2012. I got sent to Ukraine. I hadn’t really had a big fight in a couple of years and people just thought I was again sent to Ukraine as a fight just to make a little bit of money and be done. I was surprised that everybody was thinking about me like that again. I was like, “Wow. These people really don’t learn their lesson, you know.

 

And so I went to Ukraine and I’d come back with the WBA Welterweight title at that time. And I was able to turn things around again fromin my career. And those are really two key situations because losses in those two fights would really have erased me from the sport.

 

So I found myself again in this kind of situation. I’m not travelling to anybody’s hometown this time. I’m fighting in my own hometown. But it’s the same situation. It’s kind of the same thing. No matter what I say going into this fight, people are still going to look at it the same way that I’m the opponent and I’m the guy that Danny beats and this is my last fight and I’m just taking this for a payday and all this stuff.

 

So if I hadn’t already been through this, maybe I would worry about it. I remember in 2009, going to Houston, being kind of worried about it, complaining about all kinds of stuff and just not really knowing what I was walking into. I was walking into a dark room. But I’m not walking into a dark room on August 1st. I know exactly what’s going on. I know exactly what the rumblings are in the boxing world. And I know exactly what everybody is saying about the fight.

 

Regardless, nó không quan trọng. None of it matters. I go in the gym; I do my work every day. I know my mindset. It’s focused. It’s ready. And I know I’m going there to do work on August 1st. And nobody’s opinion is going to matter when the bell rings. But you can’t take people’s opinions in the ring with you, một lần nữa, whether they’d be good or whether they’d be bad. Nobody’s opinion comes in the ring with you. It has absolutely no bearing on who wins each and every single round.

 

Q

Danny, what things have you been able to do this time around doing training that you could not do in the past because you had to make 140?

 

D. Garcia

We added things to our workout now. We added a lot of explosive workouts, a lot of agility, a lot of footwork, a lot of things to making you more explosive, things I couldn’t do at 140 because I didn’t have the energy for it. But now the extra weight is really helping me. I’m eatingI’m adding more meals to my base to make me stronger, like before I had to skip meals. I was always weak.

 

Q

When we’re thinking about this, your training in the gym, do you 100% know how good you’re going to be as far as the sharpness and what you have left at 34? Or does it remain to be seen, you’ll only know on fight night?

 

P. Malignaggi

Fight night you can feel any which way. You can have a good camp but sometimes have a bad night. You can have a bad camp and have a good night. You don’t know how you’re going to be on fight night until you wake up the morning of the fight.

 

But I will say this, I’m having a good camp. And it mainly has to do with the fact that I’ve flown from one camp to another to another and I’ve been able to keep working on my skills and keep working on my sharpness. My weight has stayed low because of the fact that I have consistent training, consistent sparring.

 

I really like the way I’m feeling right now. I like the rhythm that I’m in when I’m in the gym. I like the flow. We’re just going to try to bring this sharp camp into the fight.

 

Q

Do you believe that you got the fight because they believed that you were a faded fighter?

 

P. Malignaggi

I didn’t go that deep into thinking. When I got the call, I was just surprised. Rhen I got the thinking, như, một, that’s a big fight. Any competitor wants big fights and wants to be in the limelight and wants to be on the big stage. I was wondering if I would ever get a chance to fight on this stage again.

 

I was more just surprised than anything else. I didn’t really go into thinking as to why I got the fight or why I got offered the fight or whatnot. I think that’s more your guys’ công việc. And I’m sure they let me know about it on Twitter and in the media why I’ve got this fight. Even if I didn’t think about it, just seeing what everybody says about it, I kind of get the gist of it.

 

If that’s the reason I got offered the fight, it’s the same reason I got offered the Juan Diaz fight in Houston in ’09. It’s the same reason I got the Vyacheslav Senchenko fight in Ukraine in 2012. And my confidence comes from me knowing I have the mental capacity to not let that kind of pressure bother me and have the mental capacity to just go into my zone and eliminate all the negativity from my mind.

