“I think it certainly won’t hurt anything at all. It’s only three months, not three years. Floyd fights like once a year, so three months from the ring certainly won’t have any affect on his skills. I think what will be intriguing is the spin in which the media puts on the entire situation itself. The Manny fight ain’t worth talking about until the contracts are signed because this has been going on for two years now. It always seems to be a reason why the fight isn’t happening, so at this point, there is no need to even waste press on it until it’s official…I think it’s a possibility that the May 5th fight will be postponed; according to Arum, it wasn’t going to be Manny anyway, so it doesn’t affect Manny’s plans at all. According to Arum, Manny’s eye wouldn’t be healed in time to fight Floyd. I have no idea who Manny’s next fight is, but I know he can’t afford to have another bad showing or it may kill the fight with him and Floyd altogether,” stated world-class trainer Jeff Mayweather, who shared his thoughts on the news of his nephew’s sentencing and how it might affect a potential showdown with Manny Pacquiao, Celestino Caballero’s upcoming title defense, and much more.
