Seo an méid a bhí an trodaithe agus rannpháirtithe a rá Déardaoin:

FLOYD Mayweather, 12-Am Domhanda Champion

“Tá mé go raibh slí bheatha iontach. Ní ba mhaith liom aon rud a athrú. Táimid go léir botúin a dhéanamh. Táimid beo agus foghlaim againn ach ní ba mhaith liom aon rud a athrú.

 

“Is é mo dhaid traenálaí iontach, Veirgil Hunter chomh maith. Ach nuair a thagann sé síos dó, a thagann sé síos go dtí an dá trodaithe sa fáinne.

 

“Is Andre Berto iomaitheoir diana, iar son domhan. Gach uair a théann sé amach ann, tugann sé é 100 faoin gcéad.

 

“Roghnaigh mé Berto mar tá sé an-spreagúil. Andre Berto ag dul a Floyd Mayweather bhrú chun an teorainn. Sin rud amháin a fhios agam.

 

“Tugann Berto i gcónaí troid spreagúil. Má fhaigheann sé knocked síos a fhaigheann sé ar ais ar bun. Sé a thabhairt i gcónaí 100 faoin gcéad. Lámha Fast, dornálaí maith.

 

“Tá a fhios agam cad a thógann sé nuair a tá sé troid ar an méid, mar tá mé ag troid ar íoc in aghaidh an-amharc le breis 10 bliana. Is Berto Guy an-dian ar shliocht, tá sé ocras agus níl sé ag dul a bheidh síos.

 

“Meán Fómhair 12ú is my last dance. Meán Fómhair 13 I just want to sit back and watch some football. Ba mhaith liom féachaint ar mo pháistí a fháil ar an oideachas is fearr. Agus ba mhaith liom a chaitheamh gach lá le mo chuid páistí. Is iad seo na laethanta is fearr de mo shaol.

 

“Is é an difríocht idir Andre Berto agus Pacquiao tú guys [do na meáin] chur hype taobh thiar Pacquiao. Mo phost a bhí le dul amach ansin agus a bheith Floyd Mayweather agus bheith ina imreoir fichille agus go bhfuil an méid a rinne mé. Fuair ​​mé ar bhealach a bhuachan.

 

“Líon 49, is é seo é. Tá mé go raibh slí bheatha iontach. Tá mé níos sine, wiser agus is é mo shláinte níos tábhachtaí ná rud ar bith. Meán Fómhair 12 Is é mo troid seo caite. Gach 48 troideanna Bhí eochair, ach uimhir 48 bhí an ceann is tábhachtaí.

 

“An aisling tosaithe ar fad a bhfuil ach dhá daoine. Mise agus mo athair. Díreach an bheirt againn.

 

“Nuair a fhéachann tú ar an dá rannán liom troid i, níl fear amháin a sheasann go léir ina n-aonar. D'fhéach mé ar an roinn agus d'iarr a tá i gcónaí i troid spreagúil diana, a bhfuil lámha tapaidh agus a thabharfaidh i gcónaí é 100 faoin gcéad, bhí sé Andre Berto

 

“Is é seo an Guy ní féidir liom a overlook. Sé tiomanta do spórt díreach cosúil mé féin agus sé ag dul a bhrú dom.”

 

Berto EILE, Dhá-Am Welterweight Champion Domhanda

 

“Tá sé i bhfad ag teacht. Anois táimid anseo. Tá duine ar bith go bhfuil a fhios dom feicthe rudaí is fearr ach ag an am céanna tá siad feicthe dom dul trí roinnt trialacha fíor. Cad a thagann le go bhfuil a lán d'obair chrua agus buanseasmhacht.

 

“Dhá bhliain ó shin bhí mé sa mháinliacht leaba ospidéal a bheith ar mo ghualainn agus gan fhios agam má raibh mé in ann teacht ar ais ó sin. Ag deireadh an lae bhí sé ina blessing. D'fhan muid dírithe agus anois táimid anseo.

 

“Tá a fhios agam Tá mé ag dul chun teacht i ann go tapa agus láidir. Tá mé 152 punt ceart anois. Ag deireadh an lae tá tú ag dul a fheiceáil páistí atá sé raibh a highs. Nó a bhfuil sé ag raibh a dtagann. Agus anois tá muid ceart ar ais go dtí a dhéanamh sé tarlú.

