LAS VEGAS — 11:25 p.m. (2:25 a.m.)
The stage is set up inside the ring for the post-fight news conference, but Floyd Mayweather Sr. is holding court near the ring apron — and he isn't holding back about his son's future.
"He ain't got nothing left to prove," Mayweather said after the dominant unanimous-decision win over Manny Pacquiao.
The trainer is comfortable with his 38-year-old son's stated plan to retire in September after the final bout of his Showtime/CBS contract.
"He's fought pretty much all the guys that's around here," the elder Mayweather continued. "All the hard hitters. There's nothing left to do. My son needs to take this contract and end it. He's out of tough fights."
As for a rematch against Pacquiao, a topic that's likely to dominate conversation in boxing circles for at least a few days?
"It ain't necessary to do it again, because the same thing will happen," Mayweather said.
