Mayweather Sr.: "My son would get hurt"

**_the_answer_** · 06-04-2006 11:41 AM

hahaha!!!

very clever....

father and son tactics...

why the hell would he train oscar he'll be against your son?

for the money

do they need it badly?

i dont think so... :P

even if oscar loses, mayweather sr. will still get paid.

thats it!!!

you'll get paid to teach your fighter the wrong way because hes against your son!

or the other way around...

he' ll teach oscar the real way to stop floyd junior but he'll also tell floyd to change his style that will favor him against oscar's style that he's (sr) gonna teach oscar..

pretty complicated huh...

but im telling you all...

a father knows whats best for his son
and he'll love to see his son be a great boxer...

and he doesnt really care at the $2 million...

cuz he knows more money is coming if his junior is gonna win this fight..

plus the name 'FLOYD MAYWEATHER' will be stab in boxings greatest...

teach de la hoya how to lose

I can't see how his dad changes all that much... I know Mayweather Sr. helps alot with Oscar's defense, and stuff, but if Mayweather comes in with a jab I see him beating Oscar pretty easily.

To be honest i think all 3 are just gently starting to stoke up interest in the fight -introducing a Father Vs Son angle to make it even more interesting...

...and we're all buying it - literally.

Think about it folks - this is all just generating interest - perhaps Floyd Snr actually thinks his son will beat Oscar.... after all, when Oscar retires, Snr's career goes down a pegg.

I truly believe, with uncle Roger out of the picture for a little, Snr will cross camp after this fight.

Alot is on the line in terms of legacy, reputation, etc.

It's also a 50/50 fight
=
A MUST BUY FOR PAY-PER-VIEW!

Braggin rights in the family up for grabs. "Hey roger you remember how i trained oscar to kick floyds ass, im a better trainer" "Son you better shut up or ill get oscar in here"

It is all, of course, promotion. This fight will happen without a doubt and Mayweather Sr will train Oscar

Bottom line is there is huge, huge money to be made all round. It makes sense for all parties.

Floyd however is around his peak, and Oscar WAY beyond his. Floyd will dance and move all night and Oscar will bow out on a losing note, losing a very wide decision IMO.

Normally I don't like Floyd Mayweather Jnr because he's too arrogant for my liking especially for his disgraceful comments about Suger Ray Leonard but I hope he beats Da la Hoya and I think he will. Because for as much as I don't like Maywaether Jnr the man, but what an excellent boxer I dislike his Dad for his recent comments that are worse than Mayweathers trash comments because with a Dad like that who needs enemies. I think Maywaether is too fast for Da La Hoya though it would be a cracker because both are two of the most accurate punchers of there generation. Though a more interesting fight would be Uncle Roger and Mayweather Snr you just never know. Mayweather is good but he isn't as good us Suger Ray Leonard and never will in my opinion.
