00:00Now, Manny has a lot of experience, you know, at the highest level, and competing at the highest level.
00:07And that makes this that much more interesting.
00:11But like I said before, there's no blueprint on how to beat Floyd Mayweather.
00:16And he can tell you that himself.
00:18You're going to have to take the whole room together.
00:21You're going to have to put the whole world in the rain to beat me. I'm the best.
00:24He's always claiming that he's a greatest of all time.
00:28My question is like this.
00:30In which part that he can claim that he's the only one?
00:34He's the only one.
00:36He cannot claim that he's the only undefeated fighter.
00:40Which is a lot of undefeated. More than 15.
00:44I don't think Floyd will ever be a stationary target.
00:47I think Manny knows that.
00:49I don't think Floyd by any means is an easy fighter or an easy opponent.
00:54Don't expect Floyd to be a stationary target.
00:56That's not Floyd. Floyd is Floyd.
00:59I mean, there's a reason why he's nicknamed the greatest of all time.
01:02There's a reason why he's the GOAT.
01:03There's a reason why he's 50-0.
01:06Floyd Mayweather erupts during a heated live interview,
01:09angrily telling Manny Pacquiao to focus on the ring,
01:12asserting that Manny already knows his power from their first fight,
01:15and no one can beat him.
01:17That makes this that much more interesting.
01:21But like I said before,
01:23there's no blueprint on how to beat Floyd Mayweather.
01:25And he can tell you that himself.
01:30You're going to have to take the whole room together.
01:33You're going to have to put the whole world in the ring to beat me.
01:35I'm the best.
01:37Manny Pacquiao heatedly says Floyd Mayweather is older,
01:40and that his eight division wins mean little,
01:42claiming he's the better fighter despite Mayweather's fame.
01:45He's older than me.
01:49I'm still young, so...
01:54And I'm always active with this sport.
01:58What I have done in accomplishing boxing,
02:01I think it's one of a kind because
02:03to get a different weight division is not that easy.
02:10So, that's a prestigious accomplishment in boxing.
02:17And I'm not trying to boast what I have accomplished in life,
02:22but I'm just saying this to repeat.
02:25You might forget that accomplishment.
02:29Manny Pacquiao says time doesn't matter.
02:31He still has the power within him
02:33and feels young enough to compete strongly.
02:35Oh yeah, I learned a lot when that fight way back in 2015.
02:41I think we become mature right now
02:46and how to handle it.
02:49And I hope that it will not happen again
02:54like the way it is last 2015.
03:01You know, the experience is like not really 100%,
03:06but I'm hoping for this time around
03:10no more excuses,
03:12especially to my condition
03:14and also for everything.
03:17Like, I'm so excited and ready for the fight.
03:21Although,
03:24before he wants an exhibition with me,
03:27but I don't,
03:28I disagree and I don't want to fight
03:30with the exhibition with him.
03:31I want to fight a real fight like this.
03:34Manny Pacquiao's trainer says
03:35Floyd Mayweather's 50-0 record is irrelevant here,
03:39noting he hasn't fought in years,
03:40while Manny Pacquiao recently competed
03:42against Mario Barrios.
03:43Mayweather's 50-0,
03:45very talented.
03:46He's not 50-0.
03:48He was,
03:49when he stopped down at boxing,
03:50he was 48,
03:52no, 47.
03:53Well, Bruto and McGregor,
03:54McGregor and Bruto was the last turn.
03:56Yeah, McGregor didn't count.
03:56Then he fought the Thai guy.
03:57Some guy had no fights.
03:58That doesn't count.
03:59That wasn't part of the 50.
04:01That wasn't part of the 50.
04:02That was,
04:03McGregor.
04:03McGregor's not a bomb star.
04:05He went 10 rounds.
04:06If they did MMA,
04:07Floyd carried him.
04:08By the way,
04:09counter-pick Mayweather to beat Manny in a rematch.
04:11Never had.
04:12That's what he said.
04:13Yeah.
04:15Never had fun with like this.
