The REAL REASON Floyd Sr Keeps Calling Out Amir Khan! (REVEALED)

[F!x]

I had always wondered why Floyd Mayweather Sr seemingly had such a personal dislike for Khan but after seeing that recent video it's clear that Floyd Sr holds a grudge against Khan for choosing Roach over him when Khan first came over to the USA searching for a new trainer. I would guess that the hatred deepened when, after he parted ways with Roach, Khan again chose another trainer, Virgil Hunter, over Floyd Sr. If I remember correctly Floyd Sr was on the shortlist but Hunter eventually landed the job.

Floyd Sr says something along the lines of: "Khan came over to see me, he wasted my time. He went with the joke coach Roach." - It seems Floyd Sr may have either seen huge potential in Khan, or perhaps a good payday as his trainer, so he took Khan's rejection of him very personally and he still carries it with him to this very day.

The mystery is finally solved. This is the real reason why Floyd Sr has been calling out Khan so much - he's upset that Khan didn't choose him as a trainer and he wants Floyd to make Khan pay for not choosing him.

SR. trains JR. because Floyd is throwing pop a bone before he retires from the game. This gives the public the impression of family unity, showing Floyd in a benevolent light and conveying the image that Floyd wants us to have of him.
As to which brother is his trainer won't matter much because Floyd isn't going to fight anyone that he needs that much training for. Floyd cares about his image more than his 0... wife beating not withstanding.

I can't recall which fight, maybe the first Mosley one, just not sure, but Oscar refused to pay Mayweather the training fee he asked for. It was in line percentage-wise with what Mayweather had always been getting, but this time Oscar was getting a very large payday and felt that Mayweather should work for less. Oscar had been saying what a wonderful trainer he was etc. and then the fight came up. Mayweather asked for $2 mill and Oscar offered him $500,000. Mayweather refused. So they parted and that was that. It was all well aired out in the press and is absolutely accurate.

I think that happened in the Mayweather Jr fight - at the time, Floyd Sr said he couldn't train De La Hoya for less than $2 mil to fight his own son. If you remember Floyd Sr and Jr were on very bad terms at that point.

Later on, after Sr and Jr patched things up, Sr claimed he would never have trained De La Hoya for the Jr fight but I remember clearly (there are videos out there too) where Sr was more concerned with how much he was getting paid to be the trainer in that fight, rather than him refusing outright.

Yeah I did note when he said that in the interview, which explain why he doesn't like Khan.
