Boxing News: 'The Money Team' Trainer Eddie Mustafa Expects Floyd Mayweather To 'Outbox Manny Pacquiao Easily' Due To Latter's Poor Footwork, Claims 'Money' Is Ready To Fight
The Money Team trainer Eddie Mustafa is expecting Floyd Mayweather to have a field day when he finally meets Manny Pacquiao inside the ring.
Money has already responded to Pacman's dare to settle everything once and for all by penning a fight deal, stating that the superbout will happen on the second of May in the following year, which Mustafa affirms as true.
"Hey let me tell you something, if a shoe fit, you gotta wear it," he told ESNews.
"Floyd told me...that he's ready to fight Pacquiao. He's a man of his word. So, he's ready to fight him."

The 62-year-old former light heavyweight champion pointed out a weakness in Pacquiao's game that has been overlooked over the years, which will give his ward the edge come fight night.
"I would say Floyd (sic) outboxes him easy. Manny's got bad footwork," he revealed.
"People never focused on that, but his footwork is bad. Floyd will be all round the place and hitting him, whenever he wanna hit him."
While acknowledging that the Filipino boxer is "his own fighter" and that Mayweather never met anyone like him, the same applies with Manny since he has yet to encounter an opponent as intelligent as Floyd.
Meanwhile, he believes that a Mayweather - Amir Khan match-up will be challenging as it is entertaining because the Brit has the tools to put up a good fight against the 37-year-old Grand Rapids, Michigan native.
"Great fight," he remarked.
"Because Amir has size, height, and you know, Amir has a good left hand. So, I mean, it will be a chess match."