04:17It's not MMA.
04:18Conor's not a boxer.
04:20He's the MMA guy.
04:21If the rules were reversed,
04:23he probably gets destroyed in about 40 seconds.
04:26Conor just takes him down.
04:27But Mike Tyson gave Conor credit
04:29that he said he went 10 rounds
04:30with the powerpoint 0-0.
04:32Like,
04:32what's it?
04:32Floyd carried him.
04:34Wade Plemons analyzes the situation,
04:36saying that both Floyd Mayweather
04:38and Manny Pacquiao are legends in their own right,
04:41having achieved everything needed to become champions.
04:43But at this stage,
04:44a rematch is unnecessary.
04:46Mayweather and Pacquiao,
04:47the biggest fight that's ever happened in combat sports.
04:50It wasn't at their best.
04:52We'll talk about how I think this version is going to go.
04:54But what was it?
04:554.2 million pay-per-view buys.
04:58The biggest fight we thought we'd ever see.
04:59And it may still be that.
05:00But this is going to do numbers as well,
05:02no doubt about it.
05:02But the reason this fight is at least more interesting to me now
05:05than either of their exhibitions.
05:07And yeah,
05:07I'm throwing away how the first fight went
05:09and that they were past their prime in that one.
05:12And that I may be getting the wool pulled over my eyes
05:14for what we actually might see.
05:16But let's be honest though.
05:17Floyd's 49,
05:18Manny's 47.
05:18We know what we're going to get.
05:20They're not going to be in their prime.
05:21We don't expect them to be in their primes.
05:23But Manny Pacquiao just came off a world title fight
05:25where I thought he beat Mario Barrios.
05:27I thought he beat him.
05:28Now granted,
05:29it was a draw and we just saw Mario Barrios
05:31get absolutely skunked by Ryan Garcia.
05:34It's showing us that one,
05:35like I've said,
05:36Mario Barrios is one of the worst world champions
05:38in boxing or he was.
05:40Tim Bradley says that with Floyd Mayweather
05:42and Manny Pacquiao returning,
05:43other retired fighters might be tempted back
05:46by the massive payday opportunities.
05:48Manny Pacquiao Mayweather
05:50about to go back at it in September.
05:53So a lot of guys coming out of retirement
05:57getting that Netflix money.
05:59Netflix is willing to pay for content, man,
06:02especially if you're popular.
06:04You know, they did Jake Paul.
06:06Jake Paul opened his damn door.
06:08Gotta give it up for him.
06:10He opened his door.
06:11And Mike Tyson.
06:13They've done other events as well.
06:14You know, Katie Taylor
06:16and Serrano as well.
06:19However,
06:21I was thinking De La Hoya was next.
06:24De La Hoya, you coming out of retirement?
06:27Clap back.
06:28Hey, clap back Thursdays.
06:30Bring your ass out of retirement, big dog.
06:32For real.
06:33You and Tito.
06:34Tito to the dad.
06:36Tito to the dad.
06:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:39Manny Pacquiao Promotion's CEO
06:41shuts down all critics
06:43as saying both legends know their worth.
06:45Netflix provides a massive purse
06:47and their peak condition
06:48makes this rematch justified.
06:50I can't share the exact number,
06:51but let's just say if he,
06:53you know what they're worth
06:54and they know what they're worth
06:55and they know the numbers
06:56they've done before.
06:58So if the numbers didn't make sense
07:01for either of them,
07:03they wouldn't have signed on the dotted line
07:04and we wouldn't be where we are today.
07:06Okay, I'll ask one more.
07:08Over or under 50 million each?
07:11Over.
07:12Okay.
07:13That's a good benchmark to work with.
07:16Yeah.
07:16The first fight was billed
07:18as the fight of the century,
07:19but it failed to live up
07:21to the massive expectations, right?
07:23Fans were left with a bad taste on it.
07:26After the fight,
07:27Manny said he had a shoulder injury.
07:29There were some lawsuits involved.
