Floyd Mayweather Sr., father and trainer of WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs), has issued a warning to Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs) and his father, Shah Khan.
Khan has been pursuing a fight with Floyd Jr. for at least the last two years. He's done everything possible to lure Floyd into a fight.
And a few months ago he even went as far as to call Mayweather Sr. to discuss the possibility of fighting his son on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Floyd Sr. said he warned Khan that he wasn't going to receive the opportunity. His warning proved true a few days ago, when Mayweather announced that he was fighting Andre Berto.
"I told him it ain't you. I told him you ain't gonna get no payday. I told him that you can quit waitin and stop because ain't no payday coming your way," Floyd Sr. said.
At some point in the conversation, things became tense with Floyd Sr. erupting on Khan and his father, who also became involved.
"I told him what I would do to him, not my son. I told him 'what I'd do to you.' Then he put his daddy on the phone and I told him 'you know I'd knock you out,' Floyd Sr. said.
Forget Mayweather Jr. - Floyd Sr. is willing to fight Khan, and his father - back to back in the same day. And Floyd Sr. feels confident that he would beat both of them.
"I would fight Amir Khan right now in the ring with little gloves or I would fight him in the gym with 16 ounces on. I would fight him with head gear on or head gear off. Either way, and his daddy too - I'd whoop both of them in the same day," Floyd Sr. said.
