RadioOnFire.com - Two days after Floyd Mayweather called out Manny Pacquiao and challenged him to a fight on May 2nd, Pacquiao has responded with harsh words and promised to make the long-awaited fight with Mayweather entertaining for the fans… if it actually happens.
"He (Mayweather) has reached a dead end. He has nowhere to run but to fight me. I will try my best to make this a thrilling and entertaining fight. But I doubt if he's gonna engage me in a slugfest. You all know his fighting style. Most of his previous fights, if not all, induced us to sleep." Pacquiao told Sky Sports.
"I know what I have to do. I will chase him wherever he goes just in case he decides to run around the ring. We will devise a good fight plan against him," Pacquiao said.
"Mayweather can get the amount he wants. As early as January this year, I challenged him to a charity fight. Until now, he has not agreed to it. So, money is not the issue in our fight," he added.
"This fight is about legacy, this is about making the fans happy and, above all, this is for the good of boxing."
It remains to be seen if the two boxers resolve their differences over drug testing and the money split, but it would be awfully cruel if Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight never happens after both fighters have teased the fight so often.
