For this fight only....fair enough

Announcing this in public seems to be the wrong way to handle such a deal.

Oscar would probably never consider another trainer but it's HIS son he is training Oscar to fight and I just can't get my head around that.

This whole fight is just weired.

No, the only thing weird is Floyd SR

Anyone know what sort of amount he usually gets paid? Its hard to judge how steep a sum this is without knowing his average pay. Of course $2M will hardly dent Oscars fee for the fight and as long as Floyd Sr's head is in the right place for this I dont see Oscar wanting to go into this fight without him.

you gotta wonder just how much mayweather SR wants oscar to win this fight though...

Maybe on a concious level he will give a 100% but somewhere in his mind he has to be thinking "im training a guy to crush my son" i mean fuck, is mayweather Sr ego that big that he would want to see his son get beat so he could go 1 up on him??

again you gotta wonder, doubtfull maybe; should oscar start really hurting Jr in their fight, have him cut, maybe a lil busted up, how would SR react to that? i mean hes there watching his son busted up a bit and then telling the guy who to inflict more?

He must be one heartless son of a bitch if he can honestly say that $2m will be enough for him to train the golden boy to beat his son, and to be the one in the corner telling the golden boy how to inflict more damage during the fight

I think he needs Floyd Senior who has done so much for ODLH... he has given him a right hand, and defense along with better timing... post FMsr. trained ODLH is far superior than pre-FMsr., technically at least.