 

“Is é seo an troid gur bhraith mé Floyd theastaigh fós a dhéanamh a tharlóidh. Eisean ag teacht as an troid Pacquiao, ar ndóigh, tá sé éasca do dhaoine a downplay dom. Ní féidir liom imní faoi sin agus níl mé buartha faoi sin.

 

“An raibh tú riamh le feiceáil ar leadránach Andre Berto troid? Ag deireadh an lae a mbímid ag obair ar ár Butt amach, Tá mé ag obair ar feadh i bhfad. Ceart anois, Is é an fómhar ag teacht. Chuir muid na síolta agus is é an t-am anois.

 

“A thabhairt liom go bhfuil meascán annamh de luas, cumhacht agus explosiveness leis an tábla. Ba é an duine deireanach a cheannaigh sé leis an meascán Zab Judah. Tá mé níos óige, Tá ocras orm; Tá mé láidir agus go tapa. Tá mé ag dírithe ar cad tá mé ag teacht a fháil.

 

“Bhraith mé buíochas a chuaigh mé tríd an méid a chuaigh mé tríd ar chúis. Is é mo am anois. Níl aon lá níos fearr ná an láthair. Is Floyd aon choimhthíoch dom. Tá muid go domhain cheana féin i campa. Tá tú cinnte nach bhfuil ag iarraidh a chailleann an ceann seo.”

 

ROMAN MARTINEZ, WBO Sóisearach Lightweight Domhanda Champion

 

“Tá mé chomh sásta a bheith mar chuid den seó mór. Tá mé ag ullmhú go maith do troid. Gach duine a chonaic an chéad troid a fhios go raibh sé seo le cogadh agus beidh sé seo a bheith ar an rud céanna. Tá mé i gcruth mór agus tá mé réidh a choinneáil ar mo crios.

 

“An gá dom a bheith ag obair leis an gcomhlacht níos mó sa troid agus féach an féidir liom a chríochnú dó go luath an uair seo.

 

“Tá mé i gcruth maith i ndáiríre ar an troid agus mé ag obair chun coigeartuithe a dhéanamh a fháil ar an t-amach ach má tá muid chun dul leis an achar, beidh orainn a bheith réidh.

 

“Is dóigh liom go bhfuil an rematch troid an-spreagúil don teilifís, an lucht leanúna chineál grá.

 

“Gach duine a chonaic an chéad troid a fhios go raibh sé ina cogadh agus beidh sé seo a bheith ar an rud céanna. Maidir liom, tugann sé deis a fhágáil gan aon amhras i aon duine ar aigne go bhfuil mé an curadh dom.

 

“Is féidir Salido rá cad a deir sé, Tá súil agam tá sé i riocht maith mar tá mé. Sa deireadh beidh an fear is fearr a bhuachan troid agus a bheidh orm.”

 

Orlando Salido, Ceithre-Am Domhanda Champion

 

“Anois tá a fhios agam a laigí, Tá mé ag dul a ionsaí ón gcéad nóiméad, Tá a fhios agam cad atá le déanamh le haghaidh an bua.

 

“Caithfidh mé a athfhócasú meabhrach agus fisiceach, Níl mé ag dul a dhéanamh i bhfad níos éagsúla eile seachas a fháil ar an bua an am seo

 

“Tá mé ag dul go cinnte agus faigh ar ais an Teidil seo le Meicsiceo. Ní féidir liom a bhraitheann sé. Tá a fhios agam é.

 

“Tá mé an-sásta táimid ag troid i gcríoch neodrach le haghaidh ár rematch, Ní i Pórtó Ríce arís. Bhí mé an-ullmhaithe le haghaidh an chéad troid ach ní bheadh ​​an réiteoir in iúl dom le dul i ngleic mo troid. Dhealraigh sé go raibh an réiteoir ag caint liom an t-iomlán 12 babhtaí. Bhí mé ag iarraidh a díriú ach ar mo chéile comhraic, ach ní raibh mé.

 

“Tá mé an-excited faoi an troid. Is é seo an mhí seo an-speisialta do Meicsiceo agus go háirithe mar gheall ar sin, Tá mé ag dul a fháil ar an bua.

