Roger Mayweather is never at a loss for words.
As a former professional boxer and sometimes trainer of his nephew, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Roger has seen all the sport has to offer.
After the announcement that Floyd and Manny Pacquiao had signed to fight in what will be the most lucrative boxing match in history, Roger offered his professional, although highly biased opinion on who would win.
"[Manny Pacquiao] is gonna get his ass whooped," Roger said. "And Pacquiao can't fight a motherfucking lick anyway. He gon' get his motherfucking ass damn near killed. [Floyd Mayeather Jr,] is gonna stop Manny Pacquiao, period."
With a professional record of 57-5-2 (38 KOs), Pacquiao and his legion of fans would strongly disagree with Roger's opinion.
Pac Man's trainer Freddie Roach predicts the defensive-minded Floyd will end up on the canvas.
"Floyd should enjoy being the A-Side while he can because on May 2 Manny is going to put him on his backside," Roach told The Associated Press.
Roger remained unimpressed by Pacquio's record and punching power during a chat with Boxing Scene.
"He's going to knock his ass down - boom. I'll tell [the referee] don't count too soon so he can get another ass-whooping. There won't be no rematch," Roger told BoxingScene.com. "He just got knocked out by Marquez and my nephew [dominated] Marquez. What is he going to do with my nephew? He is going to get stopped. To be honest, I'm not worried about fighting him because he's going to get a good ass-whooping."
The fight will take place in the 147-pound welterweight division. Pacquiao will put his WBO belt on the line against Mayweather's WBC and WBA (Super) titles.
HBO, who has Pacquiao under contract, and Showtime, the network Floyd fights for, will team up for a rare joint pay-per-view. Jim Lampley and Al Bernstein will reportedly call the fight from ringside.
PPV prices have not yet been announced, but don't be surprised if cable companies charge between $80 to $100, or more.