 

Danny said earlier he would love the media and the fans to love him. I couldn’t care less whether anybody loves me or hates me. And I think the body of my work throughout my career or the things that I said, the things that I do, shows that I could care less whether anybody loves me or hates. I go out there to do a job. Tôi là một đối thủ cạnh tranh. I love competing. I love the adrenaline rush of combat at the highest level and testing myself against the best fighters in the world.

 

That’s why I do this. Tôi thích đánh nhau – I love to see where I’m at. And on August 1st, I’ll show myself.

 

Q

Danny, where is dad, Thiên thần Garcia?

 

D. Garcia

My dad is doing well. Ngay bây giờ, he’s at a shop. He owns and runs a business. Angel is just being Angel right now. I won’t see him until 5 giờ. Only the Lord knows what he’s doing right now.

 

Q

I would say some of the best work that you have done in the ring is by out-foxing heavy-handed opponents. How much of the old fox are we going to see? How is he again against Danny Garcia?

 

P. Malignaggi

I think for the most part, people know Danny’s style, people know my style. We’re going to make some adjustments to each other, both as part of the game plan and once we see each other in the ring.

 

I can’t really tell you exactly how I’m going to play it out until I’m in the ring myself. I plan on being the best me possible. I plan on being the sharpest me possible. And right now, trong đào tạo, Tôi cảm thấy thực sự tốt. The plan is to flow this training camp into a sharp night on August 1st.

 

Q

How long have you been thinking about the move up to welter?

 

D. Garcia

I believe right after the Matthysse fight I wanted to move up. I felt like that was a perfect time for me to move up because I beat the best 140-pounder at that time. I had beat Khan and then I came back and beat Morales and Matthysse.

 

I beat two of the best 140-pounders, so I feel like it’s time for me to go up to 147. But they had different plans for me. Me and my team, we decided to stay at 140 for a little longer to see how it played out. I just wasn’t fully strong at the weight class anymore. I just wasn’t fully strong anymore. So I felt like it’s time for me to go up to 147.

 

Q

How confident do you feel that you can become world champion again against the likes of Thurman, Kell Brook, perhaps a rematch against Amir Khan?

 

D. Garcia

Tôi rất tự tin. I faced a lot of good fighters. I faced a lot of great fighters in my career. I have a lot of experience. I was a big 140-pound fighter. I’ve never faced a 140-pound fighter who was taller than me or who looked better than me.

 

I was just squeezing my body down to 140. And I feel like I’m going to be a way better fighter at 147 and be able to use my legs more. Tại 140, I felt like I wasn’t strong no more, so I just had to walk forward all night and knock my opponents out.

 

But I feel like at 147, you’re going to see a more athletic Danny Garcia and be able to use my legs more, using my jab more and see punches clearer. When you drain yourself as hard to see punches, then you get hit with a lot of dumb punches because your vision is not clear.

 

I feel like my vision is going to be a lot clearer and be able to move my head, see the punches better, use my feet. And I think I’m going to be a champion at 147, quá. I know so.

EXCLUSIVE, CANDID INTERVIEW WITH FLOYD MAYWEATHER TO PREMIERE SATURDAY ON SHOWTIME®

Mayweather Goes In-Depth on Pacquiao Injury, the Possibility of a Rematch and Fighting Beyond Next September

SHOWTIME Premiere of World Championship Bout—Mayweather vs. Pacquiao—at 9 giờ chiều. VÀ/PT Followed by Exclusive Interview and the Premiere of “INSIDE MAYWEATHER vs. PACQUIAO Epilogue”

NEW YORK (Có thể 7, 2015)—Sports Emmy® Award winning reporter Jim Gray of SHOWTIME Sports® sat down with pound-for-pound champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather for an exclusive and candid interview late Thứ ba đêm, just days after Mayweather dominated Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao en route to a 12-round unanimous decision victory last Saturday night in Las Vegas. The interview will premiere this Thứ bảy, Có thể 9, trên SHOWTIME immediately following the network’s premiere of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao (9 giờ chiều. VÀ/PT).