 

“Níl i gcónaí ar iomaíocht an-speisialta idir Meicsiceo agus Pórtó Ríce agus is dóigh liom é, agus sin an fáth mé ag iarraidh chomh híseal a bhuachan teideal seo Meicsiceo.”

JACK BADOU, WBC Super Middleweight Domhanda Champion

 

“Tá mé i gcampa ar feadh thart ar dhá mhí anois. É a bhí campa traenála an-mhaith agus tá mé réidh anois chun dul i ngleic leis. Tá muid fós in aghaidh na míosa chun dul agus tá muid réidh.

 

“Tá mé i gcónaí láidir meabhrach, ach rachaidh mé ar roinnt muinín breise as a bhfuil go crios glas. Tá tú fós chun fanacht humble agus a choinneáil ag obair go dian.

 

“Is Groves Trodaire maith go leor. I mo thuairimse, cinnte sé ag dul a bheith ina troid spreagúil. Tá a fhios agam sé ag teacht a fháil ar cad atá mianach agus tá sé ag teacht le dul i ngleic.

 

“Sé throid sa Ríocht Aontaithe i os comhair a lán daoine, ach tá sé ina chéim eile i Vegas.

 

“I mo thuairimse, tá mé an Trodaire iomlán níos fearr. Tá sé ag dul chun iarracht chun an t-dom amach agus mé ag dul chun iarracht a cnag amach dó. Tá sé seo ag dul a bheith ina troid i iontach. Tá mé ag dul cinnte do na knockout.

 

“Tá sé seo bhrionglóid fíor a bheith mar chuid den sórt sin ócáid ​​mhór ag MGM Grand do troid seo caite Floyd ar, tá sé ina blessing.

 

“Tá sé aon éagsúla a bheith dom an imeacht is mó nó ar an undercard. Beidh a bheith ann níos mó daoine ag féachaint ar mo troid atá iontach.

 

“Tá mé díreach tar éis a bheith ag éisteacht le mo cúinne, bheith cliste agus a bheith mé féin. Má dhéanann mé go mbainfidh mé ag siúl amach as ann le mo crios slán.”

 

GEORGE GROVES, Barr 168-Punt contender

 

“Tá gach rud i gcampa traenála curtha foirfe. Táimid ag choigeartú leis an difríocht ama agus an airde, a thógann cúpla lá, ach tá gach rud ag dul i ndáiríre go maith. Táimid tosaigh ar an sceideal.

 

“Tá muid ag oiliúint na bliana le haghaidh an troid sin tá mé ag mothú gur maith. Ní féidir liom fanacht a fháil i ann agus tús a pollta.

 

“I mo thuairimse, tá a fhios agam níos mó ná go leor faoi Jack. Mé le feiceáil air bhosca beo i gcoinne Anthony Dirrell agus mé staidéar mé ar téip. Níl a lán a cosúil faoi dó. Is maith liom an bhfíric go bhfuil sé ag teacht leis an U.S. agus rinne sí teach amach anseo, níl crógacht sa mhéid is go. Tá sé ag latched ar aghaidh go dtí campa rathúil ach sa deireadh thiar tá tú chun seasamh ar do dhá féin chos i an fáinne.

 

“I mo thuairimse, tá mé níos fearr ná é sa chuid is mó gnéithe. Má théim amach agus a fheidhmiú tá sé oíche éasca obair dom.

 

“Tá sé deas a bheith ar undercard mar atá dhéileáil mé leis an mbrú ar an imeacht is mó. Tá sé deas a bheith díreach in ann taitneamh a bhaint as leis an gcomhrac. Tá sé ag troid ollmhór ach an rud amháin go bhfuil mé a bheith buartha faoi ag troid air. Is deis iontach dom.

 

“Tá meirge níos meabhrach ná aon rud. Éisteacht leat ach labhairt Trodaire faoi meirge fáinne tar éis troid mar tá sé leithscéal. Táimid sa seomra aclaíochta ag feidhmiú, comhpháirtithe sparring ag fáil buille suas agus níl aon leithscéal chun nach chur isteach i gcomhrac fíor.

 

“Tá mé sásta a bheith anseo i Meiriceá. Beidh an tríú huair ag dul ar an teideal a bheith t-ádh. Táimid tar éis ullmhaithe go dícheallach. Táimid réidh le haghaidh gnímh.

