Manny Pacquiao certainly hasn’t been shy in making the media rounds the past few days, boldly assuring his adoring public that a victory will come on Saturday night versus reigning pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather.
However, the final pre-fight presser for their epic May 2 clash at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas—which airs live on Pay-Per-View (Saturday, 9:00 p.m. ET, $89.95 SRV) saw a different side of both fighters. Mayweather was subdued and didn’t have much to say other than thanks to the other side for making the long-awaited fight finally happen.
Pacquiao, on the other hand, used the matter to express his appreciation for arriving to this point in his incredible career and also the guiding force that has allowed him to remain strong during hard times in his life, long before boxing became a factor.
“All of our success and achievements in boxing, it’s not us alone but also because of (the fans),” acknowledged Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38KOs) before turning the session into a mini-sermon. I’d like everyone to witness this Saturday a good fight. There’s a lot of questions in your minds. Only God can answer those on Saturday.
“I want to let you know everything I’ve accomplished, God has given me the strength. I want to be an example to everyone… I used to sleep in the street starving. The Lord raised me in this position. I can’t imagine that the boy who didn’t have food while living in the streets is raised to the level.” [Click Here To Read More]