 

Trong cuộc phỏng vấn, Mayweather addresses the claim made by Pacquiao’s camp that the Philippine fighter sustained an injury to his right shoulder that hampered his ability during the bout. Mayweather also discusses the possibility of a rematch with Pacquiao and fighting beyond his next scheduled event in September.

 

“Absolutely not,” Mayweather told Gray when asked if he could detect a problem with Pacquiao’s shoulder during the bout. “He was fast. His left hand was fast. His right hand was fast and he was throwing them both fast and strong.

 

“Excuses, excuses, excuses,” continued Mayweather, who remains undefeated in his professional career with 48 thắng, no losses and no draws.

 

“I’m not going to buy into the bull… and I don’t want the public to buy into the bull—-. He lost. He knows he lost. I lost a lot of respect for him after all of this.”

 

Mayweather goes on to address the possibility of a rematch.

 

“Did I text Stephen A. Smith and say I will fight him again? Vâng, but I change my mind,” said Mayweather. “At this particular time, đừng, because he’s a sore loser and he’s a coward… If you lost, accept the loss and say, ‘Mayweather, you were the better fighter.’”

 

The compelling interview will air immediately following the SHOWTIME premiere of the welterweight world championship unification bout at 9 giờ chiều. VÀ/PT. The interview will be immediately followed by the premiere of INSIDE Mayweather vs. PACQUIAO Epilogue, the acclaimed original documentary series from SHOWTIME Sports.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER MEDIA CONFERENCE CALL TRANSCRIPT

Kelly Swanson

Cảm ơn, mọi người, for joining us today. Today on the call we have none other than ‘TBE’ the greatest fighter on the earth, Floyd Mayweather, 11-time World Champion. We also have Leonard Ellerbe, CEO, Mayweather Promotions. Leonard, please start with the introductions. Cảm ơn bạn.

 

Leonard Ellerbe

Cảm ơn bạn, những người, for joining us on the call. We’ll jump right into this without further ado. None other than Floyd Mayweather himself.

 

Floyd Mayweather

Hey, how is everyone doing? I want to thank Leonard. I want to thank Kelly. I want to thank my team. I want to thank all the media from around the world that have been covering this fight. I want to thank everyone, I just want to say that you guys are doing a great job and I appreciate you.

 

Q

That thing on SportsCenter the other night, when you were talking about your place in boxing history and you said you thought you were greater than Muhammad Ali. Can you expand on your reasons why you feel that way?

 

F. Mayweather

I just feel like, like I said before, I take my hat off and then acknowledge all of the past champions. Là, I think he was a legend. I respect Ali like I respect any other champion. I just feel like I’ve done everything I can do in this sport over my whole life, for 30-something years. I feel like I’ve done just as much in this sport as Ali did.

 

There’s no disrespect to him. I just feel like, when you look at it, Ali was great in one weight class, which is heavyweight. But he stood up for a good cause; he stood up for a hell of a cause in his era.

 

I think that it’s hard for a guy to beat me. I’m still sharp, still very, very sharp at the age of 38. Still going strong at the age of 38. There’s no disrespect to Ali, as I said before. I just feel like I’m the best, no different from how he called himself ‘The Greatest,’ I call myself ‘TBE.’

 

I’m pretty sure that I will get criticized for what I said, but I can care less. I couldn’t care less about the backlash. I believe what I believe like he probably got criticized at one particular time when he said that he was the greatest. He felt like he was better than Sugar Ray Robinson. The list goes on and on. I’m pretty sure there’s going to be another fighter that’s going to come along and say he’s better than Floyd Mayweather and he’s going to get criticized.

 

Q

Do you think that Manny Pacquiao believes anything that Freddie Roach is saying when it comes to the bad guy and all this other stuff? Or do you think he’s just blowing smoke?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m not going to speak negative about Freddie Roach. I don’t have to at all. If I say something about the guy, they’re going to think Floyd is picking on a guy, who is not 100 percent healthy.

