Floyd Mayweather Jr. quits boxing, trains for marathon instead
With just about a month before his scheduled megafight against Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr. decides to quit boxing. He will be joining a marathon instead on the same date.
This will result in a cancellation of the big event in Las Vegas.
No explaination has been given by Mayweather’s camp.
An insider, however, disclosed that Mayweather’s fight plan is to run away from Pacquiao all through out the fight. During training, he has been running around the ring for several hours including a long run workout on weekends.
Floyd Mayweather in running form
After severals weeks of running, he finds himself more fit to run a marathon than to go toe to toe with Pacquiao.
The insider also disclosed that Mayweather is now using running shoes while training inside the ring.
So what do you think will happen on May 2? Will Pacquiao win the fight? Or will Mayweather Jr. set a new marathon record inside the ring? 😀
Happy April Fools!

I guess that makes us all fools if he wins that position. 😀
