According to ‘KingRy’, they will face each other on February 6
The world of boxing continues to use some classic hooks to capture the public's attention, and right now the two big names are Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao , who, interestingly, even had a fight planned to be shown on Netflix this year, but it was scrapped because ‘Money’ was not satisfied with the organization.
Since then, both one and the other have been linked with several rivals, and there was an attempt for ‘Pac-Man’ to be part of the card that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will headline in Cardiff on December 11. His opponent would have been Conor Benn , but he did not agree with the date and prefers the Filipino next year, as he has just been swept by Ryan García.
That's the name: Ryan Garcia . Now that the Californian seems focused on boxing and is finally a world champion, the popular fighter is a hot commodity. The thing is, ‘KingRy’ dropped the bomb just a few hours ago: "We have an announcement. We’re going to fight Floyd Mayweather on February 6."
The welterweight champion added: "Floyd, we're going to kick your ass. This is not an exhibition; it's a real fight. I'm going to shut him out, it's going to be in Las Vegas, I'm going to hurt him badly. I want him admitted to the hospital for two days” , he said, and emphasized: “I'm not joking”.
García is the reigning welterweight champion and defended his belt emphatically with a second-round victory over Conor Benn in September, and he is now willing to put his title on the line against "Pretty Boy." Mayweather last fought professionally against Conor McGregor in August 2017 , defeating the Irishman by TKO in the tenth round. Since then, the former champion has taken part in exhibition bouts and his 50-0 record has remained unchanged.
In any case, Floyd is currently embroiled in a lawsuit against the event organizing company CSI Sports over an alleged breach of contract stemming from his fights against Pacquiao and Mike Tyson. Added to this is the lawsuit against his former associates, whom h e accuses of swindling him out of more than 500 million dollars . Will Mayweather really put his 50-0 on the line at 49 years old? If he fights and wins, he would even break Bernard Hopkins' record as boxing's oldest champion, which stands at 49 years and 94 days, while "Money" would be nearly 50 years old.
