Oscar De La Hoya isn’t using the services of long time trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr. for his upcoming May 5th bout against his son, Floyd Jr. That much is known, what is not known at this time is what trainer De La Hoya will use.
De La Hoya who has been trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr. since 2001, has rejected Mayweather Sr.’s request for a hefty $2 million payment to get training for his upcoming fight. Quoted today by the Ap in regards to not getting the 2 million he asked for, Mayweather Sr. dissed De La Hoya for being “obvious” super tight and questioned if it was greed, saying: “It’s obvious the man is super tight,” Mayweather Sr. added: “What comes first in this particular situation, greed or the fight? But he can do what he wants. I make money. Money don’t make me. I’m going on with my life.”
Mayweather Sr was aslo confident of the role he played in the last few year and compared his relationship with De La Hoya to the assortment of trainers De La Hoya has gone through. “Oscar’s fired every trainer he’s had. He’s had all the so-called greats and he’s fired every one of them, but has he fired me? No. And that should tell you something.”
