Mayweather Sr.: 'My son would get hurt'

[AIR_KENG]

now we're going somewhere... i like the "i created his style and i know how to break it. and if oscar gives me my $2 million, oh yeah, we will definitely break that style."

lol...

[AIR_KENG]

The Mayweather's are setting themselves up for a huge payday win lose or draw.

that's what i thougt initially... not far-fetched considering he is fighting DLH

[beezy 14]

I think this is a big fight but you all know how PBF steps it up when some feel he may lose like ( castillo 2, Corrales) and when ppl thought they were moving him to fast maybe when he fought Manfredy. The fight being at 154 adds that x factor and I hope ppl don't discredit the win IF PBF wins. I had a feeling for the right money SR. would change his stance, but he can't get in there and execute the game plan no matter how much he taught PBF in the past.

[DeadlyCombos]

he said he wanted no part of this fight before but saying **** like this makes me think hes trying to get floyd to jump at the chance. i dont know about this fight for floyd though oscar might just woop that ass

[SquareCircle]

He was not the 25% of a boxer that his son is. He's jealous of his son, let him be in his corner & make some money. His son is not soft like his father, his son has balls & can take a great punch.

!

his son wouldn't be boxing on the world level at all if it weren't for his father, and his own career, even if it wasn't an elite one. If Floyd Sr. hadn't boxed, floyd probably wouldn't be near the athlete he is. It's how genetics work, it correlates to other sports but is obvious in things like football and boxing. if your dad played as a defensive or offensive lineman,chances are you'll be big too(Bigger than your father was and more strong because of his work ethic before you were born if he chose the right bride..and no i dont mean a big woman, but a clean drug free woman who wouldn't pollute the genepool and isn't too small.)

[OptimusWolf]

I'd worry that this fight would involve a huge dive from mr de la hoya.

Then Mayweather signs for golden boy within a few weeks, makes loads of money for himself and Oscar, who was ready to retire anyway.

Dodgy fight in my opinion, don't like the idea of a father training someone to fight against his son, even for "the right digits".

[Parody]

ferocity, who would win this fight?

Sugar Ray Robinson vs Antonio Margarito

Lol...lets hear the biased comments again

[jack_the_rippuh]

Mayweather Sr. is going to train Oscar De La Hoya to knock out his son and end his career for some money....****ed up and cool all at the same time

Mayweather Sr.: 'My son would get hurt'

GRAND RAPIDS -- As Floyd Mayweather Jr. promotes music and comedy in his hometown, and Oscar De La Hoya sings and laughs in the Caribbean, another obstacle to their proposed fight has been removed.

Floyd Mayweather Sr., who trains De La Hoya and last month said he would not participate in any fight against his son, has changed his mind.

"I was trying to be a father by not going through with this thing," he said. "I hate to do it, I don't want it to happen, and I never wanted it to get this far.

"But I'll tell you something, if Oscar talks to me now about fighting my son, and if he comes up with the right digits for me, to where I'm comfortable with it, the fight is on."

Mayweather Sr. also said if De La Hoya retains him as trainer -- and meets his $2 million asking price -- his son will get knocked out.

"That's something I don't want to do," he said. "I've been trying to avoid it. But mark my words, my son would get hurt. Oscar may take a few punches, but Floyd is going to get stopped in the fight, because I'm going to make it happen. It's 12 rounds. At some point, he's going to get hit. And if he gets hit and hurt, the fight is over."

Mayweather Sr. attributed his change of heart to a moment last week at mother Bernice's home on the Southeast Side, when he said his son showed up by happenstance but declined to enter upon learning of his presence.

Mayweather Jr. reacted with nonchalance to his father's prediction: "My dad is a great trainer. He'll go down in history as one of the best. But this fight is history."

"Oscar looked very impressive in his last fight, so I have to step up my game. I'm sure Oscar will step up his game, and I know my dad will have his man ready."

De La Hoya told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Sunday he planned to cruise the Caribbean on his yacht this week and ponder whether to accept a Sept. 16 career finale or retire on the strength of his knockout win last month over Ricardo Mayorga.

If he fights again, which he called "still 50-50 now," De La Hoya said Mayweather Jr. would be the opponent.

"The possibility of losing is obviously there," De La Hoya told the newspaper. "I have a lot of things to think about."

De La Hoya has the advantage of his own boxing company, Golden Boy Promotions, which has made a big splash in a brief existence.

Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's adviser and closest friend, suggested that might be the deciding factor.

"Oscar obviously has a history of taking the biggest fights," Ellerbe said, "and in this case, he not only could participate in the biggest fight in boxing history, but also promote the biggest fight in boxing history."

Mayweather Jr., who is promoting an entertainment weekend of hip-hop music, comedy and celebrity basketball here, also hopes to delve into boxing promotion.

"Oscar's roster of fighters is great," he said. "I'm just starting to build my promotional company. But someday, we're going to smile and laugh together, and do business as friendly rivals, and remember we had a great fight. It's really not about the money made, just about a great fight between two businessmen with great heads on their shoulders."

Mayweather Sr. vowed if that happened, he would not be troubled by teaching De La Hoya to knock his son's head off his shoulders.

"I taught my son everything he knows, but I didn't teach him everything I know," he said. "I'm the one who created the style, I'm the one who can break the style. I know just how to open it up, believe me. That's what the fight would come down to, whether I can break the style. And if I have to show you, and if Oscar puts the right money on the table, I grant you it will be broken

if thats all true then papa mayweather is an *******. if he were my dad I'd never talk to him again
