Hawnhekk huwa dak li l-ġellieda kellhom jgħidu Il-Ħamis:
ROMAN MARTINEZ
“Nifhem li Salido hija ġellied qawwija. Nafu lil xulxin sew. Dan hu għaliex għandna mħarrġa diffiċli ħafna għal din il-ġlieda, saħansitra aktar diffiċli milli għall-ewwel tagħna. Ninsab ħerqan li jiksbu din ir-rebħa għal kulħadd ta 'Puerto Rico.
“L-espożizzjoni għal din il-ġlieda hija aqwa; id-dinja kollha se tkun jaraw. Aħna hekk imdorri ma 'xulxin u nifhmu li għandna biex raba prestazzjoni tremend fuq karta ta' dan il-kobor.
“Irrid li tkompli tkun champion tad-dinja għal kulħadd ta 'Puerto Rico. Jien f'kondizzjoni quċċata u jien lest li jiksbu l-rebħa.
“Salido tista 'tgħid kull ma jrid. I know lilu u I kien kapaċi li knock lilu stabbiliti fl-ewwel ġlieda. Jien kunfidenti I tista 'tmur finitura lilu.
“Nifhem għaliex din il-ġlieda qed jiġri. Min ma tkunx tixtieq li tara lilna jmorru fil darb'oħra? Imma ħsibt I b'mod ċar rebaħ l-ewwel darba, u ninsab kunfidenti I se jirbaħ darb'oħra nhar is-Sibt.”
Orlando Salido
“Inti raw dak li ġara l-aħħar darba aħna ġġieldu. Inti taf dan se jkun matchup spettakolari. Naf Rocky tajjeb ħafna u naf hu ġellied intelliġenti. Last time I ltqajna barra mill-pjan logħba tiegħi. Din il-ġlieda, Jien iffukat u ħerqana għal ġlieda kbira.
“Jien ġlied aħjar milli hu. Naf li Martinez se jimxu, imma jien f'kondizzjoni kbir li jfittxu lilu u jiksbu l-rebħa.
“Huwa dwar jkollna fuq ġewwa għalija. Martinez huwa ġlied intelliġenti u hu jaf kif jużah jilħqu tiegħu. Jekk I jistgħu jiksbu ġewwa sidru u tattakka l-korp I se jiksbu l-rebħa.
“Li għaddej biex tkun l-aħjar ġlieda tal-lejl. Aħna qed tmur biex jiskambjaw daqqa u pick up fejn aħna jitħalla 'off. Jien qed tittratta din simili huwa l-akbar ġlieda tal-karriera tiegħi u I ma jistgħux jistennew li juru ħiliet tiegħi waħda aktar ħin.”
JACK Badou
“Jien eċċitati ħafna għal din il-ġlieda. Kellna kamp tremend. Aħna lesti li jmorru. I ma nitkellmux ħafna. Jien kollha dwar ġlied.
“Groves huwa assolutament mhux in my head. Jien iffokat u mentalment qawwija dwar il-ħidma tiegħi fil-idejn. I rebaħ akbar ġlieda tiegħi li I kellna aġġornati, huwa ma. Huwa kellu żewġ shots fil-titolu u tilef tnejn.
“Groves ltqajna famuż għall jkollna knocked out minn Carl Froch. Hu ġellied tajba, imma jien komdu ħafna li jien ser tħabbat lilu.
“I biss jibqgħu ffukati fuq dak li nagħmel. Ħadd ma huwa jkollna taħt il-ġilda tiegħi.
“Stajt dejjem emmen fil myself. Affarijiet jiġri fil-boxing. I ħadmu iebes u li kif sirt dan il-mument.
“Stajt dejjem kien il-underdog fl-opinjoni tiegħi. I bhalu. Dan jimmotiva me. Jien ser turi l-utilità tiegħiIS-SIBT lejl.”
GEORGE GROVES
