The greatest there ever was, the greatest there ever will be, the goddamn G.O.A.T. Muhammad Ali weighed in on the Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao fight. According to his daughter Rasheda, the former heavyweight champ is #TeamPacquiao all the way.

“My dad really likes Manny. He’s a huge fan of his.”
“He knows Manny’s a great fighter … but it’s more about what he does outside the ring. He’s such a charitable person.”

This isn’t all that surprising. Ali and Pacquiao have been friends for years. In 2012, Pacquiao attended Ali’s 70th birthday party. The two have a history of sorts. Ali’s been pushing for his bout with Floyd Mayweather more than anyone.

Sadly, Rasheda said that her father can’t make the fight. But like everyone else, he’s willing to shell out $99 bucks on pay-per-view.
