ROMÀ MARTINEZ
“Entenc que Sortit és un lluitador fort. Ens coneixem bé. És per això que hem entrenat molt dur per aquesta baralla, encara més difícil que per a la nostra primera. Espero poder guanyar aquesta victòria per a tot Puerto Rico.
“L'exposició per a aquesta baralla és increïble; tothom va a estar veient. Estem tan acostumats l'un a l'altre i entenem que hem de posar endavant una tremenda actuació en una targeta d'aquesta magnitud.
“Vull seguir sent un campió del món per tot Puerto Rico. Estic en òptimes condicions i vull per aconseguir la victòria.
“Sortit pot dir el que vulgui. Jo el conec, i jo era capaç de derrocar-lo en la primera baralla. Estic segur que puc anar a acabar.
“Jo entenc per què aquesta lluita està passant. Qui no voldria veure a anar a ballar? Però vaig pensar que havia guanyat clarament la primera vegada, i estic segur que guanyaré de nou en dissabte.”
ORLANDO SORTIT
“Ja vas veure el que va passar l'última vegada que barallem. Vostè sap que això serà un duel espectacular. Sé Rocky molt bé i sé que ell és un lluitador intel·ligent. L'última vegada que vaig sortir del meu pla de joc. Aquesta lluita, Estic concentrat i amb ganes d'una gran baralla.
“Jo sóc un millor lluitador del que és. Sé que Martínez es va a executar, però estic en perfecte estat a buscar-lo i obtenir la victòria.
“Es tracta d'aconseguir a l'interior per a mi. Martínez és un boxejador intel·ligent i sap com usar el seu abast. Si puc aconseguir dins del seu pit i atacar el cos vaig a aconseguir la victòria.
“Va a ser la millor baralla de la nit. Anem a intercanviar cops i continuar on ho vam deixar. Estic tractant això com si és la baralla més important de la meva carrera i no puc esperar per demostrar les meves habilitats un cop més.”
JACK Badou
“Estic molt emocionat per aquesta baralla. Vam tenir una enorme campament. Estem preparats per anar. Jo no parlo molt. Estic tot sobre la lluita.
“Groves no és absolutament al meu cap. Estic enfocat i mentalment fort en la meva tasca en qüestió. Vaig guanyar la meva baralla més gran que he tingut fins ara, no ho va fer. Ha tingut dos trets al títol i els ha perdut tots dos.
“Groves es va fer famós per ser noquejat per Carl Froch. Ell és un bon boxejador, però em sento molt còmode que vaig a copejar-.
“Acabo de mantenir la concentració en el que he de fer. Ningú s'està sota la meva pell.
“Sempre he cregut en mi mateix. Les coses passen en la boxa. He treballat dur i així va ser com vaig arribar a aquest moment.
“Sempre he estat el més feble al meu entendre. M'agrada. Em motiva. Vaig a demostrar la meva vàluaDissabte nit.”
George Groves
“És genial ser aquí. Estic feliç de tenir la meva oportunitat pel títol. Estem preparats. He estat viatjant a Las Vegas a la caixa des que tenia 13 anys d'edat. Any rere any sempre he tingut èxit aquí, sempre amb cops de gràcia.
“Boxadors britànics han estat fent bé en el ring en els últims temps, but there is no extra pressure or incentive. We’re very prepared. Sabem el que necessitem saber sobre Jack. Li desitgem sort, perquè necessitarà.
“És una gran baralla per a mi amb el títol en joc. He estat involucrat amb una major competència, però no he pres el meu ull fora de Badou Jack. Estem amb ganes d'una bona victòria en dissabte.
“L'entrenament en Big Bear era genial. La primera setmana em vaig adonar de la diferència en la calor i l'altitud. Però sobretot m'encanta estar aïllat. Aquí és la pau, Estic purament al campament. No hi ha altres distraccions.
“Estic segur de guanyar. Sempre estic segur de guanyar. La millor manera de descriure aquesta lluita és que Badou Jack és un bon boxejador, però sóc un millor lluitador. Jo sóc millor que ell en totes les fases del joc.
Jhonny González
“Aquesta és la meva segona baralla en 130 lliures i em sento molt més còmode, més fort, confiat i segur del que vaig fer a 126.
“És terrible estar en aquesta cartellera. Això serà una tremenda baralla. He entrenat dur i estic llest per anar en dissabte. La realitat és, aquest és el tipus de baralla que em pot portar un pas més a prop d'un altre títol mundial.”
JONATHAN OQUENDO
“La clau principal, si barallo o llimac, is to fight smart. Estic molt emocionat per aquesta oportunitat. Significa molt per a mi estar en una targeta d'aquesta magnitud. Estic emocionat de pesatge demà.
“Quan vostè té Mèxic vs. Port Ric, s'obté una guerra. No tinc cap dubte hi haurà sang en el ring. Jhonny González té molta experiència i era un gran campió, i jo li dono les gràcies per acceptar aquesta baralla. Espero aconseguir en el ring Dissabte.”
Van ser SMITH
“Quan vaig barallar Corneli Bundrage pel títol, Jo sabia que havia de guanyar. Jo tenia un munt de pressió sobre mi. No hi havia dubte que havia de guanyar. És el mateix ara. Vanes és un bon boxejador, però he de guanyar. He hagut de portar jo mateix des del fons.
“Tots els altres promotors va donar per vençut amb mi, però Leonard Ellerbe i Floyd van tenir una oportunitat en mi i jo sempre t'ho agrairan.
“Vanes és un bon boxejador. Serà un infern d'una lluita. He de guanyar. No tinc una altra opció. “
Vanes Martirosyan
“Ishe és un bon boxejador. Ha estat en un munt de tipus durs. Tinc molt respecte per ell. Serà una baralla molt bona.
“És una benedicció ser aquí. Vaig tenir un molt bon campament i estic emocionat de que la lluita és aquí. És genial ser part d'un espectacle com aquest.

