WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) is pushing himself to the limit in training camp. Mayweather is a few weeks away from the biggest fight of his career. He faces career rival Manny Pacquiao, the WBO's champion at welterweight on May 2nd from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The fight is already going to be the biggest money maker in the history of boxing. Mayweather is slated to make $180 million dollars from the contest. Althought his nickname is 'Money' - Mayweather wants to beat Pacquiao in very impressive fashion so the fans can get their money's worth on fight night.
"Everyone talks about the money, the money, the money," Mayweather said to the Associated Press. "I want the fight to live up to the magnitude that it is. That's what it is really about."
"My mentality in the sport of boxing is to win first always but, of course, you always want to give people their money's worth. There's been fights I look at and say I'm not really pleased with that even though I won. We're pushing ourselves extremely hard. If the fight was today I could go out and perform and look well."
