On Thursday afternoon, the always-candid Floyd Mayweather Sr. was spotted at Johnny Tocco’s in Las Vegas, Nevada, working with standout amateur Kevin Newman. Mayweather Sr. can be a private type of person but is also known for delivering some unique sounds bites whenever he decides to open up.
As initially reported by Jenna Johansson of On The Ropes Boxing Radio Show, Floyd Sr. recently revealed that he had spoken to his son, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and heard that a fight with Miguel Cotto was of interest to the undefeated star.
Mayweather Jr. recently received a delay on a 90-day jail sentence that was to begin on January 6th and is again eyeing a May 5th return to the ring at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. And with a fight with Manny Pacquiao seeming to be unlikely, and Golden Boy Promotions fighters Saul Alvarez and Robert Guerrero generating some interest, it is Cotto who has been the dark horse in the mix.
