Floyd Mayweather threw the first jab in an interview last week, finally saying that he wants to fight Pacquiao on May 2nd.
“We are ready. Let’s make it happen. May 2. Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao. Let’s do it,” Mayweather said.
Unfazed by Mayweather’s hit, Manny Pacquiao shot back with one of his signature moves.
He [Mayweather] has reached a dead end,” Pacquiao told skysports.com. “He has nowhere to run but to fight me.
“I will try my best to make this a thrilling and entertaining fight, but I doubt if he’s gonna engage me in a slugfest.
“You all know his fighting style. Most of his previous fights, if not all, induced us to sleep.”
And to make sure that Floyd get the message, Manny tweeted this directly to his opponent:
If the two meet in the ring instead of the jib jab they’re now find themselves in, this could be the match of the century year. Fans have been praying for this matchup for years, but it did not happened because of the purse circumstances beyond their control.
I will tentatively circle this date on my calendar… well maybe not a full circle… maybe something looking like a big C around the May 2 date will be enough.