 

Sau đó,, if I comment on some of the stuff he says, he’s making this basically a God and devil type thing. The best way to handle a situation like that, is not to say anything at all, if you don’t have anything positive to say. He don’t have to get in there and fight, so when it comes down to it, it’s up to the two fighters.

 

He’s entitled to say what he wants to say, but the fighter is not speaking like that. I couldn’t care less because it comes down to the two fighters. I wish Freddie Roach nothing but the best; I don’t have anything negative to say about him. I’m truly blessed to be where I’m at and I’m thankful to be where I’m at.

 

Q

The magnitude of this fight, I know you treat it like just another fight, but what about your team? How has your team dealt with the press?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m very happy, like I said before. A little bit of everything got me to this point. Everybody played a major key. I try to keep my team grounded. People talk about the money. That plays a major key. My place in history plays a major key. Performing well plays a major key. Everything plays a major, major key.

 

I just try to keep my team grounded and try to keep them focused and just try to teach them every day how to go out there and fish for themselves. That’s the only thing I try to teach my team. I tell them to stay positive, and what I’ve heard was keep a positive environment around myself, which keeps me comfortable and happy.

 

Q

Are you excited at any point of this fight? I know you say you treat this like a job, but are you excited to finally get in the ring and have this fight happen?

 

F. Mayweather

It’s just like I said before. I’m not really going crazy. It’s just a fight to me. I know it’s the biggest fight in boxing history, but I can’t approach it like that because I’m not going to put any unnecessary pressure on myself.

 

He’s a fighter that’s extremely talented, he’s a very good fighter also, and my thing is just to be Floyd Mayweather. People actually don’t know, how is this fight going to be fought? I can’t say. Like I said before, I’m not a psychic. I cannot predict the future. But I will be at my best May 2nd.

Q

Listen, if you believe Bob Arum, this fight might not happen. That there’s issues with tickets, there’s the contract has not been signed, whatever. Do you know anything about that?

 

F. Mayweather

When it comes to the business side, that’s for Leonard Ellerbe. I don’t try to worry about tickets; I try to worry about the guy that’s in front of in me, which is going to be Manny Pacquiao. That’s my whole focus. Tickets are something I don’t really deal with.

 

Q

Have you trained harder for any previous fight than you have for this one, and would that be down to your respect for Manny or the fact that you need to work a bit harder the older you get?

 

F. Mayweather

When you’re trying to perform, when you’re at this level, you always want to perform extremely well. You don’t want to overtrain. You want to train to where you know you’re completely ready. Go out there and be at just 100 phần trăm. As far as this training camp, I’ve trained extremely hard. I believe that we’ll just see how everything plays out.

 

Q

I’m hearing reports, Floyd, that you’re looking stronger and fitter than ever.

 

F. Mayweather

Tốt, some people say that, you might not believe that depending on who is telling you. Hopefully. Hopefully I am. We’ll just have to see. That’s why I’m at this level, at the pinnacle of my career, because I’ve been pushing myself for so long and working so hard.

 

Q

Can I just ask you about Amir Khan? Is he still in your plans?

F. Mayweather

My focus right now is the guy that’s in front of me. My last fight is in September. I never want to overlook anyone. I believe you take it one fighter at a time. As of right now, Manny Pacquaio is the guy that’s in front of me, and that’s my focus.

 

Q

My question is regarding, Manny Pacquiao has said he thinks it’s Floyd’s time to lose. He’s almost implying that it’s maybe, God is on his side. I was wondering how you think, if God actually does care who wins prizefights?

 

F. Mayweather

I actually believe God loves us all. The people that are on this call, every writer, every fighter, every athlete that goes out there and competes. God loves us all. Một lần nữa, Tôi là một máy bay chiến đấu. What I do, I’m a professional prizefighter. I believe in God and I love God. I don’t think God takes sides.

 

Q

Lot of stuff gets reported in the fourth or the sixth weeks leading up to this. We don’t always get a chance to ask you yourself, so I want to give you the opportunity. Is there anything that was reported that you want to clear up that you want to actually say no, that isn’t true, you guys got it wrong?