“Hija xi ħaġa kbira li jkun hawn. Ninsab kuntenta li jkollhom sparatura tiegħi fil-titolu. Aħna lesti. I kont qed jivvjaġġaw lejn Vegas għall-kaxxa peress I kien 13--il sena qodma. Sena wara sena stajt dejjem kien suċċess hawn, dejjem bil knockouts.
“Boxers Brittaniċi qed tagħmel tajjeb fil-ċirku bħala tard, but there is no extra pressure or incentive. We’re very prepared. Nafu dak li għandna bżonn tkun taf dwar Jack. Aħna nixtiequ lilu xortih, għaliex huwa għaddej biex bżonnha.
“Huwa ġlieda enormi għalija bit-titolu fuq il-linja. Stajt kien involut ma 'kompetizzjoni ogħla imma jien ma ħadux għajn tiegħi off ta Badou Jack. Aħna ħerqana biex rebħa tajba nhar is-Sibt.
“Taħriġ fil Big Bear kien kbir. L-ewwel ġimgħa I realizzati l-differenza fil-sħana u altitudni. Imma l-aktar I love tiġi iżolata. Hawn huwa paċi, Jien purament fil-kamp. Ebda distrazzjonijiet oħrajn.
“Jien kunfidenti li tirbaħ. Jien dejjem kunfidenti li tirbaħ. L-aħjar mod biex jiddeskrivu din il-ġlieda hija li Badou Jack huwa ġellied tajba, imma jien ġlied aħjar. Jien aħjar milli lilu f'kull fażi tal-logħba.
Jhonny Gonzalez
“Dan huwa t-tieni ġlieda tiegħi fil 130 liri u inħoss ħafna aktar komdi, b'saħħitha, kunfidenti u sigur minn I għamel fil 126.
“Huwa tremend li tkun fuq din il-karta ġlieda. Dan se jkun ġlieda terrific. Stajt mħarrġa iebes u jien lesta li tmur nhar is-Sibt. Ir-realtà hija, dan huwa t-tip ta 'ġlieda li tista' ġġib me pass eqreb lejn f'titolu ieħor dinja.”
Jonathan OQUENDO
“Iċ-ċavetta prinċipali, jekk I kaxxa jew bugħarwien, is to fight smart. Jien eċċitati ħafna għal din l-opportunità. Dan ifisser ħafna għalija li jkun fuq karta ta 'dan il-kobor. Jien eċċitati li jintiżnu fil għada.
“Meta inti għandek Messiku vs. Puerto Rico, ikollok gwerra. Għandi l-ebda dubju li se jkun hemm demm fiċ-ċirku. Jhonny Gonzalez huwa ħafna esperjenza u kien champion kbir, u I nirringrazzja lilu għat-teħid din il-ġlieda. Ninsab ħerqan li jkollna fil-ċirku IS-SIBT.”
Kienu SMITH
“Meta I ġġieldu Cornelius Bundrage għat-titlu, I kien jaf I kellha tirbaħ. I kellhom ħafna pressjoni fuqi. Ma kien hemm ebda dubju kelli biex tirbaħ. Huwa l-istess ħaġa issa. Vanes hija ġellied tajba, imma jien li tirbaħ. I kellna biex iġibu myself up mill-qiegħ.
“Kollha tal-promoturi oħra taw up fuqi, iżda Leonard Ellerbe u Floyd ħa ċ-ċans fuqi u jien ser tkun dejjem grat.
“Vanes hija ġellied tajba. Huwa ser tkun enfer ta 'ġlieda. Għandi biex tirbaħ. Għandi l-ebda għażla. “
Vanes MARTIROSYAN
“Ishe hija ġellied tajba. Hu kien ma 'lott ta' guys iebsa. Għandi ħafna ta 'rispett għall lilu. Huwa ser tkun ġlieda verament tajba.
“Huwa barka li jkun hawn. I kellhom kamp verament tajba u jien eċċitati li l-ġlieda huwa hawnhekk. Hija xi ħaġa kbira li tkun parti ta 'juru bħal dan.
“I ma jistax jistenna din il-ġlieda. Int kollha ser tara "Il-ħmarillejl’ nhar is-Sibt lejl.”

