    “I‘ve said this over and over before and I’m saying this again,I want Floyd Mayweather Jr. to be my next opponent and I haven’t changed my choice despite recent developments.”

    “I am meeting with my promoter, Bob Arum on Tuesday and I will insist that the fight with Mayweather be given the preference than the four others in the list I will fight next,” Pacquiao told this writer in Tagalog in a long distance telephone conversation yesterday from General Santos City.

    “Whoever says I’m ducking this fighter or that fighter, doesn’t know me, or just plainly wants to put me in bad light,” he surmised. “I never dodged from fighting anybody. If I did, I won’t be where I am now.”

    “We know, too, that Mayweather has no promoter. He negotiates by himself. So if the fight won’t be realized, it’s no longer because of me,” Pacquiao said.

    I'll happily bet anyone that they don't fight May 5th. Seems too good to be true.

    If this is real, Pac just gained a lot of respect from me. Most people know he isn't a ducker, but the fact that he said he is going to insist Bob Arum to make the fight shows that at least he cares now.

    Lets see if Lonesome Bob picks up the phone and places a call to Mr Haymon.

    If he doesn't then Pacquiao is full of ****.

    Bob will cry because he'll lose money on the fight happening this soon, but there can be a bigger money rematch beyond this one. Balls in Mayweather's court...

    “After we’ve met, there will be negotiations between my promoters and his counterpart in whoever I’m going to fight. And you and I know that many things can happen in a negotiation,” he related. “If we agree that I will face Mayweather, then my promoter will talk to his counterpart in the Mayweather camp.”

    “When Arum sits in the negotiation table, he will be laying on the table all the conditions we want, which , everybody knew already are simple. That I will abide by his demand for drug testing. I am even agreeable to get lesser purse just so the fight would push through,” he recalled. “In other words, as far as my side is concerned, there will be no problem.”

    Wow! :happy