07:30So how can this fight be different 11 years later?
07:35You know, it's very hard to explain this,
07:40but these guys are in better conditioning.
07:46Luke Thomas emphasizes that this upcoming fight
07:48will be an official professional bout,
07:50meaning it will go on
07:51Floyd Mayweather's professional record.
07:53Currently at 50-0,
07:54Floyd retired undefeated,
07:56but this fight opens the door for him
07:58to either extend his record to 51-0,
08:00experience a loss,
08:02or even end in a draw.
08:03While Floyd has participated
08:05in multiple exhibitions since his retirement,
08:07about eight so far,
08:09with a ninth planned against Mike Tyson,
08:11this matchup is different
08:12because it counts officially.
08:14Luke Thomas notes
08:15that the first Floyd Mayweather
08:16versus Manny Pacquiao fight,
08:18despite huge hype,
08:19disappointed many casual fans.
08:21Manny Pacquiao blamed his shoulder
08:23for his lackluster performance,
08:24and the fight failed to deliver
08:26the excitement expected.
08:27Floyd will go on their record.
08:28Floyd currently has a record of 50-0.
08:30Remember, he retired at 50-0.
08:33It is possible he could go either 51-0
08:35or now 50-1 or a draw or whatever,
08:38but he's at least putting it up
08:40to be part of the professional record.
08:42Now, you might say,
08:43well, hasn't he been doing
08:43a lot of exhibitions
08:45since his retirement from boxing?
08:47And the answer is yes,
08:49about eight of them or so.
08:51I believe he's got, by the way,
08:52a ninth coming up in April
08:54in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
08:56against, of all people, Mike Tyson.
08:59Also, just as a fresh reminder,
09:01the first fight, I didn't hate it,
09:03but a lot of people did.
09:05And remember, you'll recall,
09:07Manny Pacquiao, after the fight was over,
09:08blamed his performance on his shoulder.
09:11But there was pretty widespread disappointment
09:13with just how big the fight was
09:16and then how little it delivered.
09:17Not necessarily to hardcore fans,
09:19although some of that too,
09:20but definitely to casual fans
09:22were expecting a little bit more rock'em, sock'em.
09:24Manny Pacquiao, now 47,
09:26recently fought Mario Barrios to a draw,
09:28a result that highlights concerns
09:30about his current competitive level,
09:32especially compared with Ryan Garcia,
09:34who decisively defeated the same opponent.
09:36Questions arise about whether Pacquiao
09:38can still perform at the elite level
09:40he once dominated.
09:41Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather's exhibition
09:43against Logan Paul in Miami
09:45showed that, while Mayweather's skill
09:47and precision remain impressive,
09:49challenges such as size differences
09:50make his current physical limits uncertain.
09:53Both fighters are in entirely different stages
09:55of their careers.
09:56Pacquiao coming off active competition,
09:59Mayweather largely retired but still sharp,
10:01making this professional bout
10:03fascinating yet unpredictable.
10:04Fans and analysts alike are left to wonder
10:07how age, timing, and conditioning
10:09will impact the outcome of this rematch.
10:11And then after the fight,
10:12Floyd had said explicitly,
10:14I'm not really gonna do,
10:15you know, I need to know what my limits are here.
10:17I'm not really gonna go back
10:18to doing professional stuff
10:20because during that week he was like,
10:21oh, I'd fight McGregor again and blah, blah, blah.
10:22He kept doing the exhibition thing.
10:25Well, now he's going back
10:26to the professional side.
10:27So let's talk about it.
10:27Why is this fight happening?
10:29I actually feel like the explanation
10:32is basically threefold
10:34with some of that being really kind of sad,
10:36but some of it being something
10:38we should think about.
10:39Reason number one,
10:40both of these guys are broke.
10:41I mean, the reporting on Floyd recently
10:43has been pretty unambiguous.
10:45He is in a lot of debt.
10:47And despite the fact that he made
10:49over a billion dollars
10:50during the course of his career,
10:52and by the way,
10:53did that without sponsors,
10:55by and large,
10:57without sponsors is a remarkable achievement.