Dak li huwa mistenni li jkun l-ġlieda finali ta 'illustri karriera tiegħu 19-il sena, boxing superstar u lira-għal-lira king Mayweather (48-0, 26 Kos) se tpoġġi rekord undefeated tiegħu u WBC u WBA Kampjonati tad-Dinja welterweight fuq il-linja meta huwa jiffaċċja power-ippanċjar, żewġ time champion welterweight dinja Berto (30-3, 23 Kos). Tlett ijiem qabel ma jiltaqa 'fil-ċirku, iż-żewġ ġellieda u l-kampijiet tagħhom kienu intraprenditorjali u kunfidenti kif ħadu dawriet tagħhom fil-podju.
Hawnhekk huwa dak li l-ġellieda u eżekuttivi kellhom jgħidu l-Erbgħa:
FLOYD Mayweather
“Imxejna kien hawn hekk bosta drabi. Naf tkellem ma jirbħu tissielet. Naf trejners ma win tissielet. Dan jaqa 'għal-żewġ kompetituri. Jien dejjem lesti, fiżikament u mentalment. Għandna pjan logħba notevoli.
“Nixtieq nirringrazzja lil kulħadd li tkun koperta dan l-avveniment u l-karriera tiegħi fuq 19 snin. Jekk kienx storja tajba jew storja ħażina, inti guys kiteb dwar lili u miżmuma me rilevanti. Thats kif I kienet f'pożizzjoni li tagħmel numri tkissir rekord.
“Kamp ta 'taħriġ kien unbelievable, bħal dejjem. I kien mistoqsi jekk I d ​​tkun kapaċi tikseb f'kondizzjoni top wara l-ġlieda Pacquaio u I assolutament ma. Ebda kwistjoni li I għażlet, l-kritiċi jkollhom xi ħaġa li jgħidu.
“Naf dak li hemm bżonn għal ġlieda fuq dan il-kobor. Ma jimpurtax f'liema ħadd jgħid, niġu jistabbilixxi ż-żewġ kompetituri u naf dak I tista 'tagħmel. Ħaġa waħda I tista 'tagħmel, I jista ġlieda.
“Meta nitkellmu dwar inżul l-ogħla persentaġġ, Jien li Guy. Meta nitkellmu dwar kif isir l-ogħla gate jew PPV, Jien li Guy.
“Ma nistax ngħid jien ser jispiċċaw 49-0 għaliex inti ma tistax tinjora xi ħadd.
“Kull ġlieda kellu ċ-ċavetta prinċipali. Huwa mhux biss l-intelliġenza; huwa l-moħħ sharp, il-geddum tajba, il-qalb tremend. I qatt injorat opponent. I mħarrġa għal kull ġlied bl-istess mod, billi timbotta myself. Nemmen fil-ħiliet tiegħi u jien nemmen fil talent tiegħi. Stajt ġiet fil hemm ma 'l-aħjar, u r-riżultati huma dejjem l-istess.
“Inti għandek ġellieda li jistgħu jkunu aktar mgħaġġla minn lili, hemm ġellieda li jistgħu jintlaqtu aktar diffiċli minn lili, għandek ġellieda li huma atletiċi ħafna, imma inti ma għandekx qlubija li tista 'tagħmel aġġustamenti bħali. Inti ma għandekx ġellieda li jistgħu jkunu fuq livell tiegħi mentalment.
“Huwa qatt personali għalija, huwa dejjem negozju. Kulħadd tissielet għal dak li ġlieda għall. Ħaġa tiegħi hija din; I iżommu għajnejn tiegħi fuq il-premju. I ma jiffokaw fuq affarijiet barra l-ring. I tiffoka fuq il-Guy quddiem lili.
“Ikollok biex fejn ikollok biex jibqgħu ffukati mill. Ħolma tiegħi kien li tkun l-aħjar. Ma jimpurtax x'jiġri is-Sibt, meta niġu għall boxing, Jien l-aħjar fuq dan.
“Xi guys riedu għaġla me, ukoll x'hemm pjan B? Pacquiao jista 'jistabbilixxi nases għall-ġellieda oħra, imma hu ma setgħetx toħloq nases għall Floyd Mayweather. Ikollok bżonn ta 'pjan A, pjan B u pjan C. Stajt qatt imsawta qlubija mal-pjan A tiegħi.
“Berto inti kellna enfer ta 'karriera. Inti ġellied iebsa u kompetitur. Huwa ovvju li inti ghamilt xi ħaġa tajba. Ħaġa tiegħi hija, biss jitqiegħed guys quddiem lili, u aħna ser rata lilu wara li jiffaċċjaw me.
“Biex tkun fl-isport tal-boxing u jagħmlu fuq ta ' $800 miljun, tim tiegħi għamlet xogħol tagħhom. Stajt qatt iffukat fuq affarijiet fuq barra. Stajt qatt ma jitqiegħdu xejn qabel boxing. Fil 4:30 fil-għodu meta avversarju tiegħi huwa irqad, Jien jaħdmu. Ma rridx li jħallu xejn f'dan l-isport.