 

“Mé le feiceáil Badou suas go dlúth agus pearsanta agus mar de fóill, Ní féidir linn aon rud a chuirfidh faoi deara dom fadhb a aimsiú. Tá sé beartaithe againn a chur ar an crios ar ais go dtí an Ríocht Aontaithe.

 

“Beidh sé a bheith chompord a bheith sa bhaile agus lena mates cobhsaí, ach go rachadh gach amach nuair a chéim tú ar an fáinne agus tá Guy ag iarraidh a chur ar do cheann de thalamh.

 

“Ó bhí mé seacht mbliana d'aois tá mé dreamed de bheith ina curadh domhanda. Tá mé go raibh ups agus downs i dornálaíocht, ach tá sé go léir a thagann ciorcal iomlán.

 

“Tá muid féin in áit iontach i gcampa traenála agus ní féidir liom fanacht literally a fháil i ann.”

 

An raibh SMITH, Iar Super Welterweight Champion Domhanda

 

“D'iarr mé ar na troideanna misniúla agus na dúshláin misniúla. Ba mhaith liom ach chun troid an chuid is fearr. Is cuma rá cad a cheapann daoine nó cad daoine mar gheall orm, chuir muid troideanna le chéile go maith.

Táimid iontach a bhí trí Seaimpíní ag Cinn Mayweather sin táimid ag déanamh rud éigin ceart.

 

“Is eití Martirosyan Trodaire maith, Tá mé rud ar bith ach meas dó. Táimid ag cur le chéile an obair riachtanach sa seomra aclaíochta a bheith rathúil.

 

“D'fhéadfadh sé seo troid a bheith dócha imeacht is mó áit éigin ach tá mé sásta a bheith mar chuid de stair agus finale Floyd ar. Tá mé ag súil go mór le oíche mhór de dornálaíochta.”

 

Eití MARTIROSYAN, 2004 U.S. Cluichí Oilimpeacha agus 154-Pound contender

 

“Is é seo an troid mór dom. Mo troid seo caite d'fhág mé i na breithiúna’ lámha agus chuaigh sé an bealach eile.

 

“Meán Fómhair 12 Níl mé ag ligean ar cíos na breithiúna a fháil ar mo bhealach. Tá mé ag dul chun knockout agus tú ag dul a fheiceáil ar an eití is fearr leat atá le feiceáil riamh.”

 

VIRGIL HUNTER, Traenálaí Berto ar

 

“Tá mé sásta a bheith mar chuid den ócáid ​​stairiúil. Tá sé na chuimhneacháin a léiríonn mé ar an méid a théann na fir óga trí. Mé le feiceáil ar roinnt de na trodaithe mór a tháinig ós ár gcomhair. Nuair a fheiceann mé roinnt de na dearcaí diúltacha ar an ócáid ​​seo, tá sé ó dhaoine nach bhfuil a fhios cad iad trodaithe dul tríd ag an seomra aclaíochta.

 

“Táimid ag inis riamh a scor agus a riamh a thabhairt suas. Bheith 48-0 Ní post éasca. Go háirithe nuair a théann tú ar ais go dtí lá amháin agus na constaicí agus na cnoic a bhfuil tú a tóg. Sin an spiorad an spóirt. I mo thuairimse, a luaithe is Floyd Mayweather imithe, beidh orainn a bhraitheann ar an láthair go raibh an fear ar an spórt. Chonaic mé an rud céanna le Muhammad Ali.

 

“Andre Berto Tá a shárú go leor ina shaol agus tá mé sásta a bheith déanta ar a acquaintance. Epitomizes sé cad is Trodaire. Sé a shárú agus tá sé tuillte an deis seo bunaithe ar thalamh go.

 

“Nuair a fhéachann tú ag an pacáiste sa rannán welterweight níl ach ceann amháin a sheasann amach, Tá gach duine eile sa mhéid is go phacáiste.

FLOYD Mayweather

“Tá sé [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.

 

“Rinne muid an méid a bhí againn a dhéanamh anocht 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.

 

“Gach 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 anocht.

 

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 bliana, I’m truly truly blessed.

