He's been calling him "Sergio" the past three press conferences 
If you aren't familiar with James Prince it's probably because nobody in boxing dares to write anything negative about him. He made his money selling exotic cars in Houston (wink..wink) and started a rap label (rap-a-lot records) made more millions in real estate, restaurants, management, his son manages Drake as well as other artists. One of the first boxers he managed was Floyd Mayweather, that didn't turn out to well for Floyd but you never hear Floyd say a bad thing about him.
This is the one man in boxing that nobody says a bad word about.

“We were at dinner one night and I got a call that there was a disturbance in my gym,” Arum told Dan LeBatard and Bomani Jones. “Floyd apparently had asked us not to do a fight in October but to do it in December after James Prince’s contract with him had run out. The disturbance in my gym was that some people came over, with or without the knowledge of James Prince, and proceeded to break a couple of heads of people in Mayweather’s camp with baseball bats. So the gym was splattered with blood. Floyd came to my office the next day and he said, ‘Prince wants his money from the fight that’s coming up.’ I said, ‘Fine, if that’s what you want. I’ll write him a letter of credit.’ Floyd said, ‘Prince don’t do no letters of credit. You better send the cash.’ So I wrote a check, and I made a contract with Prince’s lawyer and he got paid the money that he said he was entitled to as Floyd’s manager.”
Arum went on to say that Prince was always very “business-like” when he worked with him, and he referred to Prince as a “man of his word.” He also said that he didn’t know whether or not Mayweather and Prince had experienced a falling out at the time. But he did say that, at the end of the day, Prince ended up getting paid roughly $600,000 for…something.

One of those classic characters that makes boxing so colorful.
