Before the kickoff press conference inside of  Los Angeles’ L.A. Live Nokia Theatre took place to celebrate the most expensive fight in boxing history, Manny Pacquiao spent some time with ESPN’s Michael Smith and Jemele Hill of His and Hers to promote his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather.

One question that appeared to throw Pacquiao a little off guard had to do with current UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. When Hill asked Pacquiao if he believed that Rousey could beat Mayweather in MMA, Pacquiao chuckled and tried to brush off the question by saying he would give her [Rousey] a ticket to the fight after Hill already stated Rousey was given a free ticket to the show by Bob Arum. When asked again, Pacquiao said the following:

“I believe so. She’s strong. She’s strong enough to beat Floyd Mayweather in MMA.”

Pacquiao also discussed his thoughts on whether his fight with “Money” May would ever happen, his basketball and singing career, and if this fight finally happening is too little too late below.
