British tennis star and avid boxing fan Andy Murray has weighed in with his prediction for the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather mega fight on May 2.
Murray says American Mayweather has two things in his favor, including the Las Vegas home-crowd advantage. The other is Mayweather's ability to use his superb defense to build up points.
"That's his hometown," Murray said of the gambling mecca in the Nevada desert. "He's spoken a little bit about how much he means to the economy of the city. If it goes to the scorecards, I would think it would be tough for Pacquiao to win.
