FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR: “HE’S STILL MY SON, BUT LIL FLOYD NEEDS SOME SORT OF REALITY CHECK”

“Man, everyone calling me saying I did nothing wrong. At the end of the day, I’m a man and you know, I’m gonna defend myself…In 13 years, I have made 7 world champions. Let him tell you how many Roger have made. I didn’t get mad until he started talking about get out of my gym. He wasn’t about to talk to me like I was his son…Lil Floyd done let money go to his head, man, and when you let money rule your life, you either gotta have a rude awakening or you have to go broke. I’m not saying I want to see either one of them happen, but money is the root of all evil…he’s still my son, but Lil Floyd needs some sort of reality check, whether that be in the ring or out…I have a lot of people that look up to me like a father figure or just a good friend, so if he doesn’t want to treat his daddy like a daddy, then that’s fine,” stated world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., who shared his thoughts on the verbal dispute he had with his son that was aired for the world to see this past Saturday on the debut episode of 24/7 Mayweather/Ortiz.