LAS VEGAS (Set. 9, 2015) – Floyd Mayweather i Andre Berto participatedin la conferència finalpress per”PARTICIPACIONS D'ALTA: Mayweather vs. Berto” dimecres al David Copperfield Teatre al MGM Grand per davant del seu principal presa lloc aquest enfrontamentDissabte, Set. 12 viure SHOWTIME PPV(8 p.m. I / 5 p.m. PT) des del MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Pel que s'espera que sigui la lluita final de la seva il·lustre carrera de 19 anys, superestrella de la boxa i la lliura-per-lliura Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) posarà el seu rècord invicte i Campionat Mundial de pes welter del CMB i l'AMB en la línia quan s'enfronti al poder de pegada, el dues vegades campió mundial de pes welter Berto (30-3, 23 KOs). Tres dies abans de trobar-se al ring, els dos combatents i els seus camps eren de tipus empresarial i confiat, ja que va prendre el seu torn al podi.
Això és el que els combatents i els executius havien de dir dimecres:
Floyd Mayweather
“Hem estat aquí moltes vegades. Sé que parlar no guanya baralles. Sé que els entrenadors no guanyen baralles. Tot es redueix als dos competidors. Jo sempre estic preparat, física i mentalment. Tenim un pla de joc notable.
“Vull agrair a tots els que han cobert aquest esdeveniment i la meva carrera sobre 19 any. Ja sigui que era una bona història o una mala història, vostès van escriure sobre mi i em va mantenir rellevant. Així és com jo era capaç de fer els números de registre de ruptura.
“El camp d'entrenament va ser increïble, com sempre. Em van preguntar si m'agradaria ser capaç de posar-se en òptimes condicions després de la baralla Pacquiao i jo absolutament vaig fer. No importa qui Vaig triar, els crítics haurien alguna cosa a dir.
“Jo sé el que es necessita per a una baralla en aquesta magnitud. No importa el que diguin, tot es redueix als dos competidors i jo sé el que puc fer. Una cosa que puc fer, Puc lluitar.
“Quan parlem d'aconseguir el major percentatge, Jo sóc aquest tipus. Quan parlem de fer la porta o PPV més alt, Jo sóc aquest tipus.
“No puc dir que sortiré 49-0 perquè no es pot passar per alt a ningú.
“Cada baralla va tenir un to major. No és només la intel·ligència; és la ment aguda, la bona maixella, la tremenda cor. Mai donava a un oponent. Em vaig entrenar per a tots els lluitadors de la mateixa manera, empenyent a mi mateix. Crec en les meves habilitats i crec en el meu talent. He estat allà amb la millor, i els resultats són sempre els mateixos.
“Vostè ha lluitadors que poden ser més ràpid que jo, hi ha lluitadors que poden colpejar més dur que jo, vostè ha lluitadors que estan molt atlètic, però vostè no té un lluitador que pot fer ajustos com jo. No ha lluitadors que poden estar en el meu nivell mental.
“Mai és personal per a mi, sempre és negoci. Cadascú lluita pel que lluiten per. El meu és aquest; Mantinc els meus ulls en el premi. No em concentro en les coses fora del ring. Em centre en l'home davant meu.
“Tens l'oportunitat d'on s'arriba a per mantenir la concentració. El meu somni era ser el millor. Passi el que passi dissabte, quan es tracta de boxa, Jo sóc el millor en aquest.
“Alguns nois volien precipitar-, bé el que és el pla B? Pacquiao podria posar trampes per a altres combatents, però no va poder posar trampes per Floyd Mayweather. Vostè necessita un pla A, un pla B i un pla C. Mai he colpejat un lluitador amb el meu pla A.
“Berto has tingut un infern d'una carrera. Vostè és un lluitador dur i competidor. És obvi que has fet alguna cosa bé. El meu és, només cal posar els nois davant meu, i nosaltres ho farem qualifiquem després que em s'enfronten.
