Just reminding people that PBF will be answering questions on espn.com. If there's already a thread about this my bad.
Just in case anyone misses the chat. ESPN locks the chat after it's done so only insiders can view them:
Javier Garca Fresno, California: How do intend to deal with De la hoya's power since you are moving up in weight?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:01 PM ET ) He's going to have to worry about my power. He's going to have to be worried about my power.
Eric (Grand Rapids, MI): If you win the fight in close contest, would you be willing to give de la hoya a second chance?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:02 PM ET ) You mean when I win. Most definitely. If the fans want to see it again, then I'm all for it. He will be my last opponent, though.
john rogers: If Oscar wins, will you retire or request a rematch?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:03 PM ET ) There's no way he's going to win, so strike that question.
El Segundo, CA: Where do you rank this fight in terms of personal importance for your career?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:03 PM ET ) This is the fight that's going to put the stamp on my career and define my legacy. What better way to go out than on top and undefeated?
Bronx, New York: Floyd, How's your wrist? Are you concerned about it being damaged during the fight? You're one of my favorite all time boxers!
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:04 PM ET ) No, my hands are in great shape. I'm just looking forward and getting going.
Burns (Charleston, SC): What's up Floyd? I'm a huge fan and I've loved you on HBO 24/7. Once you are finsihed proving yourself in the boxing ring is there any chance you would ever consider taking on somebody in UFC? I know I'd be rooting for you buddy!
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:04 PM ET ) No. For what?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:05 PM ET ) I'm the best fighter in the world. The UFC is what it is. Everyone knows how I feel about that.
Nick, California: What advantages do you think you have over the golden boy?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:05 PM ET ) I'm the best fighter in the world and that speaks for itself.
Jim (Massachusetts): Floyd, we all know that your father use to be De La Hoya's trainer. Now that he's on board with you, has he given you any pointers on how to attack De La Hoya?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:06 PM ET ) Yeah, he's given me a lot of insights, but I know what it takes to beat Oscar, because he's a one hand fighter and he's not going to be competitive with me.
jose vazquez: to floyd: Would you consider this to be your last fight?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:06 PM ET ) Yes this will be my last fight.
Del ( Miami, Florida): Floyd, where do you think this fight will rank amongst the great fights of all time? Does this fight bring boxing back to where it use to be?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:07 PM ET ) Well, I'm going to dominate him from the word go. We'll see what he brings to the table. I know what I'm going to do.
Esteban (New York, NY): How do you feel your strength, and chin will carry forward in the higher weight class? In addition, does the added weight feel natural?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:07 PM ET ) I feel very strong. I'm ready mentally and physically and ready to go. He's going to have to worry about what I bring to the table.
Bobby Austin, Texas: How many rounds do you believe it will take you to knock out Oscar?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:08 PM ET ) I'm just focusing on going out and putting on an outstanding performance. THe rest will take care of itself.
Saul- Providence, RI: Your personality and ability are making boxing exciting to watch again. Why the talk of hanging up the gloves after this bout with Oscar?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:09 PM ET ) Because I've proved everything I need to prove. I'm looking forward to going on to bigger and better things.
Brad(Gulf Breeze, Florida): Since Sugar Shane Mosley beat Oscar twice why would you not want to fight him when this is over? Seems like it would be a huge payday?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:09 PM ET ) Shane brings nothing to the table.
Chad Gray, Hudson South Dakota: I was curious, before Oscar De La Hoya, who was the toughest competitor that you have faced?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:09 PM ET ) I fought a lot of good fighters out there.
Mitch (Cedar Rapids, Iowa): You and I both know you're winning this fight. Still, what worries you most about De La Hoya?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:10 PM ET ) I'm not the least bit worried about him. Not at all.
Nik (Branford, CT): What can we expect from you after your boxing career? Hollywood? Training younger boxers?
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:11 PM ET ) Yes, I'm looking forward to moving on with my promotional company. I'm looking to going into movies. Lots of television. Promoting a lot of concerts. I look forward to further establishing the Mayweather brand.
SportsNation Floyd Mayweather: (4:11 PM ET ) Thank you for all your support. Be sure to tune in Saturday night. I promise you I won't let you down.
