“I feel no changes in my body…I think the changes are more experience now than 5 years ago…the speed and power, there’s no changes,” stated 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, who talked about how he’s changed in the 5 years since a showdown with undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather has been discussed.

“We did what we had to do…read the contract…one would be a fool not to prepare ourselves for sneak attacks…when the order goes out from somebody at the MGM that nobody at the MGM can talk to us, how do you think it makes us feel…they had one guy taking an executive and wrapping it around his finger, and that’s Haymon,” stated Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, who had some choice words for powerful advisor Al Haymon and the MGM Grand regarding the promotion of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.
“They instructed all the employees at the MGM that they were not to talk to anybody from Top Rank…it’s a turbulent relationship with one guy who’s under the control of Haymon…this was the worst experience on a promotion for me in the 50 years I’ve been in the sport,” stated Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, who continued to rip into the MGM Grand and Al Haymon
“There’s no positive. There’s no negative. Floyd is floyd. I’m me. I got no animosity to him…I mean, talk about somebody that lives in a glass house…if we wanted to be nasty, the stuff we could say about him, but we’re not going to do it…Manny is the most together person that I’ve ever met…bet your money on Manny,” stated Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum, who shared his thoughts on the May 2 showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
After four rounds of sparring, working the mitts and a light workout, Fighter of the Decade, eight-division world champion and boxing superhero Congressman MANNY “Pacman” PACQUIAO (57-5-2, 38 KOs) completed his final day of training camp at Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, Calif. today. From there the Pacquiao caravan, including a luxury bus festooned from stem to stern with Manny’s image (photos attached) , began its trek to Las Vegas for Fight Week, celebrating his May 2 welterweight world championship unification battle against undefeated FLOYD “Money” MAYWEATHER JR. (47-0, 26 KOs), at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
“Our long international boxing nightmare will soon be over,” declared Hall of Fame trainer World-Famous Freddie Roach. “Boxing has been held hostage by Floyd Mayweather and his antics long enough. Manny is going to stand up to Floyd on May 2 and put a bully in his place. On paper – and in the sports books – Manny shouldn’t stand a chance. But neither did David against Goliath. Just remember, Manny has always come out on top when he was the underdog and you don’t have to look any further than his victories over Ledwaba, Barrera and De La Hoya. As Manny said earlier, ‘It is time for Floyd to lose.’ Manny is on a mission. This fight is his crusade. The fans of the world are rooting for Manny to win just like they willed this fight to happen. He is their champion. This will be their victory.”
