Manny Pacquiao: “I felt very bad for the people effected by the recent natural disasters in the Philippines. It was difficult for me because I had to try to focus on my training which is a big part of me being able to help the country by bringing honour to it. I have to focus on my fight because no one can help me in the ring, but I can help my country by winning my fight.”
“It’s a great honour for me to bring pride to the Philippines. I’m very hungry to win this fight because I would be the first fighter to capture titles in seven different weight divisions.”
“It’s my responsibility to focus even with all the people who want to get close to me and shake my hand and get my autograph. I have to focus on my training but I still try to make time for the people who idolize me.”
“I feel in 100 per cent condition and I can’t wait for Nov. 14!”
“Cotto is a bigger guy than I am and he’s very strong. He’s a good fighter so this will be a hard fight. I don’t underestimate his ability.”
“A lot of people make predictions but I just focus on the fight and if a knockout comes it’s a bonus. I believe in my power and if I’m lucky I can land a good punch on my opponent.”
“Thank you to Bob Arum and Top Rank, to Coach Freddie, to the media and to all of the fans who love boxing. I will do my best in this fight and thank you to everyone.”
