Right hand could be an issue for Mayweather in September fight
Hopefully he'll be insured for a few trillion dollars at Lloyd's of London: We're talking, of course, of Floyd Mayweather's right-hand man. His punches caused some damage to opponent Robert Guerrero in last week's WBC welterweight contest, but Mayweather also suffered damage to his hands and it remains to be seen whether he will be in good shape for the September fight. to be observed.
It hurts, but how much?
Mayweather did suffer some pain in his right hand during the fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, but his left hand was not bandaged during the press conference after the fight, which allowed the injury to be seen Not too serious hope. His fight at the Grand Garden on September 14 is expected to be against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
Mayweather said at a press conference that he did not know when his hand was injured during the fight. His father, Floyd Sr., who is also his head coach, was in Mayweather's corner calling the fight and knew something was wrong by the end of the tenth round.
"He didn't have to tell me that his hand was hurt. I saw it with my own eyes," Mayweather Sr. said. "I know my kids."
Lost by KO
By Mayweather's own assessment, a hand injury may have contributed to his knockout in the Guerrero fight. Since that wasn't the case, he could only win 117-111 based on the three judges' assessments. On top of that, he maintains a perfect 44-0 record and, of course, the WBC welterweight title.
It's an important part of his Showtime pay-per-view package; this fight is just the first of a six-fight contract. "We've got five games left, so we'll see where I go from here," said the undefeated champion.
The battle will continue
Regardless, there will be a fight at the Garden Arena on September 14th. Golden Boy promoter and CEO Richard Shafer said Alvarez plans to fight Juan Manuel Marquez at the Thomas & Mack Center, while Timothy Burra Jr. Deli will also defend his WBO welterweight title.
“Without a doubt, we’re coming to MGM on September 14th,” Schaeffer said. "We'll see what Floyd's hands look like. But Canelo will be there and we'll see what the names are."
Austin Trout defeater Miguel Cotto has been named as a possible replacement for the Canelo fight if Mayweather is unable to fight. Cotto currently holds the WBC junior middleweight title.
However, Mayweather said it's entirely possible he could return to MGM this fall. "Maybe I'll take some time off. I'm in no rush," he said. “The plan is to come back here in September.”
Guerrero, meanwhile, was calm about his loss. "We'll get back in the gym, work on some stuff, and then I'll be back," he said. "Maybe one day we can do it again."
You can count on MGM to continue hosting these events. With a total attendance of 15,880 (including all ancillary bar, hotel and gambling revenue), the ticket price alone was $9,992,350. However, Mayweather still emerged as the biggest winner with $32 million in earnings.
