People from all over the world have different opinion regarding the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight.

Some say it is long and overdue while other thinks it will be boring. But of course, with the fact that this is the biggest boxing match of the recent generation, people have no other choice but to choose a side.

So far, the world is still divided. That is expected anyway. Manny Pacquiao is an eight-division world champ and former pound-for-pound king while Floyd Mayweather Jr. boasts an immaculate sheet. Either of the two can pull off a win.

Every opinion on the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight matters, whether it is technical or personal. However, none is probably heavier than the one that will come from the one and only Muhammad Ali who is dubbed as "The Greatest" and "The People's Champion."

Ali's view of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight was shared to TMZ by his daughter Rasheda. Interestingly, his choice is something most Americans didn't see coming.

"My dad is Team Pacquiao all the way!" Rasheda Ali told TMZ Sports. "My dad really likes Manny. He's a huge fan of his."

The 73-year-old former boxer's take on the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight was not determined through technical analysis though. According to the younger Ali, her father chose the Filipino fighter because of what he does outside the ring.

"He knows Manny's a great fighter ... but it's more about what he does outside the ring," Rasheda said. "He's such a charitable person."

When asked if Floyd Mayweather Jr. can be compared to his dad, Rasheda has this to say.

"My dad stood for things," she said. "Mayweather ... I don't think there's a comparison."

Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight will take place on May 2 at the MGM Grand Arena. It is expected to earn at least $300 million for the two fighters - 60% for Floyd and 40% for Pacman. That amount hasn't included the earnings on the tickets, pay-per-view and sponsorship.
