As fans wait for the day Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather get in the ring, the latter's father offered a few words of advice.

Pacquiao On Mayweather: "I Want That Fight"

During a recent appearance at The Ropes Boxing Radio, Floyd Mayweather, Sr. suggested that Pacquiao should resign with Top Rank, a promotion company run by CEO Bob Arum, in order to fight his son. Mayweather Jr. previously said that the only way he'd agree to fight Pacquiao is if Arum were out of the equation.

"Pacquiao, I think he should take that fight with my son and delete Bob Arum out of the situation and go for what he can go for, do the best he can do because right now he ain't doing very good," Mayweather Sr. said.

The boxing trainer, 61, also said that after his son and other athletes ended their affiliation with Arum, it didn't harm their careers.

"Oscar De La Hoya left Bob Arum, my son left Bob Arum, these were the biggest fighters in the world at the time they left Bob Arum, and they are some of the biggest fighters still today," he said.

"Don't get me wrong, by no means necessary, I don't have no problems with Bob Arum. Bob Arum has been good to me at times when my son was working with him, but it is what it is."

Yet, according to Pacquiao, Arum isn't the only thing standing in the way of a fight between the two. 

"Thousands, millions of fans are waiting for that fight and been asking me many questions about when will that fight happen," he said. "I tell them I am willing to fight him any time but the problem is him," the Filipino professional boxer recently told ESPN's Keith Olbermann. "Many reasons, many alibis."
