Floyd Sr. "No way, no how, i dump Oscar to train my son"

[Sin City]

I guess family isn't important to you..

They are both to blame.. The father is too controlling.. the son is a prick. It's a bad match up. When your son has treated you like **** because you treated him like **** what else are you gonna say? If there's no love there, theres no love period.

Its true what Devious is saying. For the first fight, he claimed that he would'nt train Oscar due to the fact that Oscar wasnt going to pay him the $2mil that he requested. Sr then was seen lurking around Floyd Jr's training camp during his training for Oscar. Then they had a falling out again, and Sr. went running back to Oscar.

Late last week in a press conference, Floyd Mayweather Jr. made it public his discontent with his Uncle and Trainer Roger Mayweather. Mayweather Jr is upset that his Uncle is training Steve Forbes for his upcoming battle with Oscar De La Hoya on May 3rd. Mayweather Jr is hoping to fight De la Hoya in a rematch this September and feels that his Uncle being in Forbes' corner is a conflict of interest... especially since a victory by Forbes could jeopardized Mayweather Jr's rematch plans with De La Hoya. Instead of telling his Uncle privately that it was either drop Forbes or hit the highway, Mayweather
Jr. let his Uncle know his feelings on the matter through the Media. Not only did Mayweather Jr. threaten to fire his Uncle, but he also threatened to replace his Uncle with his estranged Father, Floyd Mayweather Sr. Mayweather Jr. said he'd be willing to pay his father more money than De la Hoya is paying him.

So the Million Dollar question has been, would Mayweather Sr. drop De La Hoya to train his son? Speaking exclusively to MaxBoxing, Mayweather Sr. told boxing scribe Steve Kim that wasn't having any of it.

Mayweather Sr. tells MaxBoxing: "My son did everything that a kid can do to a father. He can kick me out the house that I was paying for. He told a lie that I wasn't paying the mortgage. I wouldn't ever do that to my own kid. I was paying the mortgage, never missed paying the mortgage. He gave me a van- took the van back.

Mayweather Sr. added in regards to the treatment he has received from his own Son: "He has done so many things, man, I can't even think about what he
did as a son to a father. I don't want to go back."

Mayweather Sr. re-affirmed to MaxBoxing his commitment to De La Hoya, saying: "That's who I'm working for, that's who done paid all my bills since I've been to Vegas. Oscar's the one that made me a wealthy man, not Floyd." Mayweather Sr. added: "Oscar's looking good and Oscar's the one I'm going to train. I'm not thinking about training little Floyd, no way, no fashion, anyway. It wouldn't make no difference."

Cats In The Cradle


My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then
