Buddy McGirt Backs Pacquiao in Mayweather Rematch Based on Activity
Trainer Buddy McGirt believes Manny Pacquiao's recent fight activity gives him the edge over Floyd Mayweather in their upcoming rematch set for September 26.
Former two-weight world champion and trainer Buddy McGirt has weighed in on the highly anticipated rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, scheduled for September 26 in Las Vegas. McGirt cites a significant advantage for Pacquiao due to his more recent fight history.
While Mayweather, who boasts an unblemished 50-0 record, has not fought professionally since his 2017 victory over Conor McGregor, Pacquiao has remained active, participating in eight bouts since their first meeting. His last fight ended in a 12-round draw against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios last July, marking a return after a lengthy hiatus.
McGirt stated, "I’m [going to] go with Pacquiao for the simple fact that Floyd hasn’t fought – like [in] a fight-fight – for how long? These exhibition fights, you can’t really count them." Despite his support for Pacquiao, McGirt acknowledged the possibility of Mayweather pulling off a victory, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of the sport.
