Undefeated pound-for-pound king "Money May" Floyd Mayweather called his father Floyd Sr. immature after the latter criticized Adrien Broner's performance and called him a bum.
Money May said his dad is in his 60's, but acting like he's in high school.
He then reminded his Floyd Sr. he never won a world title while the person he is criticizing, Broner, is a three-divison title holder.
After Broner lost a one-sided fight against Shawn Porter, Floyd Sr. wasted no time hurling insults on Broner before indulging on self-promotion.
Floyd Sr. said Broner is a clown and a joke and doesn't deserve to be a top ranked fighter. He added that Broner looked "nothing" and "like a bum" with all the grabbing and holding.
And that all womanizing and drinking Broner is doing, said Floyd Sr., will not lead him anywhere.
Then the older Mayweather then began giving an "advice": He said that Broner needs to learn how to fight and should come and see him. Floyd Sr. added that "it's my way or the highway and no other way."
But the younger Mayweather lambasted his father for all the trash talking.
He noted that his dad is very biased and speaks highly of a fighter only if he's training him but when the Floyd Sr.'s fighter loses, he is nowhere to be found.
Money May recalled that Floyd Sr.'s fighter, Mickey Bey, lost to John Molina, who in turn was made to look like an amateur by Broner.
Floyd Sr., said Money May, would not talk about that fact.
Money May also pointed out that Broner is fighting under the Mayweather Promotions banner and is making him money. So all the criticisms is not just hurting Broner but also him.
The pound-for-pound king said that his dad should focus on his fighters and shouldn't have anything to say against those under him like Adrien Broner.
He also complained that Floyd Sr. tried to make it appear that the fight between him and Manny Pacquiao is a matchup up between trainers: his dad and Freddie Roach.
To emphasize his disgust, Money May gave his dad a warning: "I forgive but I don't forget."
