Floyd Mayweather, 11-Waktu Juara Dunia
“Kamp pelatihan saya pada dasarnya berjalan dengan cara yang sama. Saya pikir sudah halus daripada yang lain. Aku merasa sangat nyaman dan senang dengan penampilan saya. Mereka mendorong saya keras di kamp. Mereka tahu apa yang saya butuhkan.
“Waktu untuk pertarungan ini adalah tepat. Pertarungan ini adalah tentang warisan, penggemar dan keluarga. Saya mengelilingi diri saya dengan semua orang yang tepat.
“Saya tidak bisa mengatakan bahwa pertarungan ini adalah tentang sensasi. Ini adalah kehidupan nyata. Ini adalah dua Balai masa depan Famers dalam mega-pertarungan.
“Aku sudah melakukan nomor pemecah rekor sebelumnya dan sepertinya kita akan melakukannya lagi.
“Segala sesuatu dalam hidup adalah tentang waktu. Saya tidak menyesal bahwa pertarungan ini tidak terjadi lima tahun yang lalu. Saya tidak berpikir itu yang besar maka, tapi terus mendapatkan lebih besar dan lebih besar. Tidak hanya di tinju, tetapi di luar olahraga. Pacquiao terus tumbuh di luar olahraga. Kami tidak perlu terburu-buru apapun.
“Ini akan menjadi pertarungan yang menarik sebuah. Gaya kami sama sekali berbeda. dia sangat, sangat sembrono. Setiap langkah saya membuat dihitung. Saya selalu 5-10 langkah di depan lawan saya.
“Kita akan melihat apa yang terjadi ketika pertarungan dimulai. Tapi ketika semua dikatakan dan dilakukan saya akan menjadi pemenang.
“Pacquiao adalah kuat dan solid tapi saya tidak tahu apakah dia bisa melakukan penyesuaian seperti saya bisa. Saya merasa luar biasa.
“Ini adalah pertarungan yang sulit untuk membuat terjadi, tapi kami membuat hal itu terjadi. Pertarungan ini adalah salah satu yang terbesar yang pernah di tinju.
“Aku masih akan kuat. Terakhir kali aku melihat, Tadi saya 47 dan 0.
“Siapapun dapat terkena dengan tembakan yang besar, tapi saya bisa membuat lebih banyak penyesuaian dan Manny tidak bisa.
“Saya tidak berpikir Pacquiao mengharapkan saya untuk terlihat kuat atau besar ketika kita berhadapan (di L.A yang. konferensi pers).
“Aku berjalan-jalan di 150-152 pound untuk menimbang 147 pon. Petinju lain berat sekitar 160-170 sebelum turun.
“Saya punya satu laga lebih lanjut tentang kontrak saya. Aku tidak bisa lebih bahagia dengan SHOWTIME dan CBS.
“Las Vegas adalah ibukota tinju. During a Floyd Mayweather fight weekend, you can shop, party, stay out late and do anything you want. The city of Las Vegas has everything.
“There were offers to fight other places, but MGM Grand is my home.
“Anything I’ve asked of MGM Grand, they’ve done for me in a heartbeat. They’re all about making entertainers and athletes happy.”
LEO SANTA CRUZ, WBC super bantam Juara Dunia
“I’m very grateful for the opportunity to fight on such an unbelievably huge card. I really want to thank Floyd Mayweather.
“Any boxer would like to be on this card where millions of people are watching. I’m happy to represent Mexico on this night and on this fight card.
“I look at it as a key opportunity for me to make an even bigger name for myself, which is my goal because one day I want to become a superstar like Floyd. That’s why I train really hard all of the time.
“There are no little fights for me. I consider every fighter dangerous. You lose when you think a fighter is not on your level and then he comes in hungrier than you. That will never happen to me.
“I don’t know who I’m fighting yet, but I’m sparring different guys with different styles.
“There’s always a lot at risk for me. People keep talking about all of these big fights, but if I don’t win now, there will be no big fights in the future.
“I know who I want to fight, but I don’t pick my opponents; I leave it up to my team. They make those kinds of decisions. My job is to fight and win.
“I have to stay concentrated. I have to maintain focus and concentration. I can’t get ahead of myself. saya beri 100 percent in training and in the ring. I always want to put on a great fight for the fans.”
LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promotions
“Boxing is at an all time high at the moment. There are a lot of great things going on. Between this fight and getting boxing back on network television, it’s all great for the sport.
“This fight will not only elevate the sport in general, but it will bring in the casual fan to the sport and that’s a great thing.
“The impact that Floyd Mayweather has had on this sport is immeasurable. People won’t be able to appreciate that until he retires. He’s done so much for this sport. He’s given fighters a platform to say to other promoters that they deserve the lion’s share of the money. He’s brought more sponsorships to the sport.
“Floyd Mayweather is the highest paid athlete in all of sports and he happens to be a boxer.
“I think the demand thus far only indicates how big this event is. This is a fight that’s been talked about for five years now and everyone is going to get exactly what they’ve been asking for.
“Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. He’s been in a number of great fights and he’s had a terrific career thus far. These are the two best fighters of this generation and come Mei 2 there will be one man standing and it will be Floyd Mayweather.
“There’s no doubt it’s going to be a great fight. Saya sangat bersemangat. I can see firsthand the day-to-day preparation that Floyd puts in and he’s working just as hard as ever. The fans are going to get a great fight that night.
“I don’t know what Manny Pacquiao has to do on Mei 2, but I know what Floyd Mayweather has to do. He has to do what he normally does and go in there and execute his game plan and I really expect Floyd to knock him out.”
Floyd Mayweather SR., Mayweather’s Trainer & Father
“Floyd is as well rounded a fighter as there has ever been, but he’s really still here because of his defense.
“Other guys fight with their head and their mind and come up short. It’s his great defense that has kept him on top for so long.
“I want you all to see it. It’s so plain and simple what he’s going to do. Even Ray Charles could see it.
“I honestly never thought that this was going to happen. So many people were trying to say Floyd was scared. Lets see on Mei 2 who is scared.
“I can’t tell you why or how, but here’s an update, Floyd is going to kick his a** and knock Pacquiao out.
“I didn’t watch one tape on Pacquiao. There is no reason to study him. He’s not at this level.
“Floyd is the best, I must confess. Nothing is going to stop Floyd Mayweather.
“Pacquiao’s trainer Coach Roach (Freddie Roach) is lying to you. Trying to trick you all. Floyd’s not getting knocked down in the gym. Floyd is the one knocking people down. Roach blows smoke with no hope.”