“Nru ġlied fl-istorja kien fin ġlied akbar minn lili. Nru ġlied fl-istorja tħabbat aktar champions milli stajt tħabbat. Imma mhux aktar għadha. I’m going to push myself. I can go to places where no fighter can go mentally.
“L-isport ta 'boxing jeħtieġ din. Berto hija iebsa, żgħażagħ, ġlied bil-ġuħ u dan huwa dak li għandna bżonn biex iġibu l-aħjar mill minna. Jien ser tressaq u jkun Floyd Mayweather. Trainers u ġellieda tipprova ssib modi biex tarmi off ġellieda, imma I jafu x'għandhom jagħmlu meta dan kollu imsemmi u jsir.
“Irrid legacy tiegħi li jkun ta 'ġlied notevoli ġewwa l-anell u negozjant kbir barra minnha.
“Aħna qed tmur għall-eliminatorja. Jien pretty żgur hu għaddej għall-eliminatorja. Huwa ser tkun xi ħaġa speċjali.”
Berto OĦRA
“Huwa umoristiċi, meta niġu għall-midja u kritiċi. Huma qed mhux f'dak gym tax-xogħol u jkunu jafu l-sentiment li jkunu ġlied. Huma ma jafux il-mili aħna run u s-sagrifiċċji li għandna biex jagħmlu biex issir champion dinji jew toħroġ għal dan il-livell ta 'ġlieda.
“Dan kamp kienet intensa. Hija tkun definittivament ħadet me up għal livelli li stajt qatt milħuqa. Imxejna ħallew tħalli xejn barra, Stajt busted ħmar tiegħi għall-aħħar ftit xhur.
“Xi ħadd li passi fil-ċirku, I jridu jirrispettaw. Meta wasal iż-żmien għall-ġlieda kontra, Jien ġejjin għar-rispett tiegħi. Sibt bil-lejl se tkun waħda tajba I wegħda inti.
“Stajt mogħtija kollu tal-ħajja tiegħi għal dan l-isport. I ħadthom ġejjin fi u stajt konjizzjoni l-poplu. Dan huwa dak I do. C'est pourquoi I daħal fis din il-logħba. Stajt ġiet magħduda out minn jum wieħed li ġejjin minn fejn jien ġej minn.
“Jien biss ġejjin għar-rispett tiegħi. Jien ġejjin għal dak kollu li jixirqilhom I.
“Fl-aħħar tal-ġurnata, I għandhom ikunu jistgħu jieħdu logħba tiegħi għal livell ieħor kollu. Kultant ikollok bżonn li opponent li inti tikseb dak il-punt, u Floyd hija dik.
“Huwa għandu IQ kbir, xutt wieħed jista 'bidla dan kollu.
“Inti tista 'tkun intelliġenti, inti tista 'tkun mgħaġġla, iżda dan huwa boxing.
“Floyd hija qawwija naturalment, imma jien ċerti għodod li nemmen se jagħmilha diffiċli Sibt bil-lejl reali. Aħna qed tmur għall-eliminatorja. You definitely ma tridx taqbeż dan.
“Dan huwa enormi għall-Ħaiti. Il-pajjiż tal-Ħaiti huwa biss elated dritt issa u Sibt bil-lejl huma definittivament se jkun fil-bini. Sibt bil-lejl se jkun storiku għall-pajjiż. Dan huwa l-ewwel darba li individwu kienet fuq dan il-livell li jirrappreżentaw il-pajjiż.
SR FLOYD Mayweather., Missier Mayweather tal & Trainer
“Nara ġlieda reali fuq is-Sibt. Ma jsibux me wrong minħabba I do not know x'inhu għaddej imma I really think Floyd huwa li ġejjin għall-ġlieda kontra.
“Naf li Berto ġejjin għall-ġlieda kontra. Ħaġa waħda Stajt tidher minn Berto huwa li ma jkollu ebda difiża – u hu messing ma whiz difensiva.
“I definitely naħseb Floyd rieda nassa lilu x'imkien matul it-triq.
“Floyd jirrispetta Berto u mhux tinjora lilu, imma hu jista 'biss twaqqaf lilu, huwa ferm possibbli.”
VIRGIL HUNTER, Trainer Berto ta
“Hemm xi affarijiet li ħafna nies ma jifhmux. Meta għandek żewġ guys li twieldu f'sitwazzjonijiet fejn huma jippruvaw li jipprova li l-king tal-iskola hija, ikollok xi ġlied reali.