 

F. Mayweather

Do Not, nothing at all. Because once my career is over, that’s when I’m going to read everything, anyway, all the articles that people have written. When I come home, I leave boxing at the boxing gym. When I go to the gym or when I go to train, I work. I dedicate myself to my craft.

 

When I come home and I’m not on the computer, I’m not looking at myself. I’m not buying magazine covers with me on the cover. I’m not on the computer looking up articles. I could care less about all that. My job is to go out there and perform and be at my best, and be the best that I can be in the sport of boxing.

 

Q

My question for you is, in your opinion, what would a victory against Pacquiao do for your legacy? And then how much would it enhance your legacy.

 

F. Mayweather

It’s just another fight. I just look at the situation. He’s another guy that I faced. You’re just going to say in history, that these two faced each other at one particular time. It was hard to make the fight happen, eventually they made the fight happen, and we faced each other.

 

Q

Do you believe, tuy nhiên, that a victory would in some way enhance your legacy?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m not sure, because I’m not the one that’s putting myself in the history books.

 

Q

Do you think it’s true that the winner of the fight will be declared, in essence, by the public, as the king of this era?

 

F. Mayweather

I can’t really say. I don’t really know. Just look at Ali’s career. When he fought, he looked like the best when he fought. I think he lost seven fights. When I got older I noticed that he lost seven fights and lost some other fight that he lost. He still was known as the greatest. Because that’s what he put out there. Như vậy, that’s what it is.

 

Q

The wonderment on a lot of people’s minds is when the career is over, will you have enough money for the rest of your life? Do you ever worry about losing at all?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m blessed. I made some good investments to where if I wanted to retire today, I could.

 

Q

That means there’s no fear of bankruptcy whatsoever in terms of the gambling and the other involvements that you’ve spent?

 

F. Mayweather

I made some good investments, and if I wanted to retire today, I could.

 

Q

My question is, you said at the press conference that you though that Pacquiao was surprised at how much bigger you were than him. Can you talk a little bit about that, and then also some of the strategic aspects of being the bigger fighter in the ring on Có thể 2?

 

F. Mayweather

Normally when I face an opponent, they normally outweighed me by 17 đến 20 pounds on fight nights. This has been going on for a good while now. You can read a guy’s body language. When Pacquiao first saw me in Miami, he didn’t expect to see me over there at the basketball game. He looked shocked, như, ‘Damn, he is taller than me. He’s bigger than what I thought he was.’ Just being in the sport for so long, you’re able to read body language; you’re able to read a fighter’s eyes.

 

Q

Do you feel that some of the trash talking is Freddie Roach being nervous about the fight and trying to get a psychological edge on you?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m not fighting Freddie Roach, so I’m not worried about that at all. Freddie Roach, he’s Pacquiao’s trainer and he’s going to do what he has to do for his fighter to win. If that’s trying to get an edge, then that’s what he should do.

 

Q

All of your other fights, you’ve always been a very vocal, always been a vocal fighter. Why the silence this time?

 

F. Mayweather

This is exactly what I’ve said. Even in my interviews, I’ve said we had to bring a game plan. Even from day one when I was with Bob Arum, I said I wanted to work extremely hard to get to a certain point in my career, which is to get to a point to be the first fighter to ever make nine figures in one night.

 

It took a game plan to me going out there on my own. It’s just me speaking out with a very, very loud voice. Having a lot of personality. But as you get older, you mature. After trash talking for 17, 18 năm, and constantly saying, look what I’ve done. Nhìn tôi. Nhìn tôi. You know what I’m saying? I’m the best. Nhìn tôi. And everybody they’ve put in front of me I’ve beaten.

 

I’m at a point where you just say, you know what? It is what it is. I know what I can do. Tôi biết những gì tôi mang đến cho bảng. God has truly blessed me to be in this situation. I have a good team. My children are healthy, so I don’t have to do all that.

 

It’s more like I did all that loud talking and everything to get to a certain point. I’ve still got a lot of personality, I did what I had to do to get to a certain point in my career, and that’s what I did. It was a brilliant game plan.

