Pacquiao: If I Hurt Mayweather, I Expect He'll Run

Manny Pacquiao says he has a simple tactic to beat Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas in May.

"Use my left and right," the Filipino told reporters when he was asked how he planned to deal with his undefeated opponent's height and reach advantage, and Mayweather’s defensive skills.

"If I hurt him I expect him to run. Otherwise he might fight me toe-to-toe," said Pacquiao, the underdog for the richest fight in history.

"Pacmania" has grabbed hold of the Philippines as the 36-year-old boxer, dubbed "The National Fist" by local media, is set to fly to the United States to train for the bout on May 2.

The 38-year-old Mayweather, regarded as the favourite by bookmakers, has not lost in 47 fights, of which he won 26 inside the distance.

Pacquiao has 57 victories and five defeats on his record, as well as two draws and 38 knockouts.

But he exuded confidence in Manila on Wednesday as he handed out free pizzas to supporters while preparing for his third game as a basketball player in the Philippines' top professional league.

His determination to play for his Kia Carnival team has raised fears he might get injured before the fight, which media say could earn him $80 million.

"I know what I'm doing," said Pacquiao, a devout Christian who is the shortest and oldest player in the Philippine Basketball Association.

He said he would also play on Saturday, hours before his US flight. "My Lord, my God, He is the Creator of everything. He knows everything," he added, pointing to the ceiling and repeating his mantra that God will keep him from harm.

Unlike his boxing, however, Pacquiao's basketball career has been underwhelming. He has scored only one point, off a free throw, in his rookie season as player-coach for Kia Carnival.

"That's fine. What's important is my team won. I needed to play to inspire my teammates," he said as his courtside struggles continued, going 0-2 with an airball in just under six minutes of play.

This is gonna be a good fight

. . this though . .

we almost in march... once april is here the fight will basically be around the corner

 

[patscorpio]

I'm not saying that so why would you assume it, of course everyone's not gonna box like Floyd . . there's just glaring holes in his style. He's simply just a puncher and that's really the only asset to his arsenal

What weaknesses does he have and point out specific fights where he's shown them?

I just want them to finalize that undercard

that should be done by early march right?... so the fighter to have enouph time for training camp

Easy . . I can point to all of his fights, it's stylistic. He relies on power, doesn't worry about defense as much and he hasn't been 12 rounds . .

Talk more than the people actually being discussed

Floyd can fight 154

Shut up

 

[HARLEM AL]

can we atleast see how GGG does against a canelo or a cotto before we claim he can beat the best fighter in the world
i like GGG but lets not act like he wasn't struggling and taking flush shots in the first 4-5 rounds against murray.
There's nothing wrong with that because he still learning, And he adjusted well but he lets not go overboard here


damn can yall atleast wait until MAY 3 to start the ' GGG can beat floyd/Floyd is scared of GGG" Talk

i mean please, show a lil courtesy to emmanuel pacquaio

He didn't bring it up. A dikk riding ass Floyd fan brought it up.


If you think Floyd could go up to 160 and beat the best nikka at that weight than you obviously smoking crack. You nikkas need to stare clear talking boxing.

Other than mentioning he hasn't been 12 rounds you didn't answer that question at all breh. Stylistic is a vague comment that doesn't correlate unless you can provide specific examples

 

[HARLEM AL]

fukking Andre ward wanted to fight Floyd at one point. Should Floyd fight and beat him to?
