Last September 2009, Pacquiao was overheard saying this words, on board the Gulfstream G200 eight-seater plane that took him out of San Francisco to Burbank in LA:
"We should focus on Cotto first."
“If Mayweather and I both win, it is us who would be fighting next."
"Talks are on."
Pacquiao wanted this fight all along. Immediately after the fight with Hatton, Pacquiao was interviewed about Mayweather, here's a video of what he has to say:
Here's a transcription of the video above:
"It's okay if it's Mayweather, I want those who talk a lot."
"He's good, but not that good."
"I want this fight to prove to everybody that... (Smiles)"
Pacquiao Opinion about Mayweather vs Marquez
"The advantage is on Mayweather."
"Mayweather is faster than Marquez, but he don't want to get hit. It's courage that we're talking about."
From the video above:
"Mayweather's time has past already, it's my turn."
Back in July 2008, Pacquiao planned to entice Mayweather out of retirement, by beating De la Hoya and Hatton.
Pacquiao's plan came true - Mayweather came out of retirement. Floyd even returned on the eve of Pacquiao Hatton bout, fighting no less than Marquez, a boxer which Pacquiao has close fight with.