 

Q

From your personal point of view, how has this fight and this promotion been different from the many other big events that you’ve been a part of?

 

F. Mayweather

It’s actually been kind of the same. It’s just a little bit over the top, but I just try to stay relaxed. That’s my main thing. It’s a very, very huge event. I can remember every day.

 

Sometimes I think about when Mike Tyson got out of prison and he was boxing, and when he was fighting at the MGM Grand. I would go to the MGM Grand, because I wasn’t a professional at that particular time. Just starting. I would go to the MGM Grand and some people would know me so I would take pictures and just sign a few autographs. I was like, một, MGM Grand would never be this packed again. That’s what I thought. I was only 19 years old at that particular time. That was in ’96. I kept believing though. I always believed that I could do record-breaking numbers. I just needed the right team with me and it took a little bit of everything. The right fights, the right team, and we made it happen.

 

Q

Beyond all the trash talk and salesmanship, you’ve always been a guy that, when it comes down to it, is very respectful of his opponents. I think it’s part of your secret. Is there anything that you admire about Manny Pacquiao, either the fighter or the person?

 

F. Mayweather

Tốt, he’s got to this point by doing something right. It’s obvious he’s done something right to get to this point. I have to respect that.

 

Q

The Filipino fans are expecting or hoping for a very aggressive Manny in the ring. Is this something that you’re training for, or are you just going in the ring to fight your fight, make the adjustments along the way as you have so successfully throughout your career?

 

F. Mayweather

If you’re basically asking what’s my game plan, my game plan is to win. That’s actually what my game plan has always been is to win.

 

Q

A lot of the animosity from the Filipino fans towards you is not directed to you as a great boxer, but more as someone who can put an end towards a Filipino hero’s career. Do you honestly believe that you would put an end to a Filipino hero’s career?

 

F. Mayweather

Tốt, my thing is this. I’ve heard that we’re all God’s children, whether you’re American, Filipino, African, Dominican, Asian, we’re all God’s children. People are going to root for who they want to root for and simple and plain I’m pretty sure I’ve got Filipino fans that like me, and I’m pretty sure that you’ve got some black American fans that like Pacquiao.

 

I never try to focus on anything like that. My focus is to give the people what they really want to see. Just facing the facts. That’s what I’ve done throughout my career. He’s one of the last guys, he’s one of the last good fighters of this era. It’s a fight that has to happen, and I’m glad that the fight is happening.

 

Q

How much strength and effort and support from family does it take to get you where you are right now?

 

F. Mayweather

Tốt, the support came a lot. I had a hell of a supporting cast to get to this point, before I became a professional. There’s this guy that I never talk about to anyone. I never say anything about him to anyone. And he’s doing extremely badly right now, not financially but health-wise. I believe he’s lost his memory, which hurts extremely bad. A guy by the name of Frank Brown, I’ve known him since I was the age of three.

 

He has supported me more than anyone. He has always said that, “Floyd, one day you will be the best fighter in the world.” He’s always taking me to church, taking me through different activities. He was like a grandfather to me. Frank Brown. When I used to fight, he would drive anywhere. It could be in Little Rock, Arkansas. He would drive from Grand Rapids, Michigan to come support me. He would sit in the room with me and say prayers with me.

 

He’s a guy that I would never forget, because he was there from the age of three until after I fought De La Hoya, because he’s up there in age now. He eventually lost his memory, so he’s at a home. He’s at an old folks’ nhà. It really hurts, but I love that guy so much. I think about him all the time.

 

K. Swanson

Được, that’s our last question. Cảm ơn bạn, mọi người, for joining us. Floyd, any final comments?

 

F. Mayweather

I just want to tell everybody, thank you for all the stories, and all the articles you guys wrote. Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều. My team appreciates you all, as well as myself. Cảm ơn bạn.

