Evander Holyfield Believes Manny Pacquiao Vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight Will Be Fixed So Pac Man Wins

 

Former heavyweight world champion Evander Holyfield has a very interesting opinion on the upcoming Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight. He believes Pacquiao will win, but not necessarily because he's the better fighter.

 

"Mayweather won't win, because from what I've seen, boxing doesn't want nobody to get out [of the sport] undefeated," Holyfield told SportsOnEarth.com. "They want to keep the money in the sport by doing things to make it happen this way: Somebody beats the man, and then somebody beats the man who beat the man, and then somebody beats the man who beat the man who beat the man who beat the man. So I'll tell you what's going to happen, because it's going to be a close fight. Yeah, it'll be close, and Pacquiao is going to get the decision. Then it's going to be a matter of whether Mayweather is going to fight again, whether he feels like he has made enough money to say, 'I ain't got to fight.'

"But it's a good chance Mayweather is not going to hang it up, so there's going to be another $100 million [fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao] and all like that. [Boxing executives] set it up that way. It's because they will not let you out of boxing undefeated, not unless you trick them."
