Hollywood, Calif. (April 16, 2015) – It was Manny Media Mania at NgoLwesithathu media workout for Fighter of the Decade, eight-division world champion and boxing superhero Congressman MANNY “Pacman” Pacquiao. Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos), who represents the Sarangani province in the Philippines, hosted a Hollywood Media Workout with his Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and Hall of Promoter Bob Arum.

 

Over 300 media from around the globe flocked to Wild Card Boxing Club to ask the trio about Pacquiao’s May 2 welterweight world championship unification battle against undefeatedFloyd “Imali” MAYWEATHER JR. (47-0, 26 Kos), at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., the live pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® and SHOWTIME PPV® isiqala at 9:00 p.m. KANYE/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

What Pacquiao, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach wathiWednesday:

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Eight-Division World Champion

 

I feel very excited for the fight.

 

I have a lot of sparring partners that are similar to Floyd’s fighting style, we have done well. We know what to expect.

 

I have watched tape on Floyd to make sure that our strategy and technique in training camp is correct.

 

My entire career defines my legacy; I have already accomplished great achievements in my career while excelling in different weight divisions. This fight is an additional achievement in my career; it’s the biggest fight in boxing history.

 

I can say that beating Floyd would be the biggest victory of my career.

 

More people are interested and informed about this fight now than they would’ve been five years ago.

 

Style wise, I am the same fighter I was five years ago. My determination, inspiration and killer instinct is the exact same as it was five or six years ago.

 

“Kwami, boxing is my passion. I enjoy boxing and giving honor to my country of the Philippines. My concern is to bring an exciting fight to my fans. My first concern going into every fight is how will be to be able to entertain my fans, give them enjoyment and make them happy.

 

The reason I am so loved by fans is because of my reckless style of fighting. People like exciting fights with actual punches being thrown.

 

BOB ARUM, Top Rank CEO

 

Manny is motivated, he’s ready for the fight. I expect a great performance from him.

 

It’s a very interesting fight because Floyd is a defensive specialist who has a good right hand and picks off his opponents. He’s an extraordinarily good fighter.

 

Pacquiao’s strength is speed, particularly his foot speed and the fact that he throws so many punches and attacks from low angles. He really hits harder than Floyd does, so that’s really what it’s going to be about.

 

Floyd has a different defense than Juan Manuel Marquez. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. Ngemva kwalokho wathi, I think Manny is going to surprise a lot of people with how he is going to be able to reach Floyd.

 

I would say Manny is more motivated for this fight than any other fight I’ve seen him prepare for.

 

I’m looking forward to May 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, that’s the main thing. He looks great, he’s motivated, no nonsense, and I think he’s going to put on a performance for the ages. It’s going to be hard for him to top his performance against Oscar De La Hoya, but I think he will in this fight.


Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s Hall of Fame Trainer

 

We have a great idea of when and where we are going to attack Mayweather.

 

This fight was five years in the making. Promoters should realize that these types of fights are what’s best for boxing and we should have more fights like this. I’m not surprised by the hype surrounding the fight.

 

Manny has really raised the bar in this training camp. He’s a different Manny Pacquiao than I have seen him going into previous training camps. He is punching so much harder in training for this camp.

 

Manny is better than ever, his attitude is different and I’ve never seen him work this hard. His speed is faster, his punches are harder. I’m really happy where he’s at. His legs look great; he’s on his toes all the time.

 

Mayweather is a good counter-puncher, but Manny has faster hands and his combinations are better than Floyd’s.

 

Both fighters have great experience, so I don’t believe that will be a factor in the fight. The biggest thing is that each fighter comes in with a different style. Floyd is a counter-puncher but Manny must be the one to enforce the fight.

 

I believe that Manny being a southpaw will be a factor in this fight. Manny showed me tape of Floyd fighting a southpaw and told me that that is exactly what we are going to do in this fight.

 

I can tell how much this fight means to Manny because he has watched tape on Floyd. Manny has never watched tape on any fighter before.

 

Since Manny moved to 147 he hasn’t knocked many guys out, so getting the knockout in this fight isn’t a concern for me. If Manny fights at 140, then he does knock guys out, but at this weight he is fighting guys who are bigger than him.

 

Floyd may be a bigger guy, but we will still win the fight.

 

This fight is much bigger than when Manny fought Oscar De La Hoya. Manny is a different person going into this fight. He hit me so hard the other day that I believe it’s the hardest I’ve ever been hit by a fighter who I’m training.

 

I don’t believe that Floyd ever wanted this fight, he was forced to take it by the public and the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if Floyd pulled out now.

Las Vegas – (April 15, 2015) – Ngaphezu kwe 200 accredited press members from around the world descended upon Mayweather Boxing Club for NgoLwesibili Floyd Mayweather Media Day. It was the 11-time world champion Mayweather’s first and only open training session before his welterweight world championship unification mega-showdown against Manny Pacquiao on Saturday, May 2, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas live on pay-per-view.