 

 

MANNY PACQUIAO

“Bhí sé ag troid mhaith; 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 11ú agus 12ú babhtaí.

 

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, Bealtaine 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 ar an Satharn. It’s a blessing to participate in this type of press conference and come Dé Sathairn, Beidh mé bua! 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, POF Promotions 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, Halla na Laochra Tionscnóra, Céim Barr

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. Anois, 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 (Aibreán 29, 2015) - Floyd "Airgead" Mayweather agus Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao faced off for only the third time Dé Céadaoin during the final press conference for their long-awaited welterweight world championship unification fight this Dé Sathairn, Bealtaine 2, ag an 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 Márta 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 Dé Céadaoin 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 bliana.

 

“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 ar ais. 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., Athair Mayweather ar & Traenálaí

 

“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, Traenálaí Pacquiao ar

“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, POF Promotions 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 11ú consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14ú 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, Halla na Laochra Tionscnóra, Céim Barr

 

“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, Uachtarán, HBO Spóirt

 

“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. Chomh maith leis sin, 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. Tune-in and tune-in early.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, Feidhmeannacht na Leas-Uachtarán agus Bainisteoir Ginearálta, Showtime Spóirt

 

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

 

RICHARD STORM, Uachtarán na Siamsaíocht & Spóirt do ionaid saoire MGM Idirnáisiúnta

 

“It is an honor for the MGM Resorts to house this highly anticipated event. Sports fans around the world will have the unique opportunity to watch two of boxing’s top champions, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, as they go toe-to-toe at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

“Excitement for this event has resonated throughout our MGM Resorts properties and the entire Las Vegas community.

 

“We have created additional programming at the resorts including closed circuit viewing that gives fans the chance to experience MGM’s great championship fights.

 

“We just want to thank everybody involved in this great event. We’re excited, we’re proud and we can’t wait for Saturday night.”

Ar deireadh!!!! After six years of arguing, negotiating, finger-pointing, and the real possibility that it would never happen, the long-awaited superfight between Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. and Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is finally about to happen. There is a possibility of grossing upwards of $300 million between them, easily the richest event in sports history. Mayweather is set to make $180 milliún. He would earn $15 million per round, $5 million per minute, & $83,333.33 per second. Pacquaio would make $120 million and would earn $10 million per round, $3,333,333.33 per minute, & $55,555.56 per second. Las Vegas is a gambling town, and after years of bluffing, raising the ante, and calling each other out, both fighters have put all their chips in. Their legacies are on the table. Anois, it’s time to see who is really holding the Aces when they step in the ring.

STÍL

Mayweather:

A pure boxer with great speed who does everything well with an arsenal that includes a snapping jab, accurate right hand and a left hook that can be doubled and tripled with tremendous effect. Uses feint moves to freeze opponents and open punching lanes. Tucks his chin well behind his shoulder to roll with punches. Even on the ropes, he is a difficult target to land a solid punch on. He doesn’t have great punching power. Most of his stoppage victories come from outpunching and outclassing his opponents but rarely scoring clean knockouts.

 

Pacquiao:

Pacquiao boxes from a southpaw stance, moving forward and bobbing and feinting his way in. Once in close, he uses his right hand to find the range and then unleashes his powerful left, either straight or looping, and he will often double and triple it to the body and head. Uses quick head shifts to slip punches while moving forward. Has soundly developed under the tutelage of Freddie Roach, developing a decent right hook, either as a lead punch or thrown behind the left. Uses quick head shifts to slip punches while moving forward. Is no longer the feared finisher he once was earlier in his career.

 

LÁIDREACHTAÍ

Mayweather:

* Experience – Boxing is in Mayweather’s blood, and he’s been involved in the sport since his childhood. Completed an extensive amateur career by winning the bronze medal in the ’96 Olympic Games. He has been competing successfully on a championship level for the past 17 bliana, facing and defeating fighters with a variety of styles.

 

* Conditioning – Mayweather is a fitness freak with an amazing work ethic when it comes to training. Few fighters push themselves as much as Mayweather does in the gym, even doing midnight training sessions. It is evident in the ring when his stamina carries him in the late rounds.

 

* Ring Generalship – Mayweather knows every inch of the ring and how to control a fight. He knows when to attack, when to box, when to turn up the heat, and when to coast. Mayweather owns the ring when he is in there. Even the rare times when he has been stunned in fights, he was able to quickly settle down and quell the threat.

