LAS VEGAS, USA – Floyd Mayweather Sr is never one to hold back his opinions, and he wasn’t about to start while discussing Manny Pacquiao’s upcoming third meeting with Timothy Bradley Jr.
Mayweather Sr, whose 17-year-old junior lightweight Devin Haney (4-0, 3 KOs) will fight Rafael Vazquez (2-4) on the undercard on Saturday, April 9, said he expects another disputed decision at the MGM Grand.
“I think Bradley’s gonna win the fight…but they’re gonna give it to Pacman before they give it to Bradley,” said Mayweather Sr, whose son Floyd Jr won a unanimous decision over Pacquiao in May 2015.
The series between Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) and Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) has been marred with controversy as many feel Pacquiao deserved the win in their first fight in 2012, though Bradley won a split-decision. Pacquiao won their 2014 rematch by unanimous decision.
Asked whether he thought the 37-year-old Pacquiao should join his son in retirement, Floyd Sr said it was a good idea.
“That would be a good thing to do to tell you the truth because when you get that close to 40, you act 40. If he don’t win this fight, go sit your ass down,” said Mayweather.
Speaking of Floyd Jr, Mayweather Sr doesn’t want to see his son step into the ring again, either.
“I don’t want him to fight and I think he shouldn’t fight. He went through the game without losing and that’s what it’s all about,” said Mayweather Sr. – Rappler.com
