Floyd Mayweather Jr. really wants to fight Manny Pacquiao on May 5th. He told the judge that he has a mega fight scheduled on that date. He told Ben Thompson of Fight Hype that it?s the only fight he wants. Finally, he went on Twitter and called out Manny: ?Step up punk! Manny Pacquiao I am calling you out. Let?s fight, May5th.?
If I was Manny, I might have found this call insulting, however Pacquiao?s legendary trainer Freddie Roach feels it?s a move in a positive direction.
?I love that. It?s something positive,? said Roach when I spoke with him on Friday at the Wildcard Boxing Gym in Hollywood:? I want this fight to happen as badly as anything else in the world, because I look forward to the challenges. I know he is the biggest challenge out there for me and Pacquiao.
