Roger Mayweather is the well known uncle and co-trainer of Floyd Mayweather Jr, having worked with his nephew for all of his professional training career. While is role has changed in recent years with his brother Floyd Mayweather Sr. being the main voice in the corner, Roger still does most of the gym preparations for the sports #1 p4p boxer.
In part 1 of my “On The Ropes” boxing radio interview with Roger Mayweather, I get his thoughts on the fight that was Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. Roger gives his thoughts on his nephew’s performance and on Manny Pacquiao’s shoulder injury. Roger also talks about his brother’s reaction in the corner, and if he thinks Floyd could of done better in the fight. Additionally Roger talks about the possibility of a rematch and what he would like to see if one happens. Here is what Roger Mayweather had to say. (ontheropesboxing.com/otr-copyright-agreement/)
Jenna J: What did you think of Floyd’s performance over Manny Pacquiao?
Roger Mayweather: Floyd whooped his ass, that’s what he did. That ain’t got nothing to do with anything, he whooped his ass. Obviously he whooped his ass because of how big the fucking scoring was on the fight. Pacquiao didn’t do shit.
Jenna J: Were you surprised by how one-sided the fight was?
Roger Mayweather: I’m not surprised. I actually told my nephew, I said, “You need to start going to his motherfucking body, start taking that body away from his ass and you’re gonna stop him,” but he didn’t do it. But his hands were hurting, I know his hands were hurting because his hands were hurting in the backroom when I was training him. I was warming him up and his hand was hurting. He did what he could do but if they fought again, he’d knock him out. If Floyd and Pacquiao fought again, Floyd would knock him out.
Jenna J: What do you make of Pacquiao’s shoulder injury?
Roger Mayweather: Whatever he do, I don’t think that made a difference. I don’t think that made a difference because the thing of it was, my nephew was on top of him and he couldn’t really do anything as far as keeping Floyd off of him. That’s how it was.
Jenna J: Do you think there’s any point in even having a rematch?
Roger Mayweather: I think it was one sided but I think they should have a rematch. Why I say that is because if Floyd fought Pacquiao with good motherfucking hands, he would stop Pacquiao, period. He would stop Pacquiao. I did say that Pacquiao fought a good fight but I also know that Floyd’s hands were hurting because I train Floyd, but it is what it is.
Jenna J: In the corner, Floyd Mayweather Sr. was getting upset because he didn’t feel he was doing what he wanted him to do. What were your thoughts on that?
Roger Mayweather: Floyd(Sr.) don’t even train Floyd, so it don’t make no difference about what he says. Don’t mean shit about what he said. Floyd don’t train Floyd, and he didn’t even know Floyd’s hand was hurting. I knew Floyd’s hands were hurting because I train Floyd every day. What does he know? He don’t know nothing. Floyd’s hands were hurting every day, but he fought him anyways.
Jenna J: Did you guys know anything about Pacquiao’s shoulder before the fight?
Roger Mayweather: I didn’t know anything about his shoulder. I didn’t know anything.
Jenna J: In some replays, it appeared to some people that Floyd would pull and twist the arm of Pacquiao.
Roger Mayweather: Well if it was, I didn’t know it. My thing is, I told my nephew when he fought and his hand was hurting, I just said, “You can outpoint him anyways, so it’s not so much that you have so much impact, but you can outpoint him. You’re ain’t gonna look the way you normally look, but that’s part of boxing.”
Jenna J: Do you think Floyd is disappointed that he didn’t score a knockout?
Roger Mayweather: Yeah he is. That’s why I said they could make that fight again. I’m sure he’s mad because all the talk that people were saying that Floyd is gonna knock Pacquiao out and this and that and the other. He never got no knockout. He never even dropped Pacquiao, so I’m sure that through that performance, he never did anything that he said he was going to do.
Jenna J: Do you think there’s unfinished business in this fight?
Roger Mayweather: Yeah, I believe that fight could be made again and he will get what he wants with Pacquiao, I believe he will get that. I know his hands were hurting because his hand was hurting in the gym.

hahahahahaha like father like son, like uncle like nephew!
With Floyds Good hands…. Floyd can run better!!!!! What an chicken!!!
If Dela Hoya fopught Mayweather at DLH’s peak, he would ahve KO’d Mayweather.
If Pacquiao fought Mayweather the way he fought Hatton, Mayweather would ahve been KO’d.
If, if, if, then, then, then.
Forget the past, we’re talking of the recent fight.
Sorry Roger and Jenna, there was no ass-whooping done by Mayweather. Maybe you need eyeglasses by now. Compu box is a fraud just like Team Mayweather. If your team did not hire and pay Kenneth Simms to deliberately injure Pacquiao’s old shoulder injury on April 4, then we could have seen a better fight. You should know how painful a torn rotator cuff is. You see, your team did all the dirty tricks even before the fight began. Floyd was given a pass to roid up all he can while he would not lose blood like what they did to Pacquiao, therefore he thought he was a superhuman and abused his hands injuring it in the process that resulted to him fighting like a coward during the fight. Karma is a bitch.
