FanHouse: Did you officially sign the contract?
Manny Pacquiao: No, because there are still some things that need to be negotiated. That would be premature and foolish. Nobody ever brought us a contract to sign.
We agreed to everything in principle, but there are still some finer points that need to be negotiated.
Bob is going to take all of this back to Floyd Mayweather and then, hopefully, it will be all worked out. We believe that the deal will get done.
FH: So how badly do you want this fight?
Pacquiao: Of course, I want to fight Floyd Mayweather very badly. It's the fight that everyone wants to see.
And, of course, that's the fight that I want.
FH: How important are the eight-ounce gloves?
Pacquiao: That's a very important aspect of the negotiations to me. I really want to use the eight-ounce gloves.