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Unorthodox Style – Pacquiao is very unorthodox, even for a southpaw. He moves straight in but is hard to time with his bobbing and head feints. Before most opponents can time his onrushes, he is throwing whirlwind punches from a variety of angles.

 

* Speed – Pacquiao is fleet of foot and the owner of very fast hands, especially for a boxer with such considerable power. He quickly moves into position and fires rapid one-two combinations. He’s expanded his arsenal to include blinding combinations of hooks, uppercuts, and double or triple left hands.

 

* Stamina – Pacquiao is always in tremendous shape and fights just as hard in the last round as he does in the first. He applies a ton of pressure and is constantly punching, wearing opponents down in the process.

 

LAIGÍ

Mayweather:

* Aging – Mayweather may have an unblemished record, but Father Time has never been defeated. Mayweather has been more flat-footed in recent bouts. His first encounter with Marcos Maidana was a rough and tumble affair where Mayweather looked very ordinary. The rematch was more definitive but unimpressive.

 

* Distractions – Maweather loves to be in the public eye and never shies away from controversy. Most notably are his public disputes and reconciliations with his father and trainer, Floyd Mayweather, Senior. The most recent camp turbulence came in the form of a training camp dispute between Floyd Sr. and Alex Ariza, working as the strength and conditioning coach. A non-harmonious training camp could lead to unnecessary distractions.

 

* Punching Power – Most of Mayweather’s stoppage wins came from an accumulation of punches. The usual result is the referee or opposing corner stopping the bout to prevent further punishment. Notwithstanding his controversial and explosive knockout of Victor Ortiz, it is rare to see Mayweather finish a bout with one punch, dating all the way back to his days as a 130-pounder.

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Killer Instinct – Pacquiao was once regarded as a ruthless buzzsaw, cutting through opponents until they succumbed. He has since lost that edge, failing to win a fight by stoppage since 2009. More of a concern is that on several occasions he eased up on outclassed opponents, allowing them to survive the last few rounds.

 

* Trouble with Counterpunchers – Pacquiao is an aggressive, offense-first fighter who will freely throw punches, but he can be timed and is often open to be hit with counters. Juan Manuel Marquez gave him fits with movement and counter punches, even scoring a spectacular knockout over Pacquiao with a perfectly-timed counter right hand.

 

* Aois – Pacquiao is no longer the phenomenon he was in his 20s. He is now in his mid-30s. As he has physically aged, he has also taken on a super human schedule with political aspirations in his home country, numerous personal appearances, and several difficult bouts.

 

 

Bout ROIMHE

Mayweather:

(09-13-14) Mayweather neutralized and outboxed Marcos Maidana in a rematch from their closer-than-expected bout from four months prior. While the action was sparse, it was a case of Mayweather using his superior skills and intelligence to thwart his aggressive but limited opponent.

 

Pacquiao:

(11-20-14) Pacquiao won a dominating unanimous decision over the game but vastly inexperienced Chris Algieri. Pacquiao was in control from the start and scored a total of six knockdowns, somehow failing to score the knockout some experts thought he needed to be in position for the Mayweather fight to happen.

 

THREE BEST PERFORMANCES

 

Mayweather:

* Diego Corrales (1/20/01) – Experts were torn on who to pick in this one with many leaning towards Corrales to win by KO. Mayweather never let him in the bout, knocking him down five times before the referee halted the bout in the 10th round.

 

* Arturo Gatti (6/25/05) – Although Mayweather was a solid betting favorite, many expected Gatti to make things rough for Mayweather. It never happened, as Mayweather floored Gatti in the first round and dealt out a severe beating before Gatti’s corner stopped the bout after six one-sided rounds.

 

* Ricky Hatton (12/8/07) – Hatton was undefeated coming into the bout and set a gameplan of constant pressure to wear out Mayweather. After a few uncomfortable rounds, Mayweather was able to find his range and take over, flooring Hatton twice in the 10th round and forcing a stoppage.

