FLOYDS JR. AND SR. READY TO JOIN FORCES AGAINST DE LA HOYA

In an unexpected turn of events, Floyd Mayweather Jr. appeared at the Las Vegas stop of the cross country publicity tour hyping his May 5th fight with Oscar De La Hoya, arm-in-arm with his estranged father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., announcing that the two may reunite.



“He may be in the corner, but not your corner,” Mayweather taunted De La Hoya, who, for his seven previous fights, had hired Mayweather Sr. as his own trainer, parting ways with the loquacious tutor after balking at the elder Mayweather’s demand of $2 Million to train De La Hoya against son Floyd Jr.

"I can say this, that he is still my father," Mayweather said. "If it comes down to us going to war, I'm going to ride with my father."

Mayweather Sr. trained his son throughout his pro career until the two had a major falling-out over Jr’s hiring of music mogul James Prince as manager.
