Televised mascots beware, because WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder just took out one of your own.

Recently, the “Bronze Bomber” appeared on Nacion ESPN to promote his upcoming fight with Tyson Fury. During the appearance, the hosts had Wilder hit a dummy. They then asked him to hit their mascot in either the stomach or face. Wilder chose the face. With one good right-hand, Wilder layed the mascot out to the ground.

Apparently, Wilder didn’t realize there was someone inside the costume. He took to his Instagram to issue out an apology to the person who absorbed the devastating shot. He even invited him to his fight against Fury in December:

“Yea, Anything headlining I didn’t know a “Human Being” was in there is just straight “Click Baiting”
like come on now, I guess the Mascot rolled out there. show so respect! I sincerely apologize to the brave man that was injured (if this is true) I have the up most high respect for him, his participation, willingness and courage. If this is true @nacionespn I personally would like to invite him to my Dec.1 fight. Word Is Bond -CHAMP”

Quote: Floyd Mayweather “Deadly Serious About” Manny Pacquiao Rematch

Showtime Sports President has made these claims.

The post Quote: Floyd Mayweather “Deadly Serious About” Manny Pacquiao Rematch appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Floyd Mayweather deadly serious about doing a rematch against Manny Pacquiao is something that has been claimed by Stephen Espinoza. The president of programming for Showtime Sports made these comments during a recent interview with TMZ Sports where he was asked about the proposed rematch.

Talks Going Again

If you recall, Mayweather got these talks going just last month when he told TMZ Sports that the two fighters have agreed to a rematch that will produce a 9-figure payday.

The first fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao went down on May 2, 2015, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada that saw Mayweather win the contest by unanimous decision.

Floyd Mayweather “Deadly Serious About It”

Espinoza stated in this interview that he thinks the fight will likely go down in 2019.

“Having spoken to Floyd, I know he’s deadly serious about it. He’s very, very serious about wanting the fight. 2019 sounds perfect. After I get a little bit of sleep after this event, we’ll go at Mayweather/Pacquiao 2, I think.”

Their Records

Pacquiao has gone 6-2 in his last eight fights that include dropping decisions to Mayweather in May 2015 and Jeff Horn in July of 2017. He is fresh off a fight against Lucas Matthysse for the World Boxing Association welterweight title on July 15th, 2018 (July 14th in the United States) at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that saw him win by TKO.

On the flip side, Mayweather was last seen when he beat former UFC lightweight and featherweight champ Conor McGregor once he defeated him by TKO last year.
“Having spoken to Floyd, I know he’s deadly serious about it. He’s very, very serious about wanting the fight.”