11:00I don't know what he's done with his money,
11:01but he doesn't have much more of it.
11:03Tim Bradley reflects on the unique appeal
11:05of high profile, big money fights
11:07for retired boxing legends.
11:09Noting that these events generate excitement
11:11that transcends mere competition,
11:13he recalls how a potential rematch
11:15between Oscar De La Hoya and Tito Trinidad
11:17would instantly capture global attention,
11:20driven not only by fan interests,
11:22but by the immense financial stakes involved.
11:24Bradley emphasizes that the payouts
11:26for these bouts often exceed
11:27what many fighters earn in their entire careers,
11:30making the opportunity nearly impossible to decline.
11:33Fans are drawn by a sense of nostalgia
11:35and the magnetic pull of star power,
11:37while the fighters themselves capitalize
11:39on unprecedented payday prospects.
11:41Even though these matchups feature athletes
11:43past their prime,
11:44the blend of legendary names,
11:46curiosity,
11:47and massive earnings
11:48makes the events irresistible.
11:50According to Bradley,
11:51this combination ensures strong audience engagement,
11:54sustained media attention,
11:55and a lucrative experience for everyone involved.
11:58You come back and fight Tito.
12:00We always been wanting to see that damn rematch
12:02with you and Tito.
12:03Oh, oh, oh.
12:05Yeah, Tito got Puerto Rico on lock.
12:08Imagine Tito Trinidad coming back
12:10and your old ass Oscar De La Hoya
12:12that still got that damn left hook.
12:14Yeah, man.
12:15Hey, they paying for content.
12:16And I'm talking about gravy.
12:18Big money.
12:19Big, big, big, big, big, big money.
12:22Man, yeah, more money you ever made
12:23in one night in your career.
12:25Oscar De La Hoya.
12:26Well, mm-hmm.
12:28Anyways, Tim Desert Storm Bradley.
12:30Shit, now what else fights you can think of?
12:34You already know the rest.
12:36I'm out.
12:37Aid Oladipo offers a thoughtful perspective
12:40on the evolving landscape of boxing,
12:42reflecting on how the sport
12:43has changed over the years.
12:45He fondly recalls the era
12:46when Floyd Mayweather dominated the ring,
12:48describing how mesmerizing it was
12:50to watch Mayweather's technique,
12:52strategy, and precision unfold.
12:54From his early training sessions
12:55to high-stakes professional fights,
12:57every move from Mayweather
12:59seemed calculated and genius,
13:01earning him admiration from fans,
13:03including Oladipo himself.
13:04However, he questions the current trend
13:06of bringing retired legends
13:08back into the spotlight,
13:09noting that Mayweather will be 49
13:11by his upcoming bout.
13:12Oladipo emphasizes that
13:14while veteran fighters like Floyd Mayweather
13:16and Manny Pacquiao remain skilled,
13:18boxing's future depends on giving
13:19younger athletes their opportunity to shine.
13:22Floyd fighting his dad,
13:24Floyd doing this,
13:25Floyd doing that.
13:26It was genius.
13:27And I fell in love with Floyd.
13:28I thought Floyd was just incredible.
13:30And then again,
13:30he got in the ring
13:31and it was just,
13:32it was fantastic.
13:33But that was then.
13:35This is now.
13:36Like, when's it gonna stop?
13:38When are we gonna stop
13:39rolling out these old-timers?
13:41And Floyd is an old-timer, people.
13:43I think he's gonna be 49
13:44by the time this fight rolls around.
13:46When are we gonna stop
13:47wheeling them out?
13:49Like, let it go.
13:50Let the youngsters come through
13:51and let them take the shine.
13:53Like, it's just getting,
13:54honestly, it's getting crazy.
13:55And I say all this,
13:56I will watch it.
13:57Of course I will watch it
13:58because I'm a big Floyd fan
13:59and a big Manny Pacquiao fan.