“I jaħsbu dwar Joe Frazier fil- “Thrilla f'Manila”, meta n-nies ħasbu li kien sar, imma huwa ġġieldu fuq kap tiegħu. Ma Andre Berto jkollhom li l-kapaċità? Iva, naturalment hu ma. Naraw dan il-ħin fl-isports. Hemm iljieli meta jiġri biss. Andre Berto se teħodha fuq kap tiegħu u dan huwa dak li bi ħsiebu jagħmel u dak li jkun li jagħmel.
“Aħna ma jistgħux jaqblu IQ tiegħu, iżda hemm elementi oħra li jagħmlu ġlieda suċċess. Hemm birra xi ħaġa fl-arja. Stajt kien madwar żmien twil u naf meta xi ħaġa personali. You aħjar għid lin-nies tiegħek biex tixgħel għal din il-ġlieda. Trust me; li għaddej biex tkun ħsejjes.
“Stajt tidher Pjan B Floyd. Stajt tidher lilu jmorru għall-gwerra. Stajt tidher lilu ħsejjes ma guys akbar milli lilu. Jien ma jmur biex jiġix influwenzat minn ħila tiegħu. Din il-ġlieda se tkun miġġielda mill-mod fil-fond l isfel.”
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO ta Promozzjonijiet Mayweather
“Aħna ferħana li dan il-lejl ġlieda għandhom jiġu mimlija bil ishma għoljin matchups kollha lejl. Għandna karta ġlieda tremend. Of course, l-avveniment prinċipali għandha l-ogħla ishma ta 'lilhom kollha bħala Andre Berto se tieħu fuq il Floyd Mayweather undefeated.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Viċi-President Eżekuttiv u General Manager, Showtime Sports
“Sitt tissielet fil 30 xhur. Floyd, huma qalu inti ma tagħmel dan, huma qalu inti ma setgħux jagħmlu dan u għal darb'oħra inti ppruvat lilhom żbaljata. L-ewwel ħames ġlied renda kważi 10 miljun PPV jixtri, $750 miljuni fid-dħul PPV u dan kollu wassal hawn biex jiġġieldu numru sitta, Numru ġlieda 49.
“19 snin undefeated, 17 snin konsekuttivi bħala champion tad-dinja, 16 avversarji konsekuttivi li huma ċampjins jew attwali. Sibt ebda lejl ta 'li l-kwistjonijiet. Andre Berto mhux tifi ta 'legat jew ta' ktieb tar-rekords jew storja, hu tifi raġel, u l-irġiel jistgħu jitilfu.
“L-għerf konvenzjonali huwa li Floyd se jirbaħ din il-ġlieda, iżda għerf konvenzjonali qal li l-ewwel ġlieda Maidana ikun faċli għall Floyd. Huwa qal Canelo Ikun isfidant aktar ħorox Floyd u qal Pacquiao jista 'taħbit Mayweather. Hija ma kont għall Hasim Rahman jew Buster Douglas u ċertament mhux se jammontaw għal qalb Andre Berto jew xewqa li jiktbu l-istorja boxing Sibt bil-lejl.
“Bħalek, I do not know dak li se jiġri Sibt bil-lejl. I do jafu li Berto hija aktar atletiċi minn xi ġlied Floyd stinka reċentement. Ħaġa waħda I do know, mhuwiex ser ikun boring. Meta inti għandek ġellieda bħal karta tagħna PPV kollu għandu, huwa lejl li ma għandiex tintilef.”
STORM RICHARD, President tal Entertainment & Sports għall Resorts MGM Internazzjonali
“Aħna ferħana li tkun parti ta 'din il-ġlieda kampjonat bejn Mayweather u Berto li se kick off lineup waqgħa sensazzjonali ta' divertiment fil MGM. Aħna lkoll ħerqanin sabiex istorja bħala Floyd jistenna sa l-aħħar tal-karriera tiegħu fil 49-0 u daqs il-rekord ta 'Rocky Marciano li tkun ilha minn Settembru 1955.
“Għandna pjaċir li nilqgħu lura Andre Berto. Berto se tieħu fuq waħda mill-akbar champions tal-isport u ma hemm ebda dubju hu se tkun ippreparata għall-isfida.”
BOB BENNETT, President tal-kummissjoni Athletic Istat Nevada
“M'hemm l-ebda dubju li kull kummissjoni fid-dinja ser tkun elated li jkollhom din il-ġlieda, bħad aħna. Aħna apprezzaw ħafna ta Floyd Mayweather talli dan juri fil arrière tagħna. Il NSAC attwalment ikkummissjonat ewwel ġlieda Floyd 19 snin ilu u sal-lum għandna regolati 25 minn 49 ta 'ġlied Floyd come dan bil-lejl is-Sibt meta huwa jipprova li torbot rekord Rocky Marciano ta.