LAS VEGAS (Tháng ba 28, 2015) - Sau khi tiến gần đến vinh quang chức vô địch thế giới trong 2014,

Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 Kos), một cựu Hoa Kỳ amateur nổi bật, giữ lời hứa của mình trong thời trang ấn tượng Thứ bảy đêm, gõ ra đương kim vô địch Jhonny Gonzalez (57-9, 48 Kos), Mexico City, ở vòng thứ tư trong các sự kiện chính của một SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader thăng bằng DIBELLA Entertainment tại Nhà hát Trân tại Palms Casino Resort.

 

Trong hợp tính năng trên SHOWTIME®, bất khả chiến bại Jermell "Iron Man" Charlo (26-0, 11 Kos) Houston, đoạt gần, Quyết định 10-round nhất trí trên Cánh quạt Martirosyan(35-2-1, 21 Kos), Glendale, Calif., trong một cuộc đụng độ của top lăm xếp siêu welterweights. Không có knockdowns trong một cơn ghi bàn 97-93 và 96-94 hai lần.

 

Các southpaw tài năng và nhanh chóng tàn bạo Russell, người đứng và trao đổi với Gonzalez, sử dụng tốc độ tổng thể của mình để thống trị. Ông bỏ rơi cựu binh ba lần, một lần vào thứ ba và hai lần trong thứ tư trước khi trọng tài Tuần Tony vẫy tay ra khỏi cuộc chiến 37 giây vào vòng (để xem các loại trực tiếp nhấp chuột HERE).

 

"Đây là loại hiệu suất Tôi luôn mong đợi nhưng không luôn luôn nhận,'' Russell nói, người bị mất một quyết định 12-vòng gần Vasyl Lomachenko trong nỗ lực ban đầu của ông tại vương miện 126-pound cuối cùng Tháng sáu 21 trên SHOWTIME. "Nếu mọi người chỉ biết khó khăn thế nào, chúng tôi đã làm việc cho điều này, thời gian chúng ta đặt trong phòng tập thể dục, những điều về tinh thần và thể chất, chúng tôi làm việc và đặt mình qua mỗi ngày.

 

"Luôn luôn có những trở ngại để vượt qua nhưng đối với cuộc chiến này tôi 100 phần trăm. Chiến thắng này là dành cho tất cả những người đã ở với tôi ngay từ đầu. ''

 

Chiến lược của Russell là để loại bỏ móc trái dẳng Gonzalez ', và ông thực hiện kế hoạch đến gần sự hoàn hảo.

 

"Chúng tôi không bao giờ ở đây để biến nó thành một đáp ứng theo dõi,'' Russell nói. "Chúng tôi đã đi đến đứng ngay trong túi. Chúng tôi biết những gì Gonzalez thích làm, và đó là ném móc trái rộng. Tôi đã cố gắng để mồi anh ta vào ném nó và anh đã làm.

 

"Thành thật mà nói, Tôi không nghĩ anh ấy phục hồi từ rời đầu tiên. ''

 

Gonzalez, từng hai lần vô địch thế giới WBC lông - và một cựu chiến binh của 16 chiến đấu vô địch thế giới - đã giành danh hiệu lần đầu tiên vào tháng Tư 2011 và thực hiện bốn vệ đai thành công trước khi mất nó vào tháng Chín 2012. Ông lấy lại danh hiệu trên đấu loại trực tiếp đầu tiên quanh gây sốc trên Abner Mares vào tháng Tám 2013 trên SHOWTIME, và đã thực hiện hai bảo vệ đai thành công hơn trước khi giảm xuống Russell.

 

Gonzalez không đưa ra lời xin lỗi trước khi nhanh chóng thoát khỏi vòng.

 

"Tôi là OK,'' Ông nói. "Tôi không mong đợi điều này loại chiến đấu ở tất cả các. Chúng tôi mong đợi anh ta để chạy xung quanh vòng với tôi theo đuổi. Nhưng anh không làm thế. ''

 

Trong hợp tính năng, Charlo im lặng của các nhà phê bình lý lịch của mình bằng cách đánh bại đối thủ khó khăn nhất của ông cho đến nay.