 

Pacquiao:

* Oscar De la Hoya (12/06/08) – It’s hard to imagine now, but the consensus at the time was that De la Hoya would destroy the smaller Pacquiao in a landslide. It was a landslide, but it was Pacquiao dishing out the beating, ripping De la Hoya apart with both hands. After eight one-sided and brutal rounds, a swollen and bloodied De la Hoya was beaten into permanent retirement.

* Miguel Cotto (11/14/09) – Pacquiao impressively dismantled the larger and physically imposing Cotto. Pacquiao dropped the Puerto Rican superstar twice early. From the 6th round on, Pacquiao had Cotto in a defensive shell, battering him until the referee stopped the bout in the 12th round.

* Ricky Hatton (05/02/09) – Pacquio ran through Hatton in fast and destructive fashion. Hattonwhile still an underdogwas expected to provide a challenge with his strength and mauling tactics. Pacquiao unveiled an improved right hook and had Hatton down twice in the first round before crushing him with a devastating knockout in the second.

KEYS TO VICTORY

 

Mayweather:

* Get Pacquiao’s respect early, timing his rushes, and hitting him with straight right hands.

 

* Use clinches to smother Pacquiao and thwart any offensive momentum.

 

* Do not try to trade punches with Pacquiao.

 

 

 

Pacquiao:

* Use feints to get Mayweather to make the first move.

 

* Don’t aim strictly at Mayweather’s head. Focus on the body, arms, and torso?

 

* Do not let Mayweather control the tempo.

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

* Can the fight live up to the hype? Unless this turns out to be Hagler-Hearns, Gatti-Ward, and Ali-Frazier all rolled up into one, it will be nearly impossible to live up to the hype that has surrounded this match-up for over six years. The hype might be inflated and overbearing, but it can still be entertaining.

 

* Is the fight happening too late? Both fighters are in their late 30s. While these two phenoms are still elite competitors, they are past their primes. Even so, instances of fighters past their primes matching up perfectly and turning in an epic encounter have occurred on several occasions.

 

* Who has the most to lose? Mayweather without a doubt has the most to lose. Pacquiao is an icon in his home country, so no matter what happens, he will remain a beloved figure. Mayweather is boasting about himself as “The Best Ever” and relishes his undefeated record. He even said recently that he’s better than Muhammad Ali was. A loss obliterates the “0” on Mayweather’s record and will provide more fodder for the argument that he is not even the best of his generation.

 

* How will their styles match up? It figures to be a classic boxer vs puncher match-up. Mayweather is a consummate strategist. He is a master of figuring out his opponents, frustrating them, and setting up counter punches. Pacquiao will press the action, try to overwhelm, breaking through Mayweather’s defense with a high volume of punches. It will be a clash of Quantity against Quality. Pacquiao will throw more punches, more punches than anybody has ever thrown against Mayweather. Mayweather will throw less but land at a higher connect rate, with sharp counter punches.

 

* What are the chances of a Knockout? Pacquiao is known as the better puncher, but he has failed to score a stoppage victory since battering Miguel Cotto in 2009. Mayweather has scored only one stoppage victory since 2007 against the weak-chinned Victor Ortiz. The two most likely scenarios for a knockout win would either be Pacquiao becoming reckless and leaving himself open to Mayweather’s straight right hand or Mayweather suddenly becoming an old fighter and wilting under Pacquiao’s relentless pressure. Likely, this fight will go to the scorecards.

 

 

* Will the officials factor into the conclusion? Kenny Bayless has been assigned as the referee and is regarded as one of the best in boxing. He has worked as the referee in six previous Pacquiao fights and four previous Mayweather bouts. The only backlash he received from those ten total bouts was the Mayweather-Maidana rematch where he was criticized for breaking up the inside clinches too quickly, seemingly favoring Mayweather against the mauling style of Maidana. With Mayweather naturally bigger than Pacquiao, breaking up clinches quickly (especially if Pacquiao has any momentum) would serve more as a disadvantage to Mayweather. The judges are Burt Clements, Dave Moretti, both veteran officials in Las Vegas, and Glenn Feldman, based out of Connecticut. Moretti has worked nine Mayweather bouts and six Pacquiao bouts. Clements has worked three Mayweather bouts and one Pacquiao bout. Feldman has only worked one Mayweather bout early in his career.

 

* What happens next? If the fight turns out to be entertaining, gar, or controversial, a rematch is possible depending on the outcome.

