    I think I seen a major change in Pacquiao...I took my time, I made the right move, and I'm just ready to go out there and be exciting. "

    "I'm happy that the fight is finally taking place. It's all about self-preservation."

    I've fought for over 30 years. I've been a professional now 19 years, you know, and world champion 18 years, and I'm not scared of any fighter.

    He definitely learned from Leonard, Problem is his fans won't accept it.

    If your boy says something definitive and your interpretation of it is the exact opposite then you have a problem.

    It's the same reason why neither side wanted the fight off and on until now. Both sides maximized their revenues for years by milking the idea of a potential fight between them. I guess I'm just surprised and glad it's happening. Some fans refuse to accept the financial side of business but unfortunately we see this constantly in boxing...

    Utter tripe.

    Floyd could have made more in ONE fight than THREE, but chose to do the three - why?

    Besides, how much has he changed his tune? Going from health comes first to saying now is the right time?

    Take his sack out of your mouth and see him for what the rest of the world does: A coward.

    PAC fans are already making excuses. Floyd waited for Manny to decline and all this bull****. Maybe Manny shouldn't have walked away in 09 when both guys where prime!!

    The problem is nobody chose THREE fights instead of ONE. The ONE is still happening and it will make more money now than ever.

    The Money The Money The Money. Really ? Try doing the math at $100 do you think the networks and the Promoters are going to let the two fighters keep all the money?

    Floyd mayweather is a coward. I've heard it all now. Who has he not fought? After pacman he still won't get credit from some people.

    60/40 plus gate and ppv rev. Pretty much what Floyd said Pac would never get if he ever did agree to fight Manny.
