Next month, Manny Pacquiao will take on one of the toughest fights of his boxing career against Errol Spence Jr. This will be ‘Pacman’s first fight in two years and it has unquestionably generated massive buzz around itself. Moreover, not just the fans, but boxing bigwigs like Floyd Mayweather are already intrigued to watch this contest unfold.

In fact, ‘Money’ even offered to help Spence Jr. tackle Pacquiao. But the latter’s coach, Justin Fortune, feels ‘The Truth’ won’t really take Mayweather’s tips seriously.

Speaking to FightHype, he said, ”I don’t think Errol’s gonna take Floyd very seriously. They fought five years ago. It was five years or four years ago. I mean, it was this s***. The man’s shoulder was half torn off. So again, Floyd wanted to fight Manny. You know rematch offers were put out there and there was no takers.”
