‘Floyd Will Have 1 or 2 More Fights & Then Call Time on His Career’ says Roger Mayweather

07/21/201909/11/2015 Olly Campbell

Ahead of his much-maligned 49th, and ‘final,’ fight this weekend against Andre Berto in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather and those around him, like right-hand man, Leonard Ellerbe, continue to insist to all and sundry that he will not be fighting on, despite continued public belief to the contrary.

Much has been made of the fact that the deteriorating health of his Uncle Roger is said to be key in the decision for Floyd to hang them up, and whether he will indeed resist the wealth of lures to make history and attain a perfect 50-0 slate, remains to be seen.

Mayweather: Denies ANY Wrongdoing Over IV Drip and Therapeutic Use Exemption

09/10/201509/10/2015 Olly Campbell

Initial reports published on Wednesday by SB Nation, that P4P boss Floyd Mayweather used an illlegal drip comprising saline and vitamin C on the eve of his “Fight of the Century” with Manny Pacquiao, has today led to the self professed ‘Best Ever’ speaking out via a statement to deny any wrongdoing.

The drip, which Floyd’s medical team said was administered after the weigh-in for rehydration purposes, allegedly included a 250-milliliter mix of saline and multivitamins, plus 500-mls of saline and Vitamin C.

Mayweather/Berto: 2,100 Tickets Still Left as Fans Vote With Wallets and Feet

09/09/201509/08/2015 Olly Campbell

The moment that Floyd Mayweather officially announced that he was to be fighting Florida’s Andre Berto for what is ostensibly the 49th and ‘final’ fight of his illustrious career, the reception from the boxing world – media and fans alike – was lukewarm, to put it mildly.

As not only the current #1 P4P star, but a rare breed of fighter who transcends the sport – his picking Berto – a man who has lost 3 of his last 6 – and then charging punters $75 for the privilege of watching it on PPV – left many feeling that Floyd is, for want of a better phrase , taking the pi**

I’d like to thank everyone for calling in today to hear the one and only Floyd “Money” Mayweather. But before we get to Floyd, I’d like to introduce the Executive Vice President and General Manager of SHOWTIME, Stephen Espinoza, who’s going to make a few comments.

Stephen Espinoza
Thanks very much Leonard. As most of you know, Episode 1 of ALL ACCESS “Mayweather vs. Berto” premiered last Friday. We had tremendous viewership numbers on the network for the premiere night. In fact, premiere night viewing of that episode was on par with the viewership for the premiere of “Inside Mayweather vs Pacquiao.”

Andre Berto: Dedicating Floyd Fight to ‘Those Who Believe in the Underdog’

08/31/201508/30/2015 Olly Campbell

When he steps between the ropes to face P4P star Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on September 12th, Florida’s Andre Berto will most likely be one of the only men on the planet who actually believes he has what it takes to crack the “May-Vinci Code” and win the fight.

A disappointing candidate in the eyes of most right thinking fans for Floyd’s 49th, and ostensibly ‘final’ fight, Berto will enter with some online odds makers as much 1/200 against, but has promised those numbers are misguided, and that he has what it takes to upset those odds, and do what 46 men before him have failed to do.
