Pacquiao went to the gym, but only worked on the punch-mitts and a few of the other routine exercises. Castillejo reported that Pacquiao, Roach and even Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, who was at the gym, declined to give interviews.

WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) is not worried about the workrate of WBO champion Manny Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38KOs).

WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has never tasted the canvas from a legit knockdown. He voluntarily went to a knee, to get a breather, after suffering a hand injury during his fight with Carlos Hernandez. A few years later, he got tagged with a good shot and his glove appeared to touch the mat in the 2006 clash with Zab Judah - but the ref overlooked it. WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith Thurman will not be surprised if Mayweather tastes the canvas in his upcoming fight with WBO king Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Top Rank's head matchmaker, Bruce Trampler, has played a big role in building some of the biggest names in the sport - including Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather began his career with Top Rank and fought under their banner until 2006, when he bought out his contract and became a free agent. On May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Top Rank's biggest star - Manny Pacquiao - will face Mayweather in the most richest fight in boxing history. Trampler is realistic about the fight and says the first few rounds will be crucial. “To beat a left-hander, you want to pressure him and take away his left-handedness. … So if I see Floyd dictating the pace, moving Manny where he wants him, I’m going to say Manny’s going to lose. If Manny is aggressive and shows that good lateral movement and throws punches in bunches and gets off first on Floyd, I’m going to pick Manny," Trampler told the Los Angeles Times.
