Floyd Mayweather Sr. recently spoke with EsNews about the rumors regarding his son, legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. possibly competing in a boxing match against UFC mega-star and reigning 145-pound champion “The Notorious” Conor McGregor.

While UFC President Dana White quickly shot down the rumor, which first emanated from The Sun out of the U.K., Mayweather Sr. said he remembers his son telling him about possibly coming out of retirement to box “some kind of MMA fighter.”

“He had told me the other day that he’s going to take another fight,” said Mayweather Sr. in the interview, which you can watch above. “He told me it’s [going to be against] some kind of MMA fighter.”

Regarding the rumored boxing match, which appears to be nothing more than a wild, unfounded rumor, Mayweather Sr. obviously seemed confident in his sons chances against the Irish UFC star.

“We’d beat the hell out of that man,” said Mayweather Sr. “My son can whoop him. He’s dead.”

("Minced martial arts is great. I watch it all the time.")

It looks like former UFC lightweight and welterweight champ BJ Penn has brought in a new secret weapon to help him prepare for upcoming UFC 127 bout with perennial contender Jon Fitch in Australia.

Fight Hype is reporting that “The Prodigy” has spent some time in Las Vegas honing his pugilistic skills with acclaimed boxing trainer Floyd Mayweather Senior.

The father of IBO, IBA, IBF and WBC welterweight and WBC super welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Junior, Senior has trained several top boxers including his son, Oscar De La Hoya, Leila Ali, Ricky Hatton, Joan Guzman and Chad Dawson.

“Joy” says that when “The Prodigy” first showed up at his gym, his nickname didn’t seem to be an accurate description of the Hilo, Hawaii native’s fighting prowess, but with a few days of his tutelage, Penn picked up a lot.

“BJ Penn is a cool dude, man. I’ll be honest, at first, it didn’t seem like he could fight that good. I mean, I don’t know about his ground game and all of that stuff, but he’s got some pop and in just the three days I’ve been working with him, he has improved, man,” he says. “In his words, man, he told me, ‘I ain’t never seen some of this stuff you’re showing me, man.’ And that’s only after three days. BJ is learning fast, man. He’s a good guy.”
