In an interview with TMZ Sports, she said: “My dad is Team Pacquiao all the way,” revealing that the pair had been friends for years, with Pacquiao attending Ali's 70th birthday party. “My dad really likes Manny," she said.

He’s such a charitable person.” With a rather barbed aside, she added: "My dad stood for things. Mayweather - I don't think there's a comparison.
