Mayweather’s father bets on Pacquiao bout
Print Edition
THE long anticipated fight between unbeaten American Floyd Mayweather and Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao will “definitely” happen, Mayweather’s father has predicted.
“That fight’s going to happen, trust me,” Floyd Mayweather senior told fighthype.com. “That fight’s definitely going to happen. It’s a fight for the world, man, right there.”
Mayweather junior, the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association super welterweight champion, pushed his record to 47-0 with a lopsided points victory over Marcos Maidana in a rematch in Las Vegas last month.
Mayweather senior acknowledged that he hadn’t received any special word from his son on a potential Pacquiao fight. But he believes public interest is so high that it must eventually happen. “It needs to happen,” he said. “The world wants to see it — and they’ll want to see it again when Floyd beats Pacquiao.”
