WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao sat down with USA Today to discuss the failed negotiations to make a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Pacquiao will fight Antonio Margarito on November 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Texas. Pacquiao doesn't feel that he needs the fight with Mayweather to secure his legacy. The achievements in his career, like winning titles in seven weight divisions, are what Pacquiao looks to for his lasting legacy.
"The people really want to see that fight, but for me, I don't really need that fight because what I achieved in boxing - I'm happy and I'm satisfied. But the people in boxing, the fans, they want to see that fight," Pacquiao said.
Pacquiao doesn't know what to think about Mayweather's refusal to take a year off instead of making their fight.
"I really don't know what's the reason why he won't take that fight," Pacquiao said.
