In an interview with Jimmy Manicad of GMA News, Manny Pacquiao admitted that some of the comments from the Mayweather camp have irritated him, specifically Mayweather Sr.'s constant accusations that he is using steroids or some other illegal substance. Although Mayweather Sr. implied that he was merely joking around, Pacquiao, not known for trash talking, issued a stern warning and advice to Mayweather Sr. in his native language, stating, "Siguro sabihan yung anak niya na pag natuloy yung laban naming eh may ano ng kaunti may hinanakit ng kunti dahil sa pag accuse ng tatay niya sa akin." Loosely translated, Pacquiao said that Floyd Mayweather Sr. should tell his son that if their fight goes through, he now has extra motivation because of the accusations. There is no doubt that Pacquiao will be more focused and more determined than ever before for his potential clash with Floyd Mayweather Jr. That being said, it was also noted in the interview that many in Pacquiao's camp have already advised him to retire. Fortunately for fans, the newly-crowned WBO welterweight champion is not quite ready to call it quits yet. In fact, his wife, Jinkee Pacquiao, firmly supports her husband's decision to fight on and is confident that he'll be the first to defeat Mayweather. "Maybe one more time and Mayweather's arrogance will end," she stated when asked if she was ready for her husband to retire in a recent interview with Snow Badua of Filipino TV Channel NBN 4. "I am very confident in Manny's fights. I think I'm most confident in this fight with Mayweather," she continued. With political aspirations on the horizon, however, it seems that a bout with Floyd Mayweather could very well be his last and his impending retirement is not too far off in the future. When that day comes, the sport of boxing and its fans will surely miss him.
I'm curious to see how Manny will react to Floyds in your face **** talking. I know Roach will do most of the trash talking from the Pacquiao camp. But this will really test Mannys mental state, i've never really seen manny go into a fight Pissed and Mad. Will this cause him to make mistakes?
Of course his wife wants him to fight Mayweather. She wants Manny to stack his chips as much as possible before the impending divorce proceedings.
I don't think Floyd will do all that trash talking, think he's some-what passed that stage. I reckon Mayweather will be highly motivated to do a job on Pacquiao. There won't be any trash talk, just pure business, training & preparation from Floyd, imo.
:good Yep, after that whole Krista Ranillo dust-up it's only a matter of time -- and $$$ -- before Pac and Jinkee = Shaquille & Shaunie = divorce. LOL! Good stuff, BigReg. Best laugh of the day for me! :rasta