 

Superstars Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) futhi Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos) is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., the live pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® and SHOWTIME PPV® isiqala at9:00 p.m. KANYE/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Several dozen television camera crews, Iphephandaba bezingosi, boxing abalobi, radio imisakazo, web reporters, photographers and (video) bloggers watched as Mayweather went through the paces during a 90-plus minute workout that included working the heavy bag, smacking the speed bag, hitting the mitts, jumping rope, stretching and doing calisthenics.

 

Before a training session streamed in high definition across multiple platforms, kuhlanganise nge feed satellite, YouTube and ezokuxhum, Mayweather answered questions from the media inside a specially-constructed tent in a parking lot outside the gym.

 

What Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. and unbeaten WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz, who will fight in the top pay-per-view undercard bout on May 2, wathi Tuesday:

 

Floyd Mayweather, 11-Isikhathi World Champion

 

My training camp is basically running the same way. I think it has been smoother than others. I feel very comfortable and happy with my performances. They push me hard at camp. They know what I need.

 

The timing for this fight is right. This fight is about legacy, fans and family. I surround myself with all of the right people.

 

I can’t say that this matchup is about hype. This is real life. This is two future Hall of Famers in a mega-fight.

 

I’ve done record breaking numbers before and it looks like we’re going to do it again.

 

Everything in life is about timing. I have no regrets that this fight didn’t take place five years ago. I didn’t think it was that big then, but it continued to get bigger and bigger. Not just in boxing, but outside of the sport. Pacquiao has continued to grow outside of the sport. We didn’t need to rush anything.

 

This is going to be an exciting fight. Our styles are totally different. He is very, very reckless. Every move I make is calculated. I’m always 5-10 steps ahead of my opponent.

 

We’ll see what happens when the fight starts. But when all is said and done I’m going to be the winner.

 

Pacquiao is strong and solid but I don’t know if he can make adjustments like I can. I feel tremendous.

 

This was a difficult fight to make happen, but we made it happen. This fight is one of the biggest ever in boxing.

 

I’m still going strong. The last time I looked, Bekade ngi 47 futhi 0.

 

Anyone can get hit with a great shot, but I can make more adjustments and Manny can’t.

 

I don’t think Pacquiao expected me to look as strong or big when we faced off (at the L.A. press conference).

 

I walk around at 150-152 pounds to weigh 147 amakhilogremu. Other boxers weigh around 160-170 before coming down.

 

I’ve got one more fight on my contract. I couldn’t be happier with SHOWTIME and CBS.

 

Las Vegas is the boxing capital. 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 Bantamweight World Champion

 

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. I give 100 percent in training and in the ring. I always want to put on a great fight for the fans.


Leonard ELLERBE, CEO of 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 May 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. Ngijabulile ngempela. 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 May 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 May 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.

All the fans watching on fight night will be in for a great show when Leo Santa Cruz enters the ring.

I’m grateful to Floyd Mayweather and Mayweather Promotions for giving me this opportunity and giving the Mexican fight fans another reason to cheer on May 2.”

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao marks the second-consecutive Mayweather pay-per-view event featuring Santa Cruz. In September he wiped out Manuel Roman with a second-round technical knockout as the co-main event ofMAYHEM: Mayweather vs. Maidana 2.Previously he had fought on the non-televised undercard of MAY DAY: Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero, with a technical knockout over Alexander Munoz. Ukwengeza, this is the fourth consecutive fight for Santa Cruz at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and his ninth overall in the state of Nevada of his 30 kuvelaphi ukulwa professional.

 

In non-pay-per-view undercard action, a pair of Mayweather Promotionsfighters will look to keep their undefeated records intact. Super welterweight prospect Chris “Sweet” Pearson (11-0, 9 Kos) will square off against tough brawler Wathi El Harrak (12-2-2, 7 Kos) in a 10-round iziqubu.

 

“Ngingumfana osemncane, hungry fighter who has big aspirations in this sport,” kusho uPearson. “May 2 is a great opportunity to show the world why I will be a future world champion.

The fan-friendly two-division world champion Santa Cruz has defended his super bantamweight title numerous times in impressive fashion on his way to earning a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the world. The 26-year-old won his first world title in 2012. In 2013 he won his super bantamweight title, which he now holds. Born in Huetamo, Michoaca de Ocampo, Mexico but fighting out of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz looks to entertain the fans at MGM Grand on May 2 when he fights on the highly anticipated Mayweather vs. Pacquiao pay-per-view.

 

An undefeated prospect out of Dayton, Ohio, Pearson is coming off of an impressive unanimous decision in Dececmber 2014 over the hard-hitting Steve Martinez and he looks to keep his momentum going when he fights on May 2. At nje 24,, Pearson had recorded eight straight victories inside the distance before his most recent bout. He takes on the 27-year-old El Harrak who fights out of Henderson, Nev. by way of London.

 

A 25-year-old with extreme knockout power, Tabiti last fought in December 2014 and delivered with a first-round knockout of Ernest Reyna. It was his ninth knockout in a row to start his career. Wazalelwa e Chicago kodwa ekulweni out of Las Vegas, “The Beast” hopes to make it 10 knockouts in 10 tries when he enters the ring onMay 2.
