The news of another possible Floyd Mayweather retirement has been the talk of the boxing world for the last few days. In a recent public appearance with a fan for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Floyd was asked about the albatross in the air: his pending fight with Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather stated that he was considering taking another year off from boxing. The video was released on YouTube and quickly spread from there. As word of "news" rapidly spead throughout the boxing community, the video was removed by the user, but the question still lingered. Mayweather's uncle and head trainer, Roger Mayweather, made an appearance on The Boxing Truth Radio on Sunday night to address the rumors. Co-host Ricardo Lois mentioned the video and asked, "What's going on with Floyd?"
"Don't worry about him; he ain't taking no two years off. He ain't taking no two years off now. He's the hottest thing in boxing," replied Roger Mayweather. "His thing is; he wants to whip Manny Pacquiao and prove to the world what his ass was on."
Lois then pressed the issue further. "Roger, you have to understand. Floyd Jr. goes on a video and he says it very clearly, 'I'm gonna take the next year to two years off'. Is this something you've discussed with him? What is this, man?"
Mayweather was adamant in his denial of another temporary retirement by his nephew. "Listen, listen, listen. Floyd ain't gonna take no year, next year, two years off. Shit. Floyd, right now, he just came off a damn near two-year layoff. So why would he take another two years off? That's stupid," stated Mayweather. Before Mayweather responded to questions from callers, he touched on the topic with a short parting statement: "He may say it, but we'll see."
