Hall of Fame boxing trainer said Floyd Mayweather’s money will never match what Manny Pacquiao has accomplished in his career.

When boxing was put on hiatus, fans started a social media debate aiming to know who had the better career between two legendary fighters, Mayweather and Pacquiao. Several boxing personalities weighed in on the subject, revealing whether they would rather have Mayweather’s billions or Pacquiao’s legacy.

Though the world has been dealing with the financial crisis brought by the pandemic, a large percentage of boxing fans still chose the Filipino legend’s eight division world championships over the American’s net worth and undefeated 50-0 record.

Hall of Fame trainer James “Buddy” McGirt was one of the people who recently expressed his thoughts about the matter. Just like most fans, the former two-division world champion also favored the fearsome warrior mentality of Pacquiao over Mayweather’s infamous handpicking of opponents.

McGirt also emphasized that being a multi-division champ is more important than making tons of money while staying in your comfort zone.

“I’d say the 8-division champion, because it’s something you will always be remembered for,” McGirt told Elie Seckbach of EsNews.

You still got a lot of money, you don’t have a billion dollars, but you got something your kids and grandkids could remember. It’s a legacy, something that lives on forever,” he continued.

Buddy McGirt has joined Bernard Hopkins in saying he would prefer to have the legacy of Manny Pacquiao over Floyd Mayweather Jr despite the undefeated American defeating the Filipino superstar on points in Las Vegas five years ago.

Leading trainer McGirt, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last year, made the comments in an interview with Elie Seckbach this week.

McGirt was echoing the sentiments made by fellow Hall of Famer Hopkins in an interview with The Ring last month.

“I’d rather have Manny Pacquiao’s legacy than Floyd Mayweather’s,” Hopkins said.

“Manny fought everybody. Floyd fought guys (on his own terms).

“Also, I don’t think Floyd gave two you-know-whats about how people feel whether he fought the best guys or not.

“It was strictly business for Floyd.”

Meanwhile, British heavyweight Dillian Whyte is in the same camp, accusing the 43-year-old American of cherry-picking his opponents before his final professional fight against UFC star Conor McGregor three years ago.

“A lot of guys cherry-pick, like Floyd Mayweather with Conor McGregor. We all knew Floyd was going to beat McGregor,” Whyte told Sirius XM.

“Anyone with any sense knows in a boxing match Floyd’s going to beat him because Conor ain’t got the skill.”

What bank allows you to deposit a legacy ?
What landlord takes legacy as a form of payment ?
Will the tax man take one's legacy into account when taxes are owed ?

Maybe if you're a homeless bum, your legacy might get you some spare change.

Floyd is the the one who fights bums and the opponents are embelished. Maidana was supposed to be great win for floyd, whilst broner (who was competitive with maidana and gave maidana a good fight to elevate maidana credibilty) was considered a bum for pac.

I don’t understand honestly. Floyd fought everyone Manny fought before Manny did except Cotto and JMM.