“Per estar en l'esport de la boxa i fer dalt de $800 milió, el meu equip ha fet la seva feina. Mai m'he centrat en les coses a l'exterior. Jo mai he posat res abans de boxa. En 4:30 al matí quan el meu oponent està dormint, Estic treballant. No vull deixar res en aquest esport.
“No es combat en la història ha estat en baralles més grans que em. No es combat en la història ha guanyar més campions que he pallissa. Però no ha acabat encara. I’m going to push myself. I can go to places where no fighter can go mentally.
“L'esport de la boxa necessita aquest. Berto és un dur, jove, lluitador amb fam i això és el que hem de treure el millor de nosaltres. Vaig a passar al capdavant i ser Floyd Mayweather. Entrenadors i combatents tracten de trobar maneres de llançar combatents fora, però sé el que cal fer quan tot està dit i fet.
“Vull que el meu llegat sigui d'un combatent notable a l'interior de l'anell i un gran home de negocis fora d'ella.
“Anem a donar el cop de gràcia. Estic bastant segur que va pel nocaut. Va a ser alguna cosa especial.”
ALTRES BERTO
“Es graciós, quan es tracta dels mitjans de comunicació i crítics. Ells no estan en aquest gimnàs treballant i coneixent la sensació de ser un lluitador. Ells no saben les milles que correm i els sacrificis que hem de fer per convertir-se en un campió del món o arribar a aquest nivell de lluita.
“Aquest campament ha estat intensa. Definitivament m'ha portat a nivells que mai he aconseguit. Hem deixat pedra sense moure, He vaig trencar el cul dels últims dos mesos.
“Qualsevol que els passos en el ring, He de respectar. Quan és el moment de lluitar, Vaig a per el meu respecte. Dissabte a la nit serà un bon any t'ho prometo.
“He donat tota la meva vida a aquest esport. He arribat i he entretingut al poble. Això és el que faig. Per això he vingut a aquest joc. M'han contat des del dia un que ve d'on vinc.
“Jo només vaig pel meu respecte. Ja vaig per tot el que em mereixo.
“Al final de la dia, He de ser capaç de prendre el meu joc a un altre nivell. A vegades cal que l'oponent per arribar a aquest punt, i Floyd és el.
“Ell té un gran coeficient intel·lectual, però un cop pot canviar tot.
“Pot ser intel·ligent, pot ser ràpid, però això és boxa.
“Floyd és fort, per descomptat,, però tinc certes eines que crec que farà que sigui un veritable difícil dissabte a la nit. Anem a donar el cop de gràcia. Definitivament no vol perdre.
“Això és enorme per a Haití. El país d'Haití és només eufòric ara mateix i dissabte a la nit que sens dubte serà a l'edifici. Dissabte a la nit serà històrica per al país. Aquesta és la primera vegada que una persona ha estat en aquest nivell per representar al país.
Floyd Mayweather SR., Pare de Mayweather & Entrenador
“Veig una baralla de veritat dissabte. No em malinterpretar, perquè no sé el que està passant, però realment crec que Floyd està arribant a lluitar.
“Sé Berto de venir a lluitar. Una cosa que he vist de Berto és que ell no té defensa – i ell està jugant amb un geni de la defensiva.
“Definitivament crec que Floyd voluntat atrapar en algun lloc en el camí.
“Floyd respecta Berto i no se li donava a, però ell només li podria deixar de, és molt possible.”
VIRGILIO HUNTER, Entrenador de Berto
“Hi ha algunes coses que molta gent no entén. Quan es tenen dos nois que van néixer en situacions en les que tracten de demostrar qui és el rei de l'escola és, a obtenir algunes baralles reals.
“Penso en Joe Frazier al “Thrilla a Manila”, quan la gent pensava que estava fet, però ell va lluitar pel cap. Té Andre Berto aquesta capacitat? Sí, per descomptat ho fa. Ho veiem tot el temps en els esports. Hi ha nits en que simplement succeeix. Andre Berto es va a portar sobre el seu cap i això és el que pensa fer i el que té a veure.
