Floyd Mayweather's uncle and trainer in recent quotes published by the BBC Sports says his nephew is unlikely to retire from boxing following his victory over Oscar de la Hoya in Las Vegas on Saturday. After the win Mayweather Jr confirmed he still plans to retire.

However Uncle Roger Mayweather tells the BBC: "Floyd ain't quitting. Too much of this money will make a dead man walk.

Roger added: "If I'm Oscar de la Hoya, I'm thinking, 'Why not fight Floyd again? Look at the money we made.'"

In regards to Oscar De La Hoya retiring, Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions was quoted by the BBC saying: "A great champ like Oscar deserves when he retires for it to be his decision, and his only. If he retires, he does so off a great performance. Oscar has nothing left to prove."
