    Uh-oh.

    I thought this might happen.

    Floyd Sr. is using the media as his personal negotiating podium.

    He's pushing it now.

    I thought that the taunting he has been doing was colorful.

    Now I'm starting to get creeped out..

                Could be.

                I'm sure Oscar is more concerned with winning.

                But he is a business man as well.

                I wonder how many of a possible 20+ million people (gate/PPV) will know this back story.
                The media may play it up for the main******.. It could add something.

                But Oscar may just be focused on the ring for his fight, and less other stuff..

                  I'll say again though that I think it would be a greater potential liabilty to have the father of your opponent as your trainer in this situation.

                  What's to keep the circumstances together?

                  There will already be several confirmed hotheads at the center of it all.

                  I wouldn't want any potential circus around me if I was Oscar.

                  Press conferences... ect.

                  Imagine when Oscar and Sr. face off against Jr. for pre fight instructions...

                  That would be tense.

                  Sr. and Jr. right there face to face before the fight starts..

                  Anything could happen.
