There is no rematch clause for the mega-fight on May 2nd, and trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. says it won't even matter. Mayweather Sr. is predicting that his son, Floyd Mayweather Jr., will dominate and stop Manny Pacquiao so badly that nobody in their right mind is going to pay money to watch it again. The WBO/WBA/WBC welterweight unification takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Mayweather Sr. is not going to predict the wrong but he's pretty confident the contest will end with a knockout in his son's favor.
"I’m gonna be honest with you, I’m thinking Floyd is going to stop him. Well, I can’t tell you what round, I can’t tell you what round because in all the rounds he can get stopped in any one of them. I don’t know what round the fight could end, but hey. . .I could give you a round, I think. But I’m gonna tell you, in between 1 to 12 he’ll be down and out," Mayweather Sr. told Boxing Insider.
The fight is expected to generate between $300 to 400 million in revenue. Even with that massive sum of money, Mayweather Sr. doubts anyone will demand a rematch of what he predicts will be a one-sided contest.
"I don’t think people will want to see a rematch. The can of whooping that Floyd will give, there will not be another rematch. There won’t be another fight. When the fight people. . . sometimes, that would be like Sonny Liston whooping Joe Louis. That would be like Muhammad Ali whooping the bear. . . you know?," Floyd Sr. said.