“No podem igualar el seu coeficient intel·lectual, però hi ha altres elements que fan que una lluita reeixida. Hi ha alguna cosa de preparació en l'aire. He estat aquí per molt temps i sé que quan alguna cosa és personal. És millor dir-li a la seva gent a sintonitzar per aquesta baralla. Confia en mi; que va ser un rumor.
“He vist de Floyd Pla B. Ho he vist anar a la guerra. Ho he vist retrunyir amb nois més grans que ell. Jo no vaig a deixar-se portar per la seva habilitat. Aquesta baralla va ser combatut de manera en el fons.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions
“Estem encantats que aquesta baralla la nit estarem plens d'altes apostes duels tota la nit. Tenim una tremenda cartellera. Per descomptat, l'esdeveniment principal té les apostes més altes de tots ells com Andre Berto prendran en l'invicte Floyd Mayweather.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vicepresident Executiu i Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports
“Sis baralles en 30 mesos. Floyd, em van dir que no ho faria, em van dir que no podia fer-ho i una vegada més que els va provar malament. Les primeres cinc baralles van produir gairebé 10 milions de compres de PPV, $750 milions de dòlars en ingressos de PPV i tot es va dur aquí per lluitar número sis, nombre lluita 49.
“19 any invictes, 17 anys consecutius com a campió del món, 16 oponents consecutius que són antics o actuals campions. Dissabte a la nit res d'això importa. Andre Berto no està lluitant una herència o un llibre de registre o de la història, està lluitant contra un home, i els homes poden perdre.
“La saviesa convencional és que Floyd guanyarà aquesta lluita, però la saviesa convencional diu que la primera baralla Maidana seria fàcil per Floyd. Va dir Canelo seria més dur reptador Floyd i va dir Pacquiao podria vèncer Mayweather. No es va tenir en compte Hasim Rahman o Buster Douglas i certament no representarà el cor d'Andre Berto o el desig de tornar a escriure la història de la boxa la nit de dissabte.
“Com tu, No sé què passarà la nit de dissabte. Sé que Berto és més atlètic que qualsevol boxejador Floyd ha lluitat recentment. Una cosa que sí que sé, no va a ser avorrit. Quan vostè té els combatents com tota la nostra targeta PPV té, és una nit que no s'ha de perdre.”
RICHARD TEMPESTA, President d'Entreteniment & Esports de MGM Resorts International
“Estem encantats de ser part d'aquesta baralla de campionat entre Mayweather i Berto que donarà inici a una programació de tardor sensacional entreteniment en MGM. Tots esperem que la història com Floyd busca posar fi a la seva carrera en 49-0 i igualar el rècord de Rocky Marcià que s'ha mantingut des de setembre 1955.
“Ens complau donar la benvinguda a Andre Berto. Berto s'enfrontarà a un dels grans campions d'aquest esport i no hi ha dubte que va a estar preparat per al repte.”
BOB BENNETT, President de la Comissió Atlètica de l'Estat de Nevada
“No hi ha dubte que qualsevol comissió al món estaria eufòric tenir aquesta baralla, igual que nosaltres. Estem molt agraïts per Floyd Mayweather per tenir aquest espectacle al nostre pati del darrere. El NSAC realitat va encarregar la primera baralla de Floyd 19 Fa any i fins a la data hem regulat 25 fora de 49 les baralles de Floyd arribat aquest dissabte a la nit quan tracta d'empatar el rècord de Rocky Marcià.
“Ha estat un honor i un privilegi per a regular aquestes baralles. Els nostres funcionaris passen molt temps en els entrenaments i estem preparats per anar a treballar arribat la nit de dissabte.”

