Roger Mayweather to address Floyd's leave of absence

Roger Mayweather, trainer and Uncle to boxing prodigy Floyd Mayweather Junior, is one of the most accessible and out spoken members of Team Mayweather. When Floyd announced on video this week that he plans to take a one or two year hiatus from the sport and concentrate on his foundation and gym, it was predictable that neither he nor the CEO of Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe were available for public comment. Of course, loose gun, Roger is more than happy to address the issue and the fans on The Boxing Truth Radio this Sunday night at 6 PM Pacific Standard Time (9 PM Eastern Standard Time). Stop by The Boxing Truth to hear what Roger has to say. Listen to the show's LIVE stream below or visit The Boxing Truth for a podcast version on Monday morning?

damage control haha you are retarded lol..... Why don't you read all the hate threads on Floyd for trying to say that he will take 1 or 2 yrs off. I'll bet you'll be able to find more than a hand full. Floyd's image got hit for sure. Yeah, I say it's damage control time. But of course all the flomos will just say, I told you so. Floyd was just messing around, he wasn't really serious. What a joke. You guys will back him up whether he says something stupid or says something smart. Wake up man. Or does he have you all mesmerized and $hit. lmao................

They need to get on with it. **** being a fan of either fighter; boxing needs this fight to happen. This is the single most sought out fight in all of boxing. This fight would put it in the mainstream. If Floyd takes a break from boxing again, one of the biggest fights in boxing history doesn't happen. The Sports Press could give a shit less about any other fight. We still have Pac, but he's only good for a couple more fights. He will retire soon.

This interview with Roger, can be explained in two words. "Damage Control." But he was still talking about that crazy shit about A-Side Meth. Man STFU with that crap. If any one is on some kinda $hit, it would be you and Mayweather Sr. Can't even understand what your saying half the time. What are you on Roger? some kinda Z-side Meth. I don't know what it is, but you on something cause that can't be your natural self. lmao............

Caller: "Is Floyd scared of Manny Paquiao" Roger: "SHut the **** up" Hahaha that was quality! Also love the fact that he was on the phone literally only 30 seconds before doin his Angelo Dundee rant and how some people "don't know nothin bout boxin" Roger seems confident the fight will happen, sayin no one would turn down that money and that Floyd ain't scared of a guy thats been KO'd twice before. This guy is annoying me with his obsession with that make a wish video, Roger is gettin pissed off with him lol. Roger has made me more confident that negotiations may be goin well. "take 2 years off for what when he can make 100 million motha****in dollars to whoop Pacquiaos ass"

Roger said "Floyd ain't takin no 1 or 2 years off". He even said that Floyd just come back from a lay off so that would be dumb and he said "don't worry about what Floyd said". He made it clear they are gunnin for Pac by saying he's "training the guy that gon whoop Pacquiao" and how Floyd wants to whoop Pac and prove to everyone who the best is.
