Mayweather Sr back in lil Floyds GYM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant wait for 24/7 I think I will cry. Great to see father and son reunited. Reading the article would not shock me if Sr gets kicked out again. Or Sr might just say F' it and not show up anymore.

LAS VEGAS -- The last time Floyd Mayweather Sr. entered his sons gym, the ensuing exit exposed the toxic layer that lies just beneath the surface of their turbulent relationship.

The champion boxer effectively booted his father from the gym, barking, Get out of our way! amid a barrage of swear words and insults to seniors skills as a boxing trainer.

On Tuesday they reunited, sharing a brief embrace as unbeaten Mayweather Jr. trained with his uncle and Floyd Sr.s brother, Roger, for his May 5 super-welterweight title fight against Miguel Cotto May 5 at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Thats my son, lets forget about it, Mayweather Sr. said. Theres no hatred. My blood runs through him, and his through mine.

At the end of the day, I wish the best for him. Thats my son.

Mayweather Sr. also sounded a conciliatory tone with his brother, who had said Tuesday that Floyd Jr. is sharper than ever because he returned to the gym so quickly after knocking out Victor Ortiz for a world welterweight title in September.

Its definitely much better for you, to stay sharper, smarter and wiser; work is where wisdom comes from, Mayweather Sr. said.

As the conversation turned to the feelings of returning to the scene where Floyd Jr. had confronted his father, Floyd Sr. said: That was bad for everybody. A son doesnt do that to his father.

Mayweather Sr. admits he has a difficult time with not feeling appreciated for his contributions to his unbeaten sons multiple world titles. The elder Mayweather taught his son how to box, but was later incarcerated for dealing drugs; uncle Roger Mayweather has directed Floyd Jr.s professional career.

How can I not get the credit? Howd he learn to fight? Mayweather Sr. said. I was not a bad fighter myself. I was in the middle of my career but I couldnt give it everything. I had to take care of [Floyd Jr.] He fights like his daddy, and no one else. Come to my house and watch the videos. Thats what I taught him.

The elder Mayweather came to the gym with good health news, telling friends his use of allergy medicine has eased a lung ailment that previously severely affected him.

One thing Ive learned about life: live and let live, Mayweather Sr. said. I didnt come here to make no apology. I owe no apology. Im the father. He [Floyd Jr.] hasnt done that, either, even though a lot of people feel he should.

When it was noted Floyd Jr. had embraced his father, Floyd Sr. said, I guess Im going to have to go with that. His ego is too big to apologize. Mine could never be that big. Thats the problem. Theres no way Id ever do that to my father. You dont talk to your dad like hes someone who lives beneath a bridge.

I dont feel good in here, its my sons gym. The way you feel is the way it is. He made a statement [in last years argument] about all the things he had.... If it hadnt been for me, hed have nothing.

We went nine years without talking before. Then to come back with this? Dont scandalize me. You scandalize me, you scandalize yourself.

Mayweather Sr. later shook his sons hand, an uneasy peace if there ever was one.

Cottos is boring and them cameras are rolling 24/7 give the people what they want :deal

Goes back to what I posted way back when they had that fight during the last 24/7. Some father/son relationships are just volatile like that. I once saw a father and son get into a straight up fist fight over some bull****. Then an hour later they were sitting together in front of their TV watching sports talking it up like nothing ever happened. That's life. Not every family is the same.

Even in this interview he's being sort of negative and divisiveness, but I think Sr is being more calculated these days, he knows that the hate that Floyd has for him, motivate and drives Floyd to continue to train hard be his best, and shut up his main hater

I have the same thing with my friends.

I think Cotto's part during the previous 24/7s have been pretty good.

Sr coming back is a good thing for the Mayweather Gym.

Imperial1 · Apr 12, 2012

Good to hear . Im glad they made up ..But keep them off camera and focus on boxing !!

Hands of Iron · Apr 12, 2012

Good stuff.

Nobody truly knows their situation, but life is definitely too short.

Maybe it's just the skeptic in me, but it's weird that the last time Floyd Sr was in Floyd Jr's gym, it was during the filming of 24/7 and they just so happen to make up in time for the filming of the next 24/7.

Are they in on it together? Is Jr. taking advantage of Sr. by inviting him back just to start up conflict again for ratings? Is Sr. taking advantage of Jr.? Or are they just that dysfunctional?

Agreed. I think Sr. means well, he just doesn't know how to go about it. It's funny to me how he talks about Jr's ego, considering how egotistical he is himself.
