Shocking: Floyd Mayweather loses control by predicting the fight Pacquiao vs. Neighborhoods!
In a scene that stunned fans and media equally, Floyd Mayweather starred in a moment of intense emotion and frustration when he was interrogated about his prediction for the expected fight between Manny Pacquiao and Mario Barrios, scheduled for this year 2025.
During an informal conference after a boxing event in Las Vegas, a journalist asked Mayweather what he thought about the return of his eternal rival, Manny Pacquiao, and his confrontation against the young and promising Mario Barrios.
What happened later was totally unexpected.
With a high and visibly annoying voice, Mayweather replied:
“I can’t believe that people still bet on him! They are old, it’s no longer the same! But he wins … then boxing no longer has logic.”
The statement was followed by an uncomfortable silence in the room. Some interpreted it as an emotional explosion related to the intense historical rivalry between Mayweather and Pacquiao, whose legendary fight in 2015 remains one of the most watched fighting of all time.
Mayweather continued:
“I am not saying that Barrios has it easy, but if Manny returns and destroys it … that will make many people – including me – everything we know about this sport is questioned.”
Rivalry still alive?
Although more than ten years have passed since their encounter in the ring, it is clear that the name of Pacquiao still causes strong emotions in the undefeated champion. Some experts believe that Mayweather is worried about the impact of Pacquiao could have on his own legacy.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao’s team has avoided responding directly to Mayweather’s comments, just saying that the Philippine is “concentrated, and ready to make history once again.”
What does the boxing world think?
Social networks exploded after Mayweather’s viral clip, and fans are divided. Some believe that their words show respect disguised as criticism, while others consider that it is simply an attempt to divert attention.
The truth is that with each statement, every emotion and every intense look, the entire world is more pending than ever of what promises to be one of the most commented fights of 2025.
Is Pacquiao capable of demonstrating that you still have what you need? Or will neighborhood confirm that a new era has arrived? One thing is safe: the fire between Mayweather and Pacquiao will never go out.
