After watching the first episode of HBO's 24/7 Mayweather/Ortiz and witnessing the heated argument between Floyd Mayweather and his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., FightHype.com reached out to Jeff Mayweather to get his thoughts and to find out if everything is okay between father and son. Although Jeff didn't want to speak too much about the confrontation, he did comment, "It's been building up for years. They will be alright."
Since the airing of the show, everyone in the industry has been talking about the verbal confrontation that saw some very personal comments made between father and son before the two had to be separated. Although he was not around during this particular argument, Jeff, who's often been referred to as the peacemaker in the family, was previously seen on another series of 24/7, when he brought his brothers, Roger and Floyd Sr., together for a dinner with his mother to resolve other problems.
While his detractors may rejoice in the site of seeing Floyd Mayweather go through turmoil with his family, it's never good to see a father and son have the type of argument that was captured by the 24/7 cameras. Let's hope that Jeff Mayweather can again act as peacemaker and keep the most well-known family in boxing together.
