Manny Pacquiao knows there are a lot of barriers to his fighting Floyd Mayweather.
He wants to make it clear that he’s not one of them.
“I am meeting with my promoter, Bob Arum (today) and I will insist that the fight with Mayweather be given the preference than the four others in the list I will fight next,” Pacquiao told Eddie Alinea of Philboxing.com.
Pacquiao said “it’s not really for some quarters to blame me if, in the long run, the fight wouldn’t push through. … I fight for the fans. I want the fans to be happy always.”
Mayweather, who will be serving a 90-day prison sentence, is cleared to fight in May at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas but Arum would prefer a November date at a bigger site.
