GARY RUSSELL JR.:
“Oefenkamp gaan groot, ons is reg op koers. Daar was 'n klein probleempie in die kamp, ​​want ek was veronderstel om te veg op Oktober. 24. Ek het begin sparring, but once the fight got pushed back to November 14 I cut the sparring off. Ek wou nie te vroeg piek.
“Vandag (Dinsdag) is my eerste dag terug sparring. Ek werk op my tydsberekening, ring generalship and lateral movement. We’re right on course.
“Oscar Escandon is sterk en duursaam. Hy kom reguit vorentoe. As sy hoek was slim sou hulle probeer om my hand wegneem spoed wat 'n groot faktor wees in die stryd. Hy sal nodig hê om die afstand te sluit, versmoor my stoot so spoed is nie 'n faktor.
“Ons is besig om op besig om net so gemaklik veg aan die buitekant as ek veg aan die binnekant.
“Baie van vegters is een-dimensionele. Ons probeer om daardie diamant skyn aan alle kante te maak.
“Ek weet dat ek seëvierende sal sonder twyfel. Enigiemand wat jy kry in die ring met hierdie klein, 8-ounce gloves always has a possibility of creating an upset whether he’s a big puncher or not. Dit neem net een skoot. It’s the fighters’ job to take away that opportunity.
“Ek is opgewonde om te veg, tydperk. I don’t even think about this fight being a title defense. Dit neem 'n sekere tipe geestelike taaiheid en sielkundige krag in die ring te kry en uit te voer. Enigiemand wat in die ring teen my kry is 'n kampioen in my oë.
“It’s been about seven months since I fought. I’m always anxious to get back in the ring.
“As ek verby Escandon sou ek graag om te veg Leo Santa Cruz, we fought in the amateurs. But we never underestimate any opponent and we are focused on getting this fight out of the way first. Lee Selby is another guy that we’re looking at. Of course Abner Mares, selfs al het hy verloor, would be a great fight. These are the type of guys that we’d like to fight.
“Met my gesin saam met my in die oefenkamp beteken alles vir my. Dit is waar ek my energie uit. Baie van die ouens voel hulle het om weg te kom vir oefenkamp, maar ek het nie die huis te verlaat. My familie is die dryfkrag agter my oefenkamp en waar ek my krag en motivering. Aan die einde van die dag, Ek boks vir my familie.
“As my broer eindig veg op my undercard dit baie cool vir my sou wees. Dit sal snaaks wees, want as hy nie meeding, jy sal beslis sien my werk sy hoek voor my titel stryd.”
GARY RUSSELL SR.:
“Ek weet dit is 'n kampioenskap stryd, maar ons gaan in elke stryd soos dit is 'n titel stryd. Ons weet nie 'n ton van sy teenstander, ons het net lei soos kampioene.
“Ek het ses seuns, almal van hulle is vegters. Hulle het almal verskillende eienskappe as mense wat anders vertaal in wie hulle is as mense en in die ring.
“Antonio Russell is 4-0, Hy is regtig hard gewerk al van sy lewe. Buite die gimnasium, kan hy iets los. Antoine, wat net gekwalifiseer vir die Olimpiese proewe, is briljant. Ek is baie trots op hom, want hy het net gegradueer Valedictorian van sy klas met die hoogste GPA van iemand in Prince George's County. Dan moet jy Gary, wat so hard werk, Hy is die toekoms patriarg van die familie. Hy het 'n ou gees.
“Ek is trots op al my kinders en ek is trots daarop dat ons 'n sterk familie-eenheid. Ons het baie geleer uit verlies Gary se Vasyl Lomachenko. Ons het 'n leuse by die gimnasium wat hang aan 'n banier, dit sê 'Sukses is die uiteindelike wraak’ en ons het sedert die verlies geleef wat ooit. Ons het geleer 'n belangrike les uit die stryd en het op verhuis.
“Boks is 'n vlugtige ding, jy dit nie vir ewig nie. Ons doen ons eie ding. Ek is nie bekommerd oor wat ander mense gedoen het.
“Soos 'n vader, jou vaderlike instink skop in, want in hierdie sport, enigiets kan gebeur. Jy wil nie om te sien jou seun beland seer. So lei ons om enige omstandighede. As gevolg van dat instink, Ek het 'n streng en hard op my seuns om te probeer om hulle veilig te hou.”
GARY ANTONIO RUSSELL (Veg op die Vrydag, Oktober. 30 nie-televisie Premier Boxing Champions op Bounce TV undercard en potensieel die November 14 undercard.):
“Met die manier waarop ons die trein en stryd, ons verdediging stel ons oortreding en ons oortreding stel ons verdediging.
“My werk is om in te gaan en wen gevegte. Ek weet my teenstander is 'n lang man, maar ek weet ook dat hy nie gaan wen. Hy het die pons krag of ring generaalskap dat ek nie.
“Sodra ek wen, Ek is op die volgende. Ek is opgelei om konsekwent te veg. Ek hoop ek vroeg hierdie man uit, as dit kom, en bied homself. Dan wil ek graag twee weke nadat veg op my ouer broer se kaart.”

FLOYD Mayweather

“Hy is [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.

 

“Ons het gedoen wat ons moes doen vanaand 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.

 

“Alle 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 vanaand.

 

“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 jaar, I’m truly truly blessed.”

 

 

MANNY PACQUIAO

“Dit was 'n goeie stryd; Ek het gedink ek het die stryd.

 

“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 [Anthony] Margarito.

 

“I thought I was up in the fight, so that’s why I didn’t attack harder in the 11ste en 12ste 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, Mei 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 Saterdag. It’s a blessing to participate in this type of press conference and come Saterdag, Ek sal wen! 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, Uitvoerende hoof van 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.

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame Promoter, Top Rank

“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. Nou, 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 (April 29, 2015) - Floyd "Geld" Mayweather en Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao faced off for only the third time Woensdag during the final press conference for their long-awaited welterweight world championship unification fight this Saterdag, Mei 2, by die MGM Grand Garden Arena, leef op 'n betaal-per-aansig.

 

The last time the boxing superstars met face-to-face was at the Los Angeles press conference to formally announce the mega-fight on Maart 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 Uitklophoue), an 11-time world champion in five weight divisions, will take on the fighting pride of the Philippines, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Uitklophoue), the only boxer to capture world titles in eight weight classes.

 

Here is what the fighters and executives said Woensdag 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 jaar.

 

“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, is terug. 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., Mayweather se Vader & Trainer

 

“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, Pacquiao se afrigter

“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, Uitvoerende hoof van 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 11ste consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14ste 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, Hall of Fame Promoter, 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 Sport

 

“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. Ook, there will be two undercard events starting at 9 namiddag. 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. Tune-in and tune-in early.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, Uitvoerende vise-president en Algemene Bestuurder, Showtime Sport

 

“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 uur. We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a highly anticipated event.”
