Pacquiao on if he still gets excited during fight week after having been through it so many times:
?Yeah, absolutely. I?m so excited for this fight, going to Vegas, this is my last workout here before the fight, here in Wild Card. So, excited to go there.
?[Fight week is the] same thing, normal, but this is different. It is kind of different this time because especially I?m more motivated, excited.?
On if it?s been Thurman?s trash talk that has motivated him:
?Yeah.?
On what Thurman said that got under his skin:
?All of those, you know, if you talk trash like about boxing, but in personal attacks that?s different. I mean, I have to prove something.?
On if he feels sharper for this fight than he did leading into the Broner fight:
?Right now I think we did better than the last fight with Broner. We did a lot, especially running to the mountain. We start early in the Philippines for this training camp, so I think we did good.?
On why he thinks he?s sharper now than in his last fight:
?More active in exercise, training.?
On how he can still be having fun boxing after all the years he?s put in:
?I just feel like that. I mean having fun because my style is ? during those time that we didn?t have a scheduled fight I don?t go to the gym for boxing. Like no boxing at all, but continuing my exercise like playing basketball almost everyday, keep in shape, stay in shape so when you get a scheduled fight, and preparing for the fight like this, you?re getting excited and happy again.?
On the death of Pernell Whitaker:
?Condolence to his family from my family…I remember Whitaker. Before I?m watching his couple fights, especially the fight with Julio Cesar Chavez…[his] footwork is good, very good.?
