In 40 professional fights, Floyd Mayweather has never lost. Now that he's expected to square off against Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather doesn't expect his record to be blemished come March 13.
"The thing I think is that I don’t want the fans to be really shocked by what happens," Mayweather said on HBO's Joe Buck Live. "It’s nothing new because he’s been knocked out before and he’s lost before. I’ll be victorious. You can believe that."
While no official fight announcement has been made, promoters Bob Arum and Richard Schaefer planned to tour Cowboys Stadium with owner Jerry Jones and HBO Sports president Ross Greenberg. The stadium could be a potential host of the reported March fight. Other potential sites include the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and the Superdome in New Orleans.
Regardless of location, though, Mayweather isn't lacking any confidence.
"I already know what’s going to happen," he said. "Once we get in that square circle, it’s just me and him, one-on-one. My record shows I am the best at what I do. I’ve been champion my whole career basically."
Mayweather's claims weren't exactly "trash talk," and the 32-year-old said he respects Pacquiao's ability.
"I think he’s a good fighter," Mayweather said. "I’ve been around the sport a long time. I’ve been dominating the sport for 15 years now. Nobody has defeated me yet, so we’ll have to see."
Needless to say, he's not the only one looking forward to seeing exactly what will happen.