FLOYD Mayweather

“Hu [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.

 

“Għamilna dak li aħna kellha tagħmel tonight 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.

 

“Kollha 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 tonight.

 

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 snin, I’m truly truly blessed.

 

 

MANNY PACQUIAO

“Kienet ġlieda tajba; 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 [Anthony] Margarito.

 

I thought I was up in the fight, so that’s why I didn’t attack harder in the 11th u 12th rawnds.

 

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.

LEO SANTA CRUZ

I’m more than excited to be on this undercard. This is the biggest card I could have been on. I want to show the whole world who I am.

 

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, Mejju 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 nhar is-Sibt. It’s a blessing to participate in this type of press conference and come IS-SIBT, I se jirbaħ! 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 ta Promozzjonijiet Mayweather

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.

 

Leo Santa Cruz is one of the classiest gentleman in the sport. He’s a very fan-friendly fighter and a Mexican warrior. He represents Mexico very well.

 

BOB ARUM, Sala tal-Eroj Promotur, 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. Issa, 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 "Flus" Mayweather u Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao faced off for only the third time L-Erbgħa during the final press conference for their long-awaited welterweight world championship unification fight this IS-SIBT, Mejju 2, fil-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 Marzu 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 historythe 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 L-Erbgħa 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 snin.

 

“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, huwa lura. 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.”

SR FLOYD Mayweather., Missier Mayweather tal & 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, Trainer Pacquiao tal-

“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 ta Promozzjonijiet Mayweather

 

“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 11th consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14th 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, Sala tal-Eroj Promotur, 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. Wkoll, there will be two undercard events starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. 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 sigħat. We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a highly anticipated event.”
