MANNY Pacquiao hit Brisbane today ready for battle with Fighting Schoolteacher Jeff Horn but also prepared for defeat at Suncorp Stadium on July 2.
The pair will meet in the biggest fight in Australian history and Pacquiao had a brief message for Horn yesterday: “I would say to him: Train hard make sure you are in good condition because we want to put on a good fight and entertain the fans.
?I am motivated and here to do my best.??
Pacquiao said he hadn?t studied Horn closely as yet but planned to watch his next three fights as soon as possible while he is in Australia this week on a promotional tour.
He said the prospect of fighting before 55,000 people at Suncorp Stadium was good for Horn and boosted his chances of scoring an upset victory.
“They will be cheering for him and that?s what I want,?? Pacquiao said.
“I love it. That?s what motivates me.??