14:01But, like,
14:02the youngsters need their time
14:03to shine down.
14:04We've got a good group of youngsters.
14:06A good group of youngsters.
14:07I was in Vegas to watch Ryan Garcia.
14:09I looked around the ring.
14:10I saw Shakur Stevenson.
14:11I saw Keyshawn Davis.
14:12I saw Devin Haney.
14:13Tia Fima Lopez.
14:14Like, we've got a good bunch.
14:15Let them have their shine.
14:16Aid Oladipo acknowledges his admiration
14:19for both Floyd Mayweather
14:20and Manny Pacquiao,
14:22recognizing their legendary status
14:24and enduring skills.
14:25Despite this,
14:26he stresses that boxing's future
14:28hinges on providing younger fighters
14:30with the spotlight they deserve.
14:32Oladipo argues that
14:33continually bringing back
14:34retired legends is unnecessary,
14:36even when champions like Pacquiao
14:38remain in remarkable condition,
14:40as seen in his recent draw
14:41against Mario Barrios.
14:42While nostalgia and star power
14:44captivate audiences,
14:45Oladipo emphasizes that
14:47the sport must evolve.
14:49Boxing should prioritize
14:50the development and exposure
14:51of the next generation,
14:53ensuring that new champions
14:54have opportunities
14:55to showcase their skills,
14:56grow the sport,
14:57and sustain fan interest,
14:59rather than relying repeatedly
15:00on past icons.
15:02Don't need to see this anymore.
15:04Honestly, I really don't.
15:05Manny Pacquiao is in great shape, right?
15:07We saw him against Mario Barrios.
15:09I mean, he could have been
15:10a world champion.
15:11We haven't seen Floyd for a while.
15:13Obviously, he's been doing
15:14his exhibitions.
15:15He always looks in shape,
15:16but I guess there's in shape,
15:18and who am I to say this to Floyd?
15:20There's fight in shape.
15:21I don't know if this fight's
15:22going to be a six-rounder,
15:23an eight-rounder,
15:23a ten-rounder.
15:24I don't know what size gloves
15:25they're using.
15:27I don't know, man.
15:29Honestly, I don't know, people.
15:31I don't know.
15:35It is what it is.
15:37Maybe I'm putting too much
15:38stock into it.
15:39Let them just have their fight.
15:40Again, I do want to know
15:42what's going to happen
15:42with Provodnikov-Pacquiao.
15:44I'm guessing that probably
15:45is counsel.
15:45If you're Pacquiao,
15:46why on earth would you fight
15:47Provodnikov when you've got
15:48the Mayweather check
15:50waiting for you?
15:51And if you're Mayweather,
15:52same thing.
15:53Why would you fight
15:53Mike Tyson-The Congo
15:54when you've got the Pacquiao
15:55check waiting for you?
15:56Henry, the boxing analyst,
15:58examines Floyd Mayweather's
15:59post-retirement career
16:01focusing on his recent
16:02exhibition bouts
16:03and ongoing public activities.
16:05He notes that in August 2024,
16:07Mayweather returned to the ring
16:08for a second exhibition
16:10dominating from start to finish,
16:12though the fight offered
16:12little excitement
16:13beyond a brief referee switch.
16:15Henry emphasizes
16:16the unpredictable
16:17and often gimmicky nature
16:18of these exhibitions,
16:19questioning why a fighter
16:21who retired undefeated
16:22at 50-0
16:23and amassed nearly a billion dollars
16:25would continue participating,
16:27while Mayweather's skill
16:28and legacy remain undeniable.
16:30Henry suggests that
16:31constantly engaging
16:32in such spectacles
16:33risks diminishing
16:34the historical impact
16:35of his achievements.
16:36These post-retirement choices
16:38highlight the tension
16:39between entertainment,
16:40financial incentives,
16:41and preserving
16:42a legendary career,
16:43leaving fans and analysts
16:44to debate the true effect
16:46of these events
16:47on boxing's iconic figure.