If Mayweather wins, Tá sé 48-0 and can walk away from Pacquiao and seek a different challenge for his final fight. He could even seek a possible move up to grab a title at middleweight and another superfight with the next big sensation Gennady Golovkin.

If Pacquiao wins, a rematch is almost a given, especially with so much money on the table.

A draw would also most likely force a rematch for the final fight of Mayweather’s career sometime in September.

 

PENECALE Prediction

The anticipation as the fighters make their way to the ring will be electric. The growing crescendo of excitement will continue through the introductions with Mayweather sporting a confident smirk and Pacquaio fixated with an icy glare.

 

The waiting will be over when the bell rings and both fighters come out to the center of the ring. Mayweather will be moving to his left, rolling his hands and probing with a soft jab. Pacquiao will be like a coiled spring, bouncing back and forth and feinting with his jab. Pacquiao will throw a few wild left hands that Mayweather backs away from, his back hitting the ropes as he slides away to his right. The round will end without anything conclusive landing for either fighter, making it difficult to score.

 

Pacquiao will look to increase the pace in the second round and outwork Mayweather. While Mayweather is the center of the ring, he will dictate the pace and the action, keeping Pacquiao limited to throwing one punch at a time. When Pacquiao is able to cut the ring off and back Mayweather to the ropes, he will unleash combinations. The flurries for the most part won’t land, but the work rate will stir the crowd into a frenzy.

 

Pacquaio will continue the high volume of punches through the 3rd agus 4ú rounds until Mayweather lands a right hand while their feet are tangled, causing Pacquiao to sprawl to the canvas. He will protest while Bayless administers the count, but he will not be hurt. Mayweather will smile and move in, throwing a few right hands, truly seeing if Pacquiao is stunned. Pacquiao will respond with his own vicious left hand, bringing the crowd to their feet as the bell rings.

 

Mayweather will again box cautiously starting the 5ú bhabhta, staying on the outside and pivoting away when Pacquiao gets close. The fight will resemble a cat and mouse affair with Pacquiao trying to corner Mayweather and Mayweather trying to bait him into making a mistake. Pacquiao will be the aggressor, throwing far more punches. Mayweather will be timing him with single counter punches throughout the 6ú agus 7ú babhtaí.

 

A sharp left hand by Pacquiao in the 8ú round will startle Mayweather and cause blood to leak from his nose. Pacquiao will try to press the advantage and unleash another torrent of punches. Mayweather will pull away against the ropes, and Pacquiao will focus his attention to the body with a combination of punches to the chest and shoulder, forcing Mayweather to clinch and break the momentum.

 

Mayweather will get up on his toes in the 9ú bhabhta, using lateral movement to keep Pacquiao from setting his feet and unleashing more than one punch at a time. Pacquiao will step in with a few lefts that are blocked, but Mayweather’s movement will keep him from throwing any follow-up punches. As Mayweather slips out, he will land his own counter punches, making it another difficult round to score.

 

Throughout the 10ú agus 11ú babhtaí, Mayweather will execute a plan to counter Pacquiao with single punches and avoid most of his counter flurries. Pacquiao will step in with a hard left to the body, forcing a Mayweather clinch. When the action resumes, Pacquiao will look to attack the body again, only to be met with a straight right hand over the top.

 

The final round in a very close bout will see Mayweather neutralizing Pacquiao’s rushes, landing single counter punches and pivoting away from danger, sharpshooting from the outside. Pacquiao will desperately try to corner Mayweather but he won’t allow it, moving on the outside and clinching in close, bringing an anticlimactic ending as the final bell rings.

 

It will take several minutes for the scorecards to be tabulated, with the consensus believing Mayweather won 7 babhtaí, including a knockdown. Pacquaio will pray in his corner while Mayweather smiles and laughs with his entourage.

 

The decision will be as follows. Glen Feldman will score the bout 114-113 for Pacquaio. Burt Clements will score 115-112 for Mayweather. Dave Moretti will score the bout a very curious 115-112 for the winner of the biggest superfight of the century…. MANNY “PACMAN” PACQUIAO!!!!

 

With the decision announced, a disgusted Mayweather will demand a rematch before storming out of the ring, setting up another lucrative event in September and a possible trilogy.