Floyd Mayweather

“Ell és [Manny Pacquiao] is a hell of a fighter. I take my hat off to him. Now I see why he’s one of the guys that are at the pinnacle of the sport of boxing.

 

“I knew he was going to push it and win some rounds. He had some moments in the fight, but I kept him on the outside, I was a smart fighter. I wasn’t getting hit with a lot of shots until I sat in the pocket, that’s when he would land a lot of shots.

 

“Vam fer el que havíem de fer aquesta nit and I’m truly blessed.

 

“I’m a calculated fighter, he’s a tough competitor.

 

“I have to take it off to my dad, without him I wouldn’t be where I’m at.

 

“He’s a very awkward fighter, so I had to take my time and watch him close.

 

“Tots 47 fights before I got to this fight played a major key in my career.

 

“Manny Pacquiao is a true champion and we both did our best aquesta nit.

 

“When the history books are written, this fight will have been worth the wait.

 

“I have one more fight. My last fight is in September and then it’s time for me to hang it up. I’m almost 40 years old now. I’ve been in the sport 19 years and have been a champion for 18 any, I’m truly truly blessed.”

 

 

Manny Pacquiao

“Va ser una bona baralla; I thought I won the fight.

 

“He didn’t do anything. He was always moving outside.

 

“I got him many times, I saw his punches.

 

“He was moving around too much, it wasn’t easy throwing punches at him. If he would’ve stayed in one place then I could’ve thrown punches.

 

“I was cutting him and countering. I wanted to fight.

 

“I was able to handle his power; he’s not strong like previous opponents like [Antonio] Margarito.

 

“I thought I was up in the fight, so that’s why I didn’t attack harder in the 11º i 12º rondes.

 

“He’s not bigger than me, it’s not about the size. The size doesn’t matter. I’ve fought guys bigger than him and had no problem.”

“I prepared very hard for this fight, like I always do. It’s going to be a historic night and I’m happy to be a part of that history.

 

“I know that everybody is here for Mayweather and Pacquiao but there will still be millions seeing me fight and I want to show them who Leo Santa Cruz is so that I can get a lot more fans.

 

“”I’m still young and there are many more fights to come. The fights the fans want, we’re going to give it to them. I know those fights are going to happen.

 

“I want to look spectacular and I want to get Cayetano out of there really fast. Sometimes these kind of fighters are the ones who give you the hardest fights because they come hungrier and have nothing to lose.

 

“Seeing my family here and having them in the arena on fight night is a huge motivation for me. I feel happier and more relaxed and I’m ready.

 

“I never underestimate a fighter. Any fighter in the ring is dangerous. I hope that Cayetano is ready so that we can give the fans a great show.”

 

JOSE CAYETANO
“I know that Leo Santa Cruz is a strong, difficult fighter but he also has weaknesses and that is what we prepared for, to give him a surprise.

“I’m a man that takes challenges and I’ve been preparing very hard, I’m always prepared for these types of fights. I’m very prepared and I feel very strongly that I will win.

“I came here for the opportunity to beat Leo Santa Cruz and for the opportunity to participate in such a grand event that is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.

“I’m very happy and very grateful and very excited to get into the ring. It’s a huge commitment, the entire world will be watching me but that is why I accepted the fight, I know that if I beat him, bigger and better opportunities will come my way.

