‘Money’ Mayweather Free To Resume Flow
By DERON SNYDER
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is no longer serving timein a Las Vegas jail. But the clock is ticking for the undefeated boxer.
He’s not getting any younger, at age 35, and neither is his main rival, Manny Pacquiao, who’s 33. If the superstars ever plan to meet in the bout that has boxing clamoring, they need to do so before they’re shells of their former selves. Pacquiao showed signs of deterioration in June during his last fight — albeit a terrible decision — when he failed to put away a fighter with broken foot.
Mayweather, who was less than two weeks into his sentence when Timothy Bradley beat Pacquiao, spent 63 days in jail on a domestic-battery charge. He began his stint on a high note, shortly after improving to 43-0 with a unanimous decision against Miguel Cotto in a world super-welterweight title bout.
