Mayweather - Canada Filipino News
While everyone was talking about the mega fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr
this coming May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, former heavyweight
champion and boxing great Muhammad Ali was allegedly picking the Filipino to win the battle. In an
interview with TMZ, Rasheda Ali, daughter of the legendary boxer revealed that her father is
favoring Manny Pacquiao over his rival in the welterweight division.
Said revelation has immediately gained respect from Ali's supporters; even the Pacman himself
Manny Pacquiao thanked Muhammad Ali for choosing him over his fellow American. Unfortunately,
said report which says Ali has already chosen Pacquiao in the fight is false. In an article posted to
ABS-CBN News this morning, April 3, 2015, Muhammad Ali's publicist revealed that a report was
not true and said that it was just an opinion of someone who is very close to the boxing great.

"Muhammad never offered to anyone his prediction on the fight. Information that was published
earlier this week and picked up by other media is either a mis-quote or someone else's personal
opinion," Ali's publicist commented. However, despite his denial, the publicist insisted that
Muhammad Ali will join the rest of the world on May 2 to watch the epic battle between the two
great fighters in this era.
Meanwhile, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are doing everything to give the boxing fans
the fight they truly deserve. On Thursday, Pacquiao was visited by Katie Coric, a popular American
journalist. In her instagram account, Katie Coric posted a video of Pacquiao hitting the speed bag.
The Yahoo Global News Anchor has also visited Manny Pacquiao at his home in Beverly Hills in Los
Angeles, California. She was reportedly posed for a photo with Pacman's wife Jinky.
