Pacquiao: Beating Mayweather is Good For Boxing!
By Edward Chaykovsky
WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao took to the social networks to fire a few jabs at WBC/WBA champ Floyd Mayweather Jr., as both fighters prepare for their kickoff press conference later today in Los Angeles, to announce their highly anticipated May 2nd showdown at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. There should be plenty of more verbal jabs kicked around at the presser. The pay-per-view event will be carried by HBO/Showtime in a joint venture.
"The Lord my God that I am serving will deliver him into my hands. Beating Floyd is good for boxing. When athletes have great success, their success goes to their head. That is bad for boxing. I'm here to prove that I can easily beat the undefeated. My footwork and hand combinations will be my advantage. I tell you Cotto and Margarito punch hard. This is boxing and its about punches. I'm more worried about De La Hoya and Cotto than my fight with Floyd," Pacquiao told his followers.
