It seems that Floyd senior may hang up his mitts when his son hangs up the gloves
"I had high hopes and I always believed my son was going to become a hell of a fighter, you know?" Mayweather Sr. said. "But I'm going to be honest with you. I could never have imagined he'd become the biggest athlete in the world ever. Doing what he is doing, this is all my thoughts and hopes and wishes come true.
"You say things you were wishing for and that you believe and then they come true, but even more. The Lord has shown me something really great."
The elder Mayweather, 62, said he's not going to stay in boxing much longer. He'll be with his son until the end and then that's likely going to be it.
"Right now, today, even before this fight happens, I don't need to work no more right now," he said. "We got this fight and then another fight, and I'm going to be honest with you. I don't think I'm going to be around the game that long no more. It will be pretty much the right time when my son gets through.
"See, a lot of people think I'm just going to keep on training and training, but man, I've done my job. I plain went out and done my job. If I don't make another champion, I've done what I'm supposed to do."