16:49And that was the last time
16:50that we've seen
16:51Floyd Mayweather in the ring.
16:52Now, for the out-of-the-ring stuff,
16:54the stuff that kind of gives us
16:55a bit more of an indication
16:56as to what the hell
16:57has been going on
16:58with Floyd Mayweather.
17:00Why somebody who retired
17:01at 50-0,
17:02having beaten many
17:03of the greatest fighters
17:04of his era,
17:05has felt the need
17:06to continue competing
17:07in these gimmicky
17:08exhibition bouts.
17:09And especially given the fact
17:11that I think Floyd Mayweather
17:12made close to a billion dollars
17:13in his career.
17:14I mean, his career earnings
17:14are absolutely insane.
17:16His activities since then
17:18almost feel kind of demeaning
17:20to his legacy,
17:21I suppose you could say.
17:22Well, I can tell you
17:23that I did a little digging
17:24and actually there are
17:26a number of lawsuits
17:27that are currently active
17:28against Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s name.
17:31And they're worth
17:32a significant amount of money.
17:34From controversies
17:35around endorsing
17:36certain cryptocurrencies
17:37to millions of dollars
17:39worth of unpaid luxury items.
17:41Henry provides
17:42a detailed perspective
17:43on Floyd Mayweather's
17:44life beyond the ring,
17:46highlighting the financial
17:47and legal complications
17:48that have emerged
17:49in his post-retirement career.
17:50He notes that Mayweather
17:52faces multiple lawsuits
17:53involving unpaid luxury items,
17:55apartment rent,
17:56and disputed cryptocurrency
17:57endorsements,
17:59with some cases involving
18:00millions of dollars.
18:01None of these legal matters
18:02appears fully resolved,
18:04adding a layer of complexity
18:05to his public image.
18:06In addition,
18:07Mayweather filed a lawsuit
18:08against Showtime in 2026,
18:11seeking $340 million,
18:13alleging misappropriation
18:14of his fight earnings.
18:15Henry emphasizes
18:16that while Mayweather's
18:17accomplishments
18:18inside the ring
18:19remain legendary,
18:20his ongoing legal battles
18:21and participation
18:22in exhibition fights
18:23complicate the narrative
18:25of his legacy.
18:26These activities illustrate
18:27a post-retirement career
18:28that is far from straightforward,
18:30demonstrating that
18:31even the most celebrated athletes
18:33face challenges
18:34and scrutiny outside their sport.
18:36Fans, analysts,
18:37and the boxing community
18:38continue to debate
18:39the implications
18:40of these decisions,
18:41balancing respect
18:42for his historic achievements
18:43with questions about
18:44the motivations and consequences
18:46of his recent choices.
18:47These are all alleged
18:49and these are all the cases
18:50that currently exist against him.
18:52There's no record
18:53of some kind of settlement
18:54and as far as I know,
18:55a lot of these are ongoing.
18:56To add to that,
18:57Mayweather even lodged
18:58his own case
18:59against Showtime
19:00and he did that this year,
19:02reportedly seeking damages
19:03of $340 million.
19:05And the allegation there
19:06is apparently
19:08there's been a misappropriation
19:09of his fight earnings.
19:11Interesting that he's waited
19:12until 2026
19:13to lodge this kind of legal case.
19:15Now look,
19:16at the very least,
19:16we know there are allegations
19:18out there
19:18that he hasn't been paying
19:19for a lot of the things
19:20that he needs
19:21to live his lavish lifestyle.
19:22Now let's suppose
19:23that they're true.
19:24Why would one not pay
19:26for the things
19:26that they've been purchasing?
19:27Well, usually it's
19:28because you don't have the money
19:29but you want to sustain
19:30your high net earning
19:32individual high wealth lifestyle.
19:35And so Mayweather
19:36lodging that legal case,
19:37it does sort of make you think
19:38with the timing of it,
19:39perhaps he expects
19:40to owe quite a bit of money.
19:42That's it for today's video.
19:44Stay tuned until next time.
19:45Bye!
