In his prolonged career, ‘Pac-Man’ had many notable boxing bouts. But one bout that stands out is his fight with Floyd Mayweather.

This fight was regarded as the ‘richest’ fight in boxing history, as the total revenue it generated was around $600 million. However, the Filipino Senator capitulated to a defeat in this fight and he couldn’t really thrill the fans with a stupendous performance.

Regardless of the way he performed, the legend, Roy Jones Jr., certainly feels ‘Pac-Man’ has nothing to regret about the Mayweather bout. Recently, ‘Captain Hook’ interacted with Sky Sports and praised the 42-year-old.

He said, “It’s not his regret. Because he wasn’t the one who wasn’t trying to make it happen. He was trying to make it happen but couldn’t until Mayweather agreed to it. It’s nothing that he has to regret.”