You just have to look at his face how scared he was against lightweight fighter. If there will be a re-match, roiding up must be legalized in the contract so that the playing field is EVEN.
Looks like you know something..yeah, there wasn’t any news about Floyd having tested..that’s shady.
im with you bro.
Ass-whooping your face! Shut up! Showtime and HBO “the Judas” couldn’t even make a video of the fight highlights. LOL. Cuz reviewing the fight would open your eyes to who really landed the better punches, who landed more, who hurt someone more, and who REALLY WON!
Weeehhh
if mayweather engage pacman sure he got kayoed
People, mainly casual boxing fans & including his opponents, expecting a dogfight with Fraud ScumWeather Jr. are IDIOTS. He’s a boxer, left jabs, snapping rights, then he’ll RUN & CLINCH when needed. He’ll only engage in a slugfest when he know he could take take his opponent’s punches.
He’s been doing that for 47 and now 48 fights.
Roach did a lousy job preparing Pacquiao to deal with JailWeather’s running & bear-hugging tactics.
And BTW, everyone knows ref. Kenny BrainLess adores & worships DoucheWeather Jr…. Seems like Roach was OK with that.
What a joke!!! Floyd can run better if he has a good hand!!!
mayweather injects his hands before each fight.. he is allowed to in las vagas. you think he forgot to do it this time? his team is so full of shit. . he was never knocking manny out.. he dreams that he can.. he puts photos on his instagram of marquez knocking manny out. . wishing it was him.. floyd will not throw a hard punch while his opponent is throwing a punch.. marquez has the balls to do it.. . thats why he got the KO.. mayweather isnt knocking anything out.. “little” manny backed him up like a bitch rocking him back..
Wow! Straight from the horses mouth..May i ask you Roger, If floyd admitted that he has spy on Team Pacquiao and Your nephew had hand injury, Did NSAC gave your nephew a anti inflammatory shot prior to the fight? Why do compuBox stats was wrong?Why do the nevada judges scores it unanimous when it was obviuos the fight is closed?Why do NSAC commissioner resigned after the fight?
Pacman landed 98 punch compare to 68 for floyd.. pacman landed 30 more punch in boxing24 slomo… its clear pacman was robbed.. i want all those boxing wroters/ analyst eat thier words.. that floyd really dominate the fight..actually pacman beat floyd in his own game. the counter punching.. it was mayweather who went to school and missing.. yeah its true mayweather throw more punch but landed fewer.. its a shame for boxing.. you can watch slomo in youtube being scored round by round in boxing 24
Your nephew only fight when the odds of winning is in his favor and not outside las vegas…TBE?
Thats why it took him five years to finally decide to fight manny…He gets judges nod just by clinching and
eluding aggression.Floyd is an expext on boxing mentalism…lol.
Floyd is an embarrassment to boxing for the whole world to see.With all the advantages and being a bigger man, still fighting like a COWARD! Floydhugs, Floydclinches, Floydheadlocks and Floyd ran like a CHIICKEN got its head cut-off.I bet, even with two good hands,Roger,your cousin still couldn’t hurt Manny let alone a knockout.Floyd’s wrists&hands are tiny like a baby and frigging glass, that why only fighting in vegas, to inject and numb with xylocaine.One or two more fights, when Floyd retires, NOBODY will talk about Meaweather no more!
Yes…floydie always fight wth his good feet,,,,his legacy is running away from him….very sad,,,,and very fast….
he didnt KO, didnt K down, he didnt even hurt him…
you could see floyd was scared of pacquiao than any other of his 47 opponents, floyds run, he run, he run, and he run some more. then floyd hug and hug and hug and then hug some more.
If Floyd’s hands were “hurting” (i.e., “injured”), and he did NOT report it in the NSAC form that both fighters filled up and signed on the day of the weigh-in, does it mean Mayweather “lied” about it? Should people who watched the fight or bet on it also SUE Floyd for “fraud”? 😉
He is a dancer,,, a runner,,, huggy bear,,,, floyd is doomed he never get the respect of the people,,, even his fellow americans,,, poor floydie he never get he wants ,,,, the respect of the boxing world,,,,
We can see Mayweather sr was very confused about what mayweather jr is trying to do that’s why Mayweather sr look like mad at Floyd jr.i think that was in fourth round.
Manny tried to shot Floyd’s mouth, but Floyd keep on avoiding Manny that’s why Floyd took only one hard punch on his mouth not enough to shot Floyds mouth.