“I’m not nervous because it’s not the first time that I’ve faced a tough opponent. I’ve never faced a world champion but I’ve faced opponents that throw hard punches, so I’m not nervous, I’m excited.”

 

VASYL LOMACHENKO

“This is an opportunity to show everyone what I’m capable of doing and for millions of viewers to see that I can do it.

 

“The best fighters get the best opportunities in the ring, there are a lot of great fighters getting those opportunities including myself.

 

“It’s always a good feeling when people are saying good things about you.

 

“I’m very excited to be involved in a bout such as this one, Maig 2 will be a big show shown around the world. I’m very happy to be in the opening bout for this huge fight.”

 

GAMALIER RODRIGUEZ
“I’m looking forward to this big fight en dissabte. It’s a blessing to participate in this type of press conference and come Dissabte, Vaig a guanyar! I’m sure of it. I will be champion.

“All of the attention toward Vasyl Lomachenko gives me motivation. I’ve been a fighter and a boxer since I was young and it’s added motivation to come out on top this weekend.

 

“I know that Lomachenko is a good and technical fighter but it doesn’t compare to my hunger and drive to be world champion.

“I wanted to take the opportunity during my speech at the press conference to let everyone know that I can here to fight. It’s going to be a hard fought battle and I’m very confident that I’ll win and become the champion this Saturday.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

“I am so excited to be here today to discuss the great undercard which will be the lead-in to our long awaited, history making event taking place this Saturday night.

 

“The lead-in fight for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao will be a very exciting fight featuring Leo Santa Cruz and Jose Cayetano.

“I know that every fighter deems it a tremendous honor to be part of this great event. We hope and believe that we will be presenting to the public through Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank, the best of boxing and the best fighters.

 

“Vasyl Lomachenko is considered to be the greatest amateur fighter of all time. Ara, he looks for the same type of success he had as an amateur in the professional ranks. But this will be a very competitive fight, because Gamalier Rodriguez is a Puerto Rican who comes to fight and believes that he can upset Vasyl.

 

“A lot of the young men up here believe they are the next big thing in boxing, and many will be. But I know that Vasyl Lomachenko will be a big superstar in the sport of boxing.”

LAS VEGAS (Abril 29, 2015) - Floyd "Money" Mayweather i Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao faced off for only the third time Dimecres during the final press conference for their long-awaited welterweight world championship unification fight this Dissabte, Maig 2, al MGM Grand Garden Arena, live on pay-per-view.

 

The last time the boxing superstars met face-to-face was at the Los Angeles press conference to formally announce the mega-fight on Març 11. The first time they were photographed up close and personal came at a Miami Heat basketball game in January.

 

In the most eagerly awaited showdown in years – and the richest fight in boxing history — the undefeated and universally recognized No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs), an 11-time world champion in five weight divisions, will take on the fighting pride of the Philippines, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs), the only boxer to capture world titles in eight weight classes.

 

Here is what the fighters and executives said Dimecres at the KÀ Theatre at the MGM Grand:

Floyd Mayweather

“The only thing I can do is take it one day at a time. When the fight gets here I will go out there and do what I do best and that’s go out and fight.

 

“From the beginning of my career, I’ve always had a game plan. It’s just like chess. We make calculated moves in the ring and outside the ring. I got with the right team and surrounded myself with the right chess pieces.

 

“I’m a lot wiser than I once was. This fight sells itself. Our ultimate goal was to get to this point, whether it was Manny or another fighter.

 

“I don’t take anything away from Manny Pacquiao. He’s a solid fighter; a solid competitor and it will be an intriguing matchup come Saturday.

 

“Everything takes time, it’s all about timing. I’m glad that we had patience and didn’t rush. The time is now, this is the right time for this fight.

 

“I want to thank all the writers for being here. Some have been around since I was 10-years-old, some have been here for my 19 years in this sport. I’m thankful for all the writers, whether the stories were good stories or bad, you guys kept me relevant for 19 any.

 

“This fight is about one fighter who is at the top fighting another fighter who is at the top. It’s about giving you guys excitement. We don’t know how this fight is going to play out, but I believe in my skills. I believe I am going to be victorious.

