As the countdown continues to Floyd Mayweather’s mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on May 2, The Money Man’s daughter Iyanna Mayweather has shared her thoughts about life in training with her champion father.
Mayweather vs Pacquiao will generate revenue upwards of $300 million in what is being billed as the most lucrative bout in boxing history and, ahead of the May showdown, Iyanna Mayweather offered some insight into her dad’s intense training regime.
‘When I watch my dad train, it’s inspiring to me,’ she said.
‘To work at hard not only at working out, but to work hard at everything.
‘I think my dad fighting Pacquiao… it’s just another fight in my opinion.’
Floyd Mayweather and Pacquiao have been keeping boxing fans updated daily on social media with their training schedules and Iyanna Mayweather explained how impressed she was with her father’s work ethic in the gym.
‘I like watching my dad jump rope because I’ve never seen anyone jump rope like that before,’ she added.
‘It’s fun coming to the gym because when dad’s not in training camp, the Money team doesn’t see each other often so when my dad gets back in training camp, we get back to seeing each other.
‘We hang out a lot, we play around, we just have fun outside of the gym. My dad is my best friend.’