Ông rất ngạc nhiên với cách trận đấu với Martirosyan diễn ra. "Tôi chắc chắn sẽ là một cuộc chiến thô nhiều,'' Ông nói. "Điều này là dễ dàng so với những gì tôi nghĩ chúng tôi đã ở cho.

"Tôi đã chiến đấu thông minh và khi tôi đã nói để nhặt nó lên, Tôi biết thời gian đó là gì vì vậy tôi đã làm. Tôi hoàn toàn sẵn sàng cho một shot tại một danh hiệu thế giới. ''

Martirosyan, những người đã được cắt trên mắt trái từ một headbutt tình cờ ở vòng thứ tám, rõ ràng là đã thất vọng với kết quả.

"Tôi cảm thấy tích cực 100 phần trăm rằng tôi đã thắng cuộc chiến đó,'' Ông nói. "Tôi là kẻ xâm lược và buộc các hành động. Tất cả các ông đã làm là chạy. Tôi đã hạ cánh xuống đấm sạch hơn. Tôi chắc chắn cảm thấy tôi giành được vòng cuối cùng.

"Tôi đã bị choáng váng bởi những headbutt [mà kết quả trong trận đấu này bị dừng lại trong khi ông và các bác sĩ Ring thảo luận cắt]. Chắc chắn mắt trái của tôi làm phiền tôi sau đó và nó đã bị mờ. Nhưng điều đó không có lý do.

"Tôi cảm thấy mình đã làm tổn thương anh. Ông không bao giờ làm tổn thương tôi một lần. Tôi thực sự không hiểu được quyết định này. ''

Trước đó Thứ bảy, trên SHOWTIME BOXING QUỐC TẾ, bất khả chiến bại nhà vô địch IBF hạng bán trung Kell Brook (34-0, 23 Kos) áp đảo đối thủ bắt buộc Jo Jo Dan (34-3, 18 Kos), thả Rumani dựa trên bốn lần Canada trước khi beatdown một chiều được một cách khôn ngoan dừng lại sau vòng thứ tư tại Chi nhánh Motorpoint Arena ở Sheffield, Nước Anh.

 

Suối nhỏ, Sheffield, đã làm cho quốc phòng đầu tiên của tiêu đề người nặng ông mất từ ​​trước đó bất khả chiến bại Shawn Porter Tháng tám vừa qua trên SHOWTIME và chiến đấu lần đầu tiên kể từ khi bị một chấn thương nghiêm trọng khi ông bị đâm vào đùi trong một kỳ nghỉ trên đảo Tenerife cuối tháng chín.

 

Những người nặng thú vị cho thấy không có tác động xấu từ các sa thải trong một sự trở lại tình cảm với vòng, đăng ký hai knockdowns trong vòng hai, và hai trong thứ tư, với knockdown thức đến lúc tiếng chuông đóng cửa. Dan chịu thất bại đầu tiên của loại trực tiếp sự nghiệp của mình (để xem các loại trực tiếp nhấp chuột HERE).

 

"Tôi đã trở lại, em bé!"Nói Brook, có hiệu suất khủng khiếp chống lại Dan thường bền điện các fan quê nhà trong khi mở đường cho một cuộc thách lớn trong tương lai.

 

"Nó thực sự tuyệt vời để đi ra phía trước của tất cả các fan của tôi. Tôi không bao giờ nghĩ rằng tôi sẽ đi lại được nữa, ít hơn nhiều hộp một lần nữa. Ở đây tôi làm đầy các đấu trường. Tôi không thể diễn tả được bao nhiêu nó có nghĩa là để được trở lại và bảo vệ một danh hiệu thế giới. Nó có nghĩa là tất cả mọi thứ với tôi.

 

"Thật khó có giữ nó lại với nhau. Nhưng đây là nơi tôi thuộc về. Các chân cảm thấy bình thường. Các chân cảm thấy tốt như các chân khác. Không có vấn đề với chân.

 

"Nếu bạn đang xem Amir Khan, sau đó nhận được ở đây với tôi. Tôi biết bạn đang nhạy cảm quanh râu. Tôi sẽ đưa bạn ra ngoài. ''