 

“When I went to training camp I worked extremely hard to win this fight and I’m pretty sure Manny did the same. That’s why this is an intriguing matchup.”

Manny Pacquiao

“I don’t have a prediction, but I’m excited. I’m confident and I feel for the first time that I’m ready for the fight.

"I’m so happy because that feeling and that focus that I had many years ago, està de tornada. I’m confident and relaxed.

“My love and eagerness for this fight has made me especially interested.

“I would like to invite everyone to witness the great fight between Floyd and I this Saturday.

“I want to be an example and inspiration to people.

“Before I became a boxer, I used to sleep on the street. I can’t believe that I am in this position. The boy who didn’t have food and slept on the street can have this life.

“On Saturday our goal is to make the fans happy with our performance. Both of us will work very hard to entertain the fans and give a good fight.

“I hope that both Floyd and I do our best on Saturday and to put our name in boxing history.

“The most important thing I hope for is that after the fight I can talk with Floyd about being an inspiration to people all around the world.”

Floyd Mayweather SR., Pare de Mayweather & Entrenador

 

“Whatever happens on Saturday, it’s going to be one-sided. Pacquiao is going to sleep.

 

“I’m a trainer, I know what’s going on with fighters. Pacquiao doesn’t have it.

 

“Everybody can say what they want to say. I’ve said it before, Pacquiao can’t punch. I’m not worried about it. I’m going to have Floyd walk him down.”

 

FREDDIE ROACH, Entrenador de Pacquiao

“When this fight was announced, Manny’s training level went way up. He’s really excited about this fight.

 

“I think we will win a decision and outpoint this guy. If the knockout comes then that will be a bonus.

“I think Manny likes to be the underdog. We like pulling upsets and doing things we’re not supposed to do. Manny is going to be that guy.

“We will put a lot of pressure on Floyd. Manny likes to exchange and with his hand speed, this fight will go in our favor.

“Manny is reckless, but that’s his style. He tries to win fights and people enjoy his fights. He gives it his all and sometimes you get knocked out, that’s part of boxing.”

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

“The worldwide attention and interest in this event has been unbelievable and Floyd and Manny deserve it.

 

“Las Vegas has a rich history of hosting the biggest and best fights in the sport. Over the years Floyd Mayweather has made the MGM his home. This will be his 11º consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14º in his career.

 

“There are two great fighters that will be fighting on Saturday night and the focus needs to be on the fighters, no one else. The focus is on the fighters on Saturday night.

 

“On May 2, Floyd faces another huge challenge in fellow world champion Manny Pacquiao, in a fight that the whole world is waiting to see. Once again Floyd is out to prove that he is The Best Ever and I know he will on Saturday night.”

 

BOB ARUM, Saló de la Fama del promotor, Top Rank

 

“This is a great promotion with two great fighters. I hope that this fight will help elevate the rest of boxing. I think based on the interest in this fight, there has been increased interest in boxing as well, and that’s great.

 

“People have spent a lot of time during this event watching Manny train, but more importantly, watching Freddie teach. It’s great to see two guys on the same wavelength, working on the strategy and then working it out in the ring.”

 

KEN Hershman, President, HBO Sports

 

“The journey to this fight has been a remarkable one. In addition to the great writing and reporting that all the media has been doing, HBO has been putting on terrific programs for fight fans to enjoy and bring them closer to the sport.

 

“One important note for everyone, please order the pay-per-view Saturday night early, or if possible today or tomorrow. We expect that the ordering systems will be overwhelmed. També, there will be two undercard events starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 pm. PT and those events can end at any time. We want to make sure that no one misses any of the main event.

“This event is about two world-class athletes, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, who have been working for weeks and weeks, all of their lives really, to get to this precise moment.

 

“These two fighters have worked their entire lives to get to this moment.

 

“Floyd and Manny have great teams. Floyd will be the first one to tell you that his team deserves a lot of the credit for his success and I’ve heard Manny say very similar things.

 

“What makes this event so special and so historic, is that we have two once-in-a-generation athletes who will be meeting in the ring in about 72 hores. We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a highly anticipated event.”
