PACQUIAO VS MAYWEATHER FIGHT OF A CENTURY CANCELLED?

An alleged report regarding the cancellation of scheduled boxing match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is now circulating on social media sites. The main reason was believed from the latest rumored knocked-out of Mayweather during a sparring session last week with former world champion Zab Judah (sparring partner) at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas. According to the report, Mayweather was not totally recovered mentally from that knocked out.
Mayweather is now undergoing mental health assessment to determine whether he can fight Manny in the so-called ‘The Biggest Fight‘ in the history of Boxing. Until now, Pacquiao’s camp tried to negotiate Mayweather’s camp but none of Mayweather’s representatives can be reached for comment. By the way, happy April Fools Day!
